Calia is sold exclusively at Dick’s Sporting Goods stores, or can be purchased online with free shipping and returns. While it was long associated with country singer Carrie Underwood (and known as “Calia by Carrie Underwood”), Calia now counts Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East, actress Dascha Polanco, golf journalist Alexandra O’Laughlin, and wel...
The fabrics are breathable
Even during a heat wave, Calia products kept me cool and (relatively) dry. The Scoop Neck Racer Tank Top was among my favorites, as it looks like a much more stylish version of a cross-country racing singlet. Thanks to the airy jacquard fabric, I felt like I was wearing nothing even while running on a 90 degree day. The Performance Tee was similarly airy.
The Long Line Energize Bra is a workout staple
The Long Line Energize Bra was by far my favorite of the pieces I received. Though it has more of a silky smooth feel than the Scoop Neck Racer Tank, it stayed in place for several spin classes and HIIT workouts without feeling tight or adding extra warmth. The “medium support” it provides was just enough for my workouts, and I also wore it as a crop top for casual Sunday errands. Unlike the Made to Move Crossback Bra—which also provides medium support—the Long Line Energize Bra features remo...
There are plenty of colors and patterns
While Calia doesn’t offer as many options as, say, Fabletics, it still boasts plenty of pretty prints and staple solids alike. The Energize 7/8 Leggings, for instance, currently come in black, maroon, navy, and four trendy tie-dye prints. Additionally, with the brand frequently dropping new collections and refreshing its selection, you can always keep an eye on the website for more.
The sizing wasn’t uniform across the brand
I typically wear a size 4 in most apparel, so I chose the small (which the site lists as a 4/6) for all of my Calia items. While the products fit, the Step Up Shorts are too short to comfortably wear for a run, especially given how loose and breezy they are. Furthermore, while I like the Scoop Neck Racer Tank top, it’s too long to wear unless it’s tucked into my bottoms—and even then I’d need to wear a cute sports bra underneath as the scoop neck exposes a lot of skin. The Performance Tee had...
Calia’s leggings cost less than many products from Lululemon and Athleta, and that difference is most apparent in the fabric. The Energize 7/8 Tights are made of “Calibreeze,” a “long-lasting, lightweight” lycra fabric. While they’re stretchy, sweat-wicking, and pass the squat test, the fabric felt thin and didn’t have the same luxurious, buttery f...
Yes, depending on what you’re looking for
If you’re looking for cute, no-frills activewear, Calia is a solid choice. While I didn’t love the fit of some pieces, the brand’s overall quality and construction is on par with styles we’ve tested from Fabletics, without the higher prices and subscription model. Plus, because Calia has free shipping and a free 90-day return policy, it’s worth giving the styles a try to see if they’ll work for you. Shop Calia at Dick's Sporting Goods
