Perhaps you’re also familiar with this social media savvy clothing company. It’s easy to come across a young influencer praising Halara activewear and likening it to renowned and expensive name brands. For this review, I purchased a pair of pants, a pair of joggers, and a tank top.

As with all of my reviews, this Halara review is unsponsored by the company. All of the items were purchased with my own money so that I can provide an unbiased and honest opinion to you.

In this review, I’ll also share a little bit about Halara, how to shop on the site, what product reviews are like, shipping info, return policy, and more. 

 

What is Halara?

Halara is an athleisure clothing company offering a huge selection of women’s pieces. Comfort and style are on the forefront of their most popular items. The Halara site claims that the brands strives to incorporate customer feedback into the creation of products. From fabric to colors, to design details. 

For example, the image below (credit to Halara.com) showcases 10 fabrics designed in response to customer needs and requests. This made me intrigued to try out certain fabrics.

Like many fast fashion brands, Halara offers a HUGE selection of clothing but the price points are above my comfort level, especially for being such a new (to me) brand.

My focus of this review was to see if the quality aligns to the prices and if it is accurate to compare (as social media influencers do) Halara to other well known and established name brands.

What does Halara sell?

Halara sells primarily athleisure attire. Here are the main clothing categories:

• Pants & Joggers
• Skirts & Skorts
• Dresses
• Shorts & Bikers
• Leggings
• Tops
• Jumpsuits
• Denim

Sizing is available for both regular and plus for select items.

It is safe to say they focus on comfort. I don’t know if any of their bottoms contains a functioning button. All of the denim and pants seem to have stretchy elastic waist bands.

The straight leg pants I ordered feel like golf pant material, though online the image appears as be regular cotton pants.

Is Halara affordable?

This one is up for debate, depending on your budget and clothing standards. It isn’t dirt cheap like other brands you see plastered on social media ads but you can definitely snag a good deal with promo codes, sales, etc.

For two pairs of pants and I tank top I paid about $88 with tax and a promo code. After receiving the physical products, I would say they are slightly overpriced for my liking. Fabric is thinner than anticipated and I am curious to see how it will hold up over time and if these items are ones I will reach for regularly.

Another thing to point out is that I have seen some items for sale on Amazon that are very, very similar to those for sale on Halara. Amazon usually has a better prices, though I have not done a physical comparison of these items, just wanted to point it out.

Is Halara Fast Fashion?

Initially, I got fast fashion vibes when scrolling through the seemingly endless number of items. However, Halara isn’t a true fast fashion company.

While the average fast fashion brand releases new items on a weekly or even daily basis, Halara takes a different approach. Although they offer trendy items that may not be available for the long haul, some of their bestsellers have remained popular for years.

I also read on their site that they do no produce excessive inventory, rather they produce as they receive demand which is not something your average fast fashion brand will do.

Halara Review: My Experience with the online site

Overall, I was pleased with the online site. It was easy to navigate and find what I was looking for.

If you recall from my TEMU review, searching on some of the viral sites can be frustrating. But I didn’t experience this with Halara. Even though there are so many products to scroll through, there are not a lot of annoying popups or ticking countdowns.

Searching for Products on Halara

Searching for specific items is very easy.

The search bar was located on the top and always in view.

Relevant items were returned with each search I did. As you’ll recall from my past reviews, other sites don’t always produce relevant search results.

These are the results I received when searching “white tank top”:

Well done, Halara.

 

What Are the Halara Reviews like?

The product reviews on Halara are pretty good and helped me make my purchasing decisions.

For each product, there’s a small summary of the customers review. THis summary provide the average star rating as well as the customer sizing report. See below.

 

Beyond that summary, you can browse the various customer reviews with their specific star rating and brief explanation.

A majority of the reviews I read were brief, with 5 words or less. Periodically you will come across a review with greater detail. Don’t expect to read discertations like you would on other shopping platforms. 

When shopping online for clothing, I personally prefer to read detailed customer reviews, especially those with provided customer height and weight to get an idea if the product will be a good fit for me. Unfortunately, those type of reviews are rare on Halara products. Therefore, I relied heavily on the little review summary box for my purchases.

What I bought From Halara & Initial Impressions

For this review I purchased three items. Halara pants were recurring themes in Halara ads I saw, therefore I was intentional about buying pants. I also opted for a tank top just to see if their athletic material lives up to the hype.

Here’s what I got:

1. High Waisted Button Multiple Pockets Straight Leg Casual Pants
2. Softlyzero™ Airy High Waisted Drawstring Side Pocket Plain Cool Touch Full Length Joggers 
3. Cut Out Crossover Hem Solid Yoga Tank Top

Overall, my first impression of the Halara items I ordered were good. Upon opening, I really liked the feel of the fabric and the overall appearance of the items. Below is my detailed review of each item.

For reference, I am just shy of 5’6″ and about 130 pounds. Typically a size S/M in tops and 4/27/M in pants.

Halara Review: Straight Leg Pants: 

These pants are nice out of the package, though I am not in love. From the product images online, I was expecting a different type of fabric. These literally are athletic fabric and feel very smooth, almost slick. 

With being a gray color (storm), they show everything. I feel like I need shapewear underneath, though I’m not confident that would even help.

Looking back at the product information online today, I see now the product description, material composition, etc. When I originally purchased these pants I missed this info. It is sort of hidden beneath the “you may also like” section and you have to expand the details using the “+”, which is not ideal. So keep in mind when shopping.

SIZING: I grabbed these in Medium with regular length. I normally size up one in shorts and bottoms to a medium and did the same with these pants, even though the size small online indicates it is equivalent to a 4/6 (my true pant size). I am glad I went one size up because the waist is snug. The length is about an inch short for my liking, I’ll only be able to wear flat shoes with these.

I paid about $35 for these pants, which is overpriced for my liking. If they fit better, the price would have been worth it, however I don’t see myself reaching for these regularly in the future.

UPDATE: After trying on and taking these pictures, I am returning these pants. They are not cute on me, the waist band is tight and the button placement is not flattering. These would be best for someone with an athletic or rectangular body shape.

 

These pants have multiple pockets, however they appear to be more for style that functionality, in my opinion. 

Buttons are exposed and not functional. The waistband is fully elastic with no opening/closure. 

With all of that in mind, these are a nice lightweight pant. While they do run a bit small, the fabric is breathable and would be great to wear in warm weather! Color is as depicted in the online images. I give these Halara pants a rating of 3/5 stars.

 

Halara Review: Joggers

These are my favorite item of the purchase. They are made of the Halara trademarked “Softlyzero” airy fabric. It is essentially smooth legging like fabric made in the form of joggers. 

My initial impression upon opening was that they were super soft and had the features I was hoping for: high waist drawstring jogger with pockets. The only downside is that they had a horrible smell upon opening, I hoping it goes away as the washed. None of the other products I ordered had this problem

Trying them on, I am very happy with the fit, length, and feel. They offer light compression in the waist and are not tight on the leg, but fitted and sit nicely. I love the ultra high waist!

The drawstring and pockets are fully functioning. The pockets do bunch up a little bit, however since I ordered black it isn’t noticeable nor does it bother me much. 

SIZING: I ordered a Medium regular in the Halara joggers and like how they fit. The waist is comfortable and not as snug as the straight leg pants. The length is perfect for me, they hit just at my ankle.

This particular Halara fabric is described online as having cloud-like softness, smooth feel, four way stretch, sweat-wicking, and breathable. I agree with all of these characteristics and am looking forward to wearing these in the Summer. I give these Halara joggers a rating of 4/5 stars.

Below is a close up of the front and back of the Halara joggers. 

 

 

Halara Tank Review

This is a good tank top for working out! The fabric is soft, stretchy, and breathable. Sizing runs true to size.

This is listed under the “best sellers” category. I ordered this Halara tank top in white. My initial impression that product appeared to how the images were online. Fabric was soft and stretchy. No smell to the tank top upon opening which was a plus!

 

Trying on the tank top, I loved the fit and flow. I could move my arms freely without it becoming a crop top. The white color is not sheer. The back is an open flap style and is very cute.

SIZING: I normally order a medium in workout tops and did so with this one. It runs true to size. The crew neck was not tight and the arm holes are not saggy. The fit is very flattering and would suit many different body types.

I would recommend this to a friend! I give this Halara tank top 5/5 stars. 

 

 

Shipping time for my Halara Order

Shipping time was painful for me, over one month from order confirmation to delivery. My Halara order was placed on the 25th and I received it THE FOLLOWING month, on the 30th.

Like I said, painful.

Looking back, there was an item on a delayed preorder so I guess that was part of the issue.  I don’t recall seeing that explicity stated prior to adding that item to my cart. If I had been aware of the delay, I certainly would have ordered something else instead! The entire order shipped together, rather than one piece at a time/ as available.

My order did receive free shipping because I spent more than $49. That was a plus!

This is how I received my Halara order:

 

Halara Review: My Final Verdict

Would I purchase from Halara again? Probably not.

The fit of the pants were a big miss for me, especially for the price! I expected a better fit from all of the ads I saw and rave pictures of influencers online. They just didn’t work for me.

Shipping is another major downfall from this order. Over a month. My advise? Beware of pre-order items before you purchase!

I will say that if you are super athletic or into athletic clothing, this might be a great clothing brand for you! In addition to the two downfalls I noted previously, I also do not have much of a need for athletic wear. I’m more of a jeans (with functioning zipper) and a cotton t-shirt kinda gal!

 

What I would buy next for a Halara review

The one item I am curious about is leggings! I feel like there are so many types and fabrics available on Halara it could take a while to find the *perfect* legging. Here’s a full list of what I would try next.

1. Classic black leggings
2. Leopard Biker Shorts
3. Corduroy Skirt with built in shorts!

This active dress might be a good option for those looking for one! This is one of their more popular items and is in the same fabric as the joggers I have! I like that this one has shorts under, rather than a one piece romper style. Very practical and easy to wear!

Halara Clothing Company: Is Halara Legit?

Yes, Halara is a legit clothing company. 

Based on the products I purchased for this Halara review I can confirm the products I received were the ones advertised online.

Compared to other social media viral clothing sites I’ve shopped in the past, I felt comfortable and confident during my entire shopping experience. Sometimes, these websites can come across as a scam but I did not have this impression during my time shopping Halara.

 

Is Halara a good Brand?

This is a highly subjective question. It will depend for every person. Learn more about Halara and sustainability efforts. It also doesn’t hurt to look at resources outside of the company site!

Is Halara similar to Lululemon?

Both sell activewear.

Seriously, that’s about it for me. Sure, some of their items are very similar in appearance but the companies are different. Lululemon has a much smaller selection of classic items. Halara has more variety of clothing products in my opinion, from trendy to classic items.

In terms of quality, I have not owned my Halara items long enough to speak to durability. 

Do they have an app?

Yes, there is an app for Halara.
