In case you’ve spent any time on the Web over the previous few months, you’ve probably heard of Halara, the fashionable new activewear model that each one the cool ladies are carrying. Everybody swears their items are Lululemon high quality with out the Lululemon price ticket, so I clearly needed to strive them out. I used to be nervous about shopping for with out attempting on because it’s an online-only firm and I’m choosy concerning the match of my exercise garments, however the web site had glowing product critiques and the TikTok girlies assured me the garments lived as much as the hype. With that in thoughts, I positioned my order and eagerly awaited the arrival of my package deal (for about two lengthy weeks). So with out additional ado, listed here are the best-selling gadgets I attempted from TikTok’s favourite cheap athleisurewear model and my sincere ideas.
1. On a regular basis Costume
This is likely one of the items I see all the cool ladies carrying, and now I perceive why. It combines all of the issues I really like about a few of their different items: It has an analogous match to the cropped tank, the comfy cloth of the high-waisted shorts, and the shape and performance of the biker shorts. I don’t know that this is able to be a go-to gymnasium match, but it surely’s an amazing possibility for a sizzling woman stroll, informal brunch, or fast sport of tennis (or an try to play tennis, for those who’re like me). It’s additionally a simple piece to decorate up or down. I really like which you can simply throw on a jacket or tie a flannel round your waist and swap your tennis sneakers for sandals to fully change the look.
2. Excessive-Waisted Pocket Shorts
As somebody who carries her weight in her legs and booty (I’m coming on your model, Kim Ok), I’ve struggled with the way in which shorts match me for so long as I can bear in mind. With that in thoughts, I didn’t have excessive hopes for these, however that they had loads of five-star critiques from ladies saying the shorts have been comfy and cinched their waists. In addition they seemed nice on the mannequin, so I used to be to see in the event that they’d work for me too.
Whereas they have been tremendous comfy and doubtless might have been worn as lounge shorts, they didn’t fairly dwell as much as my expectations. I favor my shorts a bit longer so I really feel lined whereas figuring out and to assist keep away from the dreaded internal thigh chaffing. The material is so skinny and delicate which feels superb, however they do experience up and bunch simply. Additionally, the leg openings aren’t almost as roomy as they appear on the mannequin. 5/10, would put on once more, however not my #1 decide for robust exercises.
3. Ruffle Hem Shorts
Let’s simply say my relationship with these shorts is sophisticated. I really favored the way in which these shorts match higher than the Excessive-Waisted Pocket Shorts as a result of that they had a looser match within the legs. However, dare I say… too unfastened? The baggier match of those mixed with the ruffle hem (which was initially the principle promoting level for me) made them really feel extra like sleepwear than exercise put on. Halara does refer to those as “informal” shorts, which is sensible contemplating their match, however since they weren’t included of their loungewear part, I hoped they might nonetheless be worn outdoors the home. This pair might undoubtedly work for some folks, however I’d avoid them if you wish to really feel extra lined up and put collectively whereas leaping round in your exercises. For lounge shorts, nevertheless, they’re perfection.
4. Padded Tank High
I’ve by no means been one for the crop prime life—even throughout my peak celebration woman days. However I’ve been loving the look of long-line sports activities bras currently, so I believed I’d lastly give the development a strive. Lo and behold, I’ve discovered my new favourite exercise prime. It’s somewhat tight (I adopted the scale chart), however that simply means it really works nicely for extra high-impact exercises and is supportive, regardless of not having adjustable straps. I discover that the tighter match additionally helps the highest keep in place so that you don’t have to fret concerning the hem rolling up whilst you’re shifting round.
And the standard? High-notch. I used to be absolutely anticipating the detachable pads to shift and fold like a few of my cheaper exercise tops, however they’ve stayed in place even after a couple of cycles within the wash. I used to be additionally impressed that the white cloth wasn’t see-through in any respect. Now I’m pondering I would like one in each shade.
5. Excessive-Waisted Biker Shorts
Name me Princess Diana as a result of these shorts have develop into a part of my on a regular basis wardrobe. They’re as delicate because the Excessive-Waisted Pocket Shorts however are somewhat thicker, in order that they really feel extra substantial and may cross the squat check. What they don’t cross, sadly, is the roll check. I discover that I’ve to drag them down continuously, however that could possibly be as a result of they’re somewhat tight and can be resolved if I sized up. For me, they’re robust to put on as exercise gear for intense exercises like working or HIIT, however I’ve been loving them for walks, stretching, and on-the-go outfits.
6. Aspect Pocket Biker Shorts
There’s one thing about these biker shorts that didn’t do it for me the way in which the standard Biker Shorts did (however don’t get me improper, I nonetheless favored them sufficient that I’ll be pairing all my outsized tees and sweatshirts with them). Despite the fact that I ordered each pairs in the identical dimension, this pair matches a lot tighter, they usually roll up greater than the common Biker Shorts. I additionally could or could not have ripped a seam or two pulling them over my legs and butt. What I do love about them, although, is Halara’s signature pet hair-resistant cloth. I wasn’t positive that it will make a lot of a distinction, however as a cat mother, I’ll take all the assistance I can get. Since I’ll largely be carrying these at residence and for working errands, it’s good that I don’t have to achieve for a lint curler between cuddling my fur infants and getting groceries.

The decision
I’ve to provide it to the TikTok ladies on this one. Halara’s high quality, kinds, and inexpensive value level make it an amazing different to Lululemon and Alo. My hope is that because the model continues to develop, they present extra range in physique sizes and styles of their fashions so mid-size and plus-size ladies get a way of how the items will match. After some trial and error although, I used to be capable of finding some items that I really feel good in and sit up for carrying throughout my subsequent gymnasium session or Goal run.
