00:00 Hey guys and welcome back to my channel.
00:02 Today I am reviewing a bunch of stuff
00:04 from Gymshark's new Legacy Collection
00:06 and their Laser Cut Collection,
00:08 which is another collection they just didn't hype at all.
00:11 I haven't seen a single post about these,
00:13 but I'm gonna review them anyway.
00:14 Sometimes Gymshark has some hidden gems,
00:16 sometimes they have some really questionable things.
00:19 I actually was pretty excited for their Legacy Collection
00:22 because it's kind of like their old school Gymshark logo.
00:25 Basically this is kind of like a little sneak peek.
00:27 I think it usually says Gymshark Fitness,
00:29 but it kind of cuts off in the sports bra
00:30 and it's like a shark that has major biceps.
00:34 Can't relate.
00:35 They have a lot of really, really cute items.
00:37 I don't think this is one of their really out there launches
00:40 like recently.
00:40 I'm really excited for the sweatshirts
00:42 and the sweatshorts kind of style.
00:44 I think that's really OG Gymshark.
00:46 Honestly, these things are still kind of up there
00:48 in the normal Gymshark price range
00:50 and you would have thought maybe since they're kind of going
00:52 like old school Gymshark logo,
00:53 maybe they would have gone old school Gymshark prices,
00:56 like $30 for leggings and stuff,
00:58 but it's still like 45 to 50.
01:01 Okay, without further ado, let's just get started.
01:04 So the first item I want to talk about
01:05 are their Legacy Fitness Panel Leggings.
01:08 These were $45 and these are the only pair of leggings
01:11 in the collection, I believe.
01:12 They say right on the website to size up
01:14 if you want your normal Gymshark fit,
01:15 but then the model on the website's wearing an extra small
01:18 and she's like usually wearing an extra small.
01:20 So I don't know, I got a medium.
01:21 It doesn't look like it's gonna be too big on me.
01:24 The fabric is kind of interesting.
01:26 They say that this is a performance legging
01:27 meant for lifting.
01:29 The fabric is definitely pretty cottony.
01:31 It's already started to collect some lint.
01:33 It has a few fuzzies on it
01:34 and I could definitely see it pilling.
01:36 It's definitely like a super brushed, cottony material.
01:39 It's not as soft as their Poise leggings,
01:42 which were super, super soft,
01:43 and it's a little thicker and stuff definitely seems
01:45 like a bit stiffer.
01:46 They have a lot of little seams and panel detailing
01:48 going around the leggings.
01:50 So I'm gonna try these on
01:51 after I talk about the sports bras.
01:53 I got the Legacy Fitness Sports Bra and the Bralette
01:55 'cause I kind of wanted to see the difference.
01:57 They're both $35 and the sports bra says
02:00 it's a light support.
02:01 I got this in a size small,
02:02 even though they said to size up.
02:04 I also got the Bralette in a size medium
02:05 so we can kind of like see sizing.
02:07 They both have adjustable straps.
02:09 The sports bra has like a single row of adjustable straps
02:11 and the Bralette has like a double adjustable straps.
02:14 So the Bralette definitely seems
02:16 like it'll have more support.
02:17 This one does say medium support
02:18 and this one says light support.
02:20 They both seem to have some padding inside.
02:22 It feels kind of like thin padding,
02:23 which is honestly fine with me.
02:25 Made of the same material as the leggings.
02:27 This one, I'm kind of like questioning
02:28 why they had the logo kind of like cut off.
02:31 I do think it's cute to have the bigger logo
02:33 on the sports bra,
02:34 but it kind of just like cuts off
02:36 and you can't see the bottom of it.
02:37 So like, I don't really know what the point of that was.
02:39 And it's kind of like a regular like V-neck in the front
02:43 and like classic like tanked out back.
02:45 And the Bralette is a little more coverage,
02:48 a little more high neck it looks like.
02:49 And it has some more panel detailing in the front,
02:52 but the back is very similar.
02:53 And yeah, these really do like collect a lot of lint.
02:55 I already see them getting like hair and like fur on that.
02:58 Like I put them on the ground in my room
02:59 for like half a second.
03:00 Oh, Gymshark, you let me down yet again.
03:04 I'm so disappointed guys.
03:05 These leggings, I really thought they were gonna be good.
03:08 And there's just a lot of issues that I have.
03:11 Okay, so first of all, Gymshark,
03:13 why are we making these thick wintry fabrics in the summer?
03:17 I'm trying these on, it's like 80 degrees and I'm hot.
03:21 So yeah, not loving.
03:23 This is a very, very thick fabric.
03:25 Issue number two, the sizing.
03:27 Okay, if you watch my channel a lot, you will know,
03:29 I'm basically always small on Gymshark.
03:31 There's like literally very, very few exceptions.
03:34 And these leggings, I struggled so much to get on.
03:37 The legs are so tight.
03:39 There's absolutely no give to them.
03:40 I can barely even pick them off my legs.
03:42 They just like really,
03:44 this fabric has very minimal stretch.
03:46 I really don't enjoy the fabric at all.
03:49 I definitely think size up, if not size up two times,
03:52 just because I'm like kind of like pretty uncomfortable
03:54 in these just because they were so hard to get on.
03:57 Some positives are there's no camel toe going on
03:59 in these leggings.
04:00 They're also very compressive.
04:02 So if you like really thick, compressive leggings,
04:04 these could be for you.
04:05 I also don't think you'd have any cellulite problems
04:07 with these because the fabric is so thick and compressive.
04:10 But some negatives of all that is
04:12 it's totally a butt squisher.
04:14 I feel like I'm wearing a diaper right now
04:15 because it's like so, it's making my butt like so unibutt.
04:19 Also, what is with this new trend that Gymshark is doing
04:22 where they're putting a seam below the butt,
04:24 kind of like shorts.
04:25 Like it's not flattering.
04:27 It's not lifting my butt.
04:28 It feels like it's like bringing my butt down.
04:30 And if you have a bigger butt,
04:31 the seam will probably be like in the middle of your butt,
04:34 which is not cute.
04:34 You don't want to cut off the line of your butt in any way.
04:37 I think the concept of these leggings is great.
04:39 Like I love that they're bringing back their old logo.
04:41 These leggings probably would be nice in the winter
04:44 because they are definitely thick and plush.
04:46 The waistband's also pretty good.
04:47 Like I'm not getting a lot of like
04:48 cutting into the waist region.
04:50 It kind of has a top seam, but it's not a thick elastic.
04:53 So it's not cutting in a lot.
04:54 But I think Gymshark could have made this collection
04:56 in kind of like a more lightweight, stretchy material
04:59 because this just doesn't feel
05:01 like it was meant to be an athletic material.
05:03 It's super restricting and compressive.
05:05 And it's just like not my ideal gym legging material.
05:09 (upbeat music)
05:11 (upbeat music)
05:14 Now for the sports bra.
05:20 I didn't address the straps much
05:21 because I just like really didn't feel like it.
05:23 But actually like this is a small in the sports bra
05:26 and I'm usually a small in Gymshark sports bras.
05:28 I honestly think you can go with your normal size
05:30 on the sports bras.
05:31 It's definitely compressing me,
05:32 but I actually look for compression in a sports bra
05:34 because I just feel like that helps with support.
05:36 Definitely not a lot of support in this
05:38 because of the thin straps.
05:39 So they were right to say it was a light support.
05:41 I'm still kind of unsure of this logo,
05:43 especially if you have boobs too.
05:45 They kind of like cover up the bottom of the shark
05:48 a little bit.
05:49 So if you have boobs, like don't get this light support one.
05:51 I think the back is pretty cute and basic.
05:53 No issues with it.
05:54 I do like how the straps are adjustable.
05:56 I think this fabric would definitely show sweat
05:58 because it's so like cottony.
06:00 It's basically like wearing a plush cotton t-shirt.
06:02 It's just gonna show some sweat.
06:04 (upbeat music)
06:07 (cat meowing)
06:09 Okay, here is the bralette style top.
06:14 I honestly like it like so much more.
06:16 It's actually pretty supportive.
06:18 I would definitely say medium, maybe even high support.
06:21 You're not showing a lot of cleavage.
06:23 I do like the logo, how you can see more of it here.
06:25 It also goes like kind of well
06:27 with the logo on the leggings.
06:28 It's like right on top of each other.
06:30 I think the panel detailing on the top
06:32 is much cuter than on the little sports bra.
06:35 It's pretty supportive.
06:35 I'm pretty impressed.
06:36 This is the medium and actually I would recommend
06:38 getting a size up in this.
06:40 I don't know what the deal with the sports bra was,
06:42 but I definitely love the medium in this.
06:44 I wouldn't have gone any smaller
06:45 because the fabric is so thick and compressive.
06:47 I probably wouldn't have been able to get it on
06:49 if it was any smaller.
06:50 I'm definitely a little disappointed in the leggings
06:52 and the overall composition and material.
06:54 I think they could have done a lot better of a job
06:56 because I definitely think it's really cool
06:57 to bring back this logo.
06:59 I just really do not like the leggings at all.
07:01 But the sports bras are honestly pretty cute.
07:03 You could pair one of these with like maybe
07:04 the sweat shorts, that might be cute.
07:06 (upbeat music)
07:08 Next I have the Legacy Fitness shorts, which were $35.
07:16 At least in this color on the website,
07:17 they're actually sold out already,
07:19 which Gymshark hasn't sold out of an item in a hot minute
07:21 because their recent releases have frankly
07:23 not been the cutest.
07:24 So basically they're just kind of like a classic
07:26 little sweat short.
07:27 I think these are really cute.
07:28 They definitely remind me of the shorts I wear
07:30 on the house all the time, aka what I'm wearing now.
07:32 They have the old school Gymshark logo
07:34 in a little pocket on the back.
07:35 It's definitely like a thick sweatshirt kind of material.
07:38 Super soft on the inside,
07:39 like when you get a brand new sweatshirt
07:41 and it's just like super fuzzy.
07:42 The only thing I'm a little bit concerned about
07:43 is that the waistband is just a straight up
07:45 like piece of elastic, which like usually
07:47 isn't the most comfortable or flattering.
07:49 This could prove me wrong, I don't know, but let's see.
07:52 Okay, here are the shorts.
07:53 They're definitely like super poofy.
07:56 I think that they're like a little too poofy for my liking.
07:59 They're definitely very like airy and lightweight.
08:03 I feel like I can really like just be myself in these,
08:06 but I also feel like I'm a child wearing a diaper.
08:09 So I'm a little mixed.
08:11 Definitely true to size for these.
08:12 An elastic waistband is that like
08:14 you can't really tighten it,
08:15 and it does this thing where it kind of like
08:17 bubbles if it's a little big.
08:19 So I definitely am not a huge fan of the elastic.
08:22 I was a little worried that you'd have risk
08:24 of flashing in these, but I do feel like
08:26 they're actually pretty secure
08:28 and like I'm not gonna flash anyone.
08:29 I really like the Gymshark butt pocket doodad.
08:31 It also has little front pockets.
08:33 I think this comes down to personal preference.
08:35 I personally don't like my shorts to be like this balloony,
08:39 but I do think they're very soft and very comfy.
08:42 And then I had to get the Legacy Fitness sweatshirt.
08:45 This is $40, and this I think is probably
08:47 my favorite item of the collection.
08:49 First of all, it's this really cute yellow color,
08:50 which I'm not frankly sure I even look good in yellow,
08:53 but it's trendy and it's cute, so I got it.
08:55 It has a little like pinstripe white thing on the side,
08:58 and then the classic logo in the middle,
09:01 and it feels actually like a pretty high quality
09:03 like vinyl stick on that doesn't feel
09:06 like it's gonna come off.
09:06 I got this in a medium, and it does say
09:08 it's already an oversized fit online,
09:11 so I don't know if this is gonna be
09:12 like a double oversized fit.
09:14 Maybe I should've gotten a small, I don't know.
09:17 Okay, this is definitely my favorite thing
09:19 I've gotten so far.
09:20 I think I am totally fine with the medium.
09:22 It's definitely a boxy oversized fit,
09:24 but I don't think it's too boxy and oversized.
09:27 I just really feel like a Gymshark athlete
09:29 in this sweatshirt.
09:30 It just feels really cool, really fun.
09:32 It's super soft.
09:33 It's a very nice cropped length.
09:35 It covers the bra, but it's definitely still cropped,
09:38 and I also like how they didn't leave like an open end.
09:41 Sometimes people with cropped sweatshirts,
09:43 they just kinda like do like an open cut hem.
09:45 I definitely prefer if there's like a real hem.
09:48 It's definitely a little long on my hands,
09:51 so definitely good for if you got like long noodle arms.
09:55 Definitely moves around a little bit when I do that,
09:57 but like as any sweatshirt would.
09:59 I think this is really cute.
10:00 I'm not really sure how I'd love it for summer.
10:02 I think the yellow is really fun.
10:03 I think it'd be nice with like a pair of little
10:05 like jogger sweatpants or something.
10:07 (upbeat music)
10:10 And then I got the Laser Cut collection,
10:14 which was definitely not hyped at all.
10:16 The Laser Cut tights are $55.
10:18 These are definitely advertised
10:19 as like a performance leggings.
10:21 I'm definitely gonna keep that in mind when trying them on
10:23 and make sure that it's true.
10:25 It definitely does feel like a slick performance material.
10:27 Not gonna get any pilling or any kind of like lint on this.
10:31 They do also feel very thin.
10:33 You can see the fabric is like very thin and flimsy,
10:35 so I'll be interested to see if they're squat proof.
10:37 These look like they're gonna be high rise,
10:38 but they don't have a very thick waistband,
10:40 which sometimes is flattering because then you get
10:42 more room like around your butt
10:43 and the waistband doesn't cut off the butt.
10:45 Okay, honestly, this is how you make a summer fabric.
10:49 It's super thin, super lightweight,
10:51 and definitely feels airy,
10:52 and I don't feel like I'm really hot in this,
10:55 and it definitely wasn't a struggle to get on.
10:57 It has a lot of stretch to it.
10:59 It's definitely hard to pull up
11:01 because these little laser cut details are very delicate,
11:04 and I felt like my nails were going through them.
11:06 The back has like a little like pointy detailing,
11:09 and the waistband goes above your butt,
11:11 so it's not gonna cut off in the middle of your butt,
11:13 which is more flattering.
11:14 They don't have that weird seam at the bottom of the butt,
11:16 which I don't know what they've been doing.
11:17 I'm not getting any camel toe,
11:19 even though these are very thin.
11:20 Again, saying these are very thin,
11:22 you're probably gonna get a little bit of cellulite,
11:24 but also because they're so thin,
11:26 I feel like they're not squishing my booty down in any ways.
11:28 So I'm actually kind of liking the leggings.
11:31 I feel like they're really thin and lightweight.
11:32 If you like a slick kind of performance material
11:35 that's super lightweight,
11:36 I think that these leggings are really cute,
11:38 and I like that they come in this neutral color,
11:39 even though I feel like I kind of look naked right now.
11:41 They just have one little logo around the hip here.
11:44 They also have one of these little like laser cut pockets,
11:47 which I don't love this kind of pocket
11:48 because they literally just like cut the fabric
11:51 and then lined it with like this stuff,
11:53 so I don't think that's like the best quality.
11:56 They remind me a lot of the Duo leggings,
11:58 except in a slick material,
11:59 but still a lot of that same like thin, stretchy vibes.
12:02 The leggings also feel like they have like
12:03 a little thickness inserted into the waistband,
12:06 like kind of like an elastic, but not as restricting.
12:09 That actually feels like they're offering
12:10 a little bit of extra compression, which is kind of nice.
12:12 [upbeat music]
12:16 [bell dings]
12:18 And then I got the laser cut sports bra, which is $40.
12:27 It has like this interesting wrap design.
12:29 I think it's cute on this side.
12:30 This side kind of like looks like it like cuts off,
12:32 and I'm not really sure about that.
12:34 They also have double adjustable straps in the back,
12:36 and actually the support on this looks pretty good
12:38 because it does have a bra hook closure with three clasps.
12:41 So usually I see this mostly on bras
12:43 that come in like actual bra cup sizes and everything,
12:46 but this one is just small, medium, large.
12:47 I believe we got a small 'cause it's my normal size,
12:50 but this actually, like, I feel like this might be
12:52 like more of a high support.
12:53 So I guess we'll see.
12:54 Here's the sports bra.
12:55 I thought I would like it more.
12:58 I just feel like this isn't very flattering.
13:00 It's like, okay, we got a little wrap here.
13:03 That's cute.
13:03 We probably should have just done the wrap on both sides
13:05 'cause I don't know what this little situation is.
13:08 I just feel like it kind of like cuts off your boobs.
13:11 It's like, okay, I'm wearing a bandeau,
13:12 and then I have this like little fabric over the top.
13:14 Not my favorite.
13:15 It's actually pretty, I'd say medium to high support.
13:18 I do like that it has the bra hook closure.
13:21 It has four adjustable straps.
13:23 I definitely appreciate that Gymshark is making more options
13:25 for larger chested girls.
13:27 It's definitely a double thickness fabric,
13:29 and I'm getting a lot of compression.
13:30 You can't really see the outline of the pads,
13:32 so that's good with me.
13:34 I just like don't really think that this is that cute.
13:36 I wish they made like a different kind of option
13:38 for the top that wasn't like this
13:40 'cause the leggings are actually pretty decent.
13:42 Like I don't hate the leggings.
13:43 So yeah, that's it on the laser cut collection.
13:46 [upbeat music]
13:49 That's really it for me for this video.
13:52 I'm a little disappointed with the Legacy collection
13:55 just 'cause I really liked the old school Gymshark logo,
13:57 but I think the sweatshirt is definitely really cute,
13:59 and if you get like their track suit joggers
14:02 that I didn't review,
14:03 I think those would also be really cute,
14:05 but definitely like an oversized look.
14:06 The material on the leggings was just like really way
14:09 too wintry and compressive,
14:10 and made my butt feel really flat.
14:12 So I just didn't like it.
14:13 And I like the laser cut,
14:15 except for the top isn't very cute,
14:16 but I did feel like the leggings are very lightweight,
14:19 and they definitely feel super stretchy,
14:21 and like the kind of legging I would wanna wear
14:23 during the summer.
14:24 So yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
14:26 Make sure to subscribe.
