I am on the hunt to discover the best activewear for 40+ women. We want to feel good and kinda hang onto some trends without wearing crop tops or butt scrunching leggings. In this post I will be doing an Next active wear review after it was highly recommended when I asked my audience where they are getting their active wear from.
I’m working on creating a directory of reviews, and so you can see the full list of reviews here and I will be sure to keep these posts updated as I go along.

Next Active Wear Sizing
The main thing I have to note is the variability in sizing. Some items fit fine, yet others were so big and so if you are ordering online I would definitly opt to get a couple of size oiptions.
I am usually around a UK size 14. When shopping in places like Zara or H&M I am normally a L-XL, yet in these Next sizes I bought a large for most items, though I really should have sized down.
Product Range
I really liked a lot of the range, though I did find that a lot of sizes were already sold out. Next do restock items, but it’s not on a set schedule, so it’s more of a matter of checking back in or going into store to find sizes in certain items when you can.
I felt some items had a great range of patterns and colours, whilst other items were a little limited.
All of the items felt nice in terms of quality and were super lightweight.
Pricing
I feel that the items are a great price for the quality. Some items felt really nice quality, though I can’t comment on their durability at this moment. I have kept one top at the moment, so will let you know how that fairs up.
Though I would definitely look at getting some basic tanks as I think they are really well priced.
I feel Next have a great selection, reasonable prices and seem to be good quality from what I felt. Be careful with sizing, but I will definitely be looking at buying some more of their Next active wear range in the future.
