Size-inclusive clothing brand Universal Standard is passionate about making high-quality designs for people of all shapes and sizes and it is disrupting the fashion industry with a number of partnerships, including one with adidas—the Universal Standard x adidas range has sizes from 00 to 40. The high-quality activewear capsule introduces four colorways and high-performance styles that can keep up with everything from dancing to basketball and beyond.
Universal Standard is set on introducing "a new normal that shifts the way women look at fashion, and how fashion looks at women." Thanks to this partnership, adidas will be introducing activewear from XXS to 4X, serving more women than ever before. Some of the styles that are available include leggings, t-shirts, tank tops, shorts and zip-up hoodies in black, white and maroon and earth colors.
