And Breathe: Liberty’s Guide on What to Wear to Yoga
Are yoga classes part of your new stress-reducing, health-boosting initiative? If so, here’s what to wear
By: George ElliotSo you’ve vowed to take up yoga? When it comes to this mind-enhancing, body-stretching promise, your outfit can either help or hinder your meditative state, so requires careful consideration. That’s where this handy Liberty guide comes in. Featuring the five fundamentals every budding yogi needs, your path to a boosted mind, body and soul starts here…
The Leggings for Loosening Up
Bending into ‘downward facing dog’ from ‘cobra’ is, well, a bit of a stretch, so getting a pair of leggings that aid your flexibility like Totême's Zip Leggings, £150 should be first on your to-do list. Developed with both comfort and movement in mind, their figure-hugging fit is designed to be supportive and flattering. For added coolness, look to a pair of easy-going shorts, like A.P.C.'s Beth Liberty Print Shorts, £125 – the perfect pair for maximalists on the move.

The Top of the Class
Your tops should be silhouette-shaping too; anything baggy will either ride up when you’re extending your arms or fall down awkwardly around your neck when arched over. To avoid such frustrations and to keep your zen state intact, look to Puma x Liberty's Graphic T-Shirt, £45 with its relaxed yet form-following design. Yoga might look serene, but its positions make most break a sweat - especially in ‘hot yoga’ classes. Cut for extra ventilation, Loewe's 90s-style Cropped Cotton Anagram Top, £425 will keep you cool, calm and collected.

The Extra Layer
Signed up for studio-based classes? Maybe you fancy alfresco yoga in the great outdoors instead? Either way, it's hard to predict British summertime weather so it’s worth having an extra, chill-cancelling layer to slip into if needs be. Loewe's Anagram Intarsia Jumper, £895 will help keep any breeze at bay and with its logo decked design, it’ll keep style seekers on trend with logomania too. You’ll also need to get to and from the session, which is easier said than done if there's drizzle outside. Made from technical, water-resistant nylon and featuring an adjustable drawstring waistband, Moncler's Veirade Parka Coat, £800 will have you covered.

The Helpful Hair Accessories
Hair Accessories may be smaller but they play a big role; the last thing you want to be doing is fumbling around trying to keep a piece of hair out of your face while the class changes position without you. Enter: Missoni'sTwist Rainbow Zig-Zag Head Band, £!90. This crochet hair wrap will lock in your locks nicely. To further fix in place any unruly strands, opt for Tort's Zadi Hair Clips Set of Two, £50. With 90s fashion trends back in fashion’s favour, they’ll earn you style kudos too.

The-Bigger-the-Better Bags
Last up: a bag that’s big enough for your non-sartorial essentials (think: mat, water bottle, yoga strap and brick). Liberty’s spacious Little Ditsy Primrose Tote Bag, £295 is fit for purpose and doubles up as a rather elegant work bag. If you’re more of a minimalist, forget the little black bag and instead get yourself a BBB (a big black bag) instead. Complete with a detachable shoulder strap and a side mesh pocket (ideal for a water bottle), the Eastpak x Telfar Large Shopper, £200 comes highly recommended.
