With a decade under its belt, Fabletics continues to wow fitness enthusiasts, influencers, and fashionistas alike. But what exactly makes this brand stand out in a crowded marketplace?

Leggings that Feel Like a Second Skin 

One of the standout pieces from Fabletics is their leggings for women, often praised for their snug yet comfortable fit. Emma from Powder Rooms couldn’t help but rave about how flattering the leggings are: 

“I can’t express just how comfy and well-fitting the items are. The leggings feel so lovely on, and kind of mould onto me like a second skin but without feeling tight.”  

This skin-like fit allows for maximum flexibility and comfort, making them a top choice for any workout or even for casual, everyday wear

  

So, are Fabletics leggings flattering? According to Emma, they offer a great fit that accentuates your shape without feeling restrictive.

Ava from Daily Mail UK also highlights the versatility of Fabetics leggings. In her review of the Define PowerHold® High-Waisted 7/8 Leggings, she says:

“The perfect lightweight yet supportive leggings for yoga, cardio, weekend lounging and more, this pair was our favourite of the Fabletics offerings we tried."

Ava tackled another common concern of first-timers: Are Fabletics leggings see-through?

She reassures us:

"The polyester-elastane blend is squat-proof (doesn’t go see-through) and stays dry no matter how arduous the workout. 

Plus, the power mesh lining on the waist creates a flattering silhouette for most body types.”

High-Impact Bras for Serious Workouts 

Finding a sports bra that offers both comfort and high-impact support is a challenge many face, but Em from Em Talks shares her excitement about Fabletics’ range of sports bras, particularly highlighting their durability and comfort:  

“The high impact bras are particularly good for running... They're even better because of the price though!”  

After using the brand for over two years, Em vouches for the bras' lasting quality, especially when pushed through serious workouts.

Inclusivity at the Core 

One thing that consistently shines through in Fabletics reviews is the brand’s commitment to inclusivity. From sports bras to leggings or jumpsuits to jackets and coats, the sports wear is designed to suit all body types, with sizes going up to 4X. Chandler from Popsugar also highlights this aspect, saying:  

“Their dedication to inclusivity and diversity, with sizes and designs meant to look good on all kinds of people with all kinds of goals, indicates that they're setting themselves up well for another decade of success.” 

  

Maisie from the Independent UK applauded Fabletics for the versatility of their pieces, particularly with the Effortless Low Impact Bra, which she said was the Best Convertible Sports Bra she tested:  

“The material is not only gentle on the skin but is sweat-wicking and provides a four-way stretch,” she mentions. “The straps, though thin, are adjustable, and can be worn in various ways – simply unlock the clasps to wear straight over the shoulder, cross-body, or even asymmetric”, adding to their customisable appeal for every wearer.

What About Fabletics Men?

It's not just the ladies who have been loving Fabletics' premium activewear. Fabletics Men have become famous around the world for their collection of athletic shorts designed to keep up with any workout.

Laurence from Men's Fitness put the signature all-rounder One Short to the test, and had the following to say:


The One Shorts from Fabletics are designed for versatile training demands. They’re some of the best gym shorts for men and are even suitable for swimming...

The shorts are sleek and streamlined; they fit well without being as tight as other shorts on test. And the outer shorts are stretchy and relaxed without being baggy."
