I Only Work Out in Pieces From This Athleisure Brand—and They're Throwing a Huge Sale This Week
Eco-friendly company Girlfriend Collective will also pay you to send back your worn-down pieces to be recycled.
Over the past few years, there has been a greater push for sustainable production—especially in the textile industry, which accounts for about 10 percent of global carbon emissions and 20 percent of water pollution. Responsible fashion means buying items that will last for long time, buying used, buying less, and, when buying new, selecting companies that produce their apparel through sustainable means. One of the most popular eco-friendly brands in the women's fashion sphere is Girlfriend Collective, which crafts its clothing with recycled materials such as fabric scraps, fishing nets, and water bottles. Plus, if you've worn your piece to the ground, you can send it back to the activewear brand to recycle instead of throwing it away—the brand will even gift you $15 in store credit to do so.
Founded in 2021, Girlfriend Collective is celebrating its birthday at the moment (hooray!), and its mode of celebration is even better than a party. Until July 5, you can enjoy 25 percent off everything on the brand's site, along with 50 percent off select coveted styles. This includes the comfortable athleisure that the brand gained notoriety for, as well as dresses, tops, sweatsuits, and outerwear. The site is packed with pieces that are bound to last through years of gym days, but my all-time favorites are below.
