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 have a few pieces from Girlfriend Collective and I am still so impressed with the quality! Super comfortable and I always feel confident in their stuff. I also feel good knowing about their ethically business practices.

  • The Paloma bra is my favorite for high impact workouts. It’s comfortable and keeps me locked in (ie not boobs jostling around lol), but is so comfortable because of the smooth material, long line fit and snug fit around my chest. The wide straps make sure it doesn’t dig in. I have two colors and love them. They also look so cute if you run errands after a workout!

  • a fabulous brand! my whole family wears their clothing and it lasts so long and still feels just like it did the first day.

  • I’m a very crowded category GFC leggings stand out for their quality. I find myself reaching for them over and over, they hold up well to washing, hold me in without being too tight and are a nice thickness. I wear them more as athleisure than athletic wear. I discovered the brand when pregnant and in need of mat leggings that were good quality, and they were probably my most worn pants at that time in my life.

  • A must have!!!! These aren't your average gym duds. These are recycled magic woven into buttery-soft, sweat-wicking wonder. I'm talking bottles transformed into badass leggings that hug you in all the right places, leaving you looking so goood

  • I have the original leggings from their product launch from years ago, and they still look and feel like new! The amount of compression is great for everyday and the fabric has not pilled.

  • I received my first pair of Girlfriend Collective leggings after donating to their Kickstarter back sometime between 2016-2018. They only had one style and color at the time and are the first brand I can remember that used recycled bottles to make their fabric. Anyway, I still own that pair and they're in great shape. The quality and shape have stood through lots of washes and wear. Then in 2020, they started offering more cute products in a lot more colors, so I ordered 2 sports bras, 2 pairs of leggings, and 1 skort in plum and forest green. While I love the bras, I can't say the quality of the leggings compare to the original pair. They're comfortable for laying on the couch, but once you start moving around, even for a short dog walk, they fall down and you have to keep pulling them up around your thighs, hips, and waist. At first, I assumed it was a sizing issue, but I had followed their size guide and still ordered 2 different sizes just in case bc I'm typically either an L or XL in other brands. I was disappointed especially bc I loved the og pair so so much. The bras on the other hand, were awesome and still are. I got the Tommy square neck bra and the Simone high support bra. They're both super comfortable and have held up well. They're my go-to for travel and working out. The sport skort is just okay, which is a bummer bc it's so cute with the matching bra. As someone with chronic summertime thigh chafing, the built in shorts ride up quickly doing no favors in terms of friction, and the material is pretty thick and more compressive than they are breathable, doing no favors for my sweaty betty. I'd love to see them release a skort with the chub rub strife top of mind, designed with longer built in shorts that are a more breathable material than the skirt that covers them up.

  • Incredible product for incredible prices! The fabric, fit, and feel is that you would find with a lululemon or alo, but nearly half the price! I also love that each set come with the super cute reusable bag!

  • I have a few pieces from them and they're really soft. Not everything fit great when I ordered it online but it was easy to swap/return. Love that they're woman owned and that they care about sustainability! Fun colors too.

  • My favourite pair of leggings are from here!! Such good quality! Nice thick material, not see through at all, they stay up when I'm running, and have truly stood the test of time. The fact that they're sustainably made is the best added bonus ever. Will def be shopping for more workout gear from them!

  • I own a TON of Girlfriend clothing — bras, leggings, a workout dress, underwear — and have given products as gifts, and have been impressed by the quality and style! My fave is the FLOAT line: super soft and stretchy compared to the tighter compressive line. And a quarter zip sweater that I’ve had for about three years and has maintained its color and super soft exterior really well. Least favorite is probably the underwear. I like the styles and colors but they just don’t hold up as well as I’d expect for the price — don’t expect to repurchase those. Haven’t had that issue with their other clothing though, and appreciate the size inclusivity and social mission.

  • I’ve owned their leggings since they first launched and the quality of their products have not changed since. They hold up very well over time, the bras are supportive, and the styles are so flattering! I love that they use recycled materials to make their fabric.

  • Girlfriend Collective is a comfort haven! The materials are a dream – soft, breathable, and perfect for all-day wear. Whether I’m working or lounging, their pieces strike the ideal balance between style and coziness. It’s my go-to for comfortable chic, and I can’t get enough of the feel-good vibes they bring to my wardrobe.

  • I have sworn by this brand for years since my mom passed me down a pair of leggings. I swear their pieces last better than any other active wear brand

  • I love Girlfriend Collective's mission and high quality athletic wear. As a distance runner, I am obsessed with their bra tops. They are a fraction of the cost of other running brands and have the same quality feel. Additionally, their stuff is made out of recycled plastic (which you wouldn't guess by the feel of them!) so I feel better about my purchase.

  • the material is very soft, even after many washes. I wouldn't say the design or fit of the bras is anything revolutionary, but their selling point for me really is the variety of muted earth tone colors that they have available. very flattering and natural looking! Also very size inclusive which is amazing!

  • I love GF collective. I’ve tried everything from leggings to winter jackets to socks and underwear. Everything is high quality. Wish the shipping were a little faster though!

  • Firming and shaping leggings! Breathable and I love them when working out.
