The latter’s cult-favorite fabric, Space Dye—which has a marble look and a cozy, textured feel—is the best of its kind, and it’s featured in everything from the brand’s popular cropped tank and legging set to its maternity yoga pants that many stylish mamas swear by for their workout-to-street style.
