Plus size workout wear recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a good brand of plus size workout wear? I like capris that fit snugly to the knee and most of what I am finding is see through in the booty area when you are bending and stretching. Yikes!

    Old Navy has some great work out clothing and not too expensive.


    Have fun shopping.

    Bump!

    Old Navy doesn't sell plus sizes in stores =( I'm curious too. I always see plus size women at the gym in black capris but I can never find any that look/fit good. There's no way I could ask them but surely someone here knows...

    I bought some stuff from Kolh's, in store and online. One pair is see through but I just wear black underwear with them!

    i LOVE the Danskin stuff at walmart. The yoga-style pants are my fave but they have capris too I think.

    I was at JCPenney today and they have a nice selection of plus size workout clothes in the $5-$20 range. Nice quick-dry t-shirts for $11. I bought a few regular cotton t-shirts for $7. LOTS of yoga pants and capris too, as well as warm-up jackets. Have fun shopping!

    I ordered workout pants, sports bra, and compression tank top from Old Navy online. And yes, they do have some Plus Sizes in-store. I've also gotten some workout pants at Fred Meyer before too. :happy:

    I like the Danskin tops from Walmart, but not the pants. They're all too short and I haven't seen capris...yet. Target's pants line doesn't fit me but I did just purchase a compression jacket that I love. My Kohls has such a limited plus size selection- I was just there too. I will have to check out JCPenney. I don't know how I had forgotten about them. I swear the plus size gals at the gym all have these great looking black capri pants that all look the same. I was convinced there was some secret pants club I wasn't invited to :cry:

    Surprisingly, Meijer has a pretty good plus size section when it comes to workout clothes. (if you have Meijer by you, It's a Midwest thing)

    I have a pair of Just My Size black capri leggings I bought at Walmart to wear under a dress. I've worn them a couple of times to work out and they're great. You can't see through them when you bend over and they don't stay damp after you sweat in them.

    Junonia!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE their workout clothes. I'm not into their regular clothes but they have this sweat/super cooling system in their workout clothes that is amazing. They're not cheap but I bought a pair of workout shorts years ago- still going strong.

    They also have the only swimming capri's I've found that I like. All the exercise- none of the chafe!

    I generally do Walmart for workout pants and Target for tops. I have found that my shape makes me shop different places. I'm a size 36G in bras so I get Enell sports bras online. There will be some trial and error bit don't give up.

    "Bump" or any other comment just causes the topic to go to the front of the list for the community section, so people don't have to sift through a bunch of topics to get to this one.

    Still haven't found workout capris. I'm so sick of wearing baggy sweats! :sad:

    Nike actually carries some of their work out gear in up to a 3X. A little on the pricey side but they guarantee their clothing and it lasts. This is just in case you are still looking.http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/legend-2-regular-fit-poly-training-capris/pid-673766/pgid-780535
