00:00Hey guys, and welcome back to my channel.
00:02It has been like probably two to three weeks
00:05since I've filmed anything
00:06because I've been like literally so swamped
00:09with exams and life and just things.
00:11But now I'm on spring break
00:12and I'm gonna be doing a lot of filming and a lot of videos.
00:14So make sure to subscribe if you're new
00:16because there's gonna be a lot of new stuff coming up.
00:18Anyways, my name is Kathryn
00:19and we do a lot of honest activewear reviews on this channel
00:22and today I'm reviewing a brand
00:24that I've wanted to try for so, so long
00:26and they did not disappoint.
00:28And the brand is CLS Sportswear.
00:30This brand is super cool, it's women owned
00:32and they make the most flattering leggings for your booty.
00:36I'm not just talking about booty scrunch,
00:37they do have like super high quality booty scrunch leggings
00:40which usually when I have a booty scrunch legging
00:42it's like kind of on the cheaper side.
00:43So I feel like that's super unique
00:45but they also just have regular leggings
00:46that also just make your booty go wow.
00:48Like I said, they're women run and women owned
00:51which I love supporting brands like this
00:53which I don't know if I'm the only one
00:54who's like kind of surprised
00:55by the few number of activewear brands
00:58that specialize in women's activewear
01:00that are also like made and run by women.
01:02Like that should be more of a thing.
01:04They literally have making booty scrunch leggings
01:06down to a science.
01:07They have four levels of scrunch,
01:09you can customize your leggings.
01:11This brand is like kind of insane.
01:13All of their fabrics are sourced from Brazil
01:15but all of the pieces are handmade in the US
01:17and like I mentioned, they do do custom pieces.
01:20They take about four to five weeks to do custom orders
01:23but I really do see their pieces
01:24as kind of like an investment
01:26because they're so high quality and so durable.
01:28So yeah, let's talk about some leggings.
01:33So first I wanna just break down their booty scrunch guide.
01:36They just have normal which is no scrunch at all.
01:39They have a booty enhance
01:40which just kind of divides the booty
01:42but it's not like a real like scrunch.
01:45There's a mild scrunch
01:46which kind of like gently divides the booty
01:49and there's a scrunch butt which is maximum scrunch
01:52and I do have a scrunch butt
01:54as well as a normal pair of leggings to try today.
01:56I think I would prefer like the enhance or mild scrunch
01:59because I don't always like to wear things
02:01that look like an entire booty scrunch
02:04but I do like the amount of separation it gives.
02:06They also have more ways you can customize the leggings.
02:09You can have different lengths.
02:10They have capri, 7 8ths and full
02:12and 7 8ths would probably be good
02:14if you were on the shorter side
02:15so you could kind of like use a 7 8ths as your full length.
02:18They have a normal waistband, high waist, V cut
02:21and a low waist.
02:22I have a V cut and a high waist today.
02:25I'm not team low waist.
02:26We don't like low waist.
02:28And if you go to their website,
02:29anything with the NC in the front means it's not custom
02:33and that will be shipped within two business days
02:35and they do have a lot of non-custom options
02:37if you don't want to like wait four to five weeks
02:39for your leggings.
02:40Also guys, I totally forgot to mention
02:41they actually did give me a discount code for you guys
02:44so you can save 10% with Catherine M.
02:47I'll have it on the screen.
02:48I'll have it down below but that's really helpful
02:50because they are a little bit pricey
02:51so you save a little money with that.
02:53So the first leggings I'm talking about
02:55are the seamless front leggings.
02:57I don't know what is the name and what is the color
02:59but I will have everything linked down below.
03:01So these leggings are 69.95.
03:04All of the CLS leggings are a little bit
03:06on the more expensive side
03:07but you'll see throughout this video,
03:09I do think that they're worth it
03:10because they're super high quality
03:12and they're super durable as well.
03:13So these leggings you can customize
03:15to either have like whatever waistband you want
03:17but these are the V front leggings
03:19and something about like the V is just so flattering
03:22because it kind of comes up on the sides
03:24and hides like the love handle area
03:26but still like shows a decent amount of your stomach.
03:28These kind of have a little double V detail.
03:30They do have like multiple seams at the top
03:32and these ones are a full booty scrunch.
03:35So this is like the highest level
03:36of booty scrunch they offer
03:37and they also have no seam in the front.
03:39Sometimes an issue with booty scrunch leggings
03:42is they can kind of like pull a lot
03:44and if there is a front seam,
03:46they can create some camel toe.
03:47So they literally solved the problem here
03:50and just took away the front seam
03:51so there's like no risk for camel toe at all.
03:53I have a size small.
03:54They do run just like a tiny bit big
03:56so I would size down if you're in between.
03:58You can see how these fit on me
03:59when I try them on in just a second.
04:01So all of the fabrics feel about the same to me.
04:03They are kind of a slick performance material
04:06but they're not like shiny or cheap feeling at all.
04:08They have a ton of stretch to them.
04:10They're super breathable
04:11and because they're kind of that performance,
04:13slick material, they are good with sweat.
04:15This fabric in particular is a marled fabric
04:18and I'm just trying to show you
04:19what the fabric kind of looks like
04:21but this kind of fabric I did use with my booty bands.
04:25I did wear these on a leg day with my booty bands
04:28that can cause some pilling and fraying in some leggings
04:31but because of the fabric on these,
04:33they will not be pilling or fraying.
04:35So that's a part of the reason
04:36why I think they're worth the price
04:37is you could wear these all the time
04:39and I've washed these
04:40and nothing's happening to the fabrics.
04:43So here are the seamless front leggings.
04:45The fabric feels so nice.
04:46It is very lightweight.
04:48It has a lot of stretch to it.
04:49Like I said, no pilling.
04:50It also doesn't really collect lint.
04:52These ones have about a light to medium compression
04:55so they're not super compressive.
04:57The waistband is probably one of the most flattering
04:59waistbands I've ever seen on a pair of leggings.
05:01It goes really nice and high on the sides
05:04and just kind of gives that like hourglass look
05:06but it also just kind of comes in in the middle
05:09and I don't know, I just feel like this specific
05:11little like crisscross V is just so flattering.
05:14It also goes pretty high in the back.
05:16Usually with booty scrunch leggings,
05:18they dip down a teeny bit
05:19but I think these do like a pretty good job of that.
05:21There is no seam at the top
05:22so it's not gonna cut into you at all
05:24and it's not like too tight up here either.
05:26I'd say the waistband is about a medium compression here
05:29while the leggings themselves
05:31are a little bit of a lighter compression.
05:32The waistband here goes down a little bit as well
05:34for some lower tummy control.
05:35In terms of sizing, I am wearing a size small
05:38and I'd say it's basically perfect.
05:39There's just a teeny bit of extra room here.
05:42It's not crazy but I would say if you're in between,
05:44definitely choose the smaller size
05:46because they are stretchy and just run the tiniest bit big.
05:49These should be sweat proof because the fabric
05:50just feels like the kind that is very sweat wicking
05:53as there is no front seam.
05:54These are the full length and they are a full length on me
05:56to hit right around my ankle.
05:58So these are definitely, so even though I'm tall,
06:00they are fitting me all the way down
06:02but they shouldn't be too long for someone that's shorter.
06:05It wouldn't be one of my videos without Peach.
06:06If you're new here, this is Peach.
06:08She is a little brat sometimes but she's really cute.
06:11So these are definitely high on the booty scale,
06:14not just because of the scrunch
06:15but because the seams also curve around your butt
06:18and they don't cut off the middle of your butt.
06:21Keep in mind, this is the highest level of scrunch
06:23so not every pair of leggings is going to be this scrunched.
06:26You can choose three levels of scrunch below this
06:29if you don't like the super scrunched look.
06:31Something about scrunched leggings
06:32is they can feel a little bit tight doing certain movements.
06:35Let's say I'm doing a squat or deadlift.
06:37This would be kind of like deadlift position.
06:40It does feel tight in the scrunch region
06:42but because it doesn't have that front seam,
06:44it's not super uncomfortable on me
06:46so it didn't really bother me during my workout
06:48like some other scrunched leggings I've had
06:50that can be kind of like, I don't know,
06:52feeling like a wedgie while you're working out.
06:54So I definitely like the scrunch
06:56in the no front seam version
06:58because it just kind of eliminates that whole problem.
07:00In terms of cellulite,
07:01I'd say probably medium cellulite friendly.
07:04I wouldn't expect it to hide all cellulite
07:05but it's definitely thicker than a Lululemon Align
07:08so maybe a little more coverage with that.
07:10So yeah, I'm obsessed with this type of waistband
07:13and these leggings lasted really well in my workout
07:15so I'm a huge fan.
07:16esearcher.com
07:27Next we have a pair of The High Waisted Leggings.
07:30I think these leggings might be my favorite.
07:32At first I was like,
07:32I don't know if I can do this like crazy print
07:35but I'm like really here for these leggings.
07:37So these are high waisted and they have no top seam.
07:40The waistband is slightly tapered
07:42And let me just tell you what is so genius
07:44about this waistband.
07:45So not only is it the perfect height
07:47and hits like right at your belly button,
07:49but as you can see, it actually kind of goes down
07:51in the front to give you more lower tummy control,
07:54which is something that a lot of leggings neglect to do.
07:56But it also curves up in the back
07:58to kind of give you that booty enhancing seam vibe.
08:01So you literally have the best of both worlds.
08:02It goes over your booty in the back
08:04and it goes down to give you lower tummy control
08:06in the front.
08:07These ones do have a front seam,
08:08so there was like a teeny bit of potential for camel toe,
08:10but it wasn't a huge issue.
08:12They didn't slide down in my workouts at all.
08:14They stay up really well.
08:15I think that's partially due to the fabric
08:16and partially due to the tapered waist.
08:18I just honestly love this fabric for working out so much,
08:21especially if you're someone who goes on runs a lot.
08:24This is the kind of fabric
08:24that's gonna like slide right past each other.
08:27Like if you have thighs, you understand what I mean.
08:29Like you wanna have a fabric that doesn't like,
08:31you know, resist your thighs moving together.
08:33So this fabric is just, I'm all about it.
08:36I know we all love the super buttery,
08:38like brushed soft leggings,
08:40but it can be a little annoying sometimes when they pill.
08:42So not gonna be a problem.
08:44These ones are also kind of like sock legging vibes.
08:47They're not like entirely sock leggings,
08:49but like they're kind of that halfway vibe.
08:51They do have this style and just like a full solid legging,
08:53but these ones have like a kind of mesh bottom
08:56with like the little breathable holes.
08:58So yeah, and it's a super unique animal print.
09:00Not seen something like this.
09:01So let's try it on.
09:02Okay, here are the classic high-waisted leggings
09:05with no booty scrunch.
09:06And these, I kind of just thought they were gonna be like
09:10a regular pair of leggings, nothing special,
09:12but there are just so many little details about them
09:13that make me love them so much.
09:15So first of all, the waistband does taper a little bit,
09:17but it doesn't cut into me.
09:18There's no seam on the top of the waistband
09:20and it hits right on my belly button.
09:22So what I was saying before is the waistband
09:24kind of tapers down.
09:26So you actually get lower tummy control,
09:28which you don't often get in a pair
09:30of high-waisted leggings like this.
09:31They do have a front seam and just a teeny bit
09:33of extra space around this area, but it's nothing extreme.
09:37And when you go to the back,
09:38you can see the booty seams also kind of taper up
09:41into a slight V and they don't cut over the line
09:44of your butt, so they are super flattering.
09:47I think I would give these a medium to high,
09:49maybe even just like a solid high.
09:51This fabric, while it has about a medium-ish compression,
09:55doesn't squish your butt down at all.
09:57Working out in these, they do not budge at all.
09:59Like I literally didn't have to pull them up once
10:01and they just feel like such a nice performance material.
10:05It just felt really good working out in them.
10:07The stock material, as you can see,
10:08is kind of like a perforated fabric.
10:10It doesn't have actual holes in them.
10:11Like the holes aren't like, you know,
10:13they don't go through to your skin.
10:15There's a little bit of mesh detail,
10:17but I think it's really cute and subtle
10:18and it's pretty breathable.
10:20Peach, no, I had to lock Peach out
10:21because she was getting into trouble.
10:23With a print, it's obviously going to hide cellulite
10:25and sweat really well, so that wouldn't be an issue.
10:28And all of their fabrics are very dense and squat-proof,
10:31so that is also not an issue.
10:33♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey ♪
10:39♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey ♪
10:46Next, we have something that I don't know
10:48if I'm brave enough to wear this,
10:50but we have lime green booty scrunch joggers.
10:55The joggers are definitely new for them
10:56and they are kind of a Lululemon Align style jogger,
10:59which means they're basically leggings
11:01and a little bit more baggy,
11:03especially around the knee, ankle area,
11:06so they kind of have a relaxed legging fit.
11:09By the way, I was sent these items,
11:10so I did not choose all of them myself,
11:12but my reviews are always honest.
11:15So I also have these in a size small
11:16and they have the same high waist as the last leggings.
11:20Seamless at the top, pretty compressive waistband.
11:22These ones do have little front pockets,
11:25again, very similar to a Lululemon Align style jogger.
11:28They do have a front seam
11:29and they do have a full scrunch butt in the back.
11:31And as you go to the bottom,
11:32they do have little ankle cuffs.
11:34These do come in more neutral colors
11:36if you're not into a lime green booty scrunch jogger,
11:40because I just don't see myself ever wearing this
11:42because it's a little intense for me,
11:44but I could see it being cute and a more neutral color.
11:47Okay, so here are the joggers.
11:49I think you kind of have to be on board
11:50with this kind of legging jogger look,
11:52which I'm on board for the comfort,
11:54but I don't think they're quite as cute
11:56as regular joggers that really look like joggers, you know?
11:59Anyways, this waistband is the same as the leggings,
12:02so it does come down and give you lower tummy control,
12:05which I have not seen on a pair
12:06of legging joggers like this.
12:08And it also comes up and over your booty.
12:11They do have little pockets
12:12and it just literally perfectly fits my phone.
12:14I think that's kind of funny.
12:15It's like, did you make this just for an iPhone?
12:17Because I'm kind of cute for that.
12:18It's the same fabric,
12:20it's just super soft, slick performance material.
12:23So they have this kind of extended gusset crotch
12:25that goes all the way down the leg.
12:27I think that is similar to the Lululemon Align joggers.
12:30They do go all the way down to my ankles,
12:32so they are basically full length.
12:34They're honestly super comfortable,
12:36and the waist just really feels like it's sucking me in.
12:39This is a decently compressive waistband area.
12:42This definitely seems and feels less scrunched
12:45than the seamless front leggings, the purple ones I had.
12:48So this might be a step down in scrunch.
12:52So if you're looking for a pair of legging joggers,
12:54I think I really love that these have
12:56their kind of signature waistband,
12:57which is just so genius.
12:59Like, I can't say I'm surprised
13:00that a woman-owned company
13:02has one of the most flattering
13:03legging waistbands I've ever seen.
13:05And even though these have a front seam
13:07with the booty scrunch,
13:08when I squat, it still does feel a little bit tight
13:11in the booty region,
13:12but it's not uncomfortable in the crotch.
13:14So they must just know how to make a booty scrunch.
13:17I mean, I shouldn't be surprised,
13:18but the booty scrunch here
13:20really is not irritating me at all.
13:22So.
13:32Next we have the Stacy Top.
13:33This is another one of their items
13:35that you don't have to customize.
13:36It's a super cute kind of like sports bra,
13:38kind of a crop top situation.
13:40I love this yellow color.
13:41I think that this could go with the animal print leggings
13:43if I want to be like super bold,
13:45or I have been wearing this
13:46with just like plain black leggings as well.
13:48It has like a little tie bow detail in the middle,
13:51and then kind of a little keyhole detail.
13:53They do have removable cup pads,
13:55and this is a more long line sports bra situation.
13:58You have a couple inches below like the bottom of the bust
14:01to kind of extend down onto your rib cage,
14:04cover up a little more.
14:05The back is pretty full coverage as well.
14:06It is a racerback style,
14:08and yeah, let's try it on.
14:09Okay, so here's the sports bra crop top thing.
14:12It has a little bit of cleavage,
14:14but when I worked out in it,
14:15I wasn't like spilling out of it.
14:16It also has pretty good side boob coverage.
14:18So that was also not like a major issue.
14:21It's the same material as the leggings,
14:22so it is pretty sweat wicking as well.
14:24I love this little tie detail.
14:26This kind of reminds me of like
14:27some kind of like swimsuit top,
14:29but I like how it's a little bit long line.
14:31I've kind of been going for the long line sports bras lately
14:34because I don't like to wear like full on tops.
14:36So this is kind of more like crop top-ish.
14:38I don't know if this is coming across on camera,
14:39but you can see the cup pads a little bit,
14:42probably just because of the light color.
14:44So I might just take out the cup pads.
14:46I don't know.
14:47It's about a light to medium support.
14:49It's not super supportive.
14:51I think if you sized down,
14:53maybe it would be a little more supportive.
14:55All of their stuff kind of runs like a little bit big to me.
14:57So I would always go with your size down.
14:59I am wearing a size small in this sports bra,
15:02which is my normal size.
15:03But I think if I sized down to the extra small,
15:06I would get like a little bit more compression
15:08and it would just kind of like hold me in a little more
15:10because I think the lack of the support
15:11is just coming from the fact
15:13that it's not like super tight on me, you know?
15:15Usually I do like to feel pretty tight in my sports bras
15:18just because that does offer some support
15:20and just like, you know, resist movement.
15:22The back is also fully covered up,
15:24so it's not like an open back or anything.
15:26But yeah, they have this top in a bunch of colors
15:27and I think it is a super cute,
15:29like kind of like crop top sports bra type thing.
15:31And lastly, we have the shape crop hoodie top.
15:41So this is one of those things
15:42that I like to call like sleeves.
15:44So it's not like a full crop top.
15:46It literally just covers like the top of yourself
15:50and some sleeves.
15:51I think I would prefer to wear this
15:52as like a full length crop top,
15:54like not like full length, you know,
15:55like more cropped as in like below the bra at least.
15:58But I have it in the black.
15:59It's the same material as the leggings.
16:01So it is that slick performance, breathable material.
16:04It comes in a bunch of colors
16:05and it just has the little logo in the back.
16:07And finally, here's the little, I don't know,
16:10hoodie crop jacket.
16:11I definitely feel like I would wear
16:13like a more covered bra than this.
16:15I can see this as like a little gym coverup.
16:17I'm not sure I'll ever wear it
16:18just because I've never really been into this whole
16:21like super, super cropped style.
16:23I would like if it was just like a regular crop length.
16:25Let me know in the comments below
16:27if you're into this trend or not.
16:29This is essentially a hood with sleeves.
16:32I also wish they had thumb holes just because I'm spoiled.
16:34And now every time I have a piece of active wear
16:36that's long sleeves, I just expect it to have thumb holes.
16:39It's something that just feels so secure
16:41about having little thumb holes.
16:42I'll put what size I have in this on the screen
16:44because it is more of an oversized, relaxed fit.
16:47The sleeves are not super tight on me
16:49and it is not super tight up here either.
16:51So I wonder if it's just oversized
16:53or if I have actually like a medium or something.
16:55So that is it for the review.
17:04I really, really love a lot of their leggings
17:06and they have some really, really cute styles on the site,
17:08especially some of their like textured leggings
17:10look so unique.
17:11I've seen a few people wear them and I'm like,
17:14I really want those.
17:15I think it's so awesome that they're made in the US,
17:17they're women run and they have like such cute styles
17:20that they're really like clearly thinking about the designs.
17:22They are so flattering on your waist.
17:24They have tummy control.
17:26Some of them don't have a front seam
17:27and you have so many different options for a booty scrunch
17:30if you kind of want to have that booty enhancement
17:33but you don't want it to have a full scrunch.
17:35I just really love what they're doing.
17:36You don't see a lot of like customizable leggings out there
17:39and when you're picky about your leggings,
17:41which you should be picky about your leggings
17:43if you're spending $70,
17:44then they definitely have a ton of options.
17:47Some of their pieces are a little out there
17:48for me personally, but I've seen people wear them
17:50and honestly, they're killing it.
17:52So if you liked this video,
