Ever tried to euro step in running shoes? It’s not easy. Choosing great basketball shoes isn’t just about looking clean courtside. The best pairs give you grip, support, bounce, and confidence whether you’re on offence, defence, or just calling next. When it comes to improving your performance on the court, your play style is only part of the equation. Sure, you need to work on your handles, lock in your defence, and maybe stop pulling up for deep threes on a fast break. But the gear you choose makes a difference, too. The right pair of basketball shoes can: Support your movement Keep you on the court Boost your skills Whether you're playing in weekly rec leagues or just trying to hold your own at a casual game, having the right footwear can mean the difference between scoring big or riding the bench. Why Basketball Shoes Actually Matter Basketball is a game of bursts. You’re sprinting, stopping, cutting, jumping, landing, and doing it all again ten seconds later. Your shoes are your foundation. And not all sneakers are built for that kind of dynamic intensity. Unlike running shoes, which are made for forward motion, basketball shoes are built for chaos. The good kind. The kind that involves jab steps, crossovers, fast breaks, and launching your body skyward in ways your muscles might file complaints about later. Key features basketball shoes provide: Traction: Stay grounded during fast changes in direction Cushioning: Soften the impact from jumps and landings Support: Deliver ankle protection during aggressive movements That’s why adidas continues to push the boundaries of basketball shoe technology. From high-performance traction systems to lightweight, responsive midsoles, every adidas basketball shoe is engineered to elevate your game. The latest adidas AE 1 Low and Harden Vol. 9 feature cutting-edge materials that balance speed, control, and bounce, just like the pros need. How to Choose Basketball Shoes for Beginners New to the game? No sweat. Here’s how to make sense of your first basketball shoe purchase: Start with comfort: Look for pairs with ample cushioning and support, like the adidas Dame Certified, designed for all-around performance. Check fit and feel: Your shoes should feel secure without squeezing. Try the D.O.N. Issue 6, which offers a snug midfoot design with plenty of flex. Pick your surface: Indoor players may want lighter options with grippy outsoles; for outdoor runs, opt for durability like you’ll find in the adidas Son of Chi series. Whether you're just learning the ropes or getting serious about your weekly rec league, adidas has beginner-friendly basketball shoes that deliver on both comfort and performance. Find Your Fit Based on How You Play How do you choose basketball shoes based on your play style? Start by matching your needs to your position on the court. Are you a guard? If you're constantly changing direction, starting, and stopping, you need shoes that grip the hardwood like glue. Traction is your best friend. What you need: Lightweight, low-cut shoes to help you stay fast and flexible Multidirectional tread and moderate cushioning to keep your legs fresh without slowing you down Are you a big? If you're living in the paint, boxing out and crashing the boards, then you need high-top shoes with serious ankle support. What you need: Cushioned midsoles to absorb impact from all those monster rebounds you're pulling down Stability features that are key to owning the paint Are you a high flyer? If you're dunking on opponents, blocking shots, or just spending a lot of time in the air, bounce is everything. What you need: Responsive midsoles that return energy with each step Heel support to soften your landings A secure lockdown fit that will keep your foot in place on takeoff It’s All About The Fit How should basketball shoes feel? They should feel like they were made for you — snug but not tight, supportive but not stiff. Pro tips for finding the perfect fit: Try shoes on with your usual basketball socks Make sure your heel feels secure and your toes have space Break them in gently before your first real game And if your feet are a little wider than average, don’t force a tight fit. Look for shoes with flexible uppers, wider toe boxes, and lacing systems that let you dial in the perfect feel. Some models even come in wide specific sizing to keep your feet comfortable throughout the game. Sure, it’s tempting to grab the hottest collab or the flashiest colour combo just because it looks good on your feed. But unless your goal is to sit on the bench looking cool, comfort should always get the win. Good basketball shoes feel like they were made for you. Great ones feel like you forgot you were even wearing them. What the Pros Wear and What You Should Know What do pros wear? It depends on their style. Some rep their signature line, others wear trusted favourites that fit their needs. adidas athletes like James Harden and Anthony Edwards wear shoes designed for their unique styles of play, and those same models are available for anyone looking to level up their game. While running shoes might work in a pinch, they’re not built for the side-to-side movement, fast stops, and impacts basketball demands. Playing in the wrong shoes risks injury, fatigue, and poor performance. There’s no universal best basketball shoe — it depends on you: Guards need traction Bigs need support High flyers need bounce Wide feet need extra room The best basketball shoes are the ones that fit your body and enhance your style of play. Make Them Last: Basketball Shoe Care Tips Great shoes deserve great care. Keep your kicks in top form with these quick tips: Wipe soles after every game to maintain traction Avoid machine washing – hand-clean uppers with mild soap Store in a dry space to avoid material breakdown Rotate pairs if you play often to extend lifespan For more, check out our full guide to basketball shoe care. Time to Make Your Move Finding the best basketball shoes means knowing what your game needs. Ask yourself: Are you quick and shifty or powerful and physical? Do you fly or stay grounded and solid? Pick shoes that play like you do. Choosing the right basketball shoes isn’t complicated, but it does take some thought. You know your body, your game, and your goals. Now it’s about finding something that supports all three. adidas basketball shoes are built with performance-driven features that matter when the game’s on the line. We’ve been shaping the game for decades—you can read more about it here—and we’re just getting started, with innovations designed for what’s next. So, whether you’re dropping dimes, crashing the boards, or just trying to avoid fouling out in under ten minutes, the right pair of shoes can make all the difference. When your gear is dialed in, you get to focus on what matters most. Playing your game.

There’s no better feeling than unboxing a new pair of kicks. That fresh smell can fuel a sneakerhead’s dreams. But once they’re out of the box and on the street, anything can happen to your shoes, from scuffs, stains, spilled drinks, to general grit and grime. So how do you keep your sneakers in tip-top condition? Take a look at our step-by-step process to learn a few tricks of the trade. Scroll down for specifics on how to clean canvas or suede shoes, and how to clean shoes in the washing machine. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS When you’re learning how to clean trainers, follow these steps: STEP 1: GET PREPPED Once you have all your essentials gathered, it’s time to prep your shoe for cleaning. Put on your gloves and place your dirty shoes in your tray or on top of a towel. Begin removing the laces from your shoe. Once you remove the laces, place them in the bowl of bleach water. Spend a minute massaging the bleach into the laces. Place them to the side and let them soak. We will come back to them later. Using your soft bristle brush, begin knocking any loose dirt you see off the upper of your shoe. Use your toothbrush to get into smaller areas of your shoe. Once the upper has been dusted off, pick up your hard bristle brush and begin knocking dirt off the rubber outsole of your shoe. After you knock all the debris off your shoe, stuff your socks or shoe form into your shoe to help it keep its shape while getting cleaned. STEP 2: WASHING THE OUTSOLE The outsole is the part of the shoe that touches the ground when you walk. When learning how to clean shoes remember that you may need different tools to clean specific areas of your shoe. Use your hard bristle brush when cleaning the outsole. Pick up your hard bristle brush and wet it with some warm water. Then add some cleaning solution to the brush. Begin scrubbing the outsole. Let the grooves of this part of the shoe guide you as you clean it. You can pick up your dirt pick and use it to get into the hard-to-reach areas of the outsole. Wipe your shoe down with the microfiber cloth as you go. Once you feel like the outsole is clean, move on to the upper. STEP 3: WASHING THE UPPER The upper is the area of the shoe that covers the entire foot. Use your soft bristle brush to not wear away the material when cleaning this part of the shoe. Wet the soft bristle brush with clean warm water and apply some cleaning solution or dish soap to it. Begin scrubbing the upper area of the shoe. You want to take your time and scrub gently when cleaning the upper to keep the material in good condition. Spend extra time scrubbing away any deep stains or smudges. Use the toothbrush to target specific stains in harder-to-reach areas on your shoe. Use your microfiber towel to wipe away the dirt as you clean. STEP 4: WASHING THE LACES Your laces allow your trainers to fit snugly and securely—when clean—they are the cherry on top of a dazzling shoe. Pick up your laces and wring them out. You’ll see all the dirt is now in the bleach water and not in your laces. Lay a microfiber cloth on your tray or base towel and place your laces on top. Fold the towel over the laces and press down to squeeze any excess water out of the laces. STEP 5: LET THEM AIR DRY The final step in the shoe cleaning process is to let them dry! Place your laces near your shoes and let them air dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. This process can take a while, but when your shoes feel dry to the touch inside and out, they’re ready to wear again! SHOE CAM READY Whether you're a sneaker lover or someone new to the shoe world, understanding how to clean your trainers is the key to enhancing their wearability and longevity. When cleaning white shoes or any colour sneaker, release the need to be perfect. Lean into living in and wearing your sneakers and take solace in that fact that you now know how to properly clean them.

HOW TO FIND YOUR CORRECT BRA SIZE An ill-fitting sports bra is not only unhelpful, it’s uncomfortable.

Luckily, you don't need a tape measure to figure out your best fit. All you need is your regular bra and a mirror to check how your band and cups fit. Here's how to check if a sports bra fits correctly. First, see how the band fits. Your band is responsible for most of the support from your sports bra. If it feels snug but not tight, and sits level around your body, you are wearing the correct band size. If the band digs into your back, then it’s too tight and can leave marks. If the band rides up your back, then it’s too loose and isn’t providing enough support. Next, check your straps. Your straps should sit comfortably on your shoulder without slipping or digging in.

This helps you to squat lower and have more stability in big power lifts like the front squat, squat clean, squat snatch and more. POWERLIFT 5 Whatever you're lifting, these adidas weightlifting shoes ensure you do it in comfort.

Lightweight but tough, their canvas upper includes open-mesh inserts for added breathability. A combination of strap and laces secures the midfoot, and the midsole wedge provides rock-solid stability under heavy loads. Underneath, a rubber outsole grips the mat to keep you planted. ADIPOWER WEIGHTLIFTING 3 The ultimate platform for heavy lifting. With a 22 mm heel lift and a high-density midsole, the Adipower Weightlifting 3 helps to keep you stable under heavy loads. Its tough-as-nails canvas upper uses a lace-and-strap combo to keep you firmly locked in. The grippy, low-profile rubber outsole is specifically designed to plant your feet on the mat.  THE TOTAL Inspired by gym culture. Ideal for deadlifting. Designed with a ZERO heel lift, The Total weightlifting shoe helps to create the perfect low-to-the-ground stance favored by many deadlifters. The wide toe box also contributes to helping you find a stable stance. Displaying gym-inspired design details, the textile upper uses a strap and laces to keep you firmly locked in. CARING FOR YOUR GYM SHOES No matter which shoes fit your workout style, it’s important to take care of them to help them last longer. How often you replace your gym shoes depends on how often and how heavily you use them. If the heel, outsole or cushioning is wearing down, or if you’re feeling pain during or after wearing them, then it’s probably time to switch to a new pair.  If your shoes feel fine but are just a bit dirty, giving them a wash will liven them back up. Read more of our articles to learn how to wash your gym shoes; and how to lace them back up.

You gotta know how to lace sneakers by finding a style that fits you and your shoes. Take a moment before bringing those fresh kicks to the street so you’re looking good from head-to-toe. Each and every detail matters when you’re trying to dominate the streetstyle game. One way to step up your look is to make those laces pop. Here you’ll find six creative ways to lace up your sneakers. Some offer a functional approach, some more stylish. But all of them offer a chance for you to express your individuality and creator spirit. Letting your shoes speak to your style wherever you’re headed. LACING INSTRUCTIONS When you’re learning how to lace sneakers, follow these steps: Straight Lacing: This style is also called “fashion lacing” or “street lacing” since it’s casual, clean and cool. The loose lacing style gives your foot room to breathe so you can put swagger in your step. Step #1 Start with an equal amount of lace on each side of the bottom eyelet. Step #2 Left lace goes straight up the inside of the shoe to the second eyelet, then straight across. Step #3 Right lace goes straight up the inside of the shoe to the third eyelet, then straight across. Step #4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3, alternating between the right and left laces skipping their respective eyelets inside the shoe before running straight across to the next eyelet. Continue this pattern until complete and finish with a regular knot. Ladder Lacing: This unmistakable design weaves laces together horizontally across the top of the shoe and vertically around each eyelet to create a “ladder.” The look always attracts attention for its unique and distinctive style, one originally created for military boots worn by ceremonial guards. As such, when shoes have lots of eyelets like Stan Smith’s, then it’s highly effective at keeping your shoes tied throughout the entire day. Step #1 Lace straight across through the bottom eyelets. Make sure you have an equal amount of lace remaining on the left and right sides. Step #2 Run each lace into the second eyelet directly above by going straight up the outside of the shoe. Step #3 Now, feed each lace straight across to the opposite side, then wrap it under the lace and the second eyelet (but not through the eyelet), before continuing up to the next eyelet directly above. Step #4 Repeat the same process. Sending the laces straight across, under the adjacent lace and eyelet, before stringing it up to the next open eyelet until you’re finished. Step #5 Take the laces back across and under a final time for a consistent look before tying a bow knot. Spider Web Lacing: This is the show stopper. The Spider Web is a detailed and intricate lacing technique to stand out on the streets and start turning heads. The impressive style weaves an elaborate web with laces going back and forth across the top of the shoe, so follow the steps closely. It’s as complex as it is cool. Step #1 Begin by lacing straight across the second-from-the-bottom eyelets and make sure each end is even. Step #2 Slip each end down the outside of the shoe to the first, bottom eyelet. Step #3 Take each lace diagonally across the shoe, creating an “X” as the laces move into the third eyelets. Step #4 Now, take each lace straight back down, wrapping under the lace and eyelet directly below (not through the eyelet). Then take the laces up, diagonally crossing into the next open eyelet. In this case, it should be the fourth. Step #5 Repeat Step 4 until you’ve reached the top eyelets and tied your preferred knot. Note: This style looks best when shoes have many eyelets to create a more intricate weave and when the sides of the shoe are further apart, displaying more of the shoelace web. Bow Tie Lacing: If you want to rock a lacing style that’s more minimalistic, then Bow Tie lacing is the way to go. It hides the laces by running them up the inside of the shoe vertically before crossing them over on the outside to form a simple “bow-ties.” Creating a loose fit that’s comfortable, casual and stylish. 100%. Note:The method changes depending on the number of eyelets your shoes have and you might want shorter shoelaces because Bow Tie lacing doesn’t require much. Step 1 - Even Number of Eyelets Take the lace straight across and through the bottom eyelets on the outside of the shoe. Step 1 – Odd Number of Eyelets Take the lace straight across and through the bottom eyelets on the outside of the shoe. Step 2 – Even Number of Eyelets Slide the laces up to the second eyelet on the inside of the shoe, then across diagonally into the third eyelets. Making an “X” shape. Step 2 – Odd Number of Eyelets Thread the right and left laces across each other diagonally into the second eyelets. Creating an “X” on the top of the shoe. Step 3 String the laces through the inside of the shoe to the open eyelet directly above, before crossing the laces diagonally on the outside of the shoe into the next available eyelet. Step 4 Continue the pattern until you’ve reached the top of the shoe. Tie knot. Loop-Back Lacing: When you’re rocking Loop-Back Lacing, fancy footwork takes on a whole new meaning. This decorative style loops the laces together straight down the middle of the shoe. It’s the opposite approach of traditional crisscross lacing patterns. To really make the style pop, try thick, round and colorful laces that contrast with the color of the shoe (for example: white laces on black shoes). Step #1 First thing first, take the lace directly across the bottom eyelets – leaving the left and right laces equal in length. Step #2 Now you’re going to take each lace diagonally across the shoe, wrap them around each other in the middle and string them back through the inside of the next open eyelet. Note: Laces should loop in the middle, and the left and right laces should always return to the same side. Step #3 Repeat Step 2 for each eyelet by continuing to loop the left and right laces together in the middle of the shoe and back through the next open eyelet. Step #4 Once the laces have reached the top of the shoe, tie your preferred knot. Missing Laces: Show your true creator spirit with this imaginative and original lacing technique. What makes this one so different? The laces are hidden, taking the shortest path through the eyelets along the inside of the shoe and making it appear as if your shoes are missing laces. The novelty style creates an incredibly loose fit that’s perfect for kicking it with your crew. Just don’t plan on busting a move on the dance floor. Step #1 Begin by threading the lace straight across the bottom eyelets. Leave an equal amount of lace on the left and right sides. Step #2 Take each lace straight up into the eyelet above and continue stringing the laces through the eyelet above, alternating in and out but never crossing over the middle. Step #3 Once you reach the top of the shoe, tie it in a bow and tuck the bow behind the tongue. Note: Shorter shoelaces are recommended or you’ll need to tuck the extra lace material inside the shoe.

How to style white trainers: comfort and style Looking good should also feel good. When you feel comfortable, you feel confident, and when you’re feeling confident your style shines the brightest. And white trainers give you that feeling with any outfit because they’re just so versatile. A pair of white trainers are like a blank canvas to get your outfit started. It’s a durable everyday shoe and styling tool for whatever occasion you’re dressing for. No matter your personal preferences or preferred aesthetic, everyone should have a reliable pair of white trainers to go with any outfit. There is nothing quite like a pair of white trainers — they truly are versatile and can be worn with any outfit, whether you're in the mood to throw on a dress or are all about the classic T-shirt and jeans combination. But what are the best ways to wear them? Let’s get into it, with some advice from our VP of Apparel Design, Josefine Aberg. "I’d say I’ve walked countless miles in white trainers while traveling, out in the city or even more dressed up." – Josefine Aberg Make a colorful splash – or don’t! While comfort is definitely key in trainers, white trainers, specifically, offer the most diverse and adaptable styling options. It’s easy to answer the question, “what colors go well with white trainers,” because it’s all of them. If you like to wear a hint of contrast colors or prints to break up a singular color palette, you pair it with white trainers and you are good to head out the door. If your outfit consists of a bold accessory or print that's meant to be the focal point, white trainers keep your overall outfit neutral and it will let the most colorful or loud print be the highlight of your look. Dress up, or down You may be wondering, “can you wear white trainers with a dress?” That’s a definite yes. And once you try it, it’ll be hard to return to high heels, or even gladiator sandals. White trainers easily pair with jeans or tailored pants and a blazer for a more professional look, while still working with sundresses and shorts for a lighter look. "For me, the limit does not exist when it comes to the countless white sneaker outfits you can put together. With a quick skim of your wardrobe, you’ll find there aren’t very many items that won’t work with them." - Josefine Aberg Do you wear socks with white trainers? Definitely. In fact, socks alone can be the accent piece that brings your whole look together. First of all, you need to know what occasion you’re dressing for. This will change what color socks you should wear, as well as what type of socks you should wear. White socks are often the look for the gym when they’re low, but can easily become the focal point of your outfit with height. Try white tube socks with dirty white trainers to add a vintage flair to your outfit. With higher socks, you have more space to play. Try going more bold and attention-grabbing by wearing bright, colorful knee-high socks to draw attention to those comfy white trainers. This is an easy way to make an otherwise neutral-colored outfit stand out. How do you style jeans with white trainers? While we often like to style our trainers with sportswear, what's more classic than the combination of a pair of blue jeans and a white tee? It’s simple and lax, and it works with all proportions. Like skinny jeans and a tucked-in oversized T-shirt, or baggy jeans and a cropped fitting top, or a classic fit and tee – all can look very put together. What is the best time of year to wear white trainers? “To me, white trainers are to spring and summer what boots are to fall and winter: both are staples you can style with everything and anything, and fit within the overall aesthetic of these specific seasons.” – Josefine Aberg Your white trainers can take you from on-the-go in the sunny daytime to a night out on the town, and everywhere in between. No matter what your spring and summer plans are, your white trainers will take you there. Your new go-to No matter what your personal style is, a pair of white trainers should be classified as a wardrobe requirement. Whether you're going for a timeless sneaker style or a little more of a modern look, white trainers are the easiest way to elevate your athleisure look. Be it a pair of jeans and graphic tee, matching sports bra and leggings set, shorts and sweats or a dress, there are so many ways to make white trainers look good while expressing your own personal style. So now when someone asks, “how do I style my white trainers?” you can say, “however you feel.”

Before you leave the sidewalk behind, make sure your sneakers are up for the journey. The key difference between running and trail running shoes is the type of running terrain they’re designed for. Imagine running on the road: For the most part, you can run in a straight line on an even surface for miles and miles. Now imagine hitting the trails: You’ll run into switchbacks, rocks, slopes, puddles, roots—the list goes on. Trail running shoes combine the lightweight flexibility of running sneakers with the high traction and sturdy design of hiking shoes. From the bottom up, here’s what to look for in a pair of trail running shoes: Rugged outsoles: For increased traction on gravel or dirt, trail running shoes tend to have thicker outsoles than regular running sneakers. Firm midsoles: Rather than cushion your feet against long stretches on asphalt, trail running shoes offer more support and stability on softer surfaces, which is why they tend to have firmer, less cushioned midsoles than road shoes. Protective uppers: Trail running shoes are built to protect your feet from weather, dirt and flying debris. Their uppers are generally sturdy and protective, not thin or mesh-like. For extreme conditions, some trail running shoes are insulated or waterproof. TRAIL RUNNING SHOES OR ROAD SHOES: WHAT’S YOUR RUNNING STYLE? So which running shoe is the right one for you? It all depends on the conditions where you’re running and what you need from your footwear. Trail Explorers When you need stability: With firmer midsoles and thicker outsoles than road sneakers, trail runners are designed to perform on rocky, uneven ground. When it’s cold and wet: Are you an all-weather runner? You’ll appreciate the extra traction when you’re running in snowy, icy, or slick conditions. For extra protection from the elements, look for trail running shoes insulated with GORE-TEX. When you need traction: Running on mud, dirt or gravel? Opt for trail running shoes with rugged textured soles so you can stay on track. When you need protection: Trail running sneakers have sturdy uppers to protect your feet from flying gravel, twigs or rocks. Road Warriors When you want to run fast: If speed is your goal, road shoes tend to be lighter than trail running sneakers. When the temperature rises: Running sneakers for the road usually have thin, breathable uppers, offering more circulation when the weather is hot and muggy. Intervals, sprints or tempo runs: For maximum agility while practicing sprints or interval training, road shoes are usually your best bet. When you rule the asphalt: Designed for the road, the flexibility and cushioning of running sneakers protects your feet if you run exclusively on paved surfaces. CHOOSING A PAIR OF TRAIL RUNNING SHOES Here’s what to look for in trail running shoes, so you can choose the pair that’s right for your personal running style: All-Terrain Adventurers: For runners who like to go back-and-forth from pavement to trail running, try a lighter-weight trail shoe like these Terrex Agravic Flow sneakers. Rainy-Day Runners: For the wettest, coldest trail runs, look for trail running shoes insulated with Gore-tex like these. Going the Distance: Looking for a trail shoe that’s still comfortable miles (and miles) later? Try Terrex Two Ultra Parley Trail Running Shoes, made to stay supportive and stable for the longest trail runs.

TRAIL RUNNING SHOES VS RUNNING SHOES: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

What To Wear to Yoga Yoga is all about the mind and body connection. One of the best ways to feel confident and glide right into your yoga practice is to be in the right apparel. Flexibility, breathability, and comfort are your big three when figuring out what to wear to yoga. The proper yoga attire will allow you to be present and fully immerse yourself in the yogi lifestyle. Before you bend into downward dog, check out our recommendations for what to wear to your next yoga class. Yoga Tops For most classes, you will find comfort in a fitted top. The last thing you want is your shirt hanging over your head as you’re inverted. A fitted top can provide sleek support and stay put as you flow. Choose a sweat-wicking yoga top and stay away from itchy tags and seams that chafe under your armpits. Go for a top that is breathable and flexible. There are several styles to choose from: yoga crop tops, short sleeves, or tank tops. Yoga Sports Bra A supportive bra is the friend you’ll need when dressing for yoga. Always go for a bra that is comfortable and fits well. You want good coverage so that you feel secure and supported, no matter what type of yoga you’re doing. Wear a sports bra without fastenings to avoid anything digging into your back. Check out the adidas Studio bras, designed specifically for a flexible flow. If you need help figuring out how your sports bra should fit, then read our guide. Yoga Leotard Whoever said workout attire and style can’t commingle? The Yoga Leo turns heads and empowers yogis to look and feel their best when practicing. Your leotard should fit like a glove—an extremely comfortable and breathable one-piece that moves and flexes with you. Unlike pants and a top, most yoga onesies don’t have waistbands, allowing your mid-section to breathe and bend without feeling constricted. Be mindful of your leotard’s strap thickness—thicker straps will be less likely to slip off your shoulder when moving around. Yoga Pants Your yoga bottoms—whether they are pants or leggings—need to be as flexible as you. You don’t ever want to feel restricted by your clothes during yoga. Consider investing in high-waisted yoga bottoms if you want full coverage while bending and stretching. High-waisted yoga tights are less likely to slip down during fast practices or inverted poses. Nylon-polyester spandex blends are amazing when purchasing yoga leggings. They move with you through postures and wick away moisture. Looser fitting sweatpants are a viable option for slower-paced classes, such as yin or restorative yoga, where you want to be cozy and comfy. However, they can be too warm and less supportive in faster power yoga classes. Make sure to avoid thin or see-through yoga bottoms. Yoga Shorts Yoga shorts can be preferable during the hotter months or while practicing hot yoga. Like yoga pants and leggings, avoid yoga shorts that are too thin, lose or see through. Consider yoga shorts with built-in liners for added comfort and coverage during a super bendy practice. Like every essential yoga piece, make sure your shorts are made of quality, absorbent fabric. The absorbent feature allows you to feel dry and comfortable no matter how intense your practice is. Longer form-fitting bike shorts usually allow more comfort and coverage and are less likely to ride up than a loose or short pair. Yoga Jacket or Hoodie Although you might not need it during your practice a yoga jacket or hoodie is nice to have, especially if you get cold fast. It may also come in handy if you need to run errands before or after class and it’s cold out. A loose fit may be more comfortable, especially over sweaty clothes. Yoga Class Accessories Few accessories are required in the world of yoga. However, here are a few things you can bring to your next yoga class to make your experience more enjoyable. While you may be able to rent a mat at your studio, having your own is also an option. When buying a mat, pick a length and thickness that works for you. Always have a headband or hair tie, so your hair isn’t falling in your face. Remember, no matter how fast or slow your yoga class is, hydration is essential, so always bring your water bottle. Lastly, consider purchasing a yoga towel to bring to class if you sweat a lot. Creating the look: Yoga Class Outfit Now that you know what to wear to yoga class, go forth and prosper! Have fun. Be creative. Be colorful or simple! Your body, your choice. Wear whatever makes you feel confident and comfortable. You got this yogi. Shop adidas for all the styles, including our new yoga collection made in part with recycled ocean plastic.
