If you’re someone with a longer torso like me, you know how much of a pain it can be to find flattering activewear. Some leggings cause the dreaded “camel-toe” if you pull them too high, while others are so low-rise that you risk exposing your rear while in downward dog. Sure, there are leggings designed with longer inseams for taller people, but very few activewear brands offer options specifically designed for longer trunks.

Fortunately, through years of trial and a lot of error, I’ve found several brands that offer long-torso-friendly activewear bottoms. Along my quest to find leggings that actually fit, I’ve learned that it’s all about the cut and height of the waist.

If you’re like me and struggle to find shorts, leggings, or skirts that work for a longer midsection, I’ve got you covered. Scroll through below to check out some of my current long torso-approved activewear pieces to add to your lineup.
