Does anyone else feel like their practice just flows better when they’re wearing something that makes them feel confident? I’ve been rotating between the same old leggings for months, and I’m ready to refresh my yoga wardrobe.
Would love to hear what brands or styles everyone’s loving lately. I’m all about comfort, but also want pieces that make me excited to roll out my mat!

I’ll bite the bullet and state the obvious then to start with. For quality, Lulu is an obvious one (although personally I think their quality is great but their style is a little plain for my taste).
For me, yoga sets are all about comfort, flexibility, and breathability. If I’m going into a sweaty yoga session I know I’m going to be a sweaty mess (but then I get to look great afterward so I’m less concerned with how I look during the practice).
“Cute” is a subjective term so some probably think they’re cute too. They do come with the price tag though and if you don’t need that kind of quality for your practice I like a little more color and flare:
@Littlepanda makes a good point, but it doesn’t have to be one or the other.
Girlfriend Collective has truly become a cherished part of my practice! Their pieces flow so beautifully through each asana, like a second skin that honors both body and earth. There’s something deeply grounding about wearing mindfully-made clothing during our sacred movement, it feels like an extension of the yogic principles we grow on the mat.
Sometimes those super adorable yoga outfits might not be the bestest choice. There are a lot of brands that are great if you’re just trying to take that Instagram photo or hanging around before class, but once you actually start to sweat, you might… die. They’re just not meant for your heart rate to go up like that.
Then some pretty sets are totally perfect for inside the studio (they’re so cute!), when you go play outside you might want clothes that are extra strong and special for outdoor adventures! The tough workout clothes are like superhero outfits that can handle rain and sun and everything! It’s like choosing between a pretty dress and your favorite play clothes, both are awesome but for different times!
Both brands really embody that perfect balance of fashion-forward design and authentic yoga practice. Love seeing how they’ve elevated activewear while staying true to yogic principles!
