Hi, I’m looking for plus size brands or any brands that fit women with bigger butts and hips. I went into REI yesterday and had luck finding 1 pair of shorts that fit 😭.. it seems like different brands fit differently and a L in one size is a S in another brand.
Looking for affordable brands for plus size cycling shorts/leggings?

Get it mama! You’re so beautiful & you make cycling look GREAT❤️I would google “cycling kits” and see what pops up and just browse! Good luck on your search👑
One thing about wearing shorts instead of cycling bibs is that the shorts will start to pull down at the backside which I’m sure you don’t want. Also the mesh sides are great but very revealing. Obviously you’re wearing undergarments to try those on, which is ok. I think in any brand of cycling clothing you’ll find either the waist will be loose or the legs will be too tight. If you try on bibs instead you’ll find that the straps make up for the looseness at your waist so the legs are more comfortable
Fortunately, most brands will fit you as long as you get the right size. Affordability is the hard part, can’t go wrong with Rapha Core (cheap and relatively good quality), look into Pedal Mafia. Also the State Bicycle kits are pretty cheap and they’re ok.
Good luck! Nice locs 🤙🏾
Do we need to wear underwear inside cycling shorts?
After a bit of weight gain I tried bibs because my belly pushed the shorts down. I find them very comfortable too. I got Bontrager’s on sale for $45. I think what you are wearing looks good but you have to go commando in bike tights. You need to see what you think about those transparent thighs. I would think it would be fine but you’re the best judge
