🏆Plus Size Workout Clothes🏆

As a plus size girly who works out (yes I know it’s shocking!) I know the struggles of finding comfortable clothes that cover all of my parts I need from stomach to thighs, from having bigger breasts and a wider back. Now of course you can truly wear whatever you please working out, I am no stranger to a T-shirt and male sleeping shorts for those days I have to force myself out of bed. But there are days where I want to feel confident and cute while I do my thing.

Now I’m not a very active person since my knee injury. I can truly only do so much but from walking, swimming,

Physical therapy and Pilates. These are some of the brands I have tried or ones I want too!

Store Review

📍Shop 1:Kohl’s

🏆What to look for:Definitely finding a bigger bang for your buck! Kohl’s has a wide variety of workout clothes that fit like a glove without having to spill an obscene amount of money.

⭐Rating:9:10

📍Shop 1:HALARA

🏆What to look for: I have indeed brought from HALARA before so I can say the quality of clothes is one of my favorite. Comfy material that hugs me in all the right ways. They are one of my favorite brands, even if they are a little pricy. Their sales make up for it!

📝Variety:They have a wide plus variety however I would like to see more options in the future. There are things I love on the sight not made for my size and would truly love to have the opportunity to purchase them.

🤑Price range:$-$$

⭐Rating:6/10

📍Shop 1:Kinda Fit Kinda Fat

🏆What to look for:A brand dedicated to being chunky and healthy is all I love and hope for. I would love to be under the name brand as they support eating what you want and being healthy.

📝Variety:I would love to see more options from them on their women’s department. They do tend to change with season and styles but a bigger variety would be more appropriate and appreciated

🤑Price range:$-$$-$$$

⭐Rating:7.5/10

📍Shop 1:Better Me

🏆What to look for:Now I use the better me app for working out so I haven’t purchased anything off the store just yet. However going up to a size 3XL is what I love to see. Giving you an idea how their clothes are going to fit on someone my body type.

📝Variety:A variety of styles, colors, shapes and sizes. I love the inclusivity and be sure to check out their app. It’s worked wonders on my knee!

🤑Price range:$$

⭐Rating:8/10

📍Shop 1:Popflex

🏆What to look for:Popflex has the CUTEST designs for workout wear. I absolutely love from the skirts to the bras. They have very inclusive models which help sell the idea of the fit in their outfits.

📝Variety: Up to a size 3XL I love how they do have a swim shop as well with one pieces to two!

🤑Price range:$-$$

⭐Rating:8/10

📍Shop 1:Fabletics

🏆What to look for: I own a pair of fabletics and let me say I was blown away! They fit wonderful, no underwear peaking through. Covering all my bits and pieces I want to hide from the world as I do my work out.

📝Variety: Ranging from XXS to a 4XL I love the inclusivity for both ends. They have a short/petite inseam to Tall which helps so many women of all shapes and sizes!

🤑Price range:$$-$$$

⭐Rating:8/10

... Read moreHey, fellow 'WORKOUT BABES'! If you're like me, finding the perfect plus-size workout attire can feel like a quest. We want clothes that support us, make us feel good, and let us move freely, without constantly adjusting or worrying about coverage. After years of trying different brands, I've really narrowed down what works for me as a plus-size woman who's active, from walking to Pilates and beyond. Elevating Your Gym Style: Classy Plus Size Workout Outfits Sometimes, I want to feel a little extra polished even when I'm sweating it out. This is where the idea of 'classy plus size workout clothes' comes in. It's not just about functionality; it's about feeling put-together and confident. Here are my tips for creating those chic plus-size gym outfits: Matching Sets are Your Best Friend: One of the easiest ways to look instantly coordinated and classy is with a matching top and bottom set. Brands like Fabletics and Popflex often have beautiful seamless designs that create a cohesive look. Choose colors that make you feel vibrant, or go for classic black or navy for timeless elegance. The key is that the pieces are designed to go together, making styling effortless. Quality Fabrics Make a Difference: Look for activewear made with high-quality, moisture-wicking, and supportive fabrics. These not only perform better during your workout but also tend to hold their shape and look more luxurious. Compression fabrics can offer a smooth silhouette, which often contributes to a 'classy' feel. Flattering Cuts and Details: High-waisted leggings are a game-changer for me, providing comfort and confidence. Look for thoughtful details like flatlock seams (to prevent chafing), wide waistbands that don't roll down, and supportive sports bras that offer both comfort and lift. Sometimes, a subtle mesh panel or a unique strap design can elevate an outfit. Layering for a Polished Look: A stylish hoodie or a long-sleeve top can be thrown over your tank or sports bra for a sophisticated layered look, especially when transitioning from the gym to errands. This adds an extra touch of style and practicality. Beyond the Gym: Activewear for Training & Lounging Life isn't just about intense workouts; it's also about recovery, errands, and casual comfort. I love pieces that can easily transition from a light workout to lounging at home. For me, this means soft, stretchy joggers, oversized graphic tees, and comfortable seamless leggings that can be paired with a cute sweater or a denim jacket. This versatility is crucial for building a practical and stylish activewear wardrobe that serves multiple purposes. Hitting the Pavement: Essential Plus Size Running Clothes While my current routine includes more walking and Pilates due to my knee, I know many 'PLUS SIZE WORK OUT ATTIRE I Love and Trust As A Plus Size Woman Who's Active!' friends who love to run. If running is your jam, here are a few specific things to look for in your plus size running clothes: High-Impact Sports Bras: Essential for proper support and comfort during high-intensity movements. Look for adjustable straps and band for a custom fit. Chafe-Free Bottoms: This is crucial! Look for shorts or leggings with anti-chafing properties or flatlock seams. Many runners also swear by anti-chafing balms or sticks. Breathable & Moisture-Wicking Fabrics: Essential for staying cool and dry, preventing discomfort and potential skin irritation. Pockets! For your phone, keys, and gels. Functional pockets are a lifesaver. Smart Shopping for Your Activewear When you're looking for new pieces, whether from the brands I mentioned or exploring new options, always check the fabric composition for a good blend of stretch (like spandex or elastane) and durability. Read reviews, especially from other plus-size individuals, to get an idea of sizing and fit. Don't be afraid to try on different styles and sizes until you find what makes you feel amazing. Remember, being an active plus-size woman is about feeling good in your skin and your clothes!
