Cheap plus size activewear sets vs mix & match

Searching for cheap plus size activewear sets is difficult when looking for plus size gym clothing. The best you can do is purchase the same colour top and bottoms from the same brand to achieve a seamless and stylish one logo look. 

But if you’re trying to save the pennies, we recommend purchasing a few plus size activewear items that you can mix & match. Mixing and matching offer more outfit combinations and from our selection of stylish brands, you’ll always look on-trend in the gym or working out. 

Opt for neutral colours that pair well with each other. Or if you choose a patterned t-shirt or bottoms, keep the other half more neutral and plain.

Make your activewear last with our top care tips.

If you want to make your activewear last as long as possible so you can save money by buying a new gym stash, follow our 9 top care tips.

  1. Read the care label. Always check and follow the care instructions on your activewear. 
  2. Separate colours. Separate vibrant, dark and white colours into different washes to prevent colour bleeding.
  3. Wash on a cold setting. Washing your activewear on a cold setting prevents colour fading and preserves elasticity.
  4. Gentle cycle. Washing your activewear on a delicate cycle prevents excessive friction and stretching. 
  5. Mild detergent. Use mild sports-friendly detergents that are free from harsh chemicals. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking properties of the fabric by leaving a residue. 
  6. Turn inside out. Before washing, turn your activewear inside out to protect the outer surface and any printed designs.
  7. Air dry. Lay flat or hang on a drying rack to maintain the garments’ shape. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as the heat can damage the elastic fibres. 
  8. Avoid sun exposure. Limit direct sunlight when drying as it can fade colours and weaken fabrics. 
  9. Store properly. Store your activewear in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving damp activewear in gym bags or laundry baskets, as it can lead to bacteria growth and unpleasant odours.
