I’m a shopping writer who tests activewear for a living, and I’ve tried every major workout brand—think Lululemon, Athleta, Beyond Yoga, and more. The label that dominates my closet is Alo, which says a lot about how much I love it. That’s because the Los Angeles-based brand offers a huge variety of workout clothes, and everyday clothing that are comfortable, functional, and easy to mix and match with just about everything in my wardrobe. The quality of its clothing is consistently top-notch, its sizing is inclusive, and its pieces hold up through all kinds of activities.

In fact, I’ve been exercising in Alo clothes for over six years, and I also wear them during errands, couch rot days (we all have ‘em!), and even at the office. In terms of workouts, the brand has pieces for both high and low-intensity gym sessions, which I can’t say for all brands. For example, Beyond Yoga makes some of my all-time favorite yoga and Pilates wear, but its bras are not padded or thick enough for HIIT or running. Alo, on the other hand, has clothing that feels supportive, soft, and looks adorable to boot. In fact, I’d go as far as to say it’s one of the most stylish athleisure brands.
