The thing I get asked most frequently is about my collection of plus size fitness leggings. Where did I get them? Do they fit well? Here’s a list of all the places I buy fancy schmany rainbowy work out leggings, why I like them, and other random thoughts. Later I will be working on a post which outlines how to choose the right pair of leggings for you based on activity, body types and personal needs.

Old Navy Plus Size LeggingsOld Navy

Old Navy is one of the only brands to offering cold weather warming gear and base layers. For a girls who runs 3x a weeks no matter the temperature, they have been my saving grace. Their gear is a solid bargain when you consider what you are getting for the price: stylish, everyday fitness wear, with a good fit. My own warning would be is to never put them in the dryer. I have notice they use elasticity a bit quicker than the more boutique legging shops.

 

Lineage Plus Size LeggingsLineage

I was lucky enough to win a pair of lineage leggings as part of a yoga challenge. One wear and I was hooked. They are some of the best fit leggings I have ever owned. What I enjoy most about them is that for a girl just getting into fitness they are your dream leggings- there’s enough compression for aerobics, but enough stretch to make it a solid yoga legging. Plus the patterns are eye catching and amazing.

 

 

Fractal.9 Plus Size LeggingsFractal.9

Fractal.9 leggings were some of the first yoga gear I ever bought. All their gear is bold and sassy, but I absolutely have an obsession with their sweet cheeks cut. They have an adjustable length, and in hot yoga they can’t be beat. I am so happy that Fractal.9 has created such an necessary staple designed with the plus body in mind.

 

 

pr_starstruck_front_1024x1024Personal Record

Personal record makes what I consider one of my favorite pairs of leggings. The fit is great and the waist has a lot of support and does not slip during heavy aerobic exercise. Also, they’re like wearing a Liza Frank sticker on your body, which is pretty much my life goal.

 

 

 

 

Lola-Getts-Skinny-CapriLola Getts

Lola Getts hands down makes my favorite black legging. I don’t want to call them basic, because they aren’t. They fit like a dream, transition from day to night, and have excellent compression. They are expensive, but they last forever. Seriously, they have made it through more thunder thigh rubbing than any pair of fitness pants I have ever had.

 

 

 

Sport Skirts Plus Size LeggingsSkirt Sports

Skirts sports offers us girls something a bit different. Don’t worry, each skirt had shorts or leggings underneath, making it the ultimate plus size girly girls run gear. But don’t be fooled, skirt sports clothing is designed for serious runners, with all the right support and moisture wicking a girl could ask for. Plus, oh the pockets! Their skirted capri is one of my long run go tos.

 

 

Abomb Apparel Plus Size Leggings

Abomb Apparel

Abomb is fun yoga brand, that offers custom fit pants. While not suited for heavy aerobics, Abomb pants are the perfect partner in crime for getting flexy. They offer more stretch and give than a compression pair. My leopard leggings have a scrunch butt which show off my assets and make me feel like a sexy yoga goddess.

 

Breeze Activewear Plus Size LeggingsBreeze Activewear

I had my first workout in Breeze leggings this week and I was impressed. These leggings are cut extremely well for pear shaped girls. I enjoy that they offer a little more thigh and butt room, with out compromising the support in the waist and stomach area. Rarely do I find leggings that fit my pear shape so perfectly.

 

 

 

Yogaletics Plus Size LeggingsYogaletics

Yogaletics creates amazing prints and thank goodness designd them with no annoying camel toe creating center seam. I love yogaletics so much because they are constantly rotating designs. Plus the understand that there is no such thing as a legging that works perfectly for every exercise, so they create variations to support different types of being active.

 

 

 

Plus size leggings k deerK-Deer

I’ve been obsessed with this brand for awhile and I only recently found they offer plus sizes. I’m saving up for this awesome pair of neon striped leggings because I was born to have my body clad in neon and doing so while also raising to fingers in the air to the stereotype of women not being able to wear stripes is the best feeling ever!

 

 

Zzella plus size leggingsella

Offered by Norstrom this brand offers practical work out gear that is flattering and reusable. I have a lot of love for their reversible pair of leggings. What girl doesn’t love being able to have her fitness gear go the extra mile? That said, do not wear them for a work out and expect to reverse them for the next day. That’s just nasty.

 

 

 

Torrid plus size work out gearTorrid

This set just speaks to me on so many levels. Personally I haven’t worn Torrid gear, but people keep telling me to check it out. This set is making me go gaga, so as soon as I have the monies, girl it is on. I think anything that reminds the world I am a star, is a must own.

 

 

 

 

Pink Lotus Plus Size LeggingsPink Lotus

Pink Lotus has just recently begun offering plus size gear, but they are coming in with a bang a rang. This particular look caught my eye because its what I imagine what euphoria looks like in a workout gear twin set. I like that they are kicking off their line with bold prints, because they understand the plus size world  doesn’t need another store offering an uninspired black fitness legging.

 

 

My Manifesta plus size leggingsManifesta

I feel these shark attack leggings were made to worn on the work outs during shark week. I don’t own them, but I want them. I think about this often, the amazing visual pun that could be made. The inside joke that could keep me giggling through a tough workout. Manifesta is a often loved plus size work out gear brand and makes its solid bet when searching for fitness fun leggings.

 

katie K Plus Size LeggingsKatie K

Katie K is a newer discovery for me, but I am loving how there leggings are perfectly designed for running. A nice side pocket allows for storage, which not all leggings provide. This is a main selling point for a girl like me who has already had to put her phone in a bag of rice several times due to phone damage from boob sweat. With pants like these, I wouldn’t have to rely so much on Uncle Ben.

 

Marika Plus Size LeggingsMarika

Marika is my best kept secret, well Marika purchased at Marshall’s. It’s the brand that no one know about, but is a great inexpensive brand. Plus any company that makes metallic splattered leggings needs to be on my list.

 

 

 

 

Rainbeau Curves Plus Size LeggingsRainbeau Curves

Rainbeau curves is love by some of my favorite plus size yoga goddesses. They make great prints and are exceptionally affordable.  I love that they are so active in the community and do more than just create great active wear, but also support some many amazing women who are amazing examples in the plus size fitness community.

 

 

Just Curves OnederJust Curves

Just Curves gets the inovation award. I really appreciate what they are trying to do to not only create great plus size work out gear, but all reinvent those items to better support plus bodies. A great example of this is the Oneder suit, which provides compression on the back as well. I’ve been lusty after this lace and purple since it came out, mostly because i feel like it might be the sexiest thing to wear working out, ever.

Share the love... and this post!
