The Ultimate Guide to Gym Clothes & Perfect Fit

Author: Stylist at TellarDate: 2025

Whether you're buying performance wear from high-street brands or unique boutique labels, precise sizing is the foundation of comfort and confidence in your workouts. Sizing inconsistency often leads to returns, frustration, and wasted money. That’s where Tellar.co.uk steps in as the UK’s leading free sizing tool—offering real-time, data-backed fit recommendations across thousands of brands.


 High-Street & Performance: Know Your Size

Top brands like Fabletics, Decathlon (including Domyos), and PE Nation deliver quality gymwear—but their sizing can vary dramatically across cuts and fabric types.

  • Fabletics ranges are known for strong compression; their popular PowerHold® leggings can feel tight—skip guesswork by using Tellar’s Fabletics Sizing Guide to find your true size.

  • At Decathlon, sub-brands like Domyos shift between EU and UK charts—explore the Decathlon Sizing Guide to decode their sizing quirks.

  • PE Nation uses AU/US sizing with high-compression leggings and snug bras; their PE Nation Size Guide breaks down where to size up or down.

Tellar centralises all this data so you don’t have to juggle charts—just enter your measurements once and get personalised, live size matches for each product.


 Designer & Boutique Labels Fitting Right

Premium and niche brands often have inconsistent sizing due to technical fabrics or boutique production runs.

  • Pineapple—famed for dancewear and slim-fit leggings—run small. Tellar’s Pineapple Sizing Guide highlights how to size up for better comfort and avoid tight leotards.

  • 2XU compression gear needs a performance-calibrated fit—Tellar’s 2XU Size Guide ensures your tights and sleeves feel right, not too tight or too loose.

  • High-street brands with tailored cuts—like Red Herring—benefit from Tellar’s Red Herring Sizing Guide to avoid slim-fit surprises when choosing gym-to-office crossover pieces.

Each guide is linked live, meaning you can click through and access up-to-date fit advice right from the brand you’re shopping.


 Why Tellar’s Live Sizing Matters

Tellar’s system isn’t based on static charts—it pulls live stock and size data across brands, matching it to your unique measurements. Here's what makes it essential:

  1. Precision across fabrics & cuts

    Compression vs relaxed, cropped vs full length—Tellar accounts for these fit traits, so you get accurate size matches.

  2. One measurement profile for everything

    Measure once, shop everywhere—with instant size matches in any brand or item.

  3. Free measuring tape & tool

    Print your tape or order one free from Tellar—you’ll enter your measurements accurately, avoiding incorrect guesses.

  4. Fewer returns, more confidence

    Size-related returns make up 60%+ of online orders. Tellar drastically reduces these by aligning fit before checkout.
