Yoga Wear Manufacturing Guide (Fabrics, Fits & MOQ)
Yoga wear is won on fabric and fit: high-waist coverage, squat-proof opacity and seams that stay put in every pose. Here's what matters when manufacturing yoga wear.
Fabrics that perform
- High-waist leggings: nylon-spandex with 4-way stretch, 200–280 GSM
- Seamless yoga: circular-knit nylon (no side seams, sculpting fit)
- Squat-proof opacity: test in motion — 78%+ nylon gives better opacity
- Ribbed textures add grip and compression at similar weights
Fit specs buyers expect
High-waist 25–28" inseam is the default; longline sports bras (14–16" band height) sell more than shortline. Grade your chart S–5XL for inclusivity.Sampling yoga wear
- Squat-test opacity on every sample color — white/light colors fail most
- Wash-test high-waist bands for roll-down after 10 washes
- Check gusset depth on leggings — a short gusset causes ride-down
