Whether you're a keen yogi or someone who just low-key dabbles with the odd home workout video or app, you'll know that wearing the right kit for your yoga practice is actually a pretty important part of the experience. No one likes the distraction of workout leggings that start rolling down in the middle of a cat-cow, and no-one enjoys compression tights designed for distance running that cut off your circulation mid-savasana. men s t shirts

Investing a little more time in your practice? We say it's high time to treat yourself to a cute yoga outfit. Why? Well, stats have actually shown that what you wear influences your behaviour: one Journal of Experimental Social Psychology study suggests that workout clothes make you feel ready to get your flow, sweat or jog on, merely via the power of association. That said, you're also more likely to workout if you feel comfortable and confident. You're essentially investing in your health here, guys! Just saying.

Scouting out all our favourite brands for yoga clothes, including finding the cutest matching yoga sets (who needs to spend time thinking about how to create a lewk before hitting the mat?), we've rounded up our top choices of yoga outfits. Perfect for any type of class, be it yin, vinyasa and even hot yoga (hint: shorts, not leggings, are your friend for that one). Happy warrior posing, one and all!

Shorts on sale for £7 and a matching sports bra for just £10.50? Sign us all the way up! This yoga 'fit is quite literally fitted, so will move with your body as you downward dog until you heart's content.

If shopping for eco-friendly activewear is a top priority for you, BAM Bamboo Clothing is a brand well worth getting to know – it prioritises using bamboo-derived materials in its designs, which mean yoga pants like these are not only buttery soft but sustainably made.

Thanks to the cuffed hem detail and fold over waist, they'll stay put throughout any pose too.

Another pair of yoga pants designed by BAM with the planet in mind, this black pair are so versatile you could even don them outside of the studio with some vintage sequins and platform heels for a night out. We stan a boho chic moment!

The 'Wild Thing' sports bra from Alo Yoga is a bestseller for a reason – it's chic (so bloomin' chic!), flattering and remains supportive. Our tester had concerns that because of the cool design it might not deliver in the support stakes, but it certainly did (and saw her receive plenty of compliments to boot).

If you're looking for silky smooth leggings with a high waist that won't budge or dig in when you're in the middle of pigeon pose, then Alo Yoga have got the goods you need.

The Alo Yoga website also has a great feature where you can see their styles on different body shapes and sizes.

Who says check can't make its way into the yoga studio? This crop top is made of sweat-wicking material that dries quickly and would elevate any pair of leggings it's teamed with (or – for the more adventurous amongst us – black flared yoga pants).

The best part of opting for a unitard? That's your whole outfit done in one go! No thought required.

We love the thickness of this MP offering, which also comes in a taupe colour so you can live your best vanilla girl aesthetic.

We love a cropped top for yoga and this one is just long enough for those of us who don’t have abs we’re happy to show off, but short enough to keep your yoga ‘fit looking cute.

Slim fitting with a scoop round neck and mesh side panels, it’s great for yoga but would be equally as good for other exercise thanks to its lightweight sweat-wicking fabric. This one also comes in so many colours that after we tested it out, we bought it in two more.

Style and support? Yes, please! lululemon designed this sports bra specifically for yoga - and it shows. With super soft fabric, a keyhole back for airflow and even removable cups for increased (or reduced) support, lululemon nailed it with this one.

Ideal for those who don’t need major amounts of support, this comfortable bra with its adjustable and utilitarian-style T-bar strap looks great on all body types. Wear it under your yoga vest or alone in all its glory.

It also comes with removable pads for wearer’s preference. We’re keeping ours in as the shape is oh-so flattering.

Designed especially for yoga, this bra is super soft with adjustable straps, a pretty back and a carefully chosen calming colour palette (also available in light grey and green). Plus, there are matching leggings for a full set at a more affordable price. Perf.

Great for low-impact yoga like yin, this ribbed tank is loose, light and comfortable and the double-layered design with racerback detailing will add an injection of style to your asana. We recommend sizing down with this one if you prefer a tighter fit.

Flares are truly back in the fashion spotlight so why not introduce them to the yoga studio, too? The fabric of these yoga pants is super soft and light for ultimate comfort, but it’s still all business, as thick tight bodycon construction at the waist and thighs ensure practicality too – so you won’t be tempted to lounge on the sofa in them instead of doing your sun salutations.

They also have a side pocket for your phone but if you ask us, that’s better left outside the studio.
