InStyle's editorial guidelines Updated on April 5, 2024 @ 05:15PM Getty Images Like any other clothing category, plus-size activewear choices should fit well, feel good to wear, and look stylish. After years of limited choices for sizes 14 and up, styles are much more abundant these days; you just need to know where to look. There are two types of brands in the world of plus-size shopping: designated brands, like Torrid and Lane Bryant, make clothing with curves, rolls, folds, and excessive boob sweat in mind, while brands, like Asos and Old Navy, have expanded to plus sizes to accommodate more customers with larger bodies (but could still do better). If you're looking for more comfortable activewear, then it's important to note that different types of physical activity might require different workout wear. Gusseted leggings offer more stretch in the groin for extra-long Peloton sessions while athleisure dresses are both fashionable and convenient for yoga to grocery store trips. This list encompasses all. See for yourself, ahead. Torrid Courtesy View at Torrid ($32) A tried and true brand for plus-size people, Torrid truly flourishes in the activewear space with its selection full of flattering styles and patterns. Whether you need a basic black set for everyday use, or you want to show off during pilates, Torrid has options available in sizes 10–30. If you're a constant treadmill user and need the extra chest support, the sport bras and bralettes keep larger breasts secure without side boob spillage. Yitty Courtesy View at Yitty ($70) Lizzo created this Fabletics-owned brand to "revolutionize shapewear" and offer premium activewear that doesn't try to hide the body, but emphasizes it instead. This is shapewear at its finest with varying compression abilities to tackle any form of physical activity. The high-waisted shorts and leggings offer ultimate tummy control that keeps the band from rolling down. Lizzo is flipping the plus-size athleisure market on its head in one simple way; by categorizing size with bigger bodies first. Styles are available in sizes up to 6X and made from eco-friendly, recycled materials. Asos Courtesy View at ASOS ($22) Fashion trends constantly evolve, but Asos keeps up with these changes by offering new styles regularly. The U.K.-based brand has become a favorite amongst both Gen Z and Millennial shoppers for its extensive styles and brand offerings, like Adidas, Reebok, and South Beach, as well as its namesake activewear brand Asos 4505, with sizes up to 30. Lane Bryant Courtesy View at Lane Bryant ($50) Lane Bryant stepped into the activewear market in 2015 with the Livi collection, which includes workout selections in sizes 12–32. The brand is known for its bras, so of course it introduced designated athleisure bras that range from a size 32DD–56H to the line, too. The loose-fitting tank tops and sleeveless hoodies pair best with a sports bra for epic cardio days or just a light yoga session in your living room. Whether you're a big fan of color or like to keep it neutral, your wardrobe will welcome the additional sets. SuperFit Hero Courtesy View at SuperFitHero ($50) One of the most inclusive athleisure brands, SuperFit Hero focuses on the plus-size community and offers activewear and swimwear in sizes L (12/14)–7XL (40/42). When shopping through this brand, you'll notice models with different body types that show how the selections fit larger bodies instead of leaving us to imagine it ourselves. The SUPERHOLD collection is made to keep larger bodies secure when doing physical activity. That means no more excessive flopping of certain body parts while doing jumping jacks or jogging. Halara Courtesy View at The Halara ($38, originally $61) Halara, a women-founded brand, focuses on activewear that stretches without fear of losing its shape over time and soft interiors for cozy wear. The Everyday Cloud Dress (that comes with built-in shorts and pockets) is one of the best selling pieces for its fashion versatility as well as support for less intensive workouts like pilates, golf, or mid-day walks. Most of the styles are inclusive with the same products offered in both straight sizes (XS–XL) and extended sizes (1X–3X). Girlfriend Collective Courtesy View at Girlfriend Collective ($52) Every product on Girlfriend Collective explicitly details the number of water bottles, C02, and energy saved with your purchase, but its conscious business practices don't stop there. The brand is popular with TikTok and Instagram influencers as well as everyday shoppers for its extensive size offerings (up to a 6XL) and colorful workout sets. Even if you're not an active gym go-er there are styles available that add extra comfort to everyday living. Check out the racerback bra and compressive flare leggings for an easy work-from-home look. Old Navy Courtesy View at Old Navy ($24) It's time that the world recognizes Old Navy for what it is: a haven of fashion and affordability. When it comes to activewear you'll find a variety of options with plus-size offerings available in the same styles as smaller sizes. Pullover hoodies and high-waisted joggers start are under $30, and just a warning, the low prices might tempt you to fill your cart (you have our full support). If you're already in the mood for shopping, keep going and check out the full plus-size section to update your wardrobe, too. Athleta Courtesy View at Athleta ($89) Athleta offers athletic wear that somehow looks so sophisticated, you could wear it to work and nobody would blink twice. The selection includes options in sizes up to 3XL — consider the brand's ankle pant for a comfortable and casual look that can be paired with a blazer or a sports bra (or both at once if you're going for a Kardashian vibe). Target Courtesy View at Target ($28) Shopping in-store for plus-size clothing can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Thankfully, Target simplified it, by offering specific styles and sections for extended-sizes – both in store and online. The activewear line, All in Motion, is filled with plus-size leggings in different cuts and colors, the majority of which are under $30. Amazon Courtesy View at Amazon ($12) If you need new leggings fast, go to Amazon (you really can't beat two-day shipping). You'll find brands like Adidas and New Balance in a few clicks, plus you can snag other popular styles, like the viral butt-lifting leggings that everyone obsessed over last year. Seasum's style offers sizes up to 4XL along with so many colors to choose from. Plus, they'll highlight, not hide, your curves. Nordstrom Courtesy View at Nordstrom ($59) This leading fashion retailer knows the importance of good activewear – there's even a dedicated heading for workout wear shoppers. Nordstrom offers plus-size selections from brands like Nike and Girlfriend Collective, and its private labels, Zella and BP. If you prefer shopping in one place for all your wardrobe needs, look no further. You can also take advantage of the virtual styling services to help choose a new workout set in your specific price and size range. BeyondYoga Courtesy View at Beyond Yoga ($68) BeyondYoga's super soft fabric is made of stretchy material that contours to the body as it moves, whether you're going through sun salutations or completing afternoon errands. The site's best-sellers include a racerback crop top that's shaped to lie just above the brand's biker shorts and leggings, unveiling just a smidge of skin. Extended sizes are offered up to 4X with neutral shades available year round and seasonal colors launching regularly for sets you can mix and match.
