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 is for the leggings and sports bras. The best sports bra I own and reach for are Girlfriend. Least amount of constriction (I also am part of the IBTC) and comfy straps. Colors are kind of meh, they need to branch out of the earth tone/2016 DTC colors. I only have one pair of their leggings, but they're a great compression pair if I am ever in the mood for that. But overall, great brand with quality products.

  • I tried these leggings when they were first getting started and they are still my favorite. The material is fantastic and hasn't faded or stretched in more than 6 years.

  • They withstand body changes so I'm definitely repurchasing. No popped stitches or loss of elasticity. Still comfortable, still cute. Worth the price.

  • I really wanted to like these, because I love their mission. I tried the leggings in multiple sizes, and could never get them to fit right. The waist was always too big while the legging part was too tight. I'm usually a size 25 in jeans with an athletic build, so if you have a similar body type - they might not be for you, either! I do love their tops, though. They fit great and are breathable and don't absorb sweat stench.

  • High quality atheists. Their leggings are so buttery smooth and keep you snatched!

  • A big fan of this brand, any piece I have gotten has been high quality and withstood many washes. Only issue is that the inseams were a bit short for a tall girl like myself.

  • I got a couple sports bras and shorts from girlfriend collective and they feel fantastic. The fabric holds up well over multiple washes and I like that they have tank options so I don’t have to fully expose my stomach but don’t feel as constricted as I would in a shirt. I wear them to weightlift (just started) and go on walks and so far they’ve performed exceptionally

  • I got a pair of Girlfriend Collective leggings shortly after they launched and they're great. I've bought a few other pairs since, a tennis skort, and a bra, and love their fabrics and color selection. I had one issue with returns once, and customer service made it right for me quickly and easily.

  • Overall I like the brand messaging but I feel like the sizing is weird? I had to order a few times to get the right fit.

  • My favorite sports bra I have. I’d love to get more of their clothing!

  • I have 4 pairs of shorts from them. The quality, fit, and color was exactly as described. Great quality and I will keep buying from them!

  • I didn’t find them very comfortable due to the seams, so returned them. Also runs small, felt very tight despite choosing my normal size.

  • Despite the fact that the fit of the products has never been right for me, I love the brand, I love the mission, and I have friends who GC clothes do fit, so I think it's a "me" problem. I am pear-shaped, and the leggings are often loose in the waist, while the sports bras are loose in the ribcage. Just not my proportions, which is a-okay. Still stand by this brand!

  • While I love the mission of the company, I cannot wear these leggings to the gym. The material isn't moisture wicking at all and it feels like the lower half of my body is trapped in a spandex sauna. The tops and bras are really cute, the colors are nice, I'd just keep the pants for athleisure only.

  • I love the Girlfriend leggings. I have 5 pairs in different colors and have purchased many as gifts for friends and family as well. I definitely recommend the compression leggings with pockets and the regular leggings are also really solid and comfortable.

  • I now have two tops and two sport skorts from Girlfriend and they are great. Love that finding a size is not an issue. The quality of the material is great and has handled regular wear for over a year very well.

  • I have a bunch of these bras, tanks, and bottoms. So the sizing can be wonky as in runs small. I had to return and resize in almost all bras. I am a 34DD. I def needed XL. I am size 12 in bottoms, 180 lbs. I wear XL bottoms. I did also get some of their ankle socks for fun and they’re surprisingly awesome, I wear them all the time. As good as my bombas. The material is just as good as lily lemon and athleta. I love this brand and outdoor voices.

  • Love their leggings and bras but feel like the quality has started to go downhill from when I first got them. My oldest pair of leggings is still going strong 8 years later but my newer pairs have loose threads all over. That said I keep going back because I know they fit and are soft and I love the colours.

  • The Girlfriend collective skort is one of the most worn items in my closet. I also have bodysuit that hugs in all the right places. I would recommend this brand to anyone!
