1. This cinched bra
Athleta's cinch bra works well as a trendy sports bra or crop top.
Yoga—especially the hot and sweaty Bikram variety—can cause sweat to pool between and beneath your breasts. This trendy cinched bra features a strategically placed opening for extra ventilation, removable pads, and is made of its butter-soft Powervita material. “Ridiculously comfortable and so cute!!!” says one reviewer. “Material is dreamy, and it's all-around amazing!” The bra is available in two sizes, A to C and D to DD.

2. These comfy joggers
You haven't known comfort until you've tried a yoga class in Athleta joggers.
Contrary to the name, you can sit still in Shavasana and still get the same soothing, breathable benefits from joggers. Boasting more than 2,200 reviews, this customer favorite comes in seven colors, regular, tall, and petite sizing, and features a curved seam for a flattering behind. It’s got deep pockets for your post-yoga belongings, a high waistband that lies flat on the tummy while tucking it in, and a roomy leg that makes for a cozy alternative to leggings.
“The most comfortable Athleta pant I own. I wear them on a daily basis and hope to get more in each color. Definitely worth every penny. Comfortable, soft fabric that washes well,” says one fan. Interested in hopping on the camo trend? Athleta offers its signature joggers in the trendy print, too.

Every yogi wardrobe needs a solid pair of crops.
Leggings are a yoga staple since they keep you feeling nice and tucked in—and their body-hugging design allows you to ensure perfect form in the mirror while you practice.

Reviewers call the three color options “to die for.”

4. This airy tank
These airy tank provides ample coverage and plenty of comfort.
Let’s face it: yoga is often just one stop in a long day, and it gets pretty tedious to keep changing outfits. Loose-fitting tanks are ideal for those errands you have to run before or after yoga practice so you don’t feel so “exposed” out in the wild. The Breezy Tank features wide shoulder straps, a lightweight linen-esque material that looks sheer in certain colorways, and a curved hem that flatters the behind.
With nearly 1,000 reviews, customers are particularly enthusiastic about how breathable it is while providing ample coverage with one reviewer writing, “I bought one last year and was so happy they brought this back in new colors. I have two and would love one in every color. This tank is perfect for Las Vegas weather and it looks amazing. Can't get over how soft and comfy this tank is.”

5. These capris with extra coverage
Skeggings are the new skorts.
If you’re more accustomed to the baggy sweats look, rocking a pair of skin-tight leggings can feel pretty daunting. The solution? This equally-flattering 2-in-1 pair of capris with a sweat-wicking skirt above it (think of it as a skort in legging form, so skeggings it is). This high-waisted pair includes a hidden back pocket and a quick-dry nylon/Lycra fabric reviewers love. “I just love the texture of this fabric!” one reviewer says. “Usually workout pants are so hot and clingy. This is a nice, lightweight, cool fabric. Very flattering fit, even in medium and large sizes.”

They have a handy stash pocket and high waistband that reviewers say are both hard to come by in bicycle shorts.
