Plus size activewear?

in Getting Started
Hi everyone. I'm starting a walking/running group, and we meet outdoors so I'm needing to find long tights that will keep me warm during these winter months. Unfortunately most activewear brands don't make plus sizes clothing. I've tried Torrid, Target, and Kohls but they don't have what I'm needing. I know Lane Bryant has an active line but I haven't tried it yet. Does anyone have other recommendations, or feedback on Lane Bryant's line?

    Here's a good thread talking about workout clothes in larger sizes.

    I like one of Lane Bryant's sports bras, but that's all I've tried from them so far. I got some fleece leggings from Target (Cuddl brand or something similar) to wear under my normal walking pants, which I think are C9 brand yoga pants, also from Target. Those keep me pretty warm together, though it hasn't gotten lower than 30F while I walk yet.

    I recommend trying out Lane Bryant. They're more expensive than I like, but usually the quality and fit are good and they sometimes do 40-50% off sales, or BOGO sales.

    Walmart is the way to go. Cheap and they serve their purpose. As you get smaller you'll get smaller you'll need smaller clothes. Lane Bryant is over priced.

    Girrrrrrrl. Old Navy is where it's at. Easy on the budget, sales all the time, and plenty of options. Cute and up to date as well!!! You might have to order online for the plus sizes (I do) buts it's free shipping and returns. Pick out what you like, try it on at home, return the rest. I'm obsessed. ❤️

    Old Navy stuff has worked well for me and has held up to use and washing.

    Online: Juno, WomanWithin, Ulla Popken. They carry up to 3X and 4X and have useful size charts with many detailed measurements, so you know what you're getting whether it's tops, bottoms, or underwear. Decent prices, frequent sales and coupons.

    She's right! I get all of my active wear at Old Navy. It's on the sale rack a lot of the time too. I've gotten workout leggings for $2, bras for $3.50. If you catch it right, you can strike gold!

    I am a 1x-3x depending on brand/cut/material but I have been able to find work out clothes at Kohl's, Target and Avenue. TJ Maxx and Marshall's will sometimes have plus size work out clothes too for much less than other department stores.
