10 Of The Most Fun Barre Outfits You Wish You Owned

With the ever-rising popularity of barre, the ballet-inspired workout that sculpts and tones your figure, you know that what you wear to class is essential – not just for looking awesome, but being able to move freely is vital for this popular workout craze.

Barre focuses on tiny, isometric movements combined with stretches to lengthen and tone muscles. You will often switch quickly between stretches at the barre to Pilates-inspired core work, to dynamic yoga poses.

It sounds terribly serious, so I’ve helpfully picked out some of the cutest and funniest things to wear to brighten up your fitness class. And to top it off, they’re all affordable too:
