The soft, sculpting movement wear I live in
Some clothes you wear; others you live in. Studio K is firmly in the second category for me: soft, sculpting, sensual pieces that take me from a morning flow to the school run to a slow evening at home.
I discovered Studio K when I was looking for natural pieces that still had the sculpting, flattering fit I love from mainstream activewear. So much of the natural clothing I’d tried felt lovely but a little shapeless. Studio K is different: the Contour pieces hold and smooth, and the Ribbed pieces feel delicate and feminine.
This is my guide to the brand: the story behind it, what the fabrics are made from, how the pieces fit, and every Studio K piece we have on Glowing Healthy.

Why I trust Studio K
Studio K was founded by Miki West, who left the fashion industry when it no longer felt aligned and found a more grounded way forward through yoga.[1]
Every piece is made in a woman-owned studio in Bali, where Studio K says its artisans work in a safe and supportive space and earn fair wages.[2] I love buying from a brand where you can feel the care that goes into each piece.
💖 Organic or biodegradable fabrics. Studio K says all its fabrics are either certified organic to international standards or 100% biodegradable.[2]
💖 OEKO-TEX certified dyes. Its colours use OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, the brand says.[2]
💖 Wood-based ECOVERO. The rib pieces use LENZING ECOVERO, a viscose fibre made from wood.[3]
💖 Plastic-free packaging. Studio K ships online orders in mailers made from cassava, which it says are 100% biodegradable, and avoids single-use plastic in production and packaging.[2]

My Studio K favourites
Linea Leggings: like a tailor-made hug
A double-layered waistband, a seamless front and sides and a contouring fabric that keeps everything smooth. These are the leggings I wear for Pilates and on busy city days.
If you’re building a natural movement wardrobe, I’d start here and build around them.

Axis Sports Bra: for more dynamic sessions
A sturdy elastic band, a sporty side stripe and compression that feels like a custom fit. It’s my pick for more dynamic workouts.
Pair it with the Linea Leggings or the Poise Shorts for a matching set.

Rib Flares: from yoga to a chic weekend
Soft rib flares you can wear high-waisted or mid-rise, with a softly flared leg. Studio K makes them from ECOVERO ribbed fibres, and they come in earthy colours.
I wear them with the Rib Tank for slow mornings and with a knit for weekends.

Rib underwear: natural swimwear and sunwear
Studio K’s rib underwear is so soft you forget you’re wearing it, and I also love wearing it as natural swimwear and sunwear on warm days.
The Rib Briefs give more coverage, and the Rib G-String has adjustable straps for the perfect fit.

💖 Mindful movers. You love yoga, Pilates and slow, mindful movement.

💖 Small-batch lovers. You value ethically made clothing from a woman-owned studio.
Caring for your pieces
💖 Wash cool. Wash inside out with similar colours, using a gentle detergent.
💖 Dry gently. Dry flat or on a line out of strong sunlight, and skip the tumble dryer.
💖 Handle with care. Don’t wring or twist wood-based fibres when wet.
💖 Check the guide. Follow Studio K’s care guide for each fabric.
Sizing and delivery
💖 Sizing. Product pages show the model’s height and size, which I find so helpful. If you’re between sizes, read the model notes.[3]
💖 Delivery and returns. Check Studio K’s shipping and returns policies before you order, as they depend on where you are.[4][5]
What is LENZING ECOVERO?
ECOVERO is a branded viscose fibre from Lenzing, made from cellulose, or wood pulp. Like all viscose, it’s a processed fibre rather than a raw natural one, so I describe it as wood-based rather than natural or chemical-free.[6]
In everyday terms, it feels soft, cool and breathable, with a gentle stretch in Studio K’s rib and contour knits. It’s a world away from the slightly slippery feel of many mainstream leggings. Research has found that washing synthetic clothes releases microplastic fibres, so choosing wood-based fibres is one small way to reduce plastic in our laundry.[7]
