Activewear for Yoga

[BravoMyDear]

I need some help, I’ve started doing yoga and Pilates regularly and I’d like to get myself some nice activewear but everything is skintight and crop tops! I’m 40 and not in the best shape, currently quite self conscious so the whole skin tight co-ord look is not for me!

Im a 10/12 on top, 12/14 on bottom with a very soft middle and quite chunky thighs. Loads of leggings I’ve tried on are high waisted which I find really uncomfy round my middle as my torso is quite short. Baggy tops are not much use for yoga as they end up sliding up to my ears in downward dog and exposing all my wobbly bits!

Can anyone recommend any nice pieces that are flattering and comfy?

I buy stuff from Bam clothing https://bambooclothing.co.uk/.
Also mid 40s with belly. Some really soft, not tight bottoms and some lovely tops that have a kind of waistband that isn't tight but doesn't ride up when upside down!

Thanks 😊 I really like the grace yoga pants. How do you find the sizing -do they come up big/small?

I really like these:

I wear them with a long t-shirt. Bam are very good for long tops.

Tops like this:

Pretty true to size but not tight. I'm 14 on top and 16 on bottom and find these really comfortable and not tight.

I have the grace pants actually and they're my absolute fave for yoga and Pilates. So soft and comfy and flattering and also lightweight

Style and beauty are not only about physical appearance but also about how you carry yourself, your confidence, and your inner well-being. Combining yoga with your style and beauty routine can have a profound impact on both your physical and mental well-being.

Old thread I know but Sweaty Betty "Gary" yoga pants are lovely and not skin tight

It took a while to find out what I was happy in. I like basic cotton wide-waistband leggings from Primark as the waistband doesn't cut in or fold itself up when you bend. Size down as the elastic isn't great. I had an expensive pair that looked nice but was so annoying in class! I also go for their vests as they're breathable and wash really easily.

I found somewhere selling coloured bamboo clothes ages ago but can’t remember what it was Called if I find out I will let all youse know

I second the Gary pants from Sweaty Betty - Yoga Clothing Reviews UK reviews them here Yoga Clothing Reviews UK :)
