Pilates clothing: What you really need - from mat to reformer

Pilates is more than a trend - it is a holistic training for body and mind. Whether you train on the mat or at the reformer: the right clothing plays a crucial role in your well-being and freedom of movement. In this article, you will learn what to consider when choosing your Pilates clothing - and why it should be specifically tailored to your training.

Why is special Pilates clothing important?

Pilates thrives on controlled, flowing movements and a conscious body awareness. Clothing that is too tight, too loose or slippery disrupts this flow - and can restrict your practice. The right clothing supports you in this:

breathe freely
perform movements precisely
be mindful of your body
to feel comfortable and safe

Clothing for mat Pilates

In classic mat Pilates, you often lie on your back, stomach or side. This means that your clothes should be comfortable but not too loose so that nothing slips. Recommendation for your Pilates outfit on the mat:

Leggings with a high waistband provide support in the abdominal area
Tight fit tops ideally with an integrated support bra: so you don't have to readjust for inverted postures
Soft materials with stretch: promote mobility and comfort
Barefoot or Pilates socks with grip: for a secure stance

Clothing for Reformer Pilates

In Reformer Pilates, you move on special equipment with straps, ropes and a sliding platform. It is particularly important that your clothing fits snugly and does not get caught in the equipment or slip. This is what you need for your Reformer Pilates outfit:

Seamless, tight-fitting leggings
Compression tops or sports bras with a firm fit
Pilates socks for maximum stability on the equipment
No zippers, cords or pockets that could get in the way
