Plastic and nylon pants!!!!

I love wearing things made out of recycled water bottles. The science behind wearable plastics fascinates me. It's a wonderful way to reuse some of this would-be-trash. Here are some great legging alternatives to companies that overcharge people for these products (I'm looking at YOU, Lululemon).

Girlfriend Collective uses fishing nets to create a soft, compression legging. I was lucky enough to snag a pair of these leggings when they only cost $20! Unfortunately, that promotion didn't last long and they are a little too snug for my bum now (thanks to muscle gain from Pure Barre!). They are really body positive and feature a nice variety of sizes, so there really is something out there for everyone.

Teeki is another brand I love. Their patterns are beautiful and unique, and the lightweight (yet opaque!) fabric is ideal for sweaty workouts when you are stretching in all sorts of positions-- think hot yoga. Very appropriate for the hippie at heart!

Yoga Democracy is one of my favorite legging brands because they feel like a second skin. They make the famous Frida Kahlo leggings I am obsessed with and would wear everyday if I could. I can't say no to one of my favorite artists known for her use of vibrant color! All their leggings and sports bras are made out of recycled water bottles, but some of their leggings have a nice sheen to them without sacrificing the comfort. I especially like wearing these in the summer since they are more lightweight.


my favorite leggings of all time


Athleta. By far one of my favorite brands on the planet. A certified B corporation, they offer an impressive variety of athletic and athleisure clothing for everyday wear. The quality of their products is so high that you can return things AT ANY TIME. They are like the women's version of what
LL Bean used to be. Many products are made out of recycled materials and ideal for travel as well since they never wrinkle. SCORE! The added bonus is that their ads feature a diversity not only in race/ethnic backgrounds, but also in size. AND IN AGE! They are body positive and about empowering ALL women. They have my <3.
