Plus size activewear is not easy to find, with most brands focused on catering to slim consumers. For years, the fashion industry upheld a narrow definition of beauty and beauty standards, which excluded majorly plus size individuals, as a result of which, activewear for them was also scarcely found.
However, in recent years, body positive brands have carved a niche for themselves by offering activewear for a wide range of women—plus size included. Some brands even cater to plus size women exclusively.
Searching for plus size activewear brands might prove to be a daunting task, so the Sportskeeda team has put together a list of brands that are renowned for offering such activewear.
