Everlane launched the Perform Legging ($58), its first-ever activewear piece, in January of 2020.

Perform Leggings are available in sizes XXS to XXL and with two inseam lengths (regular or ankle). You can pick them up in five colors: black, lichen green, ink grey, and brandy rose.

In keeping with Everlane's long-term sustainability goals, they're also made from 58% recycled material.

We found them to be silky, lightweight, and breathable for light exercise and daily wear, but they are definitely not the compressive, thick pair you'd want for intense activity. If you're in between sizes, we recommend sizing up for greater opacity.

Everlane, the startup that's home to a dozen Holy Grail basics, has officially created its first-ever performance piece.

The Everlane Perform Legging ($58) is an extra-high-waisted legging made from silky, breathable technical fabric with medium coverage.

To keep the leggings as streamlined as possible, the design is minimalist with spare seams and one internal pocket for keys and cards. So far, it's available in five rich, versatile colors: black, lichen green, ink grey, and brandy rose — and in sizes XXS-XXL. It also comes in two inseam lengths (regular or ankle) and is recommended for low to moderate activity (our reviews, which you can read below, definitely back up this claim).

In keeping with the brand's greater sustainability goals, the Perform Legging is also made of 58% recycled nylon (the other 42% is listed as elastane). However, it's worth noting that there are exercise leggings in a similar price range that utilize a higher percentage of recycled materials.

I asked a few of my coworkers to test out the leggings. Below, you can find our full breakdown, but the gist is this: they're a silky, breathable option that feels like a second skin and comes in beautiful colors. Half of us are counting them among our favorites and considering buying another pair. But, they're not thick enough for squats — and they're not really compressive. Sizing can also be tricky — if you're in between, we agree with Everlane and say size up for increased opacity.
