I Do Pilates Twice a Week—I Couldn't Hold a Plank Without These Grippy Socks
As someone who's a regular at reformer classes, there’s nothing worse than not feeling your best mid-workout. With most classes being under an hour, there isn’t much time to get back into the right mindset if you fall out of it. When I'm wearing a top that isn’t quite holding everything together or my socks have me slipping everywhere, my workout can be easily ruined. I distinctly remember nearly falling off of a machine during a quick transition and from that day on, I’ve always made a point to wear a good pair of grippy socks to my workout classes.
Balletcore may have helped popularize the Pilates princess aesthetic, but to me, it's more than an aesthetic but a way of life. Prioritizing small motions that can tone your body and make you feel amazing while doing it always makes my day. If you want to be prepared for whatever your instructor throws at you, I highly suggest giving one of these 12 pairs of grippy socks a try.
The newest addition to my collection, this pair of socks has already earned me compliments.
These have been one of my go-to pairs for a while. They’ve really held up.
Everything I’ve tried from Bala is next-level, so I need to get my hands on its grippy socks.
These are so comfortable that you’ll want to wear them to more than just Pilates.

Sierra Mayhew was always destined to work in fashion, but she didn't know it at first. Growing up with no choice but to wear a rotation of school uniforms and activewear, her love for fashion really blossomed when she moved away for college and was able to finally define her very own personal style. Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com, and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, rollerblading through New York City traffic, or exploring the latest luxury vintage boutique.
