Why Girlfriend Collective earned a C+
About Girlfriend Collective
Recycled water bottles and fishing nets are the raw material behind Girlfriend Collective's leggings and sports bras — the brand built its whole identity around turning plastic waste into activewear, and it publishes which factory made each piece. Sizing runs from XXS to 6XL, which is rarer in the activewear space than it should be, and the fabric has a compressive, thick feel a lot of shoppers compare favorably to pricier brands.
Sizing runs small by most accounts, so it's worth sizing up if you're between two options. Returns are straightforward if you keep tags on, though mailing a refund back costs $7 unless you're a paid member or opt for store credit — something to factor in if you're just trying a piece out.
What they sell
- Leggings and bike shorts made from recycled plastic bottles
- Sports bras and bralettes
- Sweatshirts and lounge sets
- Swimwear and bodysuits
