Pilates fashion is hotter than the actual workout: Serve these looks at your next session
Are you ready to update your workout wardrobe? Check out this ultimate guide to Pilates trending workout wear that's as sleek as the moves you're mastering.
1. Second-skin leggings with a grip on style
Forget baggy pants, Pilates is all about precision and movement. High-waisted, full-length leggings that hug like a second skin are trending hard. Look for buttery-soft fabrics with four-way stretch and a no-slip waistband so you can roll, twist, and plank without adjustments.
2. Matching sets = Instant confidence boost
Pilates girlies know: a coordinated sports bra and legging set = instant main character energy. Think neutral tones like sage, taupe, or blush, or go bold with lilac and cobalt blue. Matching sets photograph beautifully (hello, post-class mirror selfie).
3. Sports bras with low-impact support
Since Pilates isn't high-impact, you don't need a max-support bra. Instead, choose strappy, cross-back sports bras that give light-to-medium support and double as a crop top. Style and comfort in one stretchy package.
4. Grip socks that mean business
Pilates without grip socks? Impossible. They keep you steady on the reformer and stop you from sliding off the mat mid-roll-up. The trend now? Pastel shades, mesh detailing, and even socks with cheeky motivational quotes.
5. Cropped tanks and wrap tops
Layering is big in Pilates fashion. Cropped tanks or tie-up wrap tops worn over sports bras give that ballerina-meets-athlete vibe. Lightweight and breathable, they're perfect for the warm-up and cool-down phases.
6. Breathable fabrics only, please
Pilates wear is all about fabrics that work with you. Opt for sweat-wicking, quick-dry materials that keep you fresh through those endless leg circles. Avoid cotton as it'll stick to you in all the wrong places.
7. Neutral palettes with pops of colour
Minimalist chic is the Pilates aesthetic. Think greys, whites, creams, and soft pastels, with a pop of neon or bold print in accessories. It's all about calm energy with a fashionable twist.
8. The chic pilates bag
Yes, even your carry-all is part of the outfit. Quilted totes, oversized canvas bags, or sleek nylon backpacks are perfect for carrying socks, straps, water bottles, and your post-class green juice.
9. Socks with grip Are the secret OGs
Slipping mid-roll-up? Not cute. Pilates grip socks are practical and they come in chic colours and cut-out styles that actually look Instagrammable. A little detail that screams studio ready.
10. Minimalist accessories, maximum vibes
From sleek headbands that keep your hair in place to water bottles that look like fashion accessories, Pilates girlies know the power of coordinated add-ons. Think of them as the final layer of your Pilates outfit aesthetic.
The trending Pilates workout wear movement is proof that when you look good, you feel unstoppable on the mat (and in life). So the next time you head to class, take a cue from your favourite stars, strike a pose in your co-ords, and remember: in Pilates, style is just as important as strength.

NDTV Exclusive: How Sara Tendulkar Got Hooked To Pilates In London And Is Now Bringing It Home To Mumbai
Sara Tendulkar, daughter of cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, has officially stepped into India's wellness landscape with the launch of Pilates Academy X Sara Tendulkar in Andheri, Mumbai. The studio, which opens its doors to the public on August 21, 2025, is the fourth branch of the popular Dubai-based Pilates Academy franchise. For Sara Tendulkar, the Pilates Academy + Smoothie Bar studio represents much more than a business venture - it is a manifestation of her personal fitness journey and her background in nutrition. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Sara Tendulkar shares, "Pilates has played a huge role in my fitness journey. My background in clinical nutrition and public health makes me view wellness as much more than just workouts or diets. It's about balance - the kind that lets you care for your health while still enjoying the little things you love. That's what inspired me to bring both together, so people can build strength and live more mindfully in a way that feels natural for them." A Dream Born In London, Nurtured In Mumbai Sara Tendulkar first encountered Pilates in London, where she pursued her education. She remembers walking into a Pilates studio in London, trying a class, and being instantly hooked. "I'm the kind of person who enjoys an active lifestyle," she says. "When I was in London a few years ago, I tried Pilates and was instantly hooked. Through it all, I kept dreaming of having my own space - maybe a café, a smoothie bar, or just a place where people could come together and feel part of a community. So, when I moved back to India and came across the Pilates Academy, opening a franchise with them just felt right." As the owner of this franchise, Sara Tendulkar is all set to work on everything hands-on. She is most excited to "build a community and work on the café and smoothie bar - KYNDA." KYNDA is a dedicated section of the studio that will serve smoothies and other nourishing options designed by Sara herself. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sara Tendulkar (@saratendulkar) A Foodie's Approach To Wellness Sara Tendulkar describes herself as a foodie first and a nutritionist second - though the two roles often overlap. "I've always been a foodie, and that made me curious about nutrition," she explains. "I remember growing up trying to understand how different foods affect the body, and my science background meant I could dive deeper. In fact, I've tried almost every diet you can imagine and that has made me realise that food isn't only about health, but also about joy,' Sara Tendulkar tells NDTV. Her philosophy is about striking a balance by enjoying the food you love while still considering your overall wellness. She often experiments by turning delicious recipes into healthier versions. Sara Tendulkar On Building Her Own Identity The legacy of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has cast a long shadow on Sara Tendulkar as an individual, but she has managed to carve her own niche. She admits that moving abroad at the age of 17 is what truly shaped her sense of self. "For as long as I can remember, I've been in the public eye, but moving abroad at 17 changed a lot of things for me. I was living alone, figuring things out, making mistakes, and making my own decisions, far from the comfort of home. But that gave me the confidence to shape my own identity and make my own choices." Sara Tendulkar reveals that resilience, independence, and curiosity are things that helped her step into her own. With the launch of Pilates Academy X Sara Tendulkar, the 27-year-old, is entering the wellness sector and creating a space that goes beyond legacy and fame. It reflects on her journey as an individual and her passions. While the academy opens to the public on August 21, 2025, the inauguration ceremony was held a week earlier in an intimate gathering attended by the Tendulkar family and close friends. Sara Tendulkar was accompanied at the ceremony by her parents, Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar, as well as Saaniya Chandhok, the fiancée of her brother Arjun Tendulkar.

Aditya Chopra To Save Alia Bhatt's Alpha After War 2's Box Office Debacle, Makes 'Crucial Revisions'?
Aditya Chopra has reportedly changed Alpha's screenplay and execution to save Alia Bhatt's film. After the smashing success of YRF's Saiyaara, all eyes were on Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2. While the YRF spyverse film opened to good numbers, it failed to maintain its momentum at the box office and did not manage to impress the audience much. Amid this box office debacle, Alia Bhatt's Alpha, which is YRF's next spy film, has come under scrutiny. Reports now suggest that Aditya Chopra himself has stepped in to save the film. As a report by senior journalist Subhash K Jha, after the disaster of Ayan Mukerji-directed War 2, the inexperience of Alpha director Shiv Rawail has left YRF concerned. Shiv has previously directed The Railway Men, which was a mini-series. YRF executives are reportedly unsure if he can handle a grand project like Alpha. According to the report, Aditya Chopra has stepped in to reshape and save Alpha. 'Sources suggest crucial revisions are being made to both the screenplay and its execution to ensure the film lives up to the studio's expectations and restores faith in the spy universe brand," the report claims. However, an official confirmation is yet to be received. Fans got a glimpse of Alpha in War 2's post-credit scene. In the sequence, Bobby Deol made a surprise appearance, marking his official entry into the Spy Universe. The scene showed him stamping the logo of an agency on a young girl's hand. When the girl asked what it meant, Bobby's character answered, 'Alpha." He explained that Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and their program's motto: 'The first, the fastest, the strongest." This intriguing interaction had fuelled speculation online that the girl might be a younger version of Alia Bhatt's character in Alpha. Bobby Deol is expected to play the main antagonist in the film, who possibly trains Alia's character before turning into her nemesis. Fans believe this twist adds a fascinating mentor-turned-enemy dynamic to the upcoming story. The post-credits moment sent fans into a frenzy, as it firmly established a bridge between War 2 and Alpha, which also stars Sharvari alongside Alia. By revealing Bobby Deol's villain in advance, YRF laid the groundwork for a darker, more layered expansion of its Spy Universe. With Aditya Chopra reportedly taking a more hands-on approach, will Alpha become a blockbuster hit? We will find out this December.
