00:00 Hey guys and welcome back to my channel. So today we have a little difference in scenery today
00:04 because I am at home for spring break and I just got a large package and we're doing a Forever 21
00:10 haul. So I've seen a lot of people do Forever 21 hauls and talking about how great quality the
00:16 activewear is for the price and since we all know I love my affordable activewear I thought I would
00:21 test it out so I ordered like $200 worth of activewear like I didn't already have enough.
00:27 So we're gonna go through and test each one. I'm not gonna do like a full in-depth review like some
00:32 of my other legging videos but because I got so much stuff that would take like that would be like
00:38 a 40 minute video no one needs that so we're gonna do more of like a quick quick review slash haul
00:44 type video. I believe all of this stuff was like $20 or under. I'll include all of the prices. So
00:49 I got a good mix of like sports bras and leggings because let's be honest I have way too many
00:54 leggings and not so many sports bras and tops. I like I seriously don't have very many gym tops at
01:00 all but I'm very specific about my gym tops. I hate when they're loose because like I feel like
01:04 I carry most of my weight on like the lower half of my body so when I wear like a loose top it just
01:08 looks like I'm huge all around you know. You gotta you gotta pick your features to highlight. Let's
01:13 just jump right into this large pile of stuff. So the first thing is this sports bra I believe. I
01:20 thought this was a cute little pastel yellow color. Also I'm sorry if the lighting's not good
01:24 at all my ring light here so we're making do but yeah I believe this is like a medium support.
01:30 What's it called? Just called athletic bra. It was $14.90. Looks pretty cute. It's definitely
01:36 not a high support but I guess we'll see. It feels pretty soft honestly. It feels kind of like the
01:42 Haleo LA leggings that I've talked about a lot. Um yes it says medium support. I got a size small.
01:48 Okay it doesn't say what the fabric's made of but it feels pretty good. It might be a little oh there
01:52 are no pads in it which I honestly take the pads out anyway so okay let's see how this goes. Okay
01:58 so here's the sports bra. It is definitely a light support. There's really there's really
02:03 nothing going on there. I have bras that I sleep in that have more support than this so yeah it's
02:09 definitely a cute bright color. I think it's a nice pastel. Um I feel like with this light color
02:14 you should probably have like some removable cup pads because you can see some nippage um yeah but
02:21 yeah it's a cute little racer back. I think it's definitely if you want like a very lightweight
02:25 yoga bra you could definitely go for this but it's just like a very light support. Also the sports
02:31 bra came with like dirt on it which is not cute so yeah I feel like it was dirty before like even
02:38 dirtier before I wore it but there are little dirt stains. I don't know. Next I have these like
02:45 colorblock leggings since I normally get like I'm normally like a plain color legging gal like I don't
02:52 usually like a whole lot of stuff going on I decided I would choose like a more fun little
02:59 color block situation. Okay so this is definitely like a more like a slicker compression material.
03:04 Um it has that top band which I'm okay with if it's not like too tight um no one wants that
03:12 muffin top you know and then it has these like like little mesh insert paneling where you can
03:17 see the sun going um yeah so this is a little like I don't know perforated I guess you would
03:22 call it and then a little tan bottom so yeah these are like high the high rise performance leggings.
03:28 You want to help me film? Hello? I guess we have a filming buddy now so she hates being locked in
03:36 but I'm closing the door. Okay so these are the um the like little multi-toned leggings and they're
03:43 okay I felt like a lot of the seams here were a little tight um and they just have so many tags
03:51 they're like poking into me that's probably a lot of like stuff I'm showing you um I definitely say
03:57 these are I would probably the mid-rise once you're like still below the belly button for me
04:03 you're not high rise um so I don't know this feels like very like mid butt range um could do a little
04:11 bit better on the high rise but the material is pretty good actually it's a little tight on my
04:15 knees this isn't my favorite let's check if it is squat proof I think that they are squat proof
04:20 okay so I'm gonna give that they're squat proof um I also kind of looked before okay next I tried
04:25 to get those like seamless looking leggings I've seen a lot of people wear on Instagram and I think
04:29 these are the closest ones I've found so these have like a seamless waistband and they're kind
04:33 of like a I don't know rusty kind of like acidy wash color I'd hate to say that because acid wash
04:40 is gross but I don't know these were $17.90 which is pretty good um yeah this is like cheaper than
04:48 most Amazon leggings I found they definitely aren't seamless they have a seam right along here
04:53 and a seam along like the back oh and the front but and they have this like cool ribbing along
04:58 the side so I feel like these could be cute they feel pretty stretchy and they're definitely like
05:04 a more cottony material okay apparently I did order a medium it must have been because they
05:09 didn't have a small available forever 21 is also sold out of stuff a lot which I don't appreciate
05:15 I like to get things when I want them okay so these were actually like okay to get on but like
05:22 I don't understand what forever 21's deal is with like waist height like as you can see the front
05:30 looks like plenty high-waisted which is fine but then like the back it goes so low rise like that's
05:36 like barely over my butt now like not at all high-waisted because like my butt takes up so
05:41 much space I guess but like I don't have like the biggest butt in the whole world like this is not
05:46 this really shouldn't be happening um and these are also medium so I'm not surprised the waist
05:51 is a little big these are definitely like a stretchier legging so maybe if you like don't
05:56 have a lot of curves going on also sorry I'm out of breath I've been trying on a lot of pants um
06:02 just like the back doesn't look very flattering can you see is that is that I would never
06:09 wear these on purpose on accident okay and this is another pair of leggings that I thought looked
06:17 like the ones that people wear on Instagram except I got the cropped one on accident so I'll be
06:22 putting the link to the cropped one in the non-cropped one in the description because I
06:27 personally don't love cropped leggings which is funny because I used to like only wear cropped
06:30 leggings because I thought they were like kept me so much cooler but like they just kind of like cut
06:34 off my leg and not the cutest way but yeah these actually feel pretty cute again they have the
06:39 seamless waistband and it's like a ribbed waistband as you can tell they um these are actually
06:44 seamless except for like the seam connecting the waistband but like there's no seam along the back
06:50 side of the butt or the front so probably no camel toe here and these feel like super stretchy and
06:56 they also have like less ribbing than the other ones but actually I don't even know if this is
07:01 ribbing they just have like this little side like stripe detail which is actually pretty cute
07:06 okay so the leggings are actually pretty good um yeah they're definitely cropped so if you want
07:14 cropped these are cropped if you don't they come in a full length but the waistband is nice because
07:20 it doesn't have the top band it's just like a tiny bit too big on me it's not exactly like
07:25 I don't know they're not the most flush in the waist um and I don't know I think they're
07:31 flattering definitely squat proof so I'm definitely liking them I think that these are definitely like
07:38 probably one of the best leggings um they're very flattering on the booty as you can see I hope this
07:44 lighting is okay I don't like filming at home um it's fine so yeah but like the waistband is just
07:51 like it could be hugging me a little more I feel like they could have tapered in the waistband a
07:55 little bit um but yeah overall I think I would get like a full length on these but I think they're
08:01 like for the price I think these were $17.90 or something these are definitely like a solid pair
08:06 of seamless leggings okay now we're trying this high impact sports bra this one does have pads
08:12 okay they are removable cut pads and it feels more like a cottony material this is definitely
08:18 going to show sweat so if you like have a lot of like underboob sweats probably isn't the greatest
08:22 one but I also don't really care if I get underboob sweat but yeah it's definitely more of a
08:25 cottony type of material it's ribbed it has like a nice thick underband so maybe it'll be nice and
08:31 supportive and it's got a cute little back design so yeah I hope all these things fit because I just
08:38 kind of like guessed on my sizes I don't really look at size charts very much because I don't
08:42 feel like they're always right that's not a really good way to go about things excuse me while I
08:47 suffocate I literally could barely get this on it's so tight I mean I don't know if it's just
08:54 like this one just runs small or because it's supposed to be high impact but I seriously don't
08:59 know how I'm gonna get this off I'm a little scared I didn't even want to put it on as you
09:04 can see there's a lot of little fat spillage which who likes who likes that there's a lot of
09:13 compression um oh this fabric is just really not it's not like stretchy at all it doesn't feel like
09:22 an active wear fabric um yeah I would definitely not recommend this bra I don't know what they're
09:28 thinking it literally is like hurting me so that's a no okay next are these um like high-waisted
09:36 green stripe leggings so the material feels kind of weird it feels a little cheap it doesn't feel
09:42 like feels more on the side of a compression slick material than like a cottony soft material
09:48 but it just kind of feels like not very soft at all like I don't I don't love this I think all
09:53 forever 21 leggings have the top band yeah these just feel okay but I did like the the style I
09:59 thought that the like color was a little unique they also comes with a matching sports bra but
10:03 I think it was out of stock in my size okay so these I would definitely say are more high-waisted
10:10 they actually come up to about my waist they still have the top band but it's actually
10:13 decently flattering the material is like kind of itchy I don't I don't love the material but I
10:20 think they're squat proof but yeah the material just feels like I don't know itchy don't don't
10:28 love it but they are they are actually like very stretchy and like you know lets you move so they're
10:35 not too bad okay these I have the most hope in first of all they feel super soft they're called
10:40 like the high rise performance legging I believe and okay yeah this is definitely the best material
10:45 of any of the forever 21 leggings so far these are a full length legging I got them in the indigo
10:51 color I believe and they have like this little double band like the original lulu aligns um they
10:57 also have the top band though so they're not an aligned dupe for sure but they are pretty cute
11:03 like classic leggings I really had a lot of hope in these but oh like they just like like I'm
11:10 wearing a small which is perfectly fine in other leggings and it was just like these are so tight
11:16 there's like no stretch in the waist I can't even get them up it makes my butt look like an absolute
11:21 pancake um I thought they were like actually kind of soft but this situation isn't flattering my
11:27 crotch is actually like here and these leggings are way down there so I'm not even gonna test
11:34 the swap proofness because I don't even like these okay and to jump on the camo trend um even though
11:42 I've already done like two camo legging videos um I wanted to try these light pink camo ones
11:48 it's like a little bold of a camo print for me and I hope it looks like I'm wearing clothes
11:53 because sometimes when you wear this light pink it's like is she wearing pants so also have the
11:58 top band holding these up to the light they feel like they're gonna be very sheer oh you can like
12:05 I don't know if you can like see me through this that'd be pretty crazy you probably can't um but
12:10 I'm gonna say probably no to the squat proof on these um I think these also came with the top
12:15 and I think this come these come in different colors too um but the material feels a little
12:20 bit cheap it feels like it's definitely like a slick compression type of material but like on
12:25 the cheaper side of things like kind of like when you order an item from like wish or aliexpress and
12:32 it's like a fake item it's just like really really like thin like really thin silky type material
12:38 that's what this feels like so so you know when a legging just like feels cheap and it's just
12:43 really hard to put on that's these boys they definitely are high-waisted as you can see
12:49 there's a little high waist going on but like they so these were the kind of leggings that were like
12:55 they feel like so constricting like moving my leg this much it's just not comfortable and like all
13:01 the other smalls fit me just fine it really is squishing my butt quite a lot they're so sheer
13:08 you can see the tag right there there's the tag so not even a little bit squat proof these are
13:16 probably some of the worst leggings I've worn in a long time I feel like I always see people giving
13:22 such good forever 21 activewear reviews but like to be honest guys I haven't really loved any of
13:28 this like amazon is 10 times better wow I got so many things okay oh this one I'm excited about
13:34 they have a lot of cute like long line sports bras they call them but I would just more call
13:38 them like crop tops but um yeah I mean who who doesn't need a nice little plain black sports bra
13:44 this one has like a little mesh along the top which adds a little fun it has like a little built-in
13:50 bra in it as you can see and it has removable cup pads I don't often like removable cup pads I don't
13:57 know why they can't just put the pads in but this might be the kind of top where I'd wear a bra
14:01 underneath anyway just a little extra support but yeah this is again definitely like a slick material
14:06 and it's like a little thin but for tops like I don't think it really matters like you don't need
14:10 like a squat proof top so okay so I'm definitely liking the length of this sports bra um I would
14:16 definitely take out the removable cup pads because they're not covering everything that I want in
14:20 them too I think it's pretty cute it definitely feels it just feels kind of cheap I feel like the
14:25 quality you get on AliExpress is like better than this um given the prices are pretty similar
14:31 but I do think this style is really cute with a little mesh um and if you don't need a lot of
14:37 support this could totally work for you yeah this doesn't have a whole lot of support I don't know
14:42 how I feel about this this one this one's okay it's probably like my favorite of the tops just
14:45 because I think it's like a nice little cropped length you could totally wear this little outfit
14:50 to the gym and it'd be very cute guys I'm not having a lot of luck with the tops I feel like
14:54 I really was expecting better luck with the tops I've heard great things but I'm really not loving
14:58 them so it's a little sad and lastly this is supposed to be a high impact sports bra it's
15:04 like this little light pink which I think can go with a lot of things it has this like little silky
15:09 band at the top which like I feel like could look a little a little cheap yeah I hope that like
15:15 keeps its shape and everything it also has the same little like silky band type thing on the back
15:21 it's a little crisscross design um these also have removable cup pads so we love that and actually
15:26 the material is like really soft I'm definitely liking the material on this over some of the other
15:32 sports bras so okay let's try so here's like that baby pink sports bra I actually am liking the like
15:39 the band I feel like it's nice like tight and stays against your rib cage and it has like I
15:45 give this one a medium medium support um the back is cute forever 21 really tags their stuff
15:52 like there's so many little tags I don't know if I want to keep this yet okay like the pads are so
15:56 small like if you're going to make a pad in a sports bra please let it cover the entire boob
16:01 because this is not cute so I probably you know I could actually just take these out but I feel
16:06 like without the pads this might be too thin but I think it is cute definitely I think like this
16:12 little like little shiny contour detailing is a little unique so I don't know this one's this
16:19 one's okay for me definitely better than the yellow sports bra okay so I had to put my hair up
16:23 because it's like 100 degrees in my house even though it's the winter I feel like everyone always
16:30 gives forever 21 activewear reviews like really good like really good ratings and everything and
16:35 I'm just like that doesn't make sense gives forever 21 activewear really good reviews and
16:39 it's like oh it's so affordable and good but like I really the only pair of leggings I liked
16:44 were the gray seamless ones and even those like the waistband was just like okay on me
16:49 maybe a full length would be better but I just really like all of the material for the most part
16:54 isn't very stretchy it kind of constricts you and none of the sports bras are very supportive and
17:00 if they are supportive they're so suffocating because there's no stretch in the fabric
17:05 so I really yeah I mean I forget if I actually liked any of these leggings I tried on so many
17:12 but overall I would definitely recommend Amazon leggings over these I mean they're easier to order
17:17 and they're like the same price um also sorry for the sunlight it's so hard to film here and
17:23 I'm sweating it's a struggling day for me so yeah um if this is if you've had good luck with forever
17:31 21 activewear in the past let me know in the comments down below like did I do something
17:36 wrong did I order the wrong things I ordered like 180 dollars worth of stuff and I really don't want
17:40 to keep any of it which is really disappointing because I love activewear and I would have
17:45 happily kept some if it was good so yeah just gonna be real with you guys I didn't love it
17:50 so sorry if you really wanted to like it but it wasn't my favorite so thank you so much for
17:56 watching and if you have any other video recommendations put them in the link below
18:00 and I'll see you next time bye
