Is Hollister's Gilly Hicks Activewear Line Worth It?

I have been loving Hollister recently for its trendy items with multiple length offerings and cute styles, so I figured it was time to try its activewear line, Gilly Hicks! Gilly Hicks activewear has a similar feel to Aerie’s Offline collection, as well as Abercrombie’s YPB activewear. This collection features their Active Recharge fabric, including foldover waist flare leggings, wide-leg pants, zip-up jackets, and more!

Thanks for the review. The capri's were hysterical - thanks for the laugh!

The revolutionary war capris cracked me up lmao

Another brand with a surprising activewear brand is Pacsun! They’ve got some cute stuff and it’s on sale pretty often.

Can't agree more with the align tank thing! The neckline is not that flattering... I think the CRZ Yoga's square neck butterluxe longline bra that you tried on in another video did a solid one - I think the square neckline is more flattering and makes it less awkward for me. I don't feel like my chest is hanging out all the time haha. Copying align is such a past tense thing brands should at least make some twists if they want to use the same concept :)

Please do a whole TARGET active wear review. All the lines or Atleast In Motion. I just want to see your thoughts!

My first pair of, at the time, “yoga leggings” was from Gilly Hicks over 10 years ago! Back then the fold over waist was fully in style and their logo was just their name in cursive. Very comfortable, but not stylish at all by current activewear standards. They have a special place in my heart as a step in my gender expression journey, but they have never been all that good 😅

I tried on some pieces in stores, def not the same quality as buffbunny or lulu but affordable if you're wearing it casually

I just saw leggings a woman on TikTok was wearing. I had to ask her the brand. Have you heard of FGM04?
