Girlfriend Collective High-Rise Legging

Style & Apparel

The Girlfriend Collective High-Rise Legging proves you don't have to sacrifice comfort, performance, or style to make a sustainable choice in activewear. Made from post-consumer water bottles (each pair saves about 25 from landfill), the leggings manage to feel both robust and silky to the touch. The compression is gentle but supportive, great for everything from yoga flow to neighborhood jogs or just a long errand day.


I was surprised at how "squat-proof" they really are. The dense fabric doesn't go see-through and wicks away sweat quickly, keeping workouts chafe-free. Wide range of inclusive sizes and colors - everything from classic black to limited capsule hues - means there's a fit and look for every body and mood. After regular wear and washes, they don't pill, sag, or fade the way other leggings do.


Girlfriend Collective's ethics are as strong as their seams: the material is fully traceable, factories are SA8000 certified, and packaging is 100% recycled and recyclable. It's one of the few athleisure purchases I've made that feels as good long-term as it did on delivery day.


If you're seeking reliable, stylish, and responsible leggings, these deliver - whether you're a daily gym devotee, an all-day desk worker, or a brunch enthusiast. It's the rare swap that hits every mark for sustainability, inclusion, and all-day wear.
