What do plus size teachers wear for PE??

I work in primary so sometimes need to teach PE, however I have no athletic wear I feel is appropriate for work or I would feel comfortable in. I'm a size 20 and I just think if I wear tracksuit trousers I look fat and lazy.

I usually wear dresses in flattering shapes with tights or leggings underneath. There's nothing flattering on my body about stretchy trousers and a top and I feel so uncomfortable in clothes like that especially in front of colleagues. Any advice on what to wear?

(To be clear, I'm not saying no one my size should wear these outfits, everyone's body shape is different and I just feel uncomfortable in these clothes!)

I'm that size and wear capri leggings and a top that covers my tummy/bum when I do fitness classes

Look at curvissa for tops/leggings

Adidas do plus size clothes - I wear their jogging bottoms.

Boohoo curve have a nice range of plus size workout clothes, I've ordered some so fingers crossed!

Canterbury tracksuit bottoms are your friend
