Body confidence can feel and look different on everybody, but I believe that the most important element, and something that has a big impact on my confidence levels, is being able to feel at home in your body and to be kind to yourself on the days that you don’t.
Clothes and how I feel in them have a huge effect on how confident I’m going to feel, and, as I’m sure many women can relate, that will change on a day-to-day basis. Some days I will want to conquer the day in a full glam outfit, but for the majority of my days, I turn to comfort as the key component when picking my wardrobe.
Activewear is really coming into its own, and now it’s not just something you wear to the gym. If you find the right fit, you could find yourself living in a strong hoodie/legging combo (speaking from experience).
I’ve been on the hunt for the best activewear brand that will support me in looking and feeling amazing but will also help me to fulfill my dream of being a ‘Pilates, gym-going, matcha-drinking girlie’ - I know you know what I’m talking about.
There are a lot of leggings out there that claim to be ‘buttery soft’ but the reality is far from it, or the fabric feels amazing but they lack support in all the areas you need it most. There’s a lot of options out there but, when I discovered Unaltered, I felt like I had found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Unaltered
Unaltered was created with the pure intention of making women feel powerful and confident. What I love about them is that they stand for so much more than just activewear; they are a brand that celebrates body positivity. Each product is made to embrace difference and with all women’s bodies in mind, with their sizes ranging from XXS-XXXL. Any brand that strives to support the sisterhood is one that I can get behind.
Here are some of my favorite picks from their range:
Second Skin Leggings
"These are the best leggings ever! Wouldn’t wear anything else."
I have been living in these Second Skin leggings ever since I bought them. The fabric is 70% nylon and 30% spandex, which gives them a light, buttery feel while giving you all the support you need. They have been designed without a front seam, meaning you avoid the risk of a camel toe, and the high waistline holds extra support without being so tight that you can’t breathe.
They come in a range of colors; my favorite is the Panther black.
Oversized Hoodies
It’s actually quite shocking how difficult it is to find a well-fitted hoodie, and often (even the expensive ones) can be poorly made. I felt like I’d found the perfect match when I came across these hoodies; they are oversized (essential for comfort), fleece-lined, and have an embossed logo that makes it feel that little bit more expensive. You won’t want to take it off.
Tank Bra
The perfect tank bra for an extra lift, the tank bra comes with built-in support, double-layering, and a flattering plunge neckline. Wear with a pair of the Unaltered leggings, and you are ready to conquer the day.
Honestly, if you are looking for high-quality, luxury activewear that will make you feel amazing, then you have to try out Unaltered. Confidence starts from within, but the Unaltered range is the perfect attire to hold your hand on the journey of body confidence. It’s the gym wear for every occasion, and I know you’re going to love it.
