About
It’s recommended that adults get 150 minutes — or two and a half hours — of moderate exercise each week. It doesn’t sound like much, but in practice, work and stress can easily get in the way of hitting that goal. Alo aims to change that with its wear-all-day athleisure and hundreds of recorded fitness and meditation videos. Grounded in the intention of bringing yoga and its principles into every aspect of life, Alo makes athleisure that moves with you from mat to street or street to mat. In turn, the company has worked to operate responsibly by using renewable energy and low-water dyes, as well as maintaining the highest rating from the WRAP labor watchdog group. And since habits are formed young, Alo Gives provides free mindfulness and yoga classes for educators to use to teach their students how to stay calm, focused, and confident.
Why We Love It
If there’s one fashion fact we learned this past year, it’s that joggers are the new jeans. Alo covers every base from lounging to high-impact training for men and women alike, with five different fabrics of varying degrees of compression, breathability, and softness in styles you can wear anywhere. If you’re an avid pilates fan like our very own Katie, check out the leggings and bra tank she rocked while doing a headstand this summer — in her words, “Take that, 64.” We recommend the Essential Set for anyone whose yoga gear is in need of a refresh. And for all the runners out there, the men’s Repetition and women’s Stride shorts are perfectly breathable and look just as good around town.
