11 Chic Activewear Brands For Women Embracing Their Curves

After spending months tucked away at home, we've surely grown a new appreciation for exercise. While we continue to rely on work-out programs to reduce the long-term effects of our new normal—sans the gym—there are many reasons to start moving again, and having the perfect activewear is one of them. 

Nothing feels better than a fresh pair of body sculpting leggings and a matching crop to get your motivation peaking. After all, anything has got to feel better than throwing on your go-to nap dress for the fifth day in a row. And finding the perfect brand has become so much easier.

Whether you've endured a too-tight crop or a stretched out pair of tights, it can feel impossible to find an activewear brand that's actually inclusive of every beautiful, curvy body type that the world has to offer.

Finding activewear that fits properly, feels comfortable and looks cute is so important to promote motivation, and luckily, there are a myriad of brands out there that have extended their size ranges to support every kind of curvy woman in style.

Below, we've rounded up 11 of our top picks for the best plus size activewear brands out there.

Girlfriend Collective

The brand prioritises fabrics made from recycled water bottles, fishing nets and other plastic waste, to reduce their impact on the environment. Their range includes high-performance leggings, tops and sports bras in fresh colourways and made using eco-friendly dyes.
