These Are the Comfiest Workout Leggings and Shorts For Curves

For a pop of colour, opt for these bike shorts by Australian brand Salt and Ripple. They go up ’til size XL and feature a triangle panel and no front seam which eliminates the camel toe. They also have a hidden waistband pocket, so you can keep your keys with you at all times.

Under Armour’s Women’s UA RUSH SmartForm Ankle Leggings (now $96, was $120) has material that wicks sweat and dries fast, as well as seam placement that eliminates pressure points and chafing. Its high-rise waistband forms to your shape and moves with you and, helpfully, it has pockets where you can keep your keys or ID if you go for a run. The leggings go from XS to XXL.

No joke, these are the best leggings I’ve ever owned.

The Bondi Active Be Active All Day Tights in Black ($90) only have limited sizing (up to a size L), but let me tell you — the sizing in generous and the tights are stretchy AF.

The V-shaped waistband and four-way stretch sees me LIVING in these leggings on the daily, whether around the house or to a pilates class. They look hot, trust me.

These Classic V Leggings in Black ($79.95) from Australian brand, Bambine Body, are really flattering. The V-line waist accentuates your curves by going down in the middle, cinching the waist and hugging the hips.

These Essential Easy Leggings in Black ($79.95) are a great basic. Being super high-waisted, they’ll make you feel sculpted and supported while you do your workout.

If you love activewear with funky colours and jazzy patterns, Moana Smile Club has got the goods. I’m particularly obsessed with the Infinity Bike Short ($90) and all its rainbow goodness (mostly because I can walk around looking like a rainbow paddle pop).

These shorts range from XS to 3XL. And good news! Most of the Moana Smile Club collection is squat-proof and offers some UV protection (though, it goes without saying, you should still apply SPF).

Love wearing matching sets? You can grab the Busy Bee 2.0 Sports Bra ($89) to complete the look.

These Sweetheart V2 Highwaisted Leggings ($57.99) range from an XS – XXL.

With its side pockets, tummy control high waistband, high quality and squat proof material, the collection has been a cult favourite within the TwoTags community. Shop here.

TwoTags also have incredible sports bras, just FYI. This new Breathe Sports Bra ($59.99), as part of their latest capsule collection. Made from their signature comfy af SKINLUX fabric, they go up to size XXL. You can shop here.

For Pilates, yoga and active weekend wear, look no further than these Boody High-Waist Full Length Tights 2.0 (on sale $29.95).

They feature a wide waistband, curved panel shaping at the back and are made with organically-grown bamboo.

Not only are these Active Truth Training Pocket 7/8 Length Tight ($65.99) are comfy, but they’re super size inclusive. Active Truth creates styles for pregnant babes, as well as going up to a size 3XL. They also come in tall and short styles to cater for all bodies.

From XXS to 3XL, Bamboo Body’s Soft Bamboo Leggings ($59.95) are not only super comfortable and soft, but also cater to changing bodies and bodies with curves.

The classic Signature Full Length Tight ($99.95) from DK Active is the OG great pair of leggings for curvy babes — I have a pair of these myself and they’re epic! They’re tight enough to make you feel secure but not too tight that it hurts every time you bend… if you know, you know.

Although these Ultra Soft Brushed Thermal Leggings ($54.99) only go up to an XXL, they’re generous in sizing, and super soft and malleable to your booty shape. They’re the perfect leggings to wear underneath trackies to stay warm in winter, or even to do a soft workout in. The ideal winter yoga pant, TBH.

Surprisingly, these Tommy Jeans Curve Tape Logo Leggings ($129) are super comfortable for curves, and have that added element of style you often don’t find within curve activewear. These could work for a casual brunch look, with some platform runners or slides (like pictured), as well as the bottom half of a cute AF gym outfit. Love.
