Our Favorite Activewear For Plus-Size Women

Even as little as five years ago, it was a struggle to find activewear in plus sizes. But now, thanks to more brands becoming size-inclusive, finding cute and comfortable activewear is much easier for plus-size women. I’ve rounded up some of my favorites, and included everything from sustainable options to budget-friendly ones. Read on for the best workout and activewear for my fellow plus-size babes!

Girlfriend Bra + Leggings

Hands down my favorite activewear brand is Girlfriend. I own at least 10 pairs of its leggings and I love how supportive and comfortable they are. With sizes XXS-6XL, everyone can enjoy a pair.

Nike Woven Track Jacket + Nike One Tights

I love this candy-colored combo not only because of how cute it is, but because you can wear it all day long.

 

Nike Running Shorts

These breathable shorts are a great option in the summer.

 

Nike Dri-FIT Yoga Jumpsuit

I love this jumpsuit for yoga or Pilates. It’s also cute enough to wear on the go.

 

Long Sleeve Open Back T-Shirt

Perfect for throwing on after leaving the gym, or to wear during a barre class. Also available in white and black.

 

Universal Standard Movement Mesh Crop Leggings

These stretchy cropped leggings are available in sizes up to 28W and have extra breathability thanks to stylish mesh inserts.

Nike Swossh Icon Sports Bra

It’s a scientific fact that putting on a bright-colored sports bra leads to a better workout.*

Raglan Active Sweatshirt

The pullover style and thumb holes make this the perfect piece for yoga, Pilates, barre and more.

 

High-Waisted Floral Cropped Leggings

These breathable leggings will keep you tucked in, but also stretchy enough for any workout.

Girlfriend Gazelle Short

One pair of these breezy shorts is made from 29 recycled water bottles. So not only will you be working up a good sweat, but you’ll be lessening your carbon footprint.

 

Lattice Back Active Sweatshirt

I love this basic wardrobe staple with a feminine twist.

 

Medium-Support Sports Bra

This sports bra provides enough coverage for all of us extra-busty gals out there.

Zella High Waist Daily Legging

A classic activewear staple, these leggings are perfect for daily walks or HIIT workouts.
