Workout clothes have a simple job: stay in place, feel comfortable and suit the activity you have planned. This guide covers the points worth checking when you shop for yoga or gym wear and for lifting gloves, then looks at four items from our store and what their descriptions say.
What to look for
- Fit and waist height. Yoga involves bending and stretching, so a waistband that sits higher is one option to consider. Compare your own measurements with the size information on the product page.
- Fabric. Cotton is soft and familiar. Quick-dry fabrics are made to dry faster after you sweat. Stretchy fabric moves with you in poses and lunges.
- Pockets. If you train with your phone, look for pockets and check what the listing says they are meant to hold.
- Sets versus separates. A matching set gives you a top and a bottom that go together in one purchase. Separates let you mix pieces you already own, and a multi-pack gives you several pairs to rotate between wash days.
- Gloves. For lifting, look at the palm, the grip surface and how much of the hand is covered. Fingerless gloves leave your fingertips free, and an open back covers less of the hand.
- Sizes and colors. Some listings come in one option and others in several. Check which sizes and colors are offered before you add anything to your cart.
