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.

  • One of my favorite brands! I love their mission and over the pandemic, I watched this brand grow & blossom.

  • Solid Athleisure brand. I don’t have much from Girlfriend (a pair of leggings, a windbreaker) but I like wearing them! They’re comfortable and have held up well over the last few years. I think their clothing is very giftable. What differentiates Girlfriend for me is their mission and marketing. I love the sustainability aspect and the inclusivity. Shopping on their website is fun and I love the colors of their products and seeing models of all different sizes.

  • I have had my Girlfriend Collective leggings - since their launch way back when. I've worn them a billion times over the years and they are still in almost perfect condition. No holes, no tears - and still as comfortable and soft as they were when they first arrived at my house. The quality of their products is so good and supportive for active wear. I appreciate that this brand is inclusive for all shapes and sizes - they always have an array of styles and colors to choose from.

  • Love the cost and the style options and these have really lasted for me, much better than some other brands I’ve purchased. Would definitely recommend.

  • Love girlfriend collective! Have had a number of different leggings, sports bras and skirts over the years. I still have my first pair of leggings that I got from them when they first started as a promo, and they still look great and have really held up over the many years and honestly, I can't really say that about any other legging I've ever had. I find the compression texture super comfortable and soft, really great for exercise and movement as theres very little slippage and they really stay in place. Love watching this brand grow and expand their line of products, and I truly feel I can purchase something from them and know I can count on the quality.

  • I’ve heard about this company for years. Love the mission, inclusivity, style, and color selection of this company. My sister raved about the leggings and how they stayed in place no matter the workout. I was so excited to finally get a pair. And while I love the color I was not overly impressed by the end result. I don’t feel the leggings stayed in place any better than any other leggings I own. I also felt they weren’t as breathable as some other pairs I have. I also ordered a sports bra which I like, but probably isn’t the correct size for me. However, not a fault of the company’s but product selection was extremely limited because most items were sold out. It’s great that people like the products so much that they sell out, but if supply is too hard to come by I will just go elsewhere.

  • I'm super loyal to GF—have been buying from them since they came out with their first pair of black leggings around 2014, and I've tried many different products! I love that it's a sustainable brand with consistent quality. Some special highlights for me—the underwear is comfortable and has an actually long enough gusset, the jumpsuits are super cute, the sweats are super comfy, the crop tops are the perfect basics.

    Feedback

    I'd love if they could print the name of a color on the tag of the product. Since there are so many limited edition colors, and since some of them are kind of similar to each other, it's hard to remember which ones I have (and so hard to buy something to match something I already have at a later date).

  • Really great fit, especially the Paloma bra - a true friend to a bustier chest.

    Feedback

    True to size top / bottoms size down.

  • I have bought a lot of products from the Girlfriend Collective because it was my go too athleticwear brand for 2 years! The colors are amazing, the sizing is inclusive up to a 6X and I think the cuts/fit are pretty good. I loveee the biker shorts! I stopped shopping here because after a while, I felt like they were growing and expanding to new styles and it just became hard to navigate how new styles might fit (like the sports bra I wore for years came in a similar style but the cut wasn't working for me). The returns are easy but I just got tired of being presented a million different cuts, ordering them and returning a bunch. Not to mention, my size (L/XL) is usually sold out so it became more work to try and get a set.

  • I have a workout tank from them that I love, such soft stretchy fabric. The sports bra I have feels also very high quality, however I did get leggings and return them because they didn’t have enough all-way stretch to them. As a curvy woman, I want my leggings to be extra comfortable but these felt restrictive so they weren’t for me personally.

    Feedback

    I wish each of their products had more details about the fabric and stretch to better understand what you’re getting before you order it.

  • Their leggings hold up! I've had a couple of pairs for years, and they're still in great condition. The fabric is very thick and there's some compression.

  • Girlfriend is great! I love this inclusive sizing. The color ways are cute and in trend. I’ve worn their leggings and sports bras for over a year and they still look and feel great. I’m excited to try their expanded line in the future!

  • I owned the limited edition cherry colour in their leggings. I accidentally got a hole in it (my fault) but the hole never spread, strangely enough! Great fabric, thinner than Outdoor Voices and pills less easily.

  • I bought the compression leggings, high waisted pocket leggings, and sports bra from GC and love all of them. The quality seems high and holds up over multiple washes and wears, the leggings are squat proof, and have great colors. I love that they use old plastic bottles for their products.

    I wish they had compression leggings WITH pockets because those would be 10/10

  • Love that they're high waisted and keep you tucked in. Don't love how thick the fabric is. They may have reworked some of the fabric over the years, but the 2 pairs I have are both a bit thicker than I like my activewear to be.

  • They are really the best leggings and the quality has held up over time--in two ways. I have a pair that I got ages ago when they were giving away the leggings for free and I still wear them. Additionally, ones that I have purchased recently (fun colors!) still feel the same (aka the brand is not cutting corners now that they have a base). I also love that they're unbranded/no logo.

  • I ordered their compressive high rise leggings back before the brand had launched when they were giving away free pairs and you just had to cover the cost of shipping. This was probably 5 years ago and they have held up so well! They're the perfect leggings - well-fitting, don't stretch out, they don't fade, and I just feel so good in them even though they are compressive.

  • so many choices to choose from you’ll find something that you love. I love that it’s a vegan clean, high-quality organic brand with good standards and sustainable practices along with soft, good quality clothes last long and cotton.

  • Girlfriend Collective stands out for its dedication to ethical practices, inclusive sizing, and quality materials. While there are some considerations regarding sizing and price, many customers find the investment worthwhile for the comfort, durability, and sustainability offered. If these values align with your priorities, Girlfriend Collective is a brand worth exploring.
