Every OLY piece is chosen for how it feels on the body, not just how it looks on a rail. Here is what our fabrics are, and how to keep them lasting.
Serenity
Our signature handle. A soft viscose jersey with a fluid drape and a gentle stretch, cut so it moves with you rather than gripping. Typically 95% Viscose, 5% Spandex.
Best for: Pilates, studio work, layering, and everything in between.
Good to know: viscose is a delicate fibre. It feels beautiful and it rewards gentle handling.
Seamless
Knitted in the round with no side seams, so there is nothing to rub and nothing to dig in. Compressive but soft, with a smooth finish under clothes.
Best for: Longer sessions, high movement, and wearing under everyday pieces.
How to care for your OLY
- Gentle cold hand wash in a mild detergent
- Do not bleach
- Do not dry clean
- Do not iron
- Do not tumble dry
- Reshape while damp and dry flat away from direct heat and sunlight
On pilling
Delicate fabrics can be prone to pilling. It is a normal characteristic of soft fibres rather than a fault. To keep it to a minimum, avoid abrasive surfaces such as rough gym equipment, velcro, car seats and textured bags, wash inside out, and follow the care instructions above.
Getting the fit right
Our pieces are cut true to size. If you are between sizes and want a closer fit, size down. If you prefer room to move, size up. Every product page lists what our models are wearing and their measurements.
