'Cause activewear goes beyond size.
The struggle is real, and we hear you: finding stylish threads that actually fit your curves is quite a challenge in Singapore. But with the increased availability of sizes over UK 16/US 14, we’re giving a round of applause to fashion labels championing body diversity. Activewear is no exception either; with the likes of Instagram yoga stunner Jessamyn Stanley regularly smashing stereotypes, it’s proven that athleticism comes in all shapes and sizes. To maximise a great workout in comfort and style, check out these stores for the best plus size supporting sports bras, breathable tank tops and leggings for different lengths.
