With activewear collections filled with performance-boosting technology, endorphin-enhancing patterns and innovative Earth-friendly fabrics. They're made from a high-stretch and lightweight fabric that is also sweat-wicking while the fitted cuffs hold the capris in place and the flat comfortable waistband stays secure during your yoga and pilates ritual. Sweaty Betty redefined activewear, shaking up a dull and uninspiring scene by combining bold, dynamic designs with technical performance to create pieces women wanted to wear and be seen in, and helping to kick-start an athleisure trend that’s still going strong today. Running, HIIT, barre, Yoga or Sunday lounging – whatever your favourite activity is, Sweaty Betty has the kit you need to smash your PB, push through one more rep or kick back and relax.

The fabric is thinner than that of most tracksuit bottoms but heavier than most leggings, so they can be worn with a waist- or hip-length top. Embrace every pose with confidence knowing these squat-proof essentials feature a mid-rise waist and cuffed ankles for a secure fit. I recently bought the grey and cream in the sale and like other reviewers have said, the fabric is now much thinner. Sweaty Betty whips up its latest style to take you from that first morning stretch to the routine's final Shavasana: the Gary yoga trousers.

But I’ve worn them so often over the last few strange months that, on a cost-per-wear basis, they’ve been a very good investment. Fitted cuffs also keep them in place, plus they're kitted out with pockets to keep your essentials together while in class. Bukee17 Gary Yoga trousers I purchased a pair of the Gary yoga trousers last year, but the material isn’t the same as my previous pair. And a few weeks ago, I even wore them under a sparkly ’60s minidress to stay warm during a back- garden Zoom hangout.

I love wearing Gary's because they are non restricting and easy to wear and lounge in as well as being great for more yin styles of Yoga, but I can't give them 5 stars as they are too short.Activewear was masculine and shapeless, and I thought it was time to create clothes that made active women feel beautiful and powerful.

The fabric is sweat-wicking and squat proof and shaped in a relaxed fit with a mid-rise waist and fitted cuffs.JoeC Feels cheap, looks shiny I have an original pair from before the fabric change, these new one feel awful in comparison. I much prefer the cropped, the longer ankle cuff is much more flattering and they look as if they are supposed to be cropped rather than too short. Knitted with four-way stretch so you lunge to your thighs' content, they're deemed as 100% squat proof and even wick away moisture. Founder Tamara Hill-Norton (the OG Sweaty Betty) explains: “Back in 1998 it was a very bleak landscape for women’s activewear. Their mid-rise waist is elasticated for comfort, while fitted ankle cuffs keep the legs in place throughout each move.

I'm petite, so usually either go for cropped or 7/8 length and tend to wear them a lot for pilates and yoga - at least 3 or 4 times per week. I don’t really dress them up, as I do with my other go-to lockdown comfy trousers, the Lucy and Yak Alexas.null love GARY collection Love love love the GARY collection - the best casual trouser / legging around. In the seven weeks since I bought them, I’ve never once worn my Sweaty Betty Garudasana yoga pants to practice yoga.
