A yoga jacket should feel easy to layer over your class outfit and comfortable when you move. When comparing styles, pay attention to sleeve length, hem placement and how the jacket feels over the top you plan to wear.
Check the sleeves and shoulders
Raise your arms and reach forward. The shoulders should feel comfortable, and the sleeves should not pull in a way that distracts you. If you prefer a closer base underneath, compare long-sleeve yoga tops and yoga tops.
Notice where the hem sits
A shorter hem may feel simple over high-rise bottoms; a longer cut can offer more coverage. Try sitting, bending and walking in the layer to see whether its length suits your routine. Browse yoga jackets and compare the product measurements before choosing.
Try it over your usual outfit
Layer the jacket over the sports bra or top you expect to wear. Check that the extra layer feels comfortable when zipped or left open, and that it is easy to remove and carry. For fabric details, see our NULS fabric guide.
