How Vuori Replaced My Need For Lululemon, Alo Yoga, & Outdoor Voices

Editor’s Note: Over the last year I took the leap and embraced activewear. But with so many out there it was hard finding one that suited all my needs. While looking for the perfect fit I stumbled across Vuori and decided to give them a shot.

Here’s What My Wardrobe Was Like Before Vuori:

Like many, I have fully embraced athleisure - it just makes sense. As a fashion editor, it was difficult to come to terms with, but ultimately I want to be comfortable. However, I was not about to sacrifice my personal style.

I tried out the big brands like Lululemon, Alo Yoga, and Outdoor Voices. Each one had its highlights but none checked off every box on my list.

Of course I’d heard about Lululemon’s infamous Align leggings, so as an activewear-rookie I just had to get them. While they were comfortable, they weren’t anything extraordinary. I even noticed the fabric started pilling after only a couple of months.

When it comes to a wide selection, Alo Yoga is great … until my order actually arrived. Their clothes felt like edgier yoga gear which is cool but a little too niche for me. I want my athleisure to be versatile so I can go from day to night without an entire outfit change.

Lastly, I tried Outdoor Voices, which is definitely an Instagram-induced treat. It was a score! Although I got some super cute sets for gym sessions or my next outdoor adventure, it was a let down in terms of leisure wear. Plus, it’s difficult to mix and match their pieces with the rest of my wardrobe.

I thought I’d never find my ideal brand and my closet would be a jumble of a billion pieces bouncing from low-quality, “affordable” to pricey items I never wear. That was until a friend recommended Vuori.

Here’s What My Wardrobe Looks Like After Finding Vuori:

Once I embraced comfort, I couldn’t believe Vuori wasn’t my first (and last) stop.

Their fabrics are soft and luxurious - whether it’s in the form of joggers or a jacket. I’m in love with the Performance Jogger’s DreamKnit ™ fabric. You’ll find me in them at least 4days a week, working from home, lounging around the house or running errands.
