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 recently discovered Girlfriend Collective and I am OBSESSED with their activewear. I have a couple tops and leggings but my absolute favorite is the Luxe Leggings. They are the comfiest and softest leggings I've ever worn. I'm not even exaggerating when I say I want to buy them in every color.

  • My FAVORITE activewear brand. I love their products and website (and loyalty program!!!) and you can return well loved leggings and receive a small credit!

  • I bought GC's very first pair of leggings when they first launched. I loved the idea of recycled fabric leggings, especially as I live in them as a mum. Over time they pilled and lost their shape a bit, so unfortunately I wouldn't buy again - although, I'm sure they've refined their fabric since first launching.

  • I am not very up on the brands current sustainability ethos as I am sure it has evolved since launch, but at the time I liked there inclusive visual direction and ethos.

  • Hands down the greatest athleisure sports bra out there! I love the fact there's so much size options for everyone and the best sports bras in the world!

    Great customer service and great quality products. Not only are they environmentally friendly and sustainable, they are built to last and support every workout.

  • Love their sports bras/bike shorts. They stay in place without being too constricting and the sports bras are supportive for bigger boobs.

  • Literally the best leggings I’ve ever bought! Super soft and so snug, holding me in whilst being comfortable and easy to wear. I instantly bought a second pair and I wear them 8 days a week ✌️

    Feedback

    They’re the best! Website super easy, maybe a list of UK stockists as the website seems geared towards US.

  • I love the idea of recycled fibers but the truth is the fabric too tight and not flattering the way that Lululemon or Athleta pieces accentuate the form. I have a bra and bike shorts set, and I had to size down, and even with one size down, it's still extremely tight. Also, the products ship from Vietnam so it took a while to get here.

  • Obsessed with this brand and their products!

  • Girlfriend Collective is QUALITY. Their biker shorts, leggings, and sports-bras are true to size and so flattering. The thicker material is still breathable and really feels like it’s holding everything in place. Sometimes, when i’m wearing different active wear, I don’t want to venture outside my home due to feeling naked in ultra-thin material where your underwear is totally visible. I always feel confident wearing GF Collective outside of just working out!

    Feedback

    I find the shorter inseam of the running shorts to be more flattering than that of the biker shorts

  • I received a pair or girlfriend collective leggings when they were first starting out years ago and still have them (paid the shipping then got free leggings). They’re super soft and cozy and the quality has held up pretty well. There is no pilling, not degraded/stretched out, still passes the squat test. My dog hair clings to them a lot and one part of the stitching has become loose but otherwise still great after years.

  • Hands-down some of the best sports bras I own. I own two of the Juliets and they quickly became a staple in my weekly rotation. I've had them for almost three years and they look and feel exactly as they did when I first bought them.

  • The best clothes I own!! They’re buttery soft and fit perfectly!! I wear their clothes daily and absolutely love the way they make me feel. Definitely worth the money!!

  • Such a cute brand and love their sustainable mission!

    Feedback

    I'm 5'8 and they don't have any pants that are long enough which is disappointing!

  • Overall, I love the brand’s mission, sustainability, and inclusive sizing and marketing. Seeing models with all different body types is a great shopping experience. I’ve placed around five separate orders with GC, and have been impressed with the quality of almost everything. I’ve ordered sports bras, bralettes, underwear, tops, exercise dresses and leggings. I haven’t had a great experience finding leggings that I like the fit of here, but the rest of the items are some of my favorites in my closet.

    Leggings fit could be improved

  • Since their inception I’ve been a fan of girlfriend, I have always been happy with the high quality of materials used and the longevity of any of the products I have used.

  • Love love my girlfriend collective bra tops and leggings. I was one of their early adopters when they gave out free leggings at the price of shipping! Since then, have purchased about 3-4 sets. The fit is fantastic and I just love how inclusive it is - giving an option for more petite frames like mine. They were one of the earliest brands to truly adopt a circular, green element to e-commerce and have since encouraged a flurry of brands to follow suit.

    Feedback

    I live in Asia so getting it shipped to this part of the world is rather challenging. Worldwide shipping would be fantastic.

  • Overall, love GC's workout wear. It's perfect for barre or pilates classes with lots of movement. The yoga pants are my favorite and stay put during an entire class.

    Feedback

    The sizing definitely runs half a size too small and there's not a lot of give in the fabric.

  • Fits great, very comfortable, love the recycled materials and innovation! have a bra made from recycled water bottles.

  • Material: Love that everything is sustainable but the fabrics are heavier, less breathable, and less flexible than other athletic wear (for the original fabrics, especially their leggings). They do have a lighter fabric which I love - they clearly had gotten this feedback before and listened to their customers! Sizing: I have a handful of sports bras and I’ve always gotten the same size and some fit much more snug than others, so recommend reading specific reviews before purchasing. Extended sizes: I will say their plethora of sizing scores them major points in my book. My plus sized friends all love this brand for making athletic/athleisure available to them. Shipping: The shipping is the worst part though, it sometimes takes weeks to get products and the tracking isn’t always helpful. I know they are shipping from overseas but it takes weeks.

    Shipping is slow, sizing can be inconsistent across styles
