Main character energy incoming: I’m not a New Year’s resolution kind of gal, but this year I’m flexing my workout goals like it’s a TikTok trend. After surviving 6 AM reformer classes and craving a reward, I got handed the task of testing out Alo Yoga—aka the It girl’s go-to activewear. Let’s be real, I’ve seen Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Hailey Bieber in these pieces so often, I thought I’d finally get to experience the hype. Spoiler: it’s not all glitter and flex.
First off, Alo Yoga is not cheap. Sports bras range from £48 to £78, and leggings start at £88. But hey, if you’re a celeb with a trust fund, you’ll probably justify it with “it’s made of fancy materials.” I stayed true to size (S-M) and tried everything from the Airbrush Heart Throb leggings to the Airlift bra. The Airbrush bra was a flex—sweetheart neckline, low back, and a compression fit that felt like a second skin. I did the wiggle test (yes, I’m that girl) and it passed with flying colours. No more bra strap slippage or digging in the middle of a HIIT class.
The leggings? Hmm. They looked good in photos, but in real life, they had a cotton-y texture that made me nostalgic for school gym days. The compression fit was snug, but during my squats, they started wiggling down my waist. The sales rep said to size down if you’re between sizes, but I’m still questioning the quality. Some pieces felt like they were made for Instagram, not actual workouts.
Then there’s the Accolade Sweatpant—my holy grail. Made of French terrycloth-cotton, they’re like my fav trackies but with a luxury twist. I paired them with the Airbrush bra for a loungewear combo that’s perfect for a chilly London day. And the Alo Runner sneakers? Lightweight, supportive, and my feet didn’t feel like they were being squished. If you’re into practical yet stylish shoes, these are a flex.
💫 Size down if you’re between sizes, and prioritize the sweatpants and sneakers over the leggings.
Key points: Alo Yoga is pricey but worth it for the premium materials and fit. Size down if you’re between sizes, and prioritize the sweatpants and sneakers over the leggings. Also, don’t skip the wiggle test—your future self will thank you.
