I really like Girlfriend's ethos and product line, and I had a pair of leggings from them that I loved. Unfortunately the material (the "Lite" fabric) was very pill-prone and not as durable as I would've liked. I guess others felt the same way, because they discontinued them rather quickly. But they were <i>ridiculously </i>comfortable and a perfect fit. I think I'm going to try their new lightweight version, the "Float" the next time I want to add a pair of leggings. I also wish they'd come out with some longer inseams for their shorts. I tried the bike shorts when they first came out and they hit my legs at such a weird spot. I tried one of the bras, too, but it was a poor fit for me as well. I am quite short through the shoulders and rib cage, so styles without adjustable length straps rarely work for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>BTW, which colour did you get? They have so many fun ones now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-girlfriend-collective-athleticlounge#post-2163906 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 00:50:19 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2163906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Great review--thanks!

They are a sustainability-focused brand and I was drawn by that and by the very wide size &amp; racial diversity of their models, since I prefer to shop at places who showcase a lot of different types of people. Their size range -- and their models! -- go from xxs (22.5" waist) to 6xl (52" waist). The fabric is comfortable and pretty stretchy -- by strict measurements, I am right between XXL &amp; XXXL, and the XXL leggings have plenty of room for me in it, and don't slide down or move around. I have gone for runs in them and also biked a bunch in them. The pockets are plenty large enough for my phone, and positioned so that my phone is comfortably against my thigh in a place where it will neither get sat on nor fall out if I'm biking (absolutely not true of all legging pockets).&nbsp;</p> <p>Sadly, their bras do not fit me! I have too big a difference between bust measurement (46 1/2") and underbust measurement (33"). The bras I got are are size XXL (44-46" bust measurement) -- my usual compromise in soft bras like this is to buy the size below the bust measurement in the hopes the band will offer some support. In this case, there was neither any support nor enough fabric in the front to deal with my breasts. For comparison, my usual soft bra is the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://tomboyx.com/collections/essentials-soft-bra">TomboyX Essentials Soft Bra</a> in size XL, 41.5-43.5" bust/36-39" underbust -- it provides some support and has almost enough fabric for coverage, so it is an OK compromise size. Girlfriend Collective bras looked stretchy and accommodating on the website so I took a chance, but no dice -- it's just the wrong cut for me.&nbsp;The colors are lovely, the stitching is good-quality, and the fabric is soft and comfortable -- same as the leggings -- but I would recommend that anyone over a D-cup purchase with caution (I suspect it will depend on your exact breast shape and the exact bra), and over a G-cup definitely look elsewhere. A friend tried them at the same time I did and loves them! She wears hers as sports bras and says they're great.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will definitely be going back for another pair of pocket leggings, and possibly some briefs. They have a wide variety of athletic wear and some comfy-looking loungey pieces, in a lot of colors. They will also recycle their own items once worn out, which I think is a nice touch! Prices range from about the mid-$30s to around $100ish for most items. </p>
