2026 Plus Size Activewear Trends: The Bold, the Bright & the Beautiful
If 2025 was the year plus size activewear started getting noticed, 2026 is the year it fully arrived. Gone are the days of settling for black leggings and a plain sports bra. This year, curvy women are leading the charge in bold prints, maximalist color, and activewear that makes a statement before you even break a sweat.

1. Artistic & Abstract Prints Are Everywhere
The number one trend of 2026? Prints that look like wearable art. Think swirling blobs, geometric bursts, tropical florals, and painterly patterns that turn your workout outfit into a conversation starter.
Our Prism Bold Print Plus Size Leggings and Remi Blob Print Pocket Leggings are perfect examples — bold, unapologetic, and designed to flatter curves.
2. Flare Leggings Are Back (and Better Than Ever)
The flare silhouette has made a massive comeback in 2026. Flattering on every body type, flare leggings elongate the leg and add a retro-chic energy to any workout look.
Try our Dot Drama Plus Size Flare Leggings or the Neon Bloc Flare Leggings for a look that's equal parts retro and fresh. Shop All Flare Leggings →
3. Tropical & Nature-Inspired Prints
Jungle prints, tropical florals, and safari-inspired patterns are dominating activewear in 2026. These prints bring an adventurous, free-spirited energy that pairs perfectly with the outdoor fitness lifestyle.
Our Safari Rave Plus Size Leggings and Tropical Print Plus Size Leggings are two of our bestsellers for exactly this reason.
4. Pockets Are Non-Negotiable
In 2026, women are done with leggings that don't have real pockets. Deep, functional pockets that actually hold your phone, keys, and cards are now a must-have feature.
Our Wildbloom Pocket Leggings and Roux Swirl Print Pocket Leggings deliver on both style and function. Shop All Pocket Leggings →
5. Yoga & Low-Impact Styles Are Getting a Glow-Up
Yoga wear is no longer an afterthought. In 2026, yoga leggings are getting the same bold print treatment as high-impact styles.
The Mavi Blob Print Yoga Leggings are a standout — soft enough for your morning flow, bold enough to wear all day.
6. Matching Sets Are the Move
Head-to-toe coordinated sets are the defining activewear look of 2026. The continuous print from chest to ankle creates the most flattering silhouette for plus size bodies.
The Safari Rave Matching Set is the most impactful. Shop All Matching Sets →
