Girlfriend Compressive Pocket Legging
Girlfriend has been a leader in sustainably made activewear for several years now. I’ve been wearing the same pair since 2020, and they’re still holding up like new. Their leggings are made of 79% recycled plastic water bottles and 21% spandex and you can recycle them through supercircle. They handle high intensity workouts, sweat and heat really well, and they are soft but extremely sturdy. You’ll never catch these babies ripping at the worst possible moment.
T/ALA Dayflex Wrap High Waisted Legging
Cool and clean, T/ALA is one of the IT fashion brands in active wear, showing us it can be done sustainably. Their Dayflex collection is one of the top sellers, and the wrap waist will keep you snatched. They are made of 75% recycled nylon from pre-consumer waste. They’re the perfect pant for yoga and pilates. Throw on a cute top and you’re ready for brunch.
Boody Motivate High-Waist Tights
Boody specializes in bamboo basics. Bamboo is extremely sustainable as it grows fast and helps keep our air clean, not to mention the fibers are super soft and luxurious. I wear my leggings everywhere from the airport to yoga class. As the fibers do retain some moisture, they’re the perfect go-to for low impact activities and every-day/all-day wear.
MATE Organic Stretch Midi Legging
Basics brand MATE recently introduced MOVE by MATE, a line of clean activewear staples. Their leggings are made of 92% certified organic cotton and 8% spandex, making them ideal to feel comfortable during low impact activities.
