Shopping for sportswear is a fun but also a daunting task for a curvy girl. Finding the right size leggings or sports bra can be quite a chore when looking for plus size sportswear for women .

Finding a shape that doesn't make you look bulky, boxy, or wide can be a chore. But luckily, more and more sportswear stores have realized that not all women have a fitness body and have created their own line of sportswear for curvy women .

Plus size clothing: what sportswear to choose according to your body type?

Each woman has a unique and different body from her partner, so what looks good on one may not flatter so much on another. But, if you know what your body type is like , you can know what looks good on you and what to discard.

In curvy women there are three types of bodies :

• Pear: wide hips and thin top.
• Apple: similar to an oval, wide in the middle part.
• Hourglass: Broad at the top and bottom, with a well-defined waist.

Depending on your body type, you should look for sportswear that highlights your figure and makes you feel comfortable, highlighting the right parts and holding well so that you can play sports comfortably.

Sportswear for pear-shaped bodies

If you have a pear-shaped body, you should look for sportswear that draws attention to your upper body. We recommend light-colored, sleeveless tops , combined with a dark bottom that conceals the figure.

Sportswear for apple-shaped bodies

If you have an apple-shaped body, you can opt for sportswear for large women that hide the middle part of your body and, in this way, define the figure more. T-shirts that are tied at the waist are the perfect option for this.

However, do not completely cover your upper body. Opt for sleeveless and round neck shirts. And as in the previous case, avoid wide-legged pants and bet on capri and sports leggings.

Sportswear for hourglass bodies

If you have an hourglass-shaped body, it means that you have a well-defined waist , so we advise you to highlight that area. You can do it with round neck or V-shaped shirts, discarding high necks.

For the lower part, we recommend using shorts or a culotte.

Large size sports bras: which one to choose?

When looking for plus size sportswear for women , without a doubt one of the most difficult sportswear to choose is the sports bra. When you have a prominent chest, it's hard to exercise comfortably and without causing discomfort.

It is necessary that the sports bra fulfills its function and supports the breasts well, helping to maintain the posture and preventing the movement of the exercise from becoming a nuisance.

In this sense, compression bras do not favor plus size women, since they crush the chest. Instead, plus-size women should look for encapsulation bras , that have individual cups that support each breast separately.

Encapsulation bras are recommended for low-impact sports. If you practice a high-impact sport, bet on compression and encapsulation bras that combine both techniques to provide even greater support.

Finally, when buying a sports bra, make sure it has wide straps. These are more comfortable and offer greater support.

Plus size leggings: how to choose them?

When it comes to women's plus size activewear , leggings and wide leg pants aren't the only options.

The sports pants you choose will provide flexibility and resistance, as well as comfort. And remember that even if you are a plus size woman, you are not required to wear long pants. If you like shorts , you have several options.

You can opt for short cyclist-type leggings , very flexible and that prevent chafing. If you feel exposed with sports leggings, you can add a shorts. And to avoid the heat with this option, bet on light fabric pants.

You can also put on a sports skirt over the tights. This will give you more coverage than shorts. And if we talk about practical options, the best ones are long tights or leggings . These sports garments are designed not to interrupt your movements during exercise. You can also combine them with shorts or skirts for high impact exercises.

At Fitness Women we want all of us to enjoy sports regardless of the type of body we have. For this reason, in our online store you will find plus size sportswear for women so that you can enjoy your exercise sessions feeling comfortable and free.
