I’m always in search of fashion-forward, luxe activewear, but it’s practically impossible to find. You can imagine how I felt learning that lucy activewear was launching its first plus-size collection and its #lucyForEveryBody campaign. This definitely fits my body-positive approach to health and fitness, which I find so much more empowering than the alternative. Plus, these activewear pieces are simply beautiful.
For me, the true test of stylish activewear is whether I want to wear it even when I’m not working out. Suffice to say: oh my gosh, guys. I’m wearing the Yoga Girl Tunic and the Do Everything Pant in a dressed up sporty look. I’m in love.
This collection includes tees, tanks, tunics, leggings, yoga pants, and wraps, and is available in sizes 1X-3X. My favorite thing about this collection? They didn’t just size up their straight-size collection. It was made specifically for plus-size women’s bodies, tested, and perfected with feedback. That’s what really sets these clothes apart. I mean, just look at the tailoring of these pants!
Here’s how you can get two outfits from the same pieces. For a workout, wear the top untucked, with sneakers, and your hair in a bun. A simple change of accessories: trading sneakers for sandals and a gym bag for a cross-body and there you go, instant chic.
Having activewear was one of my first steps in getting active a little over a year ago. It seems simple, but having the clothes and tools you need really help put you in an active mindset and ready to crush your training set, get that run in, hike that hill, or bliss out in yoga.
Approaching fitness from a plus-size perspective is incredibly important to me. Entering this space can make many of us feel intimidated; I know I was. But it’s truly improved the quality of my life in so many ways and I want everyone who wants to do this to be able to do it.
- I love feeling strong in my body.
- I love that working out eases stress and gives me a sense of balance.
- I love the peaceful glow after vinyasa yoga.
- I love pushing my boundaries.
- I love reaching a new goal, but I love consistency just as much.
- I love work(outs,) but I also love play.
- I love my body, but I also know that I’m much more than my body.

Plus sized and newly minted gym addict here. I started lifting last month and I love how strong and powerful if makes me feel!
There is a store that I go there to look around when I walk to the town center. Everything is so nice and comfy it makes you want to get moving. I’m starting to feel better after a long time, and wow, when you have had to lay down a lot you gain weight, and it all goes where you don’t want it to. But it is good to be out and walking, I’d love to have a few nice things from Lucy to look good, too.
It’s good to see a well thought out plus size active wear line. I was just browsing at the workout tees and the studio hatha capris. Hopefully all the patterns and colors will be available in extended sizes as well?
Me too! I definitely understand when a brand starts a new size range as an extension on its core product line, which this is. But this is also useful feedback for any brand entering plus-sizes. I’m personally hoping for some cute graphic tees. I love the “focus” one from the straight-sized line.
Loooove your pants – they’re gorgeous on you! And thanks for hosting such an amazing giveaway! xoxo
I love that Lucy encourages women of all sizes to be active and helps them look cute and be confident doing it.
Is it online only though? I’m so damn tired of being told to keep my body out of stores.
I don’t know the answer to this, but I’ll ask. I feel you though, I like shopping online for convenience but miss the in-store experience. In the meantime I’ll say I thought the clothes were true to size, which I mention since that’s always on my mind when I shop online.
I asked the brand rep and got this info! The lucy plus-size collection will be at select lucy stores (they recommend calling ahead to check.) The info about the stores that do carry the plus size line should be on the website within the next few weeks. Hope this helps! x
So, I used to wear old tshirts and leggings to the gym. But not that this brand has created and curated specific peices for the gym. I love it. My confidence is high, now it will sky-rocket!
Love the way you put this outfit together! These pieces can be dressed up or down. You killed it! #yasqueen
it inspires me to wear clotehs i wouldnt cause they make me feel good about myself
I love feeling strong and invincible when I’m lifting weights. I love surprising people when they learn that I’m a competitive powerlifter because I can tell that my plus-size body defies what they picture in their head as an “active female”.
Lucy pants are amazing! And Jay looks so amazing in these, I need my own pair!
Your cute outfit is inspiring me to go shopping at lucy Activewear! I could live in the Destination Anywhere Dress and Studio Hatha Capri Legging. Thank you so much for offering such a generous giveaway and introducing me to such a great company. I had never heard of lucy Activewear until this post.
So glad that brands are expanding into this market! We need more plus-size active wear options that work for your walk to and from the gym as well as what you do there!
Love those pants and that you’re able to dress them up! I wouldn’t have been creative enough to put that together, thanks for the inspiration! Lucy Activewear definitely inspires me to feel comfortable no matter what size I am, especially after just having a baby!
As a plus size woman I love the fact that these look great and like they fit the body well to help you become/ stay active!
Love the look and style
