Sustainable clothing styles always seem to be restricted to natural, muted color palettes but Girlfriend Collective's new limited-edition drop introduces neon activewear that diverts water bottles from landfills. The bold and bright Expressionists Collection includes an eye-catching Acid colorway that pairs equally well with electric pinks and blues or even subdued blacks. As Girlfriend Collective describes: "Acid has a bright yellow undertone, while Lime (Earth Day 2019) had a lighter green undertone."
As well as offering color as a standout feature, this new athleisure drop from Girlfriend Collective also introduces unique silhouettes like the versatile one-shoulder Bianca Bra, the Freddie Crop top that could transition from the gym to a night out and bike shorts with drawstring details. As ever, these sustainable athletic styles are recycled and recyclable with ReGirlfriend at the end of their usable life.
