Why Your Innerwear Deserves Athleisure-Level Love

Nov 11, 2025

Your Innerwear Isn’t “Just Underwear” — It’s Your 24/7 Second Skin

Let’s be real.

You spend 16+ hours a day in your innerwear. Yet most women treat it like an afterthought — scratchy lace, visible panty lines, and bras that dig in by noon.

At Chelsea Athleisure, we asked: Why should your outer athleisure feel like luxury… but your inner layer feel like compromise?

Enter Chelsea Intimates — the world’s first athleisure-grade innerwear designed for Indian bodies, Indian heat, and Indian hustle.

This is your 2025 guide to invisible comfort, all-day confidence, and innerwear that actually disappears under your sarees, kurtas, lehengas, and Lululemon dupes.

How to Find Your True Innerwear Size (Stop Guessing!)

Most Indian women wear the wrong bra size (average error: 2 band + 1 cup sizes).

60-Second Chelsea Fit Quiz:

  1. Band: Measure snug under bust → round down to even number.
  2. Bust: Measure fullest part → subtract band.
    • 0” = AA | 1” = A | 2” = B | 3” = C | 4” = D | 5” = DD
  3. Innerwear Bottom:
    • Hip measurement → XS (32–34”), S (34–36”), M (36–38”), etc.

Example: Underbust 31” → 32 band Full bust 37” → 5” difference = DD32DD
