best sustainable gym leggings with pockets
Girlfriend Collective High waisted 7/8 pocket legging
Credit: THE SPORTS EDIT
Popular demand saw Girlfriend Collective take their original tights (known for selling out faster than sourdough starters during that dark period we’d rather not dwell on, where we were stuck indoors, and bread-making looked to be our only source of relief) and add two hip pockets.
The compressive, squat-proof fabric with a super high-rise fit is part of their appeal, but so is the use of 25 recycled water bottles in the making of each pair.
Pockets: We foresee these high-waisted gym leggings with pockets selling out just as fast as their pocket-less counterparts.
