Upon reading Eco friendly Yoga-gear l noticed that it is all geared for women. Yoga is not just for women! I can't seem to find any yoga clothing just for men and my hubbie has almost worn womens gear because of the vast variety. Can you investigate Yoga gear for men?

    I don't see why men's compression pants wouldn't work as yoga pants, they are basically leggings for men. I'm sure you could find an oversized top on amazon, or maybe a baggy pair of shorts to wear over them if he's not into leggings-as-pants for men

    FWIW, my boyfriend claims to have owned men's yoga pants, which he describes as looser than women's, but the same kind of fabric. (Basically like pajama pants.) I'm not sure if this was a gimmicky thing that's not around anymore, or if he was pulling my leg. But there you go.

    Personally i just wear either Ron Hills or trail running shorts, generally with a tech tee.

    If you do want to go for "yoga clothing" the men's styles tend to be Indian in styling.

    There are organic yoga clothes for men! And this clothes is as fashionable and modern as the women's. All things are made from a unique material (Eucalyptus and Beech fibers). This material is stronger than cotton and super breathable. I use yoga shorts and trousers for classes, as well as a yoga hoodie on the way home. All men's yoga wear I'm talking about can be viewed here - https://yoga-eco-clothing.com . In addition, it is fully manufactured in America. For me, this is also an advantage.

    I generally wear compression shorts/capris with cotton shorts and a performance shirt.

    Mostly because I suspect nobody wants to see me do yoga without some cotton shorts for modesty.

    Yeah, I'm gonna say nobody wants to see a men in compression, bending over.
    As a gross, over-generalization, you can say that men look best in looser garments -- garments that show enough to let you whether a man is in shape, but aren't necessarily too form fitting and revealing.
    Most men in a yoga class simply wear loose fitting shorts, like running shorts, and a t-shirt.
    Lululemon has men's yoga clothes, and that is about what they are.
    I have a few pairs of rough-cotton, long pants that tie with a draw string that are made for yoga. But I do not remember where I got them. That kind of thing is good.

    All the men in my yoga class wear loose fitting running shorts and a T-shirt.

    Not sure what your husband is really looking for, but there's no shame in wearing women's yoga clothing, I think. My husband has large thighs and found that the best bicycling shorts for him were women's biking shorts. Honestly, nobody ever looked inside his waist band to see what gender his clothes were designed for. Nobody could tell the difference. They were just black everyday biking shorts (and frankly, he looked great in them!)

    My husband wears swimming trunks or hiking pants.

    I also wear hiking pants as often as not, as the band in my yoga pants has started flipping below my belly roll, instead of staying at my waist.

    I tend to wear sweat pants. I have a rather big muscular butt that compression pants/shorts have problems corralling as I contort.

    I don't have much advice on shirts because I'm usually without.
