Girlfriend Collective earns largely positive reviews for durable, size‑inclusive activewear with rich colors, supportive Paloma and Tommy bras, and long‑lasting OG/compressive leggings; many say the brand is good and pieces hold up for years. Reviews also flag weaknesses: inconsistent sizing, leggings that can run thick, slide down, or pill/lose shape over time, variable quality across lines, and some styles lacking breathability or support.

  • This stuff feels like a step below lulu and alo. The material isn't as buttery soft as I'd prefer but it's still a decent product. I'd probably buy something else before getting GC again. I will say tho - they have nice colors and are inclusive which is great!

  • I love girlfriend collective! It's my go to activewear brand. I have three of the paloma sports bras - as someone with a small chest, I wear these for all activities - running, hiking, yoga and casually. I find their compressive fabric to be thick but comfortable and not too warm for cardio. I have recently bought some of their float line (sport bra and bike shorts) and I have hardly taken them off. All of their colours are great and I really value their sustainability plans. Highly recommend!

  • Some of my favorite pieces in my closet are from girlfriend- high quality and made to last, trendy yet classic, with a great mission. Definitely can't go wrong with this brand.

  • Comfortable attractive workout clothes, quality seemed great until a couple wears later I noticed a section of threads all fraying. I am curious how sustainable they are, when items are made in one country - shipped to a different country- then mailed to the us to me. I feel like having 3 + (if an item is sent separate) different shipping transactions for a single order is not great

    The quality of thread could be better unless I just got an unlucky pair.

  • I was skeptical at first because it's hard to find quality activewear at a reasonable price point, but I was happily surprised. Let's start with the fit, I am 160lb, usually size US8-10, Size C cup and purchased size L in tops ad bottoms - would say fits true to size and it holds you in in all the right places. I recently wore a one shoulder sports bra to run and my girls were in place. The quality of the material is very durable, I tend to lean towards thinner fabric for activewear but the fabric feels strong, supportive and feels like would survive a ton of wash and dry cycles. The colors are fun and don't get dingy and I love that the tops and bottoms are easily interchangeable. I would go as far to say that they can be used to run errands and for athleisure and some of the tops with interesting shaped can even be used casually with denim. All my GC sets are in my weekly rotation and I can't wait to purchase more pieces :)

  • I LOVE this brand. I got one of their very first leggings and that pair has held-up for more than 6 years. Their size inclusiveness and diversity of models is inspiring. The commitment to sustainability and good business practices makes me want to support them, even if items are a bit more expensive than other brands.

  • My favorite leggings! I've been a customer since they first launched and have loved how the product line has evolved.

    I'm a fan of their inclusive sizing and models.

  • I like Girlfriend collective. Do I love it, no but I like it a lot. I found GFC when I was pregnant and needed to get some comfortable workout clothes that fit. These were great and I ended up using the nursing bras for over a year. I still sometimes wear them, they are that comfortable. I find the clothes can be a little warm for cardio activities indoors, so I usually wear them for cooler outside activities. I like that they can recycle the clothes if you return them (bras cannot be returned). If you are looking for more lounge-y type clothes, these are perfect for you!

  • I love that I could easily find my size, since I’m midsize. I love the materials, non see through for me and shipping was quick!

  • I love all of my Girlfriend products. I have diff leggings, bike shorts and bras. I know my friend had a problem with the zipper on her fleece jacket, though. I feel like they could improve their shipping experience.

    GF will blame shipping delays on customs, but I've had orders say that they are still with GF and haven't made it to the post office. That's during both busy seasons and off seasons. I'm OK that shipping takes a little longer because it's coming from the manufacturer, but I think it's not truthful to ALWAYS blame it on customs. Unless I am missing something here, like maybe the shipping info doesn't update frequently.

  • I love GC's activewear and outerwear and have purchased a bunch of sports bras, bralettes, leggings, and sweats from them over the last couple of years. High quality, minimalist & trendy colors, and comfy af. Also, really good customer service.

  • Got a few pairs of leggings from them and they feel very high quality and at a fraction of the price compared to Lululemon. They sell on sustainability which is an added plus. I know they also highlight the compression on the leggings as a bonus, but they personally feel a bit tight especially if wearing them on days where I'm more bloated or going to eat a bigger meal in them.

  • The things that fit, fit well and I wear all the time, but some items (especially the sports bras and bike shorts) fit oddly or morph fit over time. Returns are very easy though, so worth at least trying.

  • I ADORE Girlfriend. From their mission, to their inclusive sizing and product photos, to their absolutely A+ email marketing.

    Feedback

    Well, there was one workout dress that was universally panned for having a weird, uncomfortable and unflattering fit... but pretty sure they redesigned it based on feedback!

  • I love this brand. Their workout shorts are the best ones I own (I have 2) and I am sad when they are dirty. However, I chose to rate this brand a four/five because I more recently ordered two pairs of the leggings and for some reason, the material feels different, tighter and not as comfortable. I am not sure if this is a recent change to the material or just that the leggings and shorts are different but I hope the shorts stay the same because they are a staple in my wardrobe. I have not tried any of the sports bras and am waiting to buy the skort.

    Keep the material the same.

  • Sustainable materials and cute styles. I own at least 10 pieces from girlfriend - the fit is just right for my petite bod (they offer both a full length and cropped length legging) and their colours are super trendy yet minimalist.

  • I love my Girlfriend Collective clothes! I have a few of their tops and leggings and they hold up very well. Love their sustainability as well!

  • Comfy and love that they're a sustainable brand, but the fabric is simply too thick. They are NOT like the lulu Aligns! They are GREAT for colder weather though (hiking, etc). They are definitely true to size, which I like. I have only tried the black, so I don't know if they show sweat. Not sure if they're worth the money in comparison to other high-price brands, even though their mission is SUPER solid. Important to note, however, when you're washing clothes made of recycled plastic (or any leggings, for that matter), you can still wash microplastics into the water - so it's important to use a filter bag like a Guppy bag!

    Feedback

    Make 2 styles - thinner and thicker fabric

  • the first time i bought from girlfriend collective i was honestly just intrigued by the brands sustainability pact and wanted to see how leggings from recycled materials would hold up. the quality is great, the material is soft and they hold up really well at the gym. highly recommend the leggings, bras and biker shorts.

  • I love them for basics. Everything is very comfortable and holds up well. They are truly size inclusive too.

    Feedback

    They put out a lot of new styles pretty frequently, which doesn’t seem to vibe with their eco friendly mission statement. I wish their collection was smaller and more thoughtful drops happened less frequently.
