Review: Lucy Activewear

Recently reps from the running and fitness-related clothing company Lucy Activewear contacted me about partnering on a product review and giveaway. This clothing line is sure to entice both runners and yogis alike.

“Yoga. Training. Running. Explore. Whatever activity you choose, lucy wants you to look good and feel good. We believe fitness should be stylish so we design workout clothes — yoga pants and yoga tops, sports bras, running apparel, hoodies, skirts and dresses — to support your active lifestyle. Women live in lucy all day long. We make workout clothes with your whole life in mind.”

I was very impressed with the quality of the item I was sent to try out, the Lucy Cut for Me Legging, which retails for $79.99. (Right now these pants are on sale at $54.99 though!)

“The Cut For Me Legging features flat-locked seams and trim lines for you to cut the legging to your specific leg length — plus the slimming, moisture-wicking strength of lucy powermax™ fabric. Form fitting for peak performance and muscle support; ideal for high-intensity activities.”

Style: I had no complaints here. I found the Lucy Cut for Me Leggings to be stylish and trendy. The purple accent on the ankles is a great addition too. I have worn these pants for both yoga and outdoor running.

Fit/Comfort: The waistband is double thick and even includes a small pocket. I found the extra thickness gave me support on the top and no muffin top either! A win-win. Being petite, I was was worried the pants might be too long for me. I did end up cutting them as short as they go, but as you can see in the photo they still fit me.

Function/Quality: I have worn and washed these pants at least four times now since I received them and they have held up really well through cold water washings with sport detergent. I wondered if the cuffs would fray after cutting them with skissors, but so far they have not.

Overall: I was very pleased with the Lucy Activewear product I was sent. I’ll be keeping their clothing line in mind for future purchases, especially during their sales. The full retail on these pants are the only deterrent I could find.
