Yoga isn’t just for women; men have just as much to gain. Here are the best yoga clothes for men that you can wear to your next flow session.
You finally set aside some time to unwind with a little yoga.
The only problem? Your pants had other plans.
Dealing with ripped pants and a constricting shirt just isn’t relaxing, no matter how you frame it.
The best men’s yoga clothes don’t get in the way. They complement your stretches, twists, and turns.
It can be tough to find yoga clothes for men that fit well, provide the freedom of movement you’re after, and look good doing it.
That’s exactly why I’ve curated this list of the best yoga clothes for men so you can slip right into dolphin pose, no questions asked.
Best Men’s Yoga Brands
Some brands stand out from the rest for their comfort, range of motion, and style. Here are the crème de la crème:
Beyond Yoga: For Everyday Men’s Yoga Gear
Beyond Yoga is all about making activewear for every size, shape, and activity. Top of the list is, you guessed it, yoga.
And thankfully, this brand didn’t leave us dudes out to dry like so many others do. It has a diverse catalog for men, spanning sleeveless tanks to silky smooth joggers and hoodies.
Featherweight Always Beyond Men’s Crew Tee
You can’t go wrong with a simple, well-fitting crew t-shirt. Beyond Yoga’s Featherweight Always Beyond Men’s Crew Tee is light, breathable, and relaxed. Everything you could ask for while doing yoga.
Plus, it comes in a wide variety of colors; some are seasonal, so make sure to grab what you like before it’s gone!
It’s made out of Beyond Yoga’s Featherweight Spacedye fabric, which is composed of 94% polyester and 6% spandex. This makes it stretchable, moisture-wicking, and soft to the touch.
Spacedye Freefit Easy Men’s Jogger 2.0
What about a pair of cozy joggers for your winter yoga sessions? Beyond Yoga has you covered there, too.
The Spacedye Freefit Easy Men’s Jogger 2.0 is perfect for working up a sweat in hot yoga or for a casual stretching sesh. If you need to keep your phone or keys on you while you work out, you’ll appreciate the mesh pocket bags and mini zipper pockets that keep everything snug and secure.
Your legs will also thank you for adorning them in Beyond Yoga’s Spacedye fabric, made from a majority polyester with a dash of elastane thrown in for a phenomenal range of motion and extra soft feel.
Spacedye Freefit Easy Men’s Short 2.0
If shorts are more your style, the Spacedye Freefit Easy Men’s Short 2.0 gives you all the benefits of their jogger counterparts with an extra oomph of breathability.
They’re soft to the touch, machine washable, and give you a great place to keep your belongings with mini zipper pockets and mesh pocket bags.
Free fit Men’s Zip Hoodie
Should a little cold stop you from rolling out the yoga mat? Beyond Yoga doesn’t think so; its Freefit Men’s Zip Hoodie is the perfect thickness to keep you warm without drenching you in sweat from your first downward dog.
Just like the Freefit joggers and shorts, the hoodie is made from a polyester and elastane combo that keeps you moving the way you want to. Plus, since it’s a zip-up, it’s easy to strip off once you warm up.
Or, keep it on the whole time and enjoy the freedom of movement you would normally never get from a jacket.
Vuori: Cool, Comfortable Activewear
The California lifestyle. Surf. Sport. Yoga.
That’s what Vuori encompasses with its brand. Its activewear is ready to move with you wherever, whenever.
Banks Short
Vuori’s VCycled fabric is made from 44% recycled polyester (made from four to five plastic bottles), 44% polyester, and 12% elastane. Not only do you get to look good in a comfortable pair of shorts for yoga, you help clean up the planet while doing it.
That little bit of elastane really adds some stretch and give to the shorts, which helps you avoid split seam mishaps during your yoga sessions.
And that’s not to mention the quick-drying and anti-odor properties you get here. For a pair of breathable, stretchy, stylish shorts, you can’t go wrong with Vuori’s Banks Shorts.
Strato Tech Tee
One of the most important aspects of a shirt for yoga is preserving your range of motion. A stuffy cotton shirt just won’t cut it.
Vuori’s Strato Tech Tee is predominantly polyester with a 4% elastane boost, giving you the freedom you need to bend, stretch, and zen.
If you’re after comfort, Vuori says the Strato Tech Tee is the “softest piece of workout apparel on the planet.” It’s also moisture-wicking to ward off sweat and keep you cool during your yoga session.
It comes in a wide variety of colors, too, so you can grab a couple and switch them out for a few sessions per week.
Limitless Compression Short
Here’s one for men who aren’t insecure about their manhood.
For the ultimate freedom of movement paired with snug support, the Limitless Compression Short is an excellent go-to.
You even get a “hidden” zipper pocket in the back to carry your belongings to and from the session.
The elastic waistband gives you the form-fitting security to move the way you need to, and the flatlock seams are great for a chafe-free workout. That alone is worth its weight in gold.
Following a common theme, these compression shorts are moisture-wicking and breathable, which are key features of the best men’s yoga clothing.
Lululemon: The King of Men’s Yoga Brands
When it comes to yoga gear, Lululemon instantly comes to mind. And for good reason. You’d be hard-pressed to find more comfortable, functional yoga gear.
Balancer Tank Top
Going sleeveless? Lululemon’s Balancer Tank Top is freedom in a garment.
Not only is it designed with the active movements of yoga in mind, but it’s also made for a premium feel against your skin. It’s incredibly soft, naturally breathable, and made with extra room in the chest and down towards your waist.
There are also little side slits at the hem, which might not sound like much but go a long way in adding mobility to your workouts.
Lululemon sets itself apart from most yoga wear for men because of its fabric makeup. Rather than polyester, Lululemon’s Balancer Tank Top is made of 75% Lenzing modal, 19% silk, and the usual 6% dash of elastane. This blend provides a softness and freedom you have to feel to believe.
And it’s safe to throw in the washing machine using cold water right after your workout.
Steady State Short 5″
Pair that Balancer Tank Top with a pair of Steady State Short 5”, and you have the perfect Lululemon yoga fit.
They’re naturally breathable with some extra room in the glutes and thighs, which I don’t have to tell you is paramount for stretching and twisting.
These shorts are made of an airy cotton, polyester, and elastane blend that’ll keep you comfortable from the start of your session to the end. Plus, at a five-inch length, they stay out of your way and let your yoga do the talking.
You can also wear the waistband drawcord inside or outside the shorts, which is a nifty addition to your style.
Nulu Yoga Tight 27″
No Lululemon roundup would be complete without its renowned yoga tights. The Nulu Yoga Tight 27” is everything you want from a supportive, sleek pair of ultra-soft tights.
They’re sweat-wicking, weightlessly soft and smooth, form-fitting, and just as stretchy as you.
The Nulu Yoga Tights also feature an ergonomic pouch to keep your groin comfortable, well-supported, and pinch-free. Need I say more?
There just isn’t a softer blend of nylon and elastane on the market. Lululemon has yoga tights on lock.
Stretch Cupro Pants 26″
On the other leg, if you’re not into tights but want something more than shorts for the cold weather, check out Lululemon’s Stretch Cupro Pants 26”.
These nylon, cupro, and elastane pants are perfect for going from the grocery store to the yoga studio without missing a beat. I chose to feature them for their versatility and roomy fit, but I think you’ll be impressed with their comfort and stretch, too.
Lululemon knows where to give you some extra room to maneuver: the glutes and thighs. That’s exactly where you’ll find more give in these stretchy men’s yoga pants.
Gymshark: A Powerful Newcomer
Gymshark, founded in 2012, is fairly new to the activewear scene. Even still, it quickly established itself as a comfort and style powerhouse.
That’s not just for lifting, either. Yoga benefits just as much from the same stretch and support this brand offers.
Hybrid Boxer
Men’s yoga gear is usually a breathable pair of shorts or tights, a variety of shirts or tanktops, and maybe some outerwear to boot. Underwear is criminally neglected.
That’s where the Hybrid Boxer from Gymshark comes in. These compression-short-esque boxer briefs are perfect undergarments to accompany your shorts or joggers. They’re soft and stretchy, sweat-wicking to keep you dry, and supportive in all the right places.
Essential Oversized T-Shirt
If you want to cover up and still have the room to maneuver between poses, an oversized shirt is an easy solution.
Gymshark’s Essential Oversized T-Shirt is the best in the game, offering a blend of breathable cotton and stretchy elastane, you won’t want to take it off. And for the quality it offers, you can’t beat that price tag.
Conclusion: Be Flexy in Style
Yoga is tough, but dressing for it doesn’t have to be. Hopefully, you’ve found something in today’s roundup for you!
