I've always loved 90 Degree by Reflex because their workout clothes are always affordable without sacrificing quality. These foil leggings they just released do not disappoint! They held up great with my sweaty AF leg day and they're a perfect 7/8 length, which is my favorite with workout leggings. I love that it's essentially a neutral color so you can really wear any color with it. I just paired it with my trusty Senita crop top {also another great and affordable brand}! Senita is currently having a Black Friday sale until tomorrow {Monday} so check them out!! I highly, highly recommend them.
