Academy Sports –
This definitely the number one pick, mainly because they are an actual athletic wear company, so they do make better clothing for athletic use than other companies. It is very high quality material, and affordable at the same time.
Academy has a large selection of plus size exercise clothing, both for men and women. Which is a plus considering that some athletic wear companies only do one or the other. (Which really doesn’t make sense to me at all personally)
As a bonus, Academy runs lots of great deals every once in awhile on their website. So definitely keep them in mind. Even though, their prices are already more than affordable, especially for what you get.
TJMAXX –
People SLEEP on tj maxx. Honestly, the amount of good plus size (up to 7xl sometimes) is seriously just unbelievable.
I pretty much always find something whenever I go there, and it’s usually a BARGAIN. Everything at this store always seems to be on sale. My girlfriend can’t seem to stay away.
The best reason why this store is so good for plus size exercise clothes?
Is honestly because of how consistent it is, and how inexpensive they are. I literally always find something there. Plus, when it’s inexpensive it’s not as big of a deal because you know you’ll be messing it up anyways (since it is exercise clothes)
Also, the nice thing about tjmaxx is that you can return them as well if you don’t like it in the store. Rather than having to send it back online which is a headache.
Definitely worth checking out. Even if not for clothes! They have other awesome stuff there as well.
Ross –
Another VERY underrated and overlooked place to buy plus size clothing. I consistently find great plus size clothing at Ross, just like at TJMAXX. It’s always a ridiculously good deal, and it’s always good stuff as well.
People really have no idea what they’re missing at Ross.
Also you HAVE TO KNOW THIS.
On certain days of the week they will drastically discount stuff. I mean DRASTICALLY. I’ve found brand new clothing there for literally just a couple bucks. If you ask the managers they are usually able to help you with finding out when the markdowns will be. Ps: The end of season markdowns are completely insane.
The best reason you should shop there?
A lot of the clothes there are very very inexpensive. So you don’t have to worry if your going to end up messing up your clothes you’re going to workout in.
Lane Bryant-
Yes, they can be more expensive…….but Lane Bryant’s quality and selection make it worth it. They have some of the highest quality exercise clothing for plus size people. Unfortunately however, this only includes women and not men.
Lane Bryant also does lots of sales. So be on the lookout!
Again, unfortunately this company as of the time this was written doesn’t have men’s exercise clothes.
Torrid –
High quality, and durable – Torrid is always a great brand for plus size people in general. Their exercise clothes however are fantastic. A lot better quality than many of the other plus size exercise brands out there.
They do come with a higher price tag than most, so be aware. The nice thing however is there are physical torrid locations. So if the times allow, you can try on whatever clothing you’re looking for – before you buy it. This is a HUGE plus.
Torrid also has a very large selection of exercise clothes, so that is a major plus.
Please Read: Unfortunately torrid does not carry any men’s exercise clothing currently. Only women’s.
Target –
Surprise! Yes, target does carry plus size clothing now………and surprisingly it is very very high quality. Maybe not as nice as a designer brands, or an athletic brands…….but still target exercise clothes are great for plus size people.
Unfortunately however, target isn’t the absolute best place for plus size clothing because of one major flaw…..
Their plus sizes don’t go up that high. So, even though they now carry plus sizes, unfortunately you still might not be able to fit into them.
Everything else about them though?
Fantastic. It’s all higher quality than you’d expect and is very reasonably priced.
Anyways, I doubted you needed an excuse to go to target……but here’s yours!
Amazon –
The reason why amazon made the list?
Their selection is absolutely MASSIVE. I mean it’s seriously insane how many plus size exercise clothes you can find on this site. You could literally spend hours and hours and hours going through every single piece of clothing, and still barely scratch the surface. Amazon. Has. Everything.
Another reason I chose this –
Amazons reviews make the process much easier in selecting what you want. You can easily tell when an item fits to big or to small……simply from reading the reviews.
As larger people this is just so helpful. Mainly because we simply have more needs than others when it comes to our clothing.
Seriously check out amazon if you have the time. Absolutely incredible selection for plus size people there.
Old Navy –
Honestly, I haven’t tried any old navy clothes ever for exercise……..but people online everywhere rant and rave about how good they are. So I had to add them in this list. In the future, I’m definitely going to go and try them out and see how good they are!
Taking a look at their website, it all looks very high quality and Has great pricing.
What you should know:
Most of the ranting and raving I saw online about old Navy was because of their leggings.
Also fun fact about Old Navy:
They run TONS of awesome sales. Every year I go and get their one dollar fuzzy socks.
Wal Mart –
Surprisingly! Wal Mart now carries plus size clothes. And they’re surprisingly nice, and very inexpensive.
There’s a pretty good selection online, but unfortunately they’re a little harder to find in the store. I’ve seen their selection online though, and it looks great.
Reason they’re on this list?
I found a lot of comments online saying how surprised they were at the quality. Honestly, if they’re as good as the comments say I’m definitely going to get some when I find it. Plus, they’re super inexpensive! Which is always a plus, especially when you’re going to tear them up a bit since they’re exercise clothes.
You should know:
While these clothes are plus size, they don’t go up in size as much as you’d expect. So they might not fit if you’re on the larger end of plus size.
Kohl’s –
Kohl’s has a ton of great options when it comes to plus size clothes. They’re not my personal favorite, but a lot of people do love to shop there for their exercise clothes.
What I will say though, and the reason they made the list…….
They are VERY inexpensive. Absolutely huge value when it comes to plus size clothing. Not very many plus size clothing companies have the deals like Kohl’s do. In fact, I’d say that most dont. At the very least they’re worth checking out.
