"The best materials for summer Pilates or barre workouts are those that effectively wick away sweat and dry quickly, such as polyester and nylon blends" says di Lanzo, "these synthetic fabrics are excellent at pulling moisture away from your skin, which helps to keep you cool and comfortable. Additionally, look for fabrics with UV protection to guard against the sun's harmful rays."
When it comes to more high-impact workouts like running, Patient agrees: “during the summer, I recommend choosing materials that are lightweight and breathable. Runners in particular will understand that with hotter temperatures comes an increased risk of chafing during long runs, so it’s important to find items that don’t rub in all the wrong places.”
