Every lunge, sprint and downward dog pose is an altogether more comfortable experience. Compression leggings are made from 25 recycled plastic bottles, while 11 are used to make the company's sports bras – so you can go to the gym wearing material that would otherwise have ended up in landfill.Ĭreating a sculpted fit with no gaping, these super-smooth tops, leggings and bralettes wick away moisture and offer architectural support. Crafted from anti-pilling fabrics that won't shrink or bobble in the wash, each piece also boasts impressive eco-credentials. Our Girlfriend Collective range is stocked with opaque designs that pass the squat test with flying colours: no see-through fabrics here. The Seattle-based brand may pride itself on transparency, but that's one thing you won't have to worry about when it comes to wearing the label's internet-famous leggings. Their target customer? The conscious consumer in search of guilt-free performancewear. Identifying a gap in the market for more sustainable sportswear, husband-and-wife duo Quang and Ellie Dinh launched the ethical apparel label in 2016. I may just have to throw in a sports bra and one of their new t-shirts made of cupro yarn in a zero-waste, zero-emissions facility in Japan.Girlfriend Collective's circular attitude to activewear is making the athleisure industry sit up and take note. Seems like they just might be the best fit for my minimalist wardrobe on the road. I want to take them on our 3 month van trip in the fall. It just might be time to buy some new leggings from Girlfriend Collective after snagging a hole recently on a wired fence. Their leggings were in better condition than mine. After drying them for a couple of months they started to pill along the seams and after talking to my friend and sister I realized that they had read the washing instructions. My only regret is that I wish I would have read the washing instructions since it reads that you should not put them in the dryer. The leggings were not see through making it safe to pick up the kids and their toys off the ground! And, most importantly, I also I loved the look of them on myself, my sister and my friend. While hiking, doing yoga, climbing and trail running the leggings did not slide down which is something I have noticed with other leggings. This is great since products made from alternate fabric like organic materials can wear down easily making them not last as long.

The verdict?! The recycled leggings are still a deep black after a full year of wearing them. I have run countless times in them and they have been worn for some hot yoga and spin classes. They have been my companion for coffee dates with friends during the day, hiking adventures with my littles and while I learnt to climb at the gym. Please don’t judge but I probably have worn the leggings a minimum of 3x a week for the past year. We both raved about how much we loved how they looked. The high waist pulled in my stretched belly from two pregnancies and I loved the look of them on. I called my sister up and she happened to have just received hers that day as well. They ended up being true to size and fit so well.

I took a deep breath hoping they would fit as I pulled them up over my waist. I was a little nervous to try to get them on.

Their campaign had gone more than viral and they were upfront about the wait time.Īt first glance, they looked so small around the waist.

We knew the leggings were not going to come to our doorstep for a few months. We then clicked the sign up button and held our breath hoping that the company was truly legit.Ī few months later the leggings arrived which was no surprise. We both followed their sizing chart even though it seemed like we were choosing ones that were quite a bit smaller then we usually would purchase. Maybe leggings could still be a staple in our wardrobes! This resonated with us and our own bodies that have changed since having children. We also noticed that their “models” wearing their leggings in pictures were not all the same size. We loved that they were made from recycled material and ethically made.
