Finding activewear for big men that are functional but still look great can be quite the challenge. But thankfully, baggy t-shirts and unflattering joggers are a thing of the past as big and tall retailers have worked hard to give us big men clothing that fits in all the right places, without making us look like a bag of potatoes.
We all know that what you wear can make or break your performance when training, both on and off the pitch. Too tight and it rides up in all of the wrong places, meaning you spend your time focusing on pulling that tee right back down. Too baggy and it’s falling down and you’re spending all your time pulling your trousers back up. Sound familiar? We’ve teamed up with BigClothing4U to chat about the best activewear for big men, so you can focus on your A-game as we return to the pitch.
Uptheir Rave Joggers – Olive
£22.99 | Sizes 2XL – 8XL
The Uptheir Thor joggers are great for big men getting into running, as the elasticated waist and drawstring allows for a comfortable fit that doesn’t ride down when gaining pace. The breathable material offers form-fitting freedom with a physique enhancing cuff for an on-trend edge.
Plus, Uptheir’s range of joggers have been stress-tested by strongman Laurence Shahlaei, so you know they’re going to serve you well, even through the most gruelling training session.
These joggers also come in black and grey.
Kam Casual Jogger Shorts Contrast Waistband – Black
£22.99 | Sizes 3XL – 8XL
These durable jogger shorts from Kam offer lightweight support for flexible movement and breathability. With roomy pockets and a bold logo print, the Kam casual men’s gym shorts can seamlessly go from beast-mode to relaxing with friends in a matter of minutes.
Uptheir Rocco Zip Through Hooded Gilet – Burgundy Black
£26.99 | Sizes 2XL – 8XL
Although summer is on the way, the spring breeze can also be quite chilly when doing low impact training outdoors. For an added layer without boiling over, we recommend a gilet. This Uptheir gilet is cut from a cotton blend material for ultimate breathability, with added pouch pockets and zip through design.
Also available in navy and grey
Uptheir Lion Cut & Sew Tee with Branded Tape – Black White
£17.99 | Sizes 2XL – 8XL
The Uptheir Lion Cut & Sew T-Shirt has been designed to fit big men comfortably. Most big men struggle to find t-shirts that are scaled to fit big stomachs – instead finding they’re too short, leaving them fitting uncomfortably and leaving the wearers stomach on show.
Not so with this t-shirt, which won’t ride up over your belly when running. Another plus is that the 100% cotton material is breathable to keep you cool while you’re working up a sweat.
Blend Cut & Sew Elasticated Knitted Hoody – Blue
£34.99 | Sizes 3XL – 6XL
There’s nothing worse than a hoodie that’s just not designed for big men. Many retailers will just scale up a product, leaving the arms too baggy, too long or even too tight. BigClothing4U’s team have handpicked brands that create well-fitted clothing – take this Blend hoodie as an example: well fitted for the big man, with an elastic waistband, cuffs and enough room around the stomach area.
Bench Lightweight Drawstring Bag – Black
£4.99 | One Size
Need something for your gym kit? Look no further. This Bench lightweight gym bag is perfect to carry your football boots, a spare pair of clothes or a drink or two for those gruelling workouts. Plus at £4.99 it’s a bit of a steal!
Uptheir Metal Reusable Water Bottle – Black
£18.99 | One Size
Stay hydrated with Uptheir. BigClothing4U’s range of reusable water bottles have been ergonomically designed for easy handling, spill-free drinking and they fit most cup holders – making it the perfect travel companion to keep your drinks cool when on-the-go.
