Dilemma: The trials and tribulations of yoga apparel, aka what to wear underneath our skin-tight uniform.
Cotton is a definite no-no since it absorbs sweat (and doesn’t let it go). In the undies department the problem is clear – as nearly every line is visible. And do we go sports bra (is aerobic-worthy support really necessary?) or wear our trusted everyday style? The latter just feels wrong.
Solution: the sweetest things (how fitting), created by the smart sister duo behind local brand Miel Sisters. Think micro fibre seamless panties in three super cute, wearable styles (the sisters are originally from Columbia so no granny knickers here).
We love the Iris culottes ($20) which may not be ideal for yoga but are trés sexy under a skirt or jeans. For our skin-tight fix we’re all about the Luna thong ($20) with its moisture wicking properties and protection against odours. And we’re thrilled with the microfiber Nana bra ($28) - not only is it super comfy, it’s available in five colours and is ideal for a low-impact workout.
We’re going back to basics and can finally enjoy Bikram again – no sweat.
