Or maybe they will continue to put out shoddy apparel, who knows!
If that’s the case, she have voiced her concerns while they were still designing these when she saw the samples?

My guess is that they run a tight shit budget-wise to maximize profit margins, and once they hit a certain point in the design stage they're unlikely to want to go back to make any significant structural changes. To be fair, they know girls like me are going to gobble them up anyway so it's no use revising at that point :rofl:

I can't see them changing. It's not as if other athletes won't have voiced concerns before.

Thats a "No" from me... Those seams ugh why

And the zip up idea looks nice but it doesn't look tapered at the bottom. So it seems like it'll be wide and frumpy around your midriff area. I saw a girl on IG post in her story with it on (idr who though I was half asleep) and I just though it looked too big for someone with a smaller waist.
I like the concept though.

I'm dying at the gif

I know most of y'all don't watch/know Ashley Barron (she's pretty basic) but Im dying for her YT video where she reviews them. She says everything is her favorite and everything is perfect and she's obsessed. I've come to realise which gymshark stuff is total shit though when Whitney barely mentions them. She's looked over a few releases or not hyped up some stuff before.

My thoughts are that my wallet is thankful for the break I'm going to be apparently taking from new GS releases

I got a couple things from the outlet sale and I am not impressed, this was my first order. I got a shirt called the open back vest, the sizing is weird af and got a large to be safe, the shirt is like a dress! I am not small but def not filling that shirt out, here’s to hoping my return goes smoothly! Also got some leggings, I am too lazy to see the name right now so sorry but they are high waited and the top portion is like scuba suit material and the actually letting part on your leg is so thin and not very well fitted.
Victoria’s Secret can keep taking my money instead of this cheap bs

Pants are called fusion cropped pants. I don’t mind how they kinda work like spanx if you will, but how the rest of the material is so thin and lose it sucks

I saw a normal person (aka not a fitness model) wearing the grey and pink ombre leggings and long sleeve shirt at the gym and yikes.. They are not flattering at ALL if you don't have a good amount of muscle and 18% body fat.

I think the long sleeved top from the seamless ombre range looks like someone has drawn a giant penis on the front. Not a good look.

The idea is cute, but I have an itching feeling the sizing is going to be WAY off.

Going off that, what are some good swimsuit clothing companies? I remember Nikki’s friend Ally came out with her own line and I thought it looked cute, but wasn’t trying to spend a lot of money on bikinis that might not be good quality lol.
