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.

I tried the leggings and found the fit to be really unflattering. They don't hug you in and the fabric kind of sags after a couple wears. The material itself was super soft and comfortable and the colors are amazing, but I gave mine to a friend because they just weren't right for my body.

Love the color selection it comes in. The ribbed sets are super luxurious and really hug you tight. However, I wish some of the sets were thicker or had morer coverage on top.
I have a couple items from Girlfriend Collective - a sports bra and biker shorts. They're great quality and feel very comfortable but the sizing is a little off - it seems to run small and things shrink in the wash even on a cold cycle. However I like the overall look and feel of the products and the company itself!

Keep on doing what you’re doing :)
I own over 6 leggings, shirts, scrunchies, and a bathing suit. All very good quality and long lasting! I love the brand message.

Less promotion; for a sustainable brand, I got way too many marketing materials.
Love, love, love! My favorite activewear brand! Super high quality, comfortable, cute. I will say, I would recommend ordering a size up if you are between two sizes or debating which size to get. They don't necessarily run small, but the compressive materials can make it feel like they do. Especially in the dresses/one pieces; order based on your largest measurement between bust/hips/waist. Super comfortable sports bras, and skirts. I've worn the leggings running and they don't fall down. My only qualms: the underwear, just terrible experience for me. I think I order a bikini pair and the fit was just all wrong. The crotch was piece was way too thin and they came up too high in the back, overall just a weird fit. Not only that, they fell apart in the wash (but that could be because I definitely put them in the dryer and you're definitely not supposed to). Other than that, everything is great! Overall, could not recommend this brand enough! (just don't order the underwear)

I got a beautiful burnt orange sports bra Nad bike shorts set. When I first tried it on, it was so tight that I could barely get it on and thought I would rip a seam. My friends told me to stick with it and I'm glad I did, because it stretched out a bit and is one of my go to workout sets now.

Maybe size accuracy?

such a brand of the moment - products feel good and fit well and then do not wear well. also they forgot to mention that they are leaching microplastics into the ocean with every single wash - no thanks
I’ve returned some of their leggings because they just weren’t for me. The compression felt like too much, but it’s possible I wasn’t getting the correct size. However, despite that I’ve ordered countless other things from the brand since then. As a busty girlie, sports bras have always been tricky and usually kind of useless. The Paloma is the best sports bra I’ve ever had. I’ve have like 4 or 5 and don’t intended to try any other brands any time soon.

I do think the site could use some optimization. It can be a little less than intuitive, especially on mobile. Shipping is also not, ideal. I get it though, I’m sure this was comprise that had to made for margins sake. I rarely need a sports bra urgently anyways.
I have two pairs of their leggings. They fit so well and are very comfortable. They definitely look like gymwear and not loungewear, which is their only drawback.

I cannot suggest this brand more. I love what they stand for and can always find a sale. I became obsessed with exercise dresses when I got one of the OV ones. Eventually I tried one of the Girlfriend Collective ones (Tommy Dress in Green) and it has easily become one of my most worn items of clothing in my closet. It can be dressed up or down, is made very well and fits like a dream. I also have multiple pairs of leggings, a skort and a sweatsuit and those are also some of my most worn items in my closet.
I love this brand. I've had their leggings for over five years and they still look like new. I recently purchased some products from their maternity line and they are super comfortable and high quality. I'm 100% behind a brand with a sustainability focus that makes products built to last as well as being responsible on the production side.
This brand is size inclusive and sustainable. The material doesn't feel the most comfortable, but it does its job.
My first purchase from Girlfriend Collective was years ago, and I still wear that pair of leggings. They have held up to the test of time and I would absolutely purchase from them again!

Really great clothing, the workout shorts I purchased have held up very well with many washes. Additionally, I purchased a pair of workout shorts for my husband from the men's line, and they are really great quality as well. The only knock on the clothing is how expensive the pieces are, but having experienced the quality and comfort of the clothing, would say its worth it (especially when there is a sale or discount code).
Feedback
The cost of clothing is on the pricier side, but they do run promotions and discounts occasionally and their sale items have decent selection.
I bought a pair of this brand's leggings for around $20 when they were brand new and selling products at a discount to drum up buzz, and I think I've consistently owned at least one of their products since then. I do love their sports bras and feel comfortable wearing them underneath workout tops or on their own.
Feedback
I've since come to realize that their leggings aren't ideal for me--I don't love a front seam for camel toe reasons and I feel like they should offer more options for leggings without a front seam. their packaging also used to be more luxe, they would include a pretty dusty rose dustbag with the name embroidered on it, and I haven't seen that in the last orders I placed.
I was super lucky to get a free pair of leggings through their facebook promotion when they first launched a few years ago. These leggings literally look and feel the exact same to this day! I've also purchased a couple of other pairs of leggings and sports bras. All fit great and have worn beautifully. Plus, I love their inclusive messaging + sizing :)

I would like to see some prints from this brand, too.
I have 2 pairs of their compressive high-rise leggings in black. The first pair was when they first launched in 2016, and I got to try the leggings for free (plus shipping cost). They lasted me for 6+ years with regular wear, before the thread on the external seams started running. The material itself barely pilled even between the thighs. The colour barely faded and I still wear them! Then I bought my second pair of leggings in 2022. They are completely opaque & squat proof. They are supportive and make my butt look good and are stomach smoothing yet they are extremely comfortable and can be worn all day. They are a true high rise and don't need to be hiked up. I will continue repurchasing them! I also like that they don't have a logo on them.
I have a number of sports bras and a pair of leggings from Girlfriend Collective and find them soft and comfortable. They aren't intensely supportive, but I think that's why they're so comfy. The leggings do pill over time, but not in a way that makes them unusable. If I got a new pair, I'd probably baby them a bit more when washing! Overall though I love the brand's vibe and perspective, and will definitely be getting more items from them.
Feedback
Would like the leggings to pill less (but a similar pair I have from Lululemon does the same, so...).
Love their dresses and their size inclusivity
