The 17 Best Plus-Size Workout Clothes For All Your Sweat Sessions

This underwire sports bra lets you adjust the front panel to hook higher or lower onto its straps for various degrees of stabilization (bye bounce!), and its unique padded underwire ensures that the only thing you feel is support. Adjustable back straps and a hook-and-eye closure ensure just the right fit, while moisture-wicking mesh accelerates your cooldown. “This sports bra is the real deal,” a shopper wrote. “I jogged on the treadmill for 30 minutes and felt fine afterwards; in a normal, stretchy sports bra, my entire chest and upper back would be hurting.” Shopping on a budget? Also consider the brand’s wireless sports bra, which has a cult following and a slightly lower price point.

These plus-size mesh leggings have racked up over 2,000 Amazon ratings for their subtle style and workout-ready practicality. Offering both compression and comfort, they’re made from a moisture-wicking polyester performance blend with mesh panels that are nice and breathable but honestly, also just look cool as hell. Plus, there are flatlock seams throughout for a smooth, sturdy feel. Two pockets are deep enough for your phone and a pair of keys for going hands-free, and reviewers raved that the waistband didn’t roll down. “These are the best yoga/workout pants I've ever purchased,” one shopper declared. “The fit is perfect [...] There's even a little extra reinforcement in the thigh area, which is great...I already have several pairs, but will be purchasing more!”

Because you never need just one workout tank top, stock up with this budget-friendly pack and you’ll be set for a while. They have a pretty gathered detail between the shoulder blades and come in a good selection of colorways whether you’re team neutral or team neon, all made from 60% cotton blended with polyester to be breathable and colorfast (although it’s worth noting that for your sweatiest workouts you may want to forgo these in favor of the more moisture-wicking performance tee below). That said, the lightweight burnout style will feel extra airy, but you can also score them in solids if you hate anything semi-sheer. “I have had these tank tops for about a year...still thrilled with them and will continue to purchase,” one shopper gushed. “They can be dolled up with a couple cute accessories for going out, worn for working out, yard work and gardening and are perfect for sleep wear! The fabric is super soft and it is on the thinner side, making these tops cool and comfortable in the heat.”

For extra shoulder coverage on sunny days (or just being in no mood for a tank) this moisture-wicking tee feels light and dry in a polyester-elastane blend designed for movement (and that fans report washes up incredibly well). It falls to the low hip so it works with shorts or leggings, and a scooped crewneck will feel nonrestrictive through any type of workout. “For being soft and lightweight, the material is very sturdy and will hold up to multiple washes. Its thicker than I expected but still lightweight. Not see through, not clingy, not baggy. Overall one of my best clothing online purchases,” a reviewer praised.

This lightweight track jacket will keep you cool and covered in a moisture-wicking polyester blend, but the real MVP is a series of reflective stripes on the wrists and back for safe visibility in low light. Raglan sleeves give you extra range of motion through the shoulders, and the stand collar features a soft tab at the top to protect your skin when it’s fully zipped. The two front patch pockets are plenty deep to hold the essentials (phone and hands) when you’re out and about. “I wanted something thin/lightweight with pockets and no hood. This checks all those boxes. It's the right warmth for mild weather; not as warm as a hoodie...The material is super soft, too,” a fan pointed out. “Love at first wear. Perfect for my needs. I highly recommend.”

If you are looking for a hood, don’t sleep on this sleek crossneck option from a different brand.

Removable cups are there if you want even more coverage, and there are a couple of cute strap options to choose from, like the criss-cross one featured here, a modified version with a T-back or even ones with more geometric straps. “The bra arrived in new, pristine condition and appears to be very well made,” a fan remarked. “As far as functionality on a spin bike — absolutely NO bounce.”

Never have to worry about my phone popping out or where I’m going to put it,” a reviewer wrote. “I have this brand and style in 3 different colors. Highly recommend.”

These running shorts have all the features you need to hit a new PR. They’re built to be ultra-lightweight with a relatively short inseam (just over three inches) so they won’t hold you back on your runs. Contrast panels on each side, made of tricot, are a little more breathable and just as moisture-wicking as the rest of the polyester shell, and add a little bit of style to the retro gym short. Hidden inside their elastic waist is an adjustable drawstring, plus a built-in brief that wicks away sweat and is more comfortable when you’re logging miles. “These are great. The legs are roomy without being huge and they fit comfortably on my waist. They're a good length too. I don't feel like I have to constantly pull them down in between my legs,” a fan reported, and multiple shoppers compared them favorably to Nike.

Alo Yoga makes a similar top, but this affordable crop tee by Core 10 comes in a hard-to-find short sleeve cut made from high-quality cotton. Pima cotton is blended with modal and elastane to be lightweight, breathable, and absorbent (although not moisture-wicking); plus it’s stretchy and sooo soft. The crop length isn’t extremely short and will cover a longer sports bra with extra length in the back that almost meets your leggings. “Great plus size option,” one fan wrote. “Can I just say how hard it is to find a crop top that extends pass your chest when you’re an H cup! They look great with skirts and pants for that high waisted look. I’ve bought almost every color and will definitely double up on the basics.”

These cute yoga pants are stretchy enough for downward-facing dog, thanks to a good dose of spandex, but they’re mostly cotton and so comfortable you’ll probably use them as loungewear equally often. The foldover waistband can be worn high or flipped down to reveal a pop of color, and the female-founded brand manufactures all of their products in sunny Los Angeles if you like to vote with your wallet. “These pants are perfection,” a shopper gushed. “The material is thick enough to not be see through, the waist is comfortable, and they are long enough. I originally bought two pairs. I'm up to 6 pairs now. I never want to wear any other pants.”

A fleece jacket is sporty by nature, but a lot more subtle than a hoodie when you want something easy that will look just as stylish with jeans. The Amazon Essentials zip-up is made from mid-weight polar fleece with a stand collar and two secure zip pockets. The contoured side seams give it a tailored rather than boxy look. (Bonus: there are two deep pockets hidden inside for extra storage.) Wear it to the gym, as a base layer for hiking, or with a shirt and Bean boots at the farmer’s market. It’s that versatile. “I love this jacket, it is perfect for quick trips. Warm and soft, and cozy. Big zipper pockets are perfect for keeping you phone and keys safe. Nice and warm for your hands.
