OMG, can we talk about the Pilates wardrobe struggle?
I swear I’ve spent more time figuring out what to wear to class than actually doing the hundred!
After countless outfit fails (hello, leggings that slide down during every teaser), I’ve finally cracked the code on pieces that are both cute AND functional.
Trust me, with these outfit ideas, you’ll be the most stylish person on the reformer—and nothing’s getting in the way of your core gains!
1. When in doubt, monotone
I’m absolutely obsessed with matching sets right now!
I just grabbed this buttery-soft gray set that makes me feel like I’ve got my life together even when I’m shaking through plank holds.
The high-waist leggings stay put no matter how much I move, and the matching sports bra is supportive without suffocating me.
The best part?
When class is over, I throw on my oversized denim jacket and can head straight to coffee with friends.
No one even knows I just spent an hour working my core to death! Seriously, a good monotone set is basically a personality trait at this point.
2. Cute Pilates Hairstyle
Can we talk about how annoying it is when hair keeps falling in your face during roll-downs?
I’ve started doing these super cute braids that actually stay put the entire class.
Last week I did two Dutch braids with these tiny colorful clips and got so many compliments!
When I’m feeling lazy, I’ll just twist the front pieces back and secure them with those tiny claw clips.
You know, the butterfly ones we all had in middle school that are somehow cool again?
It keeps everything out of my face and looks like I actually tried, even though it took all of 30 seconds!
3. Cute knit set for Pilates
I recently splurged on this ribbed knit hoodie and pants set and I’m not even sorry about it!
It’s like wearing a hug to class but still looks put-together.
The fabric is this amazing breathable knit that stretches in every direction but bounces right back to shape.
The cropped hoodie hits at just the right spot so it doesn’t bunch up during bridges, and the pants have this super flattering high waist that doesn’t dig in when I’m doing roll-ups.
I got mine in this gorgeous oatmeal color, but honestly, I’m thinking about getting the sage green too.
Is it excessive to have multiple? Don’t answer that—I already know I need them all!

❤️For my baddies who wanna spoil themselves: ❤️
It’s almost Christmas (in two months!!)…for the baddies who wanna spoil themselves but don’t wanna break the bank… check out the bags babies below❤️
From my backend data, almost every 3 days someone from LTK and my email list will buy these two bags lol (Different sizes - some prefer mini some prefer the normal).
It's always so fun see from data to know what you girls prefer!
6. Wrap the cardigan over shoulder
Okay, hear me out on this one.
I started wearing a lightweight cardigan wrapped around my shoulders with just a sports bra underneath, and it’s become my signature Pilates look!
I’ll wear a supportive sports bra (usually in a fun color), then drape this super soft, thin cardigan that ties in front.
The genius part is that I can easily untie it once I’m warmed up, and it gives just enough coverage when I’m not feeling the whole “sports bra as a top” vibe.
My instructor even asked where I got the idea!
It’s perfect for those studios that blast the AC, and I feel like I’m channeling some ballet dancer energy. Plus, it makes the transition from “workout mode” to “grabbing a smoothie” mode so effortless.
Total game-changer!
7. Two -tone Pilates princess fit
Navy blue leggings and sports bra set paired with a bright red baseball cap and matching Adidas Gazelle!
Perfect for bad hair days, and those red accents make even basic navy look intentional. I swear I work harder when my outfit has this much personality!
8. Cute socks x leggings
9. Bolero sweater for a lowkey sassy look

10. Grip socks for Pilates class
I finally invested in proper grip socks and honestly, my Pilates game changed overnight!
The little sticky dots on the bottom give me so much more stability on the reformer, especially during footwork when I used to slide all over the place.
I’ve started collecting them in fun patterns and colors to match my outfits because if I’m going to spend half my class staring at my feet in tabletop, they might as well look cute!
FINAL THOUGHTS:
At the end of the day, what you wear to Pilates should make you feel confident and ready to tackle those challenging moves!
I’ve found that when I love my outfit, I’m actually excited to get to class (even for those 6 AM sessions—yes, I’m that person now).
Remember, comfort is key, but that doesn’t mean sacrificing style. Whether you go for sleek and minimal or bright and bold, wear what makes you feel like the Pilates princess you are!
