These Are the Pieces Every Pilates Princess Needs in Her Closet

2 min readSCROLL THROUGH TIKTOK for more than a few seconds, and chances are you’ll spot at least one “Pilates princess” in your feed. From creators documenting their early-morning reformer classes to influencers like Alix Earle sharing impeccably styled matching sets, the aesthetic has become one of social media’s biggest activewear trends—and basically set the blueprint for casual-chic athleisure.But beyond slick buns and matcha runs, it’s also inspiring more people to give Pilates a try. Whether you’re heading to your first class or you’re already a regular, building a wardrobe of quality staples can help you feel comfortable and confident while you move (and look just as polished after your sweat sesh). Think buttery matching sets and polished layers from editor-fave brands like Athleta, lululemon, Beyond Yoga, and Crz Yoga.The best part? Unlike many TikTok aesthetics that come and go, this one is built on timeless pieces and workout clothes you'll wear for years. A supportive sports bra, flattering leggings, a lightweight zip-up, crisp white socks, sleek sneakers, and an oversized tote bag are the staples that earn their place in your closet because they work far beyond the studio.As someone who tests activewear for a living, I've found that creating the Pilates princess look has less to do with logos and more to do with choosing high-quality basics that fit well, feel great, and layer effortlessly. Ahead, the wardrobe essentials worth investing in—whether you're headed to reformer class or just want your everyday athleisure to look a little more luxe.Shop BrasAthleta Transcend Scoop Neck Sports BraNow 30% OffCredit: AthletaCrz Yoga Naked Feeling Longline Sports BraBeyond Yoga Seamless Moves Layered BraVuori Pointelle Seamless V Neck BraShop LeggingsCrz Yoga No Front Seam LeggingAthleta Elation Track Stripe CropNow 22% OffCredit: AthletaAthleta Transcend Stirrup LeggingCredit: Athleta437 The V LeggingShop TopsAthleta Transcend Wrap Crop TopNow 20% OffCredit: Athleta437 The Ballet Tanklululemon Wundermost Nulu Scoop-Back Thong BodysuitNow 65% OffCredit: lululemonAlo Airbrush Sparks Fly Corset TankShop ShortsAthleta Airy Cotton Terry Snow Wash CapriCredit: AthletaBeyond Yoga Spacedye Layered 3" ShortAlo Match Point ShortCredit: AloThe Gym People High Waist Yoga ShortsNow 15% OffShop SkirtsBeyond Yoga Flounce This Way SkirtCredit: Beyond Yogalululemon Groove Foldover Mid-Rise Mini SkirtCredit: lululemonCrz Yoga Butterluxe High Waisted SkirtVuori Baseline Gingham SkirtShop JacketsAthleta Seasoft Rib 1/4 Zip PopoverNow 54% OffCredit: Athletalululemon Nulu Cropped Define JacketCredit: lululemonCrz Yoga Butterluxe JacketVuori AllTheFeels Full ZipShop More of Our Favorite StylesCapsule Wardrobe Essentials | How to Style Activewear | Best Workout Tops | Best Hiking Clothes | Best Workout Clothes for Women | Best Slides for Women | Best Hiking Shoes for Women | Best Sweatpants | Best Hoodies | Best White Sneakers | Best Walking Shoes for Women | Best Leggings | Best Flare Leggings | Best Lounge Pants For Women | Best Running Hats | Best Gym BagsShannen Zitz is the Associate Style & Reviews Editor at Women's Health, where she covers all-things sneakers and activewear.
