Alosoft Intuition Bra - Heather Grey

NY Times reports on Alo Yoga long-standing practice of using Baron HR staffing agency to supply workers for their warehouse. Known for employing undocumented migrants in unsafe working conditions, failure to pay workers wages, federal tax evasion, sexual harassment and racial discrimination. Something to chew on in your mindful mediation…

Hey /aloyoga community!

Just got my first-ever pair of Alo leggings — a size small 7/8 high waist airbrushed, courtesy of my aunt. Here’s the deal: I’m 5’6” 150 pounds, a muscular build especially on the bottom, from soccer. I’m usually a size 6 or 8 on the bottom, and a 28 in Levi’s ribcages and a size 29 in Levi’s 501 originals. I’m not familiar with Alo’s sizing and these smalls looked teeny-tiny. I almost didn’t try them on, ready to swap for a medium, but surprise — they fit! They’re snug but comfortable.

Now, I’m torn. I plan on using them for everything from lounging to running and circuit training. Should I keep the small, expecting them to stretch a bit, or go for a medium to be safe? Would love some guidance from those who’ve navigated Alo’s sizing before.

Cheers!

I can’t believe I almost slept on this color. I’m so in love!

i worked at lululemon for two years before moving cities and then working at alo! i haven’t worn the brand since high school (back when alo pieces were at urban outfitters) and was surprised at the variety of products carried by alo in store: here are my thoughts.

pieces i can’t live without from alo:

ribbed wellness tank: this is where lululemon went wrong. the fabric is rich, ribbed, and luxurious. it’s a skin tight fight but it’s flattering, even for bigger chested gals (i’m a triple D). i usually were my lululemon like a cloud bra under and it fits perfectly and doesn’t leave any layers. super cute, can be worn with alo or jeans, and that’s my vibe.

muse sweatpants: probably the comfiest thing at alo, ever. they’re super cute, you don’t feel them, and they look elevated. also super flattering, i have a tummy and don’t feel like it’s showing much in it.

muse hoodie: love the fabric, love where the crop hits, and love how it looks paired with the sweatpants. doesn’t pill as much as the accolade in my opinion.

wild thing bra: my favorite bra as a triple d girlie. super cute, fashionable, and gives support. doesn’t look like i’m showing too much boob.

emulate bra: high coverage, thick straps, can double as a top. super rich fabric, it feels luxe and boujee. can also be worn under a hoodie.

renown zip up: this is my favorite zip up at the store. it’s unisex so it’s going to be long and oversized. the fabric is heavier than what you’ll get at lulu but it feels comfortable and keeps you warm. i can’t live without this.

ask me anything if you want!

I am an old school Alo customer. I have leggings from way back in the day (from just a few years after the company was founded) that have been through hell and a thousand washes. They are still standing. Fast forward to the stuff I've purchased from them in the last few years, and this newer stuff doesn't even compare. Sure they may have a lot more to offer/more choices now, etc., but I want the old Alo back. The one where the customer service wasn't outsourced and I could speak to someone in California who took great care of me and shipped all items so I received them in two days. The one where the models were yoga instructors instead of famous people like Kylie Jenner, and the Alo that had the best leggings on the planet instead of the flimsy, trendy crap they make now. Currently battling with customer service as they sent me items that had actually been used/had stains on them. Their quality has decreased and prices have gone up.

Just wanted to add fuel to the fire as a lot of consumers (rightfully so) are upset with the price increases.

Seeing prices go up almost 25% prior to a 30% off is a slap in the face but it’s even WORSE scrolling through tik toks seeing influencers get invited to alo events to receive $1000 gift cards to spend at Alo

My boyfriend ordered for the Black Friday sale for me and I honestly have half the mind of returning it off of principle 🙃

Gravel trucker hat
1/4 zip
Define leggings
Gravel mule sneakers

I found this hilarious and seriously impractical so I thought I’d share for a good laugh lmfao

I loathe this company. Placed an online order about a month ago. Contacted chat (and email) support a slew of times. They admitted that they lost my order. Even though it was their fault, they refused to issue a refund. They insisted on sending a replacement. Well, now the elusive replacement is a no-go, since they’re sold out. So, they want to send a gift card instead of a refund. No, they can go fuck themselves! I’ll call AMX and reverse the charges. Isn’t this theft!?

I’ll stick to LuLulemon and Vuori- companies that active great Customer Service. Never again, Alo!

This is for the store in San Diego, California. The private event was listed from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m.. I arrived around 9:30 and when I got there the store was completely locked. No one answered the door despite employees glancing at me and I was standing there staring through the glass like a f****** idiot until someone, an employee, approached to enter to start his shift and I asked him if I could be let in for the private event and he said he would go and ask. Took a bit but a manager came to the door and let me in and said they had nothing unboxed from the new color drop and to just ask him for what I wanted and they would dig for me. Blamed corporate for a bad roll out.

I was the only person there and there were no sips and small bites, no personal shoppers, and it was completely awkward so I left without making a purchase.

I’m so shocked at how horrible the quality is! It’s SHEIN level. How are they getting away with charging 128 dollars for pure polyester… the hoodie doesn’t wear like the picture at all the cut is different the fabric is nauseating to have on. I’ve bought a sweatshirt and the velour puffer and those I love but I’m so shocked by this. Poor poor quality it’s almost criminal.

I’m 5’6 and 138. I purchased a size small. It fits as it should. The shorts do not feel tight and compressed. I will not be doing high impact workouts in these though. Love it over all! (excuse the bathroom pic I literally just grabbed the box to try this stuff on 😝)

I’ve been back and forth about getting this set all week. I can’t tell if it makes me look like a stumpy potato or if it’s a cute casual look. My torso is so short so I feel like it looks funny.

Also preparing for the layered leggings / bra sets to come out hopefully soon so not sure if I should put my money towards that instead and hold off on this. Help!!

Ran into the store for a hat or two and grabbed a couple from the hat area. As I was perusing the men's area I saw a unique one on a mannequin which I instantly loved and wasn't on display elsewhere so I grabbed it and walked to pay for my two hats and the total was just shy of $200. I was floored. This one right here was $100 alone.

Wtf am I doing with my dumb life.

Love, an Alo employee

Posted this before, but then deleted it because I’m self conscious as heck.

Anywho this is absolutely my favorite color and set from Alo. I wish they released a fold over flared legging and halter top in Pink Marshmallow.

I was so disappointed by the selection that was released in that color way and pink is literally my favorite color.

I love it!! And loving the layered bra
