Livi Active by Lane Bryant

Since I began blogging, I can easily say my style has changed by leaps and bounds. I remember 4 years ago when I didn’t own a single pair of trainers, and now I would be lost without them. My go-to for comfort was a dress, but now I am most comfortable when I look like I’m headed straight to the gym (even if I’m not, which is usually.)

I’m glad that more brands are embracing this casual, stylish, lifestyle-like clothing for the plus size community. One of the newer, more exciting active wear lines is by an old faithful for the plus community, Lane Bryant. Their new line, Livi Active, is meant to be “like a second skin” and perfect for performance, on the go, and lounge wear.

I was lucky enough to get this set of clothing gifted to me by Lane Bryant to include in my series of Curvy Girl Workout Gear and to share with you all! Check out all the pieces, my honest opinions, and information on them below.

My overall experience with the Livi Active line is positive. Lane Bryant has a BIG job to do in catering to plus sized ladies from teen to retirement, so it’s nice that they thought of the active portion with this launch. You can see my thoughts and ideas on specific pieces below, as well as links to each product so you can easily locate them. I recommend that you go check out this line in-store if you’re curious!

• LIVI ACTIVE LOGO TEE
  • (Wearing 22/24) This t-shirt is so comfortable, soft, and adorable. When I selected it, I really wanted something to show off the brand to you guys, but out of all the pieces I received, this is my favorite. It’s a very flattering shirt in how it’s shaped. The one and only think that might be nice is a tiny bit longer sleeves. Overall- an awesome t-shirt!
• TRUDRY MOCK NECK ACTIVE JACKET
  • (Wearing 22/24) This jacket is another hit! Personally, track jackets are a favorite, and it’s difficult to locate one (even in plus size) that fits when it’s zipped up. This one is a great fit and is comfortable. Also, the color of this jacket is SUCH a stunner! It shows up my eyes for which is bluer, and it matches the logo tee perfectly.
• SIGNATURE STRETCH FLORAL CAPRI LEGGING
  • (Wearing 20/22) Originally, I wanted the galaxy pants, but they were sold out!! :( I hope they get them back in stock so I can snag those up. These were my second choice, and they fit really well. They come up high on my waist so I don’t have to worry about them falling down or needing to readjust throughout my workout or anything. I wore them last night to just lounge around on the couch and they were just as comfortable then as they are when I’m being active. The flowers are an AWESOME print too. (In case you love it, they also have shorts and a top in this print too!)

• MOLDED UNDERWIRE SPORT BRA
  • (Wearing 44DDD) Of all the pieces I received from the Livi Active line, the only one I didn’t get on with was this bra. Do NOT get me wrong, it is a great quality, incredibly supportive and well thought out design! The bra seems so run a bit small, though. I ordered a 42D. (I usually wear 42D or 44C.) When I tried it on it didn’t fit in the slightest (except in the cup.) When I went online to see if I could swap for possibly a 44D or 46D, they didn’t have them in this style. I went to the store, and they didn’t have any of them except for 1- a 44DDD. I picked it up, and it fits pretty well! I still wish I had a 46 band, but this size still works pretty well. The straps adjust up and down in the back for a better, more stable fit, which is VERY nice. Long story short: I recommend this bra, but ONLY if you try them on for the perfect fit. Don’t expect your regular size to fit you in this style.
