I started a similar thread a year ago, and I know there are others popping up all the time. But new brands are popping up all the time too, so I thought I'd bring it up again.

What are ladies wearing to work out?

I've had the most luck in terms of durability, comfort, and flattering fit with Zella. Brooks used to have a plus sized line which they discontinued, which was amazing, and their new plus sizes are awful to me. I just bought some things online from Marika Curves and Soybu, so I guess we'll see how those turn out.

What is everyone wearing?

    Also try State of Mind, I got some very nice T-shirts and 3/4 length yoga pants - flared leg so balance the wideness of the hips a bit better! They're UK based and online.

    Gotcha. I'm aware of Torrid and Lands End, though I don't believe the rest of these are available where I am - or at least they don't have women's plus sizes where I am. Thanks for the suggestions though!

    I shop around wherever and don't follow any particular brands. My favorite pair of workout pants are by Katie K Active. They're very well made and even have an actual generous pocket.

    I don't mind Lane Bryant's tops...but I try to avoid the mostly cotton ones. Their pants aren't well made. Wore a pair of multi-colored leggings on a backpacking trip. They barely held up for 7 miles. I didn't put a hole in the thighs but they were rubbed so much that they were totally pilled up and the color had faded really bad. I have several other printed pants that I've worn for many more miles without that kind of damage. I was very disappointed.
