Is Fabletics Legit: Great Deals or Too Good to Be True?

 Our honest take on the athleisure brand's hype-worthy shorts and disappointing windbreaker. Discover if Fabletics is worth your hard-earned cash.

The lure of a deal

Fabletics first caught my eye with an irresistible offer: $10 shorts. As a growing individual in constant need of new gym attire, I couldn't resist. Navigating the website was a bit of a chore, especially on mobile, but the promise of cheap shorts kept me going. The shorts themselves arrived about a week after purchase and were delayed about 1 day. The shorts met expectations: breathable, comfortable, and true to size (though tall guys might want to opt for the 7-inch longer inseam).


Their Shorts

The shorts themselves were a pleasant surprise. They fit well, felt comfortable, and were perfect for workouts. The fabric was breathable, and the overall quality was decent for the price point. However, as a taller individual, the 7-inch inseam left something to be desired.

The windbreaker :/

The windbreaker, on the other hand, was nothing to write home about. The quality felt average, and the design was basic at best. To make matters worse, the price has skyrocketed since I purchased it, and I would say not worth it at the current price point. It seems that a lot of Fabletics' value proposition lies in sales and promotions.








The Verdict

While the shorts were a hit, the windbreaker was a miss. If you're considering Fabletics, be prepared to wait for a sale. The brand seems to offer better value when you can snag items at a discounted price. And if you’re tall (6'4 and above), you might definitely want to go for the 7-inch shorts.
