What To Look For in Plus-Size Activewear

The right gear moves with you, not against you. When shopping for plus-size leggings, sports bras and tops, prioritise:

  • Compression that supports: balanced stretch with recovery so pieces keep their shape.
  • High-waisted security: wide, reinforced bands that don’t roll or dig.
  • Sweat-smart fabric: moisture-wicking performance knits for cooler training and confidence.
  • Anti-slip + squat-proof: bend, stretch, lunge and lift without transparency.
  • Durable stitching: flat seams and reinforcement where curves need it most.

Plus-Size Leggings Fit Guide

Great leggings do three jobs: flatter your shape, stay put, and deliver softness + strength.

  • Curve-friendly gussets help reduce thigh rub.
  • 7/8 length often elongates the leg on a wide range of heights.
  • Recovery matters more than raw stretch. If they snap back, they’ll last.
  • Dark, saturated colours are sleek and reliably squat-proof.

FAQ: Choosing Plus-Size Activewear (Australia)

Which leggings are best for plus-size women?

High-waisted leggings with breathable stretch and strong recovery. If they stay opaque when you squat, they pass.

How do I pick the right sports bra size?

Choose adjustable bands and straps. For high impact, prioritise structure and coverage; for low impact, lighter support is fine.

Are Layna leggings squat-proof?

Yes. Our core styles are tested for bend, lift and full-range movement.
