Although many brands offer sustainable clothing, searching for activewear can take up a lot of time, which is why it’s best to narrow things down. And if you’re in the market for a new pair of leggings, why not take the sustainable route?

Girlfriend Collective’s Compressive High-Rise Legging fits like a glove, and they’re good for the environment.

Made from 25 recycled water bottles, these bestselling, compressive, squat-proof, ultra-high rise sustainable leggings have racked up more than 17,000 customer reviews. Meanwhile, videos about the viral leggings have received 4.4 billion of TikTok views.

Although shopping online may be convenient, not being able to try things on first (unless you use Amazon’s Try Before Your Buy feature) can make it difficult. Customer reviews help give you a better idea of what the product will look, fit, and maybe even feel like, when it arrives.

“A wardrobe must have,” one Girlfriend Collective shopper wrote. The high-rise legging is available in six different colors including black, white, blue, green, plum and an earthy brown, and they come in sizes ranging from XXS to 6XL.

Need more options? To celebrate Earth Day on Monday (April 22), we’ve collected a list of sustainable leggings to shop which includes supporting small businesses — another way of becoming a more sustainable shopper. Wolven, a Southern California-based brand, carries a selection of leggings that are made from recycled plastics.

And if you’re a fan of Lululemon, arguably one of the largest activewear brands in the world, the company has committed to making at least 75 percent of its products sustainable by 2025. Other activewear and sportswear brands such as Athleta, Nike and Adidas have adopted environmentally-friendly practices and carry products made with recycled materials.
