What to Wear for Pole Classes

1. Gym Bra and Yoga Shorts

A reliable go-to for many beginners is the classic gym bra paired with yoga shorts. Opt for shorts shorter than 4 inches to ensure you have enough skin exposure on your inner thighs for moves like the superman. While this combo offers good support and flexibility, it might lack a bit in the style department.

2. Swimwear

Swimwear, especially bikinis, can be a cute alternative, offering ample skin exposure necessary for a solid grip. However, be cautious with bikinis during inverts as the typical triangle top may not provide sufficient support to keep everything in place. Some swimwear materials, while appearing sturdy, may not offer the necessary support for more complex moves.

3. Lingerie

For those who love to make a bold statement, lingerie might just be your secret weapon. While not all lingerie is suitable for pole due to its delicate nature, sporty bras and bottoms designed for more activity can double as polewear. Look for pieces that promise to keep everything secure even as you move.

4. Rave Wear/Cute Tops and Shorts from Regular Clothing Stores

If you're just starting out and aren't performing inverts or complex maneuvers yet, feel free to wear any cute tops and shorts. The cute set for your last wave? Perfect!! Make sure they expose as much skin as possible on your arms and legs to maintain grip. Remember, at the end of the day, your vibe comes from you, not your clothes.

Conclusion

In short, the perfect 'pole outfit' should tick these boxes:

✅ Skin Exposure: Enough to secure grips where needed.

 Support: Keeps everything in place during all movements.

 Comfort and Style: Looks great and feels great.

 Personal Confidence: You should feel fantastic wearing it.

Always choose outfits that meet these criteria. But remember,

The most important aspect of your pole dance,

is YOU,

not your outfit.

Wear what makes you feel powerful, confident, and ready to conquer the pole! You're the best, no matter what you wear.
