Walking
Apple
When walking you want to feeel free to move and not restricted at all, especially around your mid section. So why not choose a flowing tunic, or something with a bit more room around the waist and tummy area? Pair with walking tights or slimline gym pants for a great flattering look.


 
1: Supre Fold Over Yoga Pant $55.00 from Supre
2: WESC Luella Loose Fit Hoodie from WESC Stockists
3: V Neck Top $22.00 from Supre
 
Pear
Bootleg workout pants are just as flattering as your fav bootleg jeans, pick them in a dark colour and then use a bright tone to lead the eye up. Stretch easy fit bands on workout pants will keep you super comfortabe.


 
1: Tencel Gather Neck Top AU$49.95 from Witchery
2: Adidas Womens Fuse Knit Pants from Adidas stockists
3: Cotton Jersey Headband US$8.00 from American Apparel
 
Hourglass
The stripe on the Clima pants lengthens the leg and helps balance out the curve, whilst layering black with grey slims the torso. When shopping for tanks remember to stick to styles that have thick bands over the shoulders to help give you that little extra bust support!


 
1: Sporte Racer Cut Tank $32.00 from Supre
2: Adidas Clima 365 gym kick pants from Adidas Stockists
3: California Fleece Zip Hoodie US$38.00 from American Apparel
 
Petite
Keep your little legs balanced with a great pair of cropped pants, or shorts. If you go with the shortie short styles choose a top with an oversized feel that still cuts off on the hipline to balance out your frame.


 
1: Mini Gym Shorts $25.00 from Supre
2: Cotton Wide Stripe Jersey Top USD$28.00 from American Apparel
3: Maniac Hoodie $185.00 from Sissy
 
Slim Athletic
I love the volume and texture of these pants from Rebel, which are perfect for adding a little curve to your slim frame. A good basic tee, in a great fabric will keep you comfortable whether walking or running.


 
1: Lonsdale Womens Pant $85.00 from Rebel Sport
2: Girls Sheep Tee $58.90 from Fourfontaine
3: Backless Hoodie $40.00 from Supre
 
Dancing
Apple
Go for long line oversized tanks that have a loose, almost dress like feel to give you ample movement and keep you comfortable. I love the Stella Adidas which you can layer or go up a size or two and use as a dress.


 
1: Stella Mcartney for Adidas Cover Up Top from selected Adidas Retailers
2: Adilibra Gym Pants from Adidas Retailers
3: Cascade Cardigan $35.00 from Valleygirl
 
Pear
The Kathryn Wilson high tops are a cute take on the casual sneaker, and great for a light hip hop class or walking to and from the studio. The dress brings the focus up from hips and thighs.


 
1: Fine Jersey Racer Back Dress US$32.00 from American Apparel
2: Stretch Terry Legging US$38.00 from American Apparel
3: Abbey High Top from Kathryn Wilson
 
Hourglass
A leotard allows you to show off your best assets whilst also keeing them firmly in place! This open back version is a little sexy too, pair it with your favourite loose fit pants or a great little skirt. Don’t forget the legwarmers!


 
1: Open Back Mock Turtle Leotard from Dancer
2: Mini Skirt with front Detail $45.00 from Supre
3: Stella Mcartney for Adidas Light Clay Legwarmer from selected Adidas Stockists
 
Petite
The little shorty dress are part top part dress, either layer over leggings or with shorts. I love this dress from Adidas because it moves with you, and its shorter length is flattering on your petite frame.

 
1: Adidas Fuse Image Dress from Adidas Stockists
2: Casual Mini Shorts $35.00 from Supre
3: Womens Zip Up $47.96 from Four Fontaine
 
Slim Athletic
Go with something fun like an all in one, and create some curve and be practical all at once! This halter neck version from Supre would look just as cute with a tank layered underneath for warming up!


 
1: Halter Neck Jumpsuit $55.00 from Supre
2: Cascade front Cardigan $45.00 from Valleygirl
3: Canvas Bag US$30.00 from American Apparel
 
Yoga
Apple
The skinny legs of the Asics fitness tights show off your slim pins whilst the stretchy fabric keeps firm around your mid section. Mix it up with a great long tank and make sure to take something to keep you warm before and after your yoga session.


 
1: Asics Fitnesds ¾ $80.00 from Asics stockists
2: Stacy Top $135.00 from Sissy
3: Stripe Hooded Knit Cardigan $99.95 from Witchery
 
Pear
Balance off the hips and thighs by drawing the eye up to your gorgeous face, this lightly detailed top from Rebel sports is the perfect thing. Whilst the stretch fabric means you can move with ease.


 
1: Kate Pant in Smoke US$60.00 from Karmaloop
2: Asana Womens African Violet Top $65.00 from Rebel Sports
3: Haviana Crystal Slim Lites from Havianna
 
Hourglass
Hide any problem areas with a longer top or a little bit of creative ruching. These yoga pants are perfect for showing off your best assets whilst hiding those your maybe not that comfortable about. Pair with a great loose cardi to complete the look.


 
1: Long Lotus Pants $99.00 from Bryony Yoga Clothing
2: Lux Roots Racer Back Tank US$14.00 from Karmaloop
3: Loose Cardi US$129.00 from Metallicus
 
Petite
A fun little print in a light tone paired with a light toned work out tight ticks all the monochromatic boxes and lengthens your body out. More importantly the stretch fabrics accomidate your sometimes slim sometimes curvy frame, and the shorter leg length cuts off in just the right place.


 
1: Ice Cream Dream Singlet $24.90 from Four Fontaine
2: Leluu Womens Workout Tight $55.00 from Rebel Sports
3: Loop Terry Hoodie $55.00 from American Apparel
 
Slim Athletic
The lazy short not only gives you ample room to move and bend (downward dog should be a breeze!), but they also add some curve to your straight up and down figure. The hat tank from the Wild Pair is really on trend but the light weight fabric should keep you cool.


 
1: Vicky Lazy Short $49.95 from James and August
2: Hat Tank $40.00 from Wild Pair
3: Gone With the Wind Track Jacket US$70.00 from Karmaloop
