Like other styles from the brand, the eco-friendly Maternity Leggings are made from recycled fishing nets and promise a "soft, next-to-nothing feel" with their comfortable high-rise style, which can easily be rolled down to create more breathing room as desired. The comfort-focused Maternity Legging is offered in sizes that run from XXS to 6XL, offering a breathable athletic bottom with sweat-wicking, four-way stretch features for all women. In comparison to traditional nylon leggings, these ones from Girlfriend Collective help to save tons of energy, CO2 and oil. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Maternity Clothing:** Opportunity to develop more eco-friendly and comfortable clothing options for pregnant women. - **Recycled Textile Fashion:** Opportunity to create sustainable fashion products using recycled materials, such as fishing nets and water bottles. - **Inclusive Sizing:** Opportunity to cater to a wider range of body types and sizes with sustainable activewear products. ### Where This Applies - **Sustainable Fashion:** The fashion industry has room to innovate by incorporating more recycled and eco-friendly materials into clothing lines. - **Maternity Clothing:** There is an opportunity to innovate the maternity clothing industry by offering more eco-friendly and inclusive options. - **Sportswear:** The sportswear industry can embrace sustainable materials and inclusive sizing to create comfortable and ethical activewear products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Performance Recycled Polyester Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/id-train-colorblock-leggings.md) - [Eco-Minded Workout Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-2.md) - [Supportive Maternity Shapewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maternity-shapewear.md) - [Sustainable Ocean Waste Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ocean-flex.md) - [Sustainable Shapewear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oceanhug.md) - [Luxury Eco-Conscious Socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madmia.md) - [Biodegradable Undergarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparepair-underwear.md) - [Sustainable Performance Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-sportswear.md) - [Sustainable High-End Swimwear Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aventura-swimwear.md)
