Organic Sports Bras, Yoga Pants & Sweats by Mate the Label
When I decided to go all-in on natural and ethical clothing, I didn’t consider my workout gear. I’ve been a jogger for 35 years and spandex and lycra were golden. I had to change though. I knew sweating for so many hours a week in plastic couldn’t be helping me achieve the level of health I’d been working towards for so many years. I started researching and pretty quickly found Mate the Label. With 92% organic cotton and 8% spandex, I feel like I’ve won the lottery. I ordered a sports bra, t-shirt, yoga/jogging pants and a pair of sweats and didn’t want to take them off. The sports bra has some serious support whilst not digging into my shoulders. The pants are soft and move with me. The sweats are perfect for lounging or grocery shopping. It feels incredible to know as I’m working out, I can wear clothing that’s nearly all organic.
Mate the Label is produced in factories in Los Angeles, CA. So, not only are they striving for natural, but they’re making local happen too. Their prices reflect these attributes but take note, I’ve been working out in these clothes for over a year and they are holding up incredibly well. Six months ago, my partner bought a sweatshirt at Target for part of a Halloween costume. She’s worn it a bit since and the material is balling up and wearing out. If you can spend your money on less items with an emphasis on quality, the benefits up being so much more.
