About Sweaty Betty: Fit, Function & Fashion
Founded in London in 1998, Sweaty Betty redefined women’s activewear by combining:
-
Technical fabrics with flattering cuts
-

-
Styles for yoga, running, HIIT, ski, Pilates, and recovery

Inclusive sizing (UK 6–24) and category-specific support levels
From bestselling Power Leggings to oversized after-class hoodies, Sweaty Betty caters to every workout—but that means sizing can vary depending on stretch, compression, and activity type.
Is Sweaty Betty True to Size?
Sweaty Betty generally runs true to size, but compression leggings, sports bras, and swimwear can feel snug—especially if you’re between sizes or prefer a relaxed fit. Casualwear and outerwear tend to run roomy and relaxed.

-
Tops & vests – true to size, fitted at bust
-
Sports bras – may run small; support levels vary
-

Why Sweaty Betty Sizing Can Be Tricky
Sweaty Betty pieces are engineered for performance—which means:
-
Compression fits may feel tighter than expected
-
Support levels aren’t always listed clearly online
-
Fabric stretch varies by activity category
-
Petite or tall frames may struggle with inseam or crop length
-
Sizing can change between core, seasonal, or limited-edition drops
That’s why Tellar.co.uk uses actual product data and your body shape to give size recommendations that work—every time.
🎁 Every new Tellar profile comes with a free measuring tape so you only ever need to measure once.
