Chic and Shiny is reader-supported. When you click on some of the links on this site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission — at absolutely no extra cost to you.
How This Works
Some of the activewear brands and products we review, compare, and feature on Chic and Shiny have affiliate programs. That means if you click through to a brand’s site — or to a retailer like Amazon — from one of our articles and buy something, we may receive a small percentage of that sale. This is a common way independent review sites like ours stay running without charging readers directly.
Amazon Associates Disclosure
Chic and Shiny is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
This applies whenever you see an activewear accessory — like hair ties, athletic caps, water bottles, or race gear — linked out to Amazon on this site.
This Doesn’t Change What We Say
Whether or not a brand has an affiliate program has no bearing on how we rate it, what we say in a review, or whether we recommend it at all. We’ve turned down featuring products we didn’t genuinely like, and we call out real downsides — fit issues, quality problems, pricing that doesn’t match the value — even for brands we work with. If you want to know more about how we actually test and rate what we cover, you can read more on our About page.
Not Sponsored Content
None of our reviews, comparisons, or best-of lists are paid placements. We’re not compensated by any brand to write positively about their products. Affiliate commissions only happen after a genuine purchase decision you’ve already made — we never get paid just for mentioning a brand.
Questions?
If you ever have a question about a specific recommendation, or want to know whether a particular link on the site is an affiliate link, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to be transparent about it.
