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've loved everything that I've ordered from here. The leggings are really comfortable and fit great. After owning them for more than a year, they still look as good as the day that I got them.

  • 10/10 brand! The sustainability and transparency is what drew me to them (aside from the cute clothes), and the inclusivity, both gender and size, immediately made me a fan. The items I own are buttery soft and can be worn dressed up or down.

  • Although I've only ever bought their clothes from sample sales, I absolutely love them. Come in all different sizes and colors and their unique material particularly comfortable for dry desert heat!

    The colors bleed a bit on the first wash, but they warn you about that on the tag which is nice. Also when purchased in bulk, every one of their items come individually wrapped in plastic so it's not as eco-friendly as they appear in-store.

  • The packaging and quality of these products was where I really saw the company shine. I have a shirt and a pair of biker shorts and they're extremely comfortable and feel so high quality.

  • Girlfriend Collective has some of the best bras ever. They're super comfortable for everyday wear and feel so luxurious. I also love how inclusive their sizing and models are!

  • Love this brand! Appreciate their decent transparency on social media, and online. Their diversity across branding and product accessibility is great.

    Their leggings fall down on me a bit, and their crop top/sports bra sizing feels a bit confusing but this may have been because of the cut of the pants.

  • I LOVE Girlfriend Collective. It’s sustainable and ethically made, size-inclusive, high-quality, and super fun and empowering. It’s great for workouts and for everyday and has delightful colors. So far, I’ve bought multiple pairs of leggings, bike shorts, and sports bras, and all have been amazing quality. I LOVE the feel of their signature fabric. Even when there’s a style I don’t know if I could pull off confidently as a larger girl, their branding makes me want to go for it. If it doesn’t work out, returns are super easy. The panties are incredible: they’re comfortable and don’t roll down. The everyday bras haven’t been as supportive as I would have liked for me as a 36D, but for $25 or so, I’m really happy.

    More bright colors!! I’d also love even more products beyond athleisure! The website can also be hard to use: search functionality and item availability needs work. I would love to be able to pick my size and see colors are in stock, both for overall searching and for a single item.

  • I love everything I’ve gotten from Girlfriend Collective, the sets are so comfy and cute to work out in. Prices are a little high but there are a few sales a year that I always take advantage of. My leggings have held up through countless washes over several years. Shipping can be slow but it has definitely improved compared to what it used to be.

  • This is my favorite brand of athletic wear and I love what they do for the environment. I've been wearing it for years but have to wait for sales because it tends to be pricier.

    Feedback

    Sizing is kinda weird. A medium sports bra is too small for me which is weird.

  • Although I love their tops, their pants gape quite a bit and customer support wasn't helpful at suggesting a return for a smaller size.

    Feedback

    Sizing, fitting of product, and customer support.

  • Everything about this brand is amazing. I love supporting brands who do good and they are a prime example of doing good for our world. Size inclusive, high quality. I love Girlfriend Collective!

    Feedback

    Would love a resale market so we can buy used directly though girlfriend!

  • At first I was self-conscious in my GC set, but I get sooooo many compliments on it! It really does hold my shape better than a lot of other sets. I'm so glad I kept it!

  • When this brand first launched, they were offering a free pair of leggings for the cost of shipping. It seemed too good to be true, but they weren't lying. For $6 I received a nice, thick, high quality pair of workout leggings. They have expanded to offer a variety of exercise clothing, but I haven't purchased anything else because the prices are fairly high and I don't work out enough to justify the splurge.

    Feedback

    Prices could be lower.

  • I love Girlfriend Collective's business model and how they create ethical and sustainable activewear. I own multiple leggings and bras and they are perfect to wear during a hike, workout, or for everyday where. The material is super durable and the clothes are comfortable. 10/10 recommend!!!

  • Purchase these second hands but definitely still great. Its tight but doesnt cut into your skin. It hugs my curves nicely. So far after a dozen uses it has not pilled.

  • Cannot say enough good things about this brand. I probably wore their leggings 6 out of 7 days during the pandemic. I love the sweatpants as well. Everything is super stretchy so I recommend sizing down.

    Feedback

    I do have bigger boobs and a smaller rib cage so some of the tops just don't work for me (hello side boob).

  • Have tried a bunch of things both total hits (paloma bra! simone bra! gazelle short!) and meh misses (underwear, the midsection tightness of the skort, etc). Love that thin bodies aren't the default and they seem to at least be attempting to move toward better diversity/inclusion.

    Feedback

    Shipping takes a bit, but that's more of an issue with our collective expectations being totally destroyed than anything else. Would love to see more legging materials since the OG is too thick for me to actually work out in. Would also love more transparency between internal D&I as well as environmental/labor/sustainability practices.

  • Love the fit of these and how they feel. The colors are not the usual black/white. They are wearable but still different which I love. Was a bit nervous purchasing because I'm short, but on the curvier side, but the size guides and photos helped me purchase the right size for my body.

    Feedback

    Shipping can take a long time (I think it's because they ship from Vietnam), but am more than willing to wait if that means that the garments are ethically produced.

  • Girlfriend Collective offers adorable and super comfortable activewear with a great fit. The fabric feels high-quality and supportive, but the lack of padding in bras makes this small boob not approved.

  • I want to love this brand for their dedication to sustainability; and the quality of their products.....however, the more I learn about the detriments of polyester, the less appeal this brand has for me. I hope to see them transition to more energizing fabrics such as cotton and linen.
