The Athelete - Average Sizes

The Athelete: Your athelete is always on the go and doesn't have time for frilly designs or needless lingerie - she wants something that's pretty and practical, and that can work in the bedroom or out on a run. We've chosen these pieces to suit her need for simplicity, but also to flatter that body she's been working so hard for.

Average Sizes: These pieces will suit most women and are available in a variety of average sizes. Feel free to browse in the other size categories, however, because they will often have these sizes as well.

Puma Melange Set


This cute two piece set is from Puma. It is made from 100% cotton, ribbed, heathered fabric. Your Lingerie Athlete will enjoy lounging around in this long sleeve top. The matching boy cut shorts are sold separately for $28, but the contrast between a full length shirt and very low rise boy shorts is quite cute. Get the top at Bare Necessities for $42.

Pinstripe Cami Set

If your Lingerie Athlete is also a sports fan, she will like this pinstripe two piece that is in the style of a number of team uniforms including the NY Yankees baseball team. It includes a vest top and boy shorts in black with white pinstripes and contrasting bands. There are cute bows and roses on both pieces. Find this for £46 at Sophie and Grace in the UK, from designer Vive Maria.

Speedo Axcelerate

If your Lingerie Athlete needs more workout wear, Speedo is manufacturing a line called Axcelerate. The product includes advanced fabrics that help support and wick moisture away. The shelf style bra provides limited support and is good for small or medium sized busts. You can pick this up in four colours and find matching compression shorts at Bare Necessities. The top is $32.
