From your top to your shoes to your accessories, these five essential yoga fashion statements are guaranteed to snazz up routine and work for your body and your style, from the mat to the street.

These capris combine sex appeal (a stylish slit up the back calf) with coverage — a slightly fuller cut through the leg so you don’t feel overexposed on your way to class. This environmentally friendly yogawear equivalent of the little black dress is made from 90% organic cotton using low eco-impact dyes. Available in black, chocolate, or charcoal. ($48)

Everything Fits Gym Bag
At last, you can stop shlepping your purse, your workout bag, and your yoga mat bag to every class.

Its groovy avocado color and bowling-bag shape give it a cheery retro vibe, too. (Also available in black.)
