W.I.T.H. - Wear It To Heart, founded by Sunnie Ha in 2011, is a Los Angeles based and sweatshop free women activewear brand. The brand was born in California and is growing up in El Salvador (in support of the Project Garrobo). They work with designers and artists from Los Angeles as well as El Salvador. The design inspiration is taken from modern women who favor impeccable personal style over uniformity, who aren’t afraid to step out of the classic black activewear; rather, they enjoy fun and dynamic prints. The fashion forward pieces from W.I.T.H. allow you to wear them out and about. Activewear is NOT only made for the studio and the gym. In addition to their stylish prints, W.I.T.H. uses a super soft and four-way power stretch fabric (called Salutex) to deliver the performance you need for exercises.

1. Size – I wear an XS and it fits perfectly. I wear Lululemon size 4 for your reference.
The Rhombus Legging I bought in Korea is a size small. After wearing it couple times to yoga, I feel the waist is too loose and I constantly need to pull the waistband up. For that reason, the rest of my W.I.T.H. leggings bought in the U.S. are XS. By the way, the Rhombus Legging is currently on sale at W.I.T.H.. 2. Style – Ankle length legging. 3. Inseam – 25" long. long. It sits around my ankle. I am glad that it's not as long as other full length leggings, but some of you may feel that's too short, especially if you are a tall girl (I'm 5'2"). 4. Front Rise – 8.25" standard rise. It's not my preferred style as I like more support and coverage of the high rise offers. 5. Waistband – 3.25" waistband. It's pretty standard width, though most of my recent purchases are wide waistbands. |

6. Fabric – 88% Polyester and 12% Spandex. The fabric is very stretchy and provides excellent range of movement. In terms of breathability, I think there is room for improvement. Also, the fabric is on the thicker side comparable to the fabrics used by Liquido and Niyama Sol, and to Lululemon Full-On Luxtreme fabric.
7. Design for – It can be worn for heated & non-heated yoga as well as gym workouts. Personally, I would prefer to wear it for non-heated yoga or low impact / low sweat activities because it does not offer the best breathability. 8. Cost – Retail price $82. I bought it full price. Yes, I paid $82 + tax. It's very rare for me to buy a full priced legging. W.I.T.H, is one of the few activewear brands that does not offer Fitness Pro Discount. Visit Closet 101 to see the brands that offer Instructor Discount. 9. Stitch Seam – Comfortable flat locking seams. |
10. Crotch Seam – Lined gusset.

There is a hidden inner stash pocket for card, key or cash. I don't use the pocket, but it may be convenient for others.
The W.I.T.H. logo is printed both inside and outside of the waistband.

I own 4 pairs of leggings from W.I.T.H,. I do like the styles (except for the standard waistband) and designs (prints) of them. They even have a great collection of reversible items, including leggings, tanks and jacket, which makes activewear more versatile and fun to wear. I appreciate W.I.T.H, being a sweatshop free athleisure, supporting the Project Garrobo and helping communities in El Salvador.
Back to the Camo Chameleon Legging, it's durable and high quality. I've had it for a year now, and there is no sign of wear or tear. In terms of the performance, it is very stretch, but shy of the breathability. At least, that's how I feel when wearing it to the heated yoga class. I believe the high waisted leggings comes out around the end of 2016, after I bought these 4 leggings. Otherwise, I would have ordered high waisted ones. Besides the waistband lacking the coverage, the legging does not lift or shape my butt well compared to some of my favorite brands like Lululemon, Varley and Niyama Sol.
So, will I consider buying more leggings from W.I.T.H,? When I see a print I like in the high waisted style, I may give it another shot, but only if it's on sale.
