Why do some women want bigger bums? Beauty trends, social media and personal style can influence the shapes people admire. Preferences vary, and there is no single body shape women should want or work towards.
Body confidence is personal
For some people, a fuller silhouette feels appealing. Others prefer a different look or focus on how they feel rather than their shape. Your confidence does not need to depend on meeting a beauty trend.
How social media shapes beauty trends
Repeated images of a particular look can make it seem like an expectation. Posing, clothing, lighting and editing can affect how bodies appear online, so a photograph is not a useful standard for judging your own body.
Choosing gym clothes for your shape
Clothes should fit your body rather than asking you to change it. Consider waistband height, leg length and fabric feel when choosing leggings. A scrunch detail changes the appearance of the garment; it does not change your body.
Whatever your shape, your gym wear should help you feel comfortable and confident. Explore our scrunch bum leggings and find your favourite fit.
Prefer a higher waistband? Browse high-waisted gym leggings, or complete your outfit with gym tops and sports bras.
Strength and appearance are different goals
A larger-looking bum does not automatically mean greater strength or better health. Choose movement you enjoy and goals that suit you, rather than feeling you need to copy a shape you see online.
You do not need to follow a trend
There is nothing wrong with enjoying a particular style, but your body does not need to match it. Choose clothes that feel good on you today.
