Where to Buy Quality Lycra Clothing & Nail the Fit Every Time

When looking for Lycra-enhanced garments—whether women’s or men’s, high-street or designer, athleisure or swimwear—two factors stand out:

Fabric & construction: Quality Lycra blends (nylon or polyester with elastane) deliver stretch, shape retention, comfort, and performance.
Accurate sizing: Lycra molds to your body, so sizing exactly to your measurements is critical.

Here’s how you can shop the best Lycra pieces—and always get the fit right.

🔝 Top Choices Across Price Points

High Street & Performance Labels

Look for brands like Lululemon, Sweaty Betty, and Fabletics (women), or Rapha and Pearl Izumi (men) offering high-quality Lycra blends for activewear, cycling gear, and everyday comfort.

Maygel Coronel: Noted for luxurious Italian Lycra with compression fit.
Norma Kamali: Known for ruched, supportive Lycra styles with stretch.

Know Your Lycra Fit: Sizing Tips from Tellar

Never size up automatically with Lycra — you’re better off sizing true or even slightly down, especially with 1–10% stretch in fabrics. As Tellar explains:

“Don’t Size Up for Stretch … If a garment contains Lycra … it’s designed to fit closer to the body.”
