Before Choosing A Size

Fit starts with movement, not just measurements.

Activewear behaves differently from everyday clothing because stretch, compression, sweat, layering, and repeated motion all influence the final fit. Choose your size by combining body measurements with the garment purpose and the level of support you prefer.

01

Close fit should feel secure, never restrictive.

Leggings, sports bras, running tights, and fitted workout tops are designed to sit close to the body. A premium close fit should smooth and support without digging into the waist, flattening the chest uncomfortably, pulling at seams, or limiting full range of motion.

Stretch Recovery Clean Hold No Digging
02

Layering pieces need controlled ease.

Running jackets, windproof layers, hoodies, and oversized tees should allow breathing room over base layers while keeping the shoulder line structured and the hem intentional.

Layer Ready Refined Ease
03

When between sizes, match the activity.

Size down for a locked-in compression feel during high-intensity training. Size up for relaxed athleisure styling, longer layering, or a softer recovery-day profile.

Training Recovery
Measurement Method

Measure once, then choose by garment purpose.

Use a soft tape measure and keep the tape level. Measure over lightweight clothing or close to the body. For the most reliable fit, compare your bust, waist, hip, and inseam to the chart, then adjust based on compression preference.

B

Bust

Measure around the fullest part of the chest while keeping the tape straight across the back. This is essential for sports bras and fitted tops.

W

Waist

Measure the narrowest part of your torso. For leggings and tights, this helps determine waistband comfort and hold.

H

Hip

Measure around the fullest part of your hips and glutes. Prioritize this measurement for leggings, tights, and shorts.

I

Inseam

Measure from the inner thigh to the ankle. This helps decide whether a tight or legging length will feel cropped, standard, or full length.

Four-Step Fit Check

Use the body first, then the workout.

1
Start with your largest key measurement. If your waist and hip fall into different sizes for bottoms, prioritize hip for freedom of movement and waist for waistband preference.
2
Check the intended silhouette. Compression pieces are naturally closer. Oversized tees and athleisure hoodies are designed with more volume.
3
Consider fabric stretch and support. High-stretch pieces can feel smaller at first, then settle with movement. Structured layers should not pull across the shoulders.
4
Confirm comfort in motion. Squat, reach, twist, and bend. The right size stays smooth, stable, and comfortable without constant adjustment.
Performance Fit Language

Choose the feel that matches your movement.

Elevora activewear is designed across multiple fit intentions. A size that feels perfect in a hoodie may not be the same choice for a sports bra or running tight. Use these fit profiles to understand how each garment should sit on the body.

Compression Firm, supportive, close to body. Best for running tights, training leggings, and high-intensity sets.
Contoured Shaped but flexible. Best for workout tops, sports bras, and performance shorts.
Standard Athletic Clean structure with movement room. Best for jackets and windproof outer layers.
Relaxed Intentional volume with a polished drape. Best for hoodies and oversized tees.
Size Charts

Use inches as your primary fit reference.

Measurements below are body measurements, not garment measurements. If you prefer a sculpted training fit, choose the size closest to your measurements. If you prefer softer ease, choose the next size up when between sizes.

Tops, Sports Bras, Jackets, Hoodies

Use bust as the primary measurement for sports bras and fitted tops. Use bust and shoulder comfort for running jackets, windproof layers, and hoodies.

Size US Size Bust Waist Suggested Fit
XS 0–2 31–33 in 24–26 in Sculpted, close, light compression
S 4–6 34–36 in 27–29 in Secure athletic fit with clean shaping
M 8–10 37–39 in 30–32 in Balanced support and movement room
L 12–14 40–42 in 33–35 in Comfortable hold with refined ease
XL 16–18 43–46 in 36–39 in Supportive coverage with more room
XXL 20–22 47–50 in 40–43 in Relaxed support and full coverage

Leggings, Running Tights, Shorts

Use hip as the primary measurement for bottoms. Use waist to decide whether you want a tighter locked-in waistband or a more comfortable daily wear feel.

Size US Size Waist Hip Inseam Guide
XS 0–2 24–26 in 34–36 in Full length: 27–28 in
S 4–6 27–29 in 37–39 in Full length: 28–29 in

Sports Bra Support Reference

Sports bra sizing depends on bust, ribcage feel, and impact level. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller size for stronger compression or the larger size for lower-pressure comfort.

Fit Goal Recommended Feel Best For Size Advice
Light Support Smooth, flexible, minimal pressure Walking, stretching, studio days Choose regular size
Medium Support Secure hold with comfortable compression Training, cycling, gym workouts Choose regular size or size down if between
High Support Firm compression with reduced bounce Running, intervals, high-impact movement Prioritize snug band and stable coverage
All-Day Comfort Soft support with breathing room Travel, recovery, athleisure wear Size up if you dislike firm compression

01

Workout Tops

  • Choose your regular size for a contoured performance fit.
  • Size up for softer drape or low-intensity studio wear.
  • Shoulder seams should sit cleanly without pulling.
02

Training Leggings

  • Prioritize hip measurement for smooth stretch recovery.
  • Waistband should feel secure without rolling or digging.
  • Size down only if you want stronger compression.
03

Sports Bras

  • The band should feel stable and close to the ribcage.
  • Coverage should remain secure through jumping and reaching.
  • Choose more compression for high-impact activity.
04

Performance Shorts

  • Choose based on hip and thigh comfort.
  • Shorts should not pinch when squatting or sprinting.
  • Size up for a relaxed running or lounge profile.
05

Running Jackets

  • Compression should support muscles without restricting stride.
  • Check inseam for full-length or ankle-skimming preference.
07

Windproof Layers

  • Hem should stay positioned during running or walking.
  • Avoid sizing down if you need shoulder mobility.
08

Athleisure Hoodies

  • Choose regular size for a premium relaxed fit.
  • Size up for oversized styling and extra sleeve volume.

Between Sizes

Use the fit decision rule.

For compression leggings, sports bras, and running tights, choose the smaller size when you want firm support and the larger size when you want less pressure. For jackets, hoodies, windproof layers, and oversized tees, choose the larger size if you plan to layer or prefer a more relaxed editorial silhouette.

Fit Questions

Answers for a more confident size choice.

These questions are intentionally closed by default so the page remains clean and easy to scan. Open only the details you need.

Should I size up or down if I am between sizes?

For compression items such as leggings, sports bras, and running tights, choose the smaller size for a more locked-in feel or the larger size for softer comfort. For jackets, hoodies, and oversized tees, choose the larger size if you want layering room or a relaxed silhouette.

How should high-waisted leggings feel at the waistband?

The waistband should sit flat against the body and feel secure during squats, lunges, and running. It should not roll down, cut into the waist, or create discomfort when seated.

How do I choose a sports bra size for support?

Focus on band stability first. The band should sit close to the ribcage without shifting. For high-impact workouts, choose a firmer fit. For daily comfort or low-impact movement, choose your regular size or size up when between sizes.

Are oversized tees already designed with extra room?

Yes. Oversized tees are built with intentional volume through the chest and body. Choose your regular size for the intended oversized look, size down for a cleaner relaxed fit, or size up for a stronger street-athletic silhouette.

Should running jackets fit tight or loose?

A running jacket should feel streamlined but not tight. You should be able to swing your arms, zip the jacket comfortably, and wear a thin base layer underneath without pulling across the shoulders or chest.

What if my bust, waist, and hip fall into different sizes?

Choose based on the garment type. For tops and sports bras, prioritize bust and band comfort. For leggings, running tights, and shorts, prioritize hip first, then waist comfort. For outer layers, prioritize shoulder mobility and chest ease.

Do compression pieces stretch after wearing?

Performance fabrics may relax slightly with movement, but they should not feel painful or overly restrictive at first try-on. If seams pull, fabric becomes sheer, or movement feels limited, choose the next size up.

How do I keep the fit consistent after washing?

Wash performance apparel with similar colors, use cold water, avoid bleach, and air dry when possible. High heat can affect stretch recovery and may change the way fitted activewear sits on the body.
