Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing on the retreat. It is important not to restrict circulation while sitting; some clothing becomes uncomfortable after an extended period of sitting. For example, the heavy denim fabric of blue jeans bunches around the knees, and tight-waisted jeans or other pants can restrict the movement of the abdomen for deep breathing.

Sweatpants, sweatshirts, yoga pants, and loose-fitting clothing in general, perhaps with elasticized or drawcord waists, are good for sitting meditation.

If possible, please try to wear subdued colors without (or minimal) logos or sayings, to minimize visual distraction for other participants.
