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.
