Just that really

I'm a size 22. Can't believe I've got to this state but I really want to put it right. I like(ed) the gym, so want to get back into it.

With me now being a size 22, I'm finding it difficult sourcing decent gym stuff. Not asking too much just joggers and a baggy t shirt.

Any ideas, tried supermarkets Matalan ètc but no luck

ASOS - they have 20% off today with code BANKHOL

JD Williams do good branded sportswear for plus sizes and often voucher codes / discounts for signing up. Great for gym trousers.

H&M - despite their notorious sizing, their casual joggers in XL lasted so well in the gym and came in a range of colours; affordable too.

Supermarket ranges like Tu and George are worth a look too, had success for casual light cotton / gym tops.

Thanks folks managed to get a leggings and t-shirt for £18.50 from a tesco on way home from work this morning.

I used to buy a lot from Tesco when I could look online however as I don't do my weekly shop there anymore, I can't remember last time I bought clothes from there.

I wonder how much impact taking down the tesco direct site has had on their clothing range ?

I came on to say Sainsburys - I've had a pair of their leggings for 18 months, worn every second or third day, and they still look like new.

Interested in this thread?

The Tesco gym clothes goes up to 2xl and is big l was a size 20 and took the xl back for a large. I am sure the were only £12ish pound and much better than leggings. I don’t buy them anywhere.

Sorry just looked at my receipt £16 they aren’t joggers they are like sports leggings.

solongtoshort yeah it was the gym leggings I got . Just picked up 2xl as I'm a size 20/22 and thought that would be the equivalent. Not tried them on yet tho

Asos and Very both sell the Nike plus size range and it's really very good! I'm a 22 and wear 2xxl.

I also came on to say Lands' End Starfish range, they are really thick and soft and don't roll down at the waist on me. I have just bought myself some more pairs of their slim leg trousers and leggings because I'm not in the UK and I'm buying things to tide me over in case of the worst case scenario Brexit. Also, men's t-shirts are good for the gym. They are longer and tend to be straight down rather than tapered towards the waist. They are usually thicker/heavier cotton too. I also wear a man's zip up hoodie, I need to roll the cuffs on that as the arms are a bit too long.
