Review: Lane Bryant LIVI Plus Size Activewear
One of the questions I get asked the most, is who makes the best plus size activewear? Great question. I wish I could give you a quick answer, but there isn't one. Why? Because different brands make different styles that work for different bodies. So I'm breaking down the brands that I know and love and giving you honest feedback about how the styles fit, who I think they work the best for, price point and overall satisfaction.First up? LIVI Active by Lane Bryant! We all know Lane Bryant. Chances are, you shop on in your area. But have you tried their activewear? Maybe not! First thing is first, check out this image from their new campaign. See what I see? Look at all these beautiful, varried,non-photoshoppedd bodies of different shapes and sizes and colors getting active. Yesss!!! When I first saw this? I cried. No joke.I reviewed the following styles:Signature Stretch Yoga Pants / Size 22/24 PetiteWicking Active Tee / Size 22/24Wicking Spacedye Active Tank / Size 22/24Wicking Spacedye Active Leggings / Size 22/24Wicking Active Jacket / Size 22/24Find the High-Impact No Wire Sports Bra / High Impact Molded Cup Sports Bra online here.Find the entire collection online here.
Final Verdict
Price Point: Moderate / $26 - $79Ideal Activity Level: Moderate. I would suggest using LIVI for light to moderate cardio, yoga and weight training. I did not find there to be enough compression for heavy cardio given the movement in my body due to size. I did find the styles comfortable for weight training, walking, resistance training, yoga and moderate cardio.Who Is This Workout Great Great For: This gear is great for someone who wants more coverage and shirts with longer length. Works great as athleisure styles to go from the gym to your errands. Some styles available in Tall and Petite.Favorite Style Not to Miss: Don't miss out on this Wicking Active Jacket, available for $69. It's a workhorse, great fit, good quality, great fabric. Got lots of compliments on it; easily my favorite piece of all the LIVI active styles I tried.Notes: Make sure to select carefully between wicking material and jersey so you get the styles you want! Order a few different sizes in the sports bras or try them on in store to purchase!https://www.instagram.com/p/BPMHL0hBqZK/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BPBKzMNBcfx Have you worn LIVI Activewear?
