00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 Hey guys, and welcome back to my channel.
00:10 So for this video, I ordered all of the Flawless Knit colors
00:14 well, all of the new Flawless Knit colors.
00:16 So recently Gymshark has been doing a lot of new launches
00:20 that aren't necessarily like new designs,
00:22 but they have a lot of new colors.
00:24 So they recently launched this yellow Flawless Knit,
00:27 the Ruby and the Khaki,
00:30 which is more of an olive green to me,
00:31 but apparently it's called Khaki.
00:33 I always thought Khaki was that tan color.
00:35 Like am I the only one?
00:36 Anyways, I did a review
00:38 of the original Flawless Knit colors a while back.
00:41 I only had the blue one at that point,
00:43 but this time I thought I would order all of them
00:45 so I could like really tell you guys
00:46 like if they all feel the same,
00:48 if they're all squat proof, spoiler alert, they're not.
00:51 And if like any colors are more stiff than the others.
00:55 Also, this is the first video in a while
00:57 that I don't have tape on my forehead.
00:59 A lot of people were confused about the tape
01:01 even though I did mention it in a video,
01:04 but I had like surgery on my forehead
01:06 and I had like this tape to preserve the scar for a while,
01:08 but now I'm back and my face is untaped.
01:12 So yeah, also this video is unsponsored.
01:14 I am not a Gymshark athlete,
01:16 bought these with my own money.
01:18 And unlike most of the reviews which are sponsored,
01:21 I'm actually going to be completely,
01:22 totally honest with you guys on my opinions on this.
01:26 So yeah, I only got the leggings,
01:27 but they also have, I believe, sports bras,
01:30 long sleeve crop tops, zip up jackets, and tank tops.
01:33 So there's like a whole range,
01:35 but I felt like the leggings are like
01:37 the most controversial thing to get
01:39 because like there's like issues
01:40 like squat proof and camel toe.
01:42 So the leggings are $55 and they come in other colors,
01:45 but again, the new colors are the yellow,
01:47 the khaki and the beet.
01:48 And the material is the exact same as the last colors.
01:51 It's 95% nylon and 5% elastane.
01:54 And to the touch, they feel like the Energy Seamless,
01:57 but they are a lot thinner and a lot more stretchy.
02:00 So if you thought the Energy Seamless
02:01 were very thick and like compressive,
02:04 these are very thin, don't really offer any compression,
02:07 and are very, very stretchy.
02:09 So you're a lot more free to move
02:11 than in the Energy Seamless.
02:12 I personally like these better than the Energy Seamless.
02:15 And the waistband is a little more flattering too,
02:17 in my opinion.
02:18 So these do run true to size.
02:20 I wear a size small and my measurements are down below,
02:23 and they are full length on me,
02:24 and I'm 5'9".
02:25 They have size extra small to large.
02:28 For the waistband, it hits me right above my belly button,
02:31 and it offers a lot less compression
02:33 than the Energy Seamless waistband.
02:35 It's also a lot shorter,
02:36 but it doesn't stretch out at all.
02:38 I have an issue with like,
02:39 I use like the Ombre Seamless and the Vital Seamless,
02:41 stretching out over time in the waist.
02:44 And I have not had an issue with these,
02:45 and I've been wearing my blue Flawless Knits
02:48 for about like two to three months now,
02:51 and they've totally held up.
02:53 And I think overall, the waistband is very flattering.
02:56 It hits at a very flattering area,
02:58 and it's not like too high,
03:00 and it hits like above the love handle region,
03:03 so it's not gonna like squeeze you in,
03:04 in like awkward places, if you know what I mean.
03:06 And if you wanna see like a full in-depth view
03:09 of all the details,
03:10 I have that in my last Flawless Fit video
03:13 that I will link down below.
03:15 But again, there's just a lot of very delicate eyelets
03:17 in this design, all over the leggings.
03:20 So you need to be very careful
03:21 with getting these leggings on,
03:22 especially if you have nails,
03:24 because they can kind of like stick into the holes
03:26 and rip them.
03:28 Also be careful if you use a lot of resistance bands.
03:31 I don't wear the Flawless Knit on leg days,
03:34 because I like to use a big, thick hip circle
03:36 resistance band.
03:37 And when you use that on these kind of eyelets,
03:41 it can kind of like fuzz them up a little bit,
03:42 and like, I don't know, make them run,
03:44 and it just like doesn't hold up very well.
03:46 So I wouldn't recommend using these on days
03:49 where you're going to be using resistance bands.
03:51 And also just be very careful in general
03:52 with handling these and like the wash,
03:54 because they are super, super delicate.
03:56 Now I'm going to be going over each of the colors
03:59 and like their squat proofness
04:00 and how they feel and compare to the other colors.
04:02 So first of all, the yellow,
04:04 which I feel like is like the most desirable color
04:06 from this collection,
04:08 just 'cause it's like so bright and fun.
04:09 I feel like a lot of the athletes really hyped this one up.
04:12 But before you go behind this,
04:14 these are the most see-through leggings
04:17 I've ever worn in my entire life.
04:19 Like I have ordered $5 leggings from AliExpress
04:23 that have more coverage than these.
04:25 Like you can see, I'm going to insert clips,
04:28 you can see the shadow of like my like booty crack
04:31 while I'm standing up straight, like not even squatting.
04:35 So it's not even that these aren't squat proof,
04:37 but these aren't even like stand proof.
04:39 And like, even if you don't do these on a leg day,
04:42 which I already wouldn't,
04:43 if you're doing like upper body days,
04:45 you still have to lean over and pick up weights.
04:47 And these are so sheer
04:48 that you would be literally flashing everyone.
04:50 Even if you're doing like a HIIT circuit or something,
04:52 I see Whitney Simmons doing in these,
04:54 you're kind of like squatting over,
04:57 like going up and down.
04:58 Like these are not safe for any kind of exercise that you do
05:03 or even everyday life, 'cause you have to lean over.
05:05 Like these are so sheer.
05:07 I give these like a zero out of 10 squat proof.
05:09 And Robin Gallant, who's a Gymshark athlete
05:11 in one of her reviews, said they were 70% squat proof.
05:14 And that's just like the most BS thing I've ever heard.
05:16 Like 70% squat proof leggings
05:18 would be totally like appropriate
05:20 for me to still wear to the gym.
05:21 Like if leggings aren't completely squat proof,
05:23 I'm usually fine.
05:24 But like, I would not wear these.
05:26 Like these, these are definitely 100%.
05:29 Going back to Gymshark, like seriously Gymshark,
05:31 you need to step up your game.
05:32 You can't make leggings this sheer.
05:35 Okay, so now that I've fully ranted about how upset I am
05:38 about how sheer these are,
05:39 let's go on to some of the other points.
05:41 So for camel toe, because this kind of material is so thin
05:46 and also this color is so light,
05:47 you are at risk for some camel toe,
05:49 especially single camel.
05:51 But I have like almost a little bit of double camel
05:53 even without the seam.
05:55 But I feel like that's somewhat due
05:56 to like your anatomy as well.
05:58 But like, if you normally have an issue
06:00 with camel toe and leggings,
06:01 you probably will have it with these too.
06:03 And the cellulite actually wasn't as bad as I thought
06:05 because they have like this little under booty contour.
06:09 You can't really see it,
06:10 but it's just like a very light contouring.
06:12 It kind of adds like,
06:13 it kind of like hides a little bit of the cellulite.
06:16 So I really didn't think it was awful,
06:18 especially given how thin and like light colored these are.
06:21 I think for cellulite, they're actually like decently okay.
06:24 And these fit really well,
06:25 like size small was perfect.
06:27 And they were just as stretchy as all the other colors.
06:30 One more thing I want to note
06:31 is that the crotch seams are a little stiff.
06:35 And I have this issue with a lot of Gymshark leggings,
06:38 but the rest of the leggings are super stretchy,
06:40 but the crotch seams don't really have a lot of give
06:42 to them as you can see.
06:44 So it's kind of difficult to like lift your leg up
06:46 and squat a little bit.
06:48 I like kind of heard some like seam noises
06:50 while I was squatting.
06:52 That was a little concerning,
06:53 but yeah, definitely wish that,
06:56 oh my gosh, I already have like a seam coming out.
06:59 Are you serious?
07:00 Guys, I literally just wore these to try on and that's it.
07:03 Do you see that seam?
07:04 Hey Gymshark, quality has really gone downhill.
07:08 That's really disappointing.
07:11 Okay, well I guess I was right about hearing
07:13 some seam noises.
07:14 Like I should be able to squat.
07:16 That's the whole point of gym leggings.
07:19 Okay, now the other colors definitely did a lot better.
07:22 Squat proofness, I give the khaki nine out of 10
07:25 squat proof.
07:25 You still have a little camel toe,
07:27 kind of like the yellow ones.
07:29 Similar issue with cellulite or similar like situation
07:32 with cellulite as the yellow ones.
07:34 I didn't really see much.
07:35 And these were also super stretchy,
07:37 just like the yellow ones and fit perfectly.
07:39 And the beet ones, so the color is beet
07:42 but they're almost like, they're almost black.
07:45 Like they're super dark.
07:46 So these were definitely squat proof.
07:48 I'd also give them a nine out of 10
07:50 just because like with my big ring light,
07:52 you could see like the tiniest bit of like,
07:54 I don't know, kind of sheared out a little bit
07:56 but you couldn't see any underwear
07:57 or any cheeks or anything.
07:59 So we were all covered.
08:00 So if you want some squat proof flawlessness,
08:03 these are good.
08:04 And I didn't really have an issue
08:05 with camel toe or cellulite because they're just so dark.
08:08 You really can't even see anything.
08:09 So it's not even an issue.
08:10 These also fit like there was no extra material anywhere.
08:14 I found with darker colors that I think like something
08:16 in the dye makes them a little more stiff
08:19 because these definitely were a little tighter to get on.
08:21 They felt almost like the energy seamless,
08:24 like that kind of tight, like compressive feeling.
08:27 So these definitely aren't as stretchy as these two colors.
08:31 So just keep that in mind if you get these,
08:33 they are a little more stiff and compressive
08:36 than the other colors.
08:37 Overall, I think that Gymshark has done
08:39 a pretty decent job with the design of these leggings.
08:41 I do actually like these leggings a lot.
08:44 The color I have is also squat proof.
08:46 So that one's fine with me.
08:48 I just think that like if you want to make a color like this
08:51 you really need to put in extra effort
08:53 and like make the fabric thicker,
08:55 make it more tightly knit or something
08:56 because these just really were unacceptable
08:58 for any kind of gym activity.
09:00 I would not recommend this yellow color to anyone.
09:04 But the other colors, I think you could totally go for them.
09:07 They are both like pretty squat proof,
09:08 like nine out of 10 squat proof.
09:10 Nothing you should be afraid of wearing to the gym.
09:13 But again, these ones were like a little bit more stiff.
09:17 But overall, they're like pretty good, except for you.
09:20 You are going back to Gymshark.
09:22 All right, so thank you guys so much for watching.
09:24 I hope you enjoyed this.
