- Alo Yoga wants you to believe it's a premium yoga apparel and lifestyle brand but is it actually worth the money or just smoke and mirrors from celebrity marketing?
Today we're going into Alo Yoga to try on and review all their best selling products - from leggings to loungewear to outerwear!
In typical Jen fashion, I'm going to discuss the fabric, construction and fit (try-on clips included!)
Let me know what other brands you would like to see me review in the comments!

the price differences are CRIMINAL
Agreed! 😩
@wangjenniferr Greek subs please??????????????
I had to rewind on that new price difference…$40!!!!! I think I need to rewind again…
Not hating on personal choice… but as a person who lives in LA, Alo tends to be for a few specific types of people. 1. You’re not really working out, so you don’t care how they hold up. 2. You have more money than sense so you don’t care. 3. You just want to walk around in Alo with your Stanley cup. All ok reasons… but like lots of things, imo, these things never live up to the hype in practice.
That puffer jacket screams LA, it would be a joke for a Canadian winter
@@manojipereira9169I feel like cropped puffers/ jackets generally are a warm climate thing. Like, a jacket that doesn’t even cover your butt is not gonna keep you warm when it’s snowing. I walked past a girl today wearing a super cute cropped jacket and leggings. It wasn’t even that cold but I could literally hear her teeth chattering. It’s cute, but not a trend that values warmth
$200 sweatshirt? I’ll rollback to Walmart happily
I got the airbrush leggings a while ago and while they haven’t pilled a whole bunch (I only wash with cold water), they have lost some compression. The airlifts are still holding up but then again, I only do pilates in them. I still prefer my PopFlex stuff. Please do a video on PopFlex. Cassey is such a good designer and the clothes are actually really high quality.
Thanks for helping me be a discerning customer! I fall victim to the soft fabric trick all the time, ugh. I like the voice over style of the video. It makes the video easier to concentrate to me. I hate the ambient noise whenever someone films in store.
looking at the insanely positive reviews on the website, I'm pretty inclined to believe they delete a lot of negative reviews
Their customer service is non existent so you’re probably right
Or pay for some of the positive ones.
They nuked my negative reviews from orbit. I think they were up for 2 hours before being removed.
They actually won’t let you post a negative review because believe me i tried.
I also tried to put negative comments and they didn’t post it!
I went to the one in Orange County to buy gifts and the employee had the audacity to appraise my outfit before helping me (I was wearing an indie streetwear brand) LIKE GIRL pls you sell mid quality activewear, this isn’t The Row. 🤡 Needless to say, this was a huge turn off and honestly embarrassing for the brand to act this way.
Many luxury fashion brands encourage their employees to behave like to entice the consumer to purchase more clothing as a way to “get back at them”. So I would not be surprised if this was a marketing strategy.
Starting your own clothing brand! Can’t wait to hear more 😮
been watching your videos for a while, and apart from being entertaining and informative, i just wanted to let you know that it's very appreciated how professionally you film - much nicer than most youtubers who use their phone!
The fact that their prices are different online and in store is absolutely unacceptable. I will probably never shop this store because of this alone. That’s so damn dirty.
Can you do a review on Everlane?
This!👍
Yes please!
I’m thinking everlane, naadam, and lilysilk (I’ve had good experiences thrifting all 3)
I need a review of polo Ralph Lauren😍😍
I second this
I live in Asia and I don't have these brands in my country, but it's always interesting and fun to go shopping with you. I used to only check for loose threads or the thickness of the clothes, but now I read the fabric composition carefully as well.
Oooooh, you should do a follow up video to let us know how the set you bought works in practice. Do the leggings stay up when you exercise or do you have to keep pulling them up, does the material sag after a day of use, does it withstand the squat test, etc. And let us know how it holds up over time, did it pill, fade, shrink, whatever. That would be interesting to see.
I got their sweat set and of course, it looked so worn and old after one wash. I feel so bad that I spent more than two hundreds American dollars on this! Never again. Thanks for your honest review!
I cannot believe that hoodie 🤯 that's wild pricing. Love ur videos!! I hang onto every word you say!
I look forward to your content. It would be so awesome for you to start your own brand! I work in a hospital too and live vicariously through your videos.😂
Now I’m excited at the prospect of you starting your own fashion line!
i would love a video on aerie and popflex :) also thank you for being informative
That's so odd, I was able to order something online and take it into the store with no problem! As much as I love Alo but I can 100% say I don't use it for activewear...moreso using it as fashion pieces instead. The prices deff kill meeee, but I will say I absolutely love the stylish pieces. However I 100% believe people should use their own discernment when making these purchases. Thank you for always giving an honest review!
Are you in the US? Jennifer is based in Canada so it seems like the online vs in store issue is probably a result of the website actually being run by a different part of the company (in the US) and the store doing its own thing in Canada.
In US and had nothing but great experience with them and their products. To include customer service whenever I shop online.
Please do a review on athleta and fabletics!! I want to know how they compare with the other athleisure reviews.
I've never been inside Alo, but was curious since I often walk by the store at Bay and Bloor. This was a super helpful review!
Came to comment exactly this! 😅
I started doing yoga about a month ago and so I'm gonna finally go to the mall and buy some proper attire soon. This video is sooo helpful to me (and your other content).
I've had a pair of airlift leggings for years, they still look brand new. Really nice leggings. I think it's also worth noting that almost all of their bottoms do come in 7/8 length as well, which is much better for us short people lol - perhaps they just don't have them in store. My airbrush leggings did stretch and pill a bit, but they are super super old, and I think they may have changed the fabric since then. A+ for alo bras, I love all of the ones I have. I also have a tennis dress with built in shorts from them (different to the one you tried) that I wear so much, it looks so nice on and also has adjustable straps.
I have come to enjoy your videos very much. Thank you for helping me be a more discerning shopper.
“Mystery filling” so funny 😅
I've learned so much thanks to you
That makes me so happy to hear 🫶
SO informative, thank you!!!!! Will def be looking out for your future vids (:
Love the short videos but was hoping you make long ones too 👌🏻
I would love to know how they justify the crazy differences between their online prices and in store prices. You’re already paying tax and shipping for their clothes online
i have a vintage track suit from alo, it’s grey and green. came with a jacket and flair track pants. it’s worn well for 2 years and many more because i got it second hand. i wish most brands kept their original quality. before the 2010s rebranding of everything.
You have seriously changed how i shop!! I’m so excited that you’re starting your own company! Looking forward to it!
I love the concept of this series! I went to alo a week ago and was pondering what the hell the brand is going for
Could you please review Vuori next? :)
I second that! Please review Vuori 😁
Me tooooo
I’m down the block from one of their new stores and was really pleasantly surprised by their stitching and construction, though I think the feel and quality of fabric is a little more hit or miss. I’ve had a pair of their basic joggers for two years though and have had surprisingly little pill at the thighs.
yes plz
Love this video ! I have the accolade sweats set and they don’t hold well after wash it . Please recommend a brand for longe sweats ? Thank you
Honestly, I have a few sets from the Accolade line and mine have held up well these past 2-3 years. I do take care of them - turn them inside out, machine wash with cold water on "delicate" cycle, and low heat in the dryer for only 30 mins max and air dry if needed. Might seem "too much effort" for the price I've paid, but I always do this for all my activewear and they hold up very well. I have tried so many sweatpants and Alo fits me the best, especially the Accolade Straight Leg Sweatpant. They're thick and layer up well.
Thanks for the review!
I got a giftcard and purchased the airbrush legging, it holds up well after a couple of washes and the compression is great!
Love your thorough reviews. Please review ARITZIA.
Love your videos Jen! Please please please can you do Uniqlo next?
I've owned two pairs of Alo pants and while I loved the style of them, they did not hold up well at all; one pair basically disintegrated, and FAST... I avoid the brand entirely since
Girly, could you please do this for FREE PEOPLE’s best sellers?!! ♡
Thank you Jen!!!!🙏
You are so welcome!🥰
Thank you for doing this! Would you consider reviewing Vuori?
Why are their clothing all different in colors when in fact theyre supposed to be same exact colors🤯
I know this is besides the point but your ring is BEAUTIFUL!!! 😍😍😍 also, starting your own fashion brand?!?!?!? sign me up!!
04:56 these pearls of knowledge is why I appreciate content like yours. Thank you
I never want to risk makeup on items too. When I went to Japan they gave me a thin dryer sheet like bag to put over my face when dressing so the clothes would not touch.
I wish they had them in Canada
It was common practice {in higher end stores} to have a chiffon scarf available in the ladies fitting rooms. You would throw the scarf over your head before slipping into a garment, to prevent make-up transfer.
So informative. Thank you
I have the gold rush puffer and it’s honestly very warm and I have even washed and dried it and it holds up great. I love the airlift leggings and think they are super flattering and hold you in. Airlift line is nice and holds up super well.
I have the ribbed velour gold rush puffer and absolutely lovee it. It’s super warm, plush and looks and fits amazing.
I watched this review to possibly apply as i am a really good merchandise/visual.. but i cannot take part in scamming people. They pay so so well too... 70k starting. But i been on retail for 15 years and i understand what these companies do now. 100 percent this is a trend brand versus a long lasting brand. Trust me theres a difference. Take a step back and really think about it. They take the same things u find in marshalls or ross, add one extra thing and mark it as 200 dollars. Lululemon is a long lasting brand in this style of fashion for sure. This company focuses on LOOKING expensive but cant back it up.
I would buy your fashion brand clothing!!!!❤
The muse pants actually hold pretty well 🤣 I have those in 3 different colors and they don’t stretch out around the knee area.
The airbrush ones definitely pill. Airlift is definitely the best choice
I was gifted two pairs of Alo pants after I gave birth. One was the muse pair you tried on. They’re a cranberry color and that color seems to disguise and gunkiness better than the color you tried. I also was gifted a dark cranberry pair of the drawstring joggers you tried too. Those are still pretty good after 2.5 years. Not perfect but much better than the Muse pair.
Would love to see your review on popflex!
Did I hear you say you’re starting your own clothing brand?? 😮
One thing to mention about the airbrush leggings - of the 10+ brands I ordered and tried, the airbrush were the most resistant to attracting pet hair ! This is a big deal for me. Sportswear by nature can easily attract hair like a magnet and with the Alo fabric,it brushes off easily. So far mine have never pilled and the compression is perfect. Note: I wash in reverse, cold and airdry.. Honestly they look nearly brand new after having them for 2yrs now..
Have you ever ordered from Lovers + Friends? Love to see you come out with your own brand btw!
90% of the AliExpress leggings are better than an overpriced Alo legging 🤷🏻♀️
Waiting to hear about your brand! 🎉
Thank you so much for giving critics it really helped me
Jen can u review Ralph Lauren next?❤
My favorite leggings are Alo Airlift. I only get airlift from Alo. You are right about the pilling issue on their loungewear. BUT I have a sweatshirt that I love from them called Soho and they pill like crazy but I don't care because they were bought to wear only in the house. Airbrush sucks over time... pills and stretches out. They release the same colors every year but with only a slight twist.
Like the leggings and sports bra you showed, but wow, those price differences online vs in store - crazy! I shop almost only online, as no stores near me, so that is worrying. We don't have Alo stores here, so the fact that online is so much more expensive makes it a hard pass for me. Would you try out Varley sometime? Would love your opinion. Not sure if you have it in your area, but very popular in EU/ UK.
im the opposite of an alo stan
I would really love it if you could try. M and S (Marks and Spencer's) it is a British brand but I belive they do ship to the US. It is one of my go to for jeans, t-shirts and basics. Their fabrics are very good and I have many peices from them which I have owned for over 5 years.
Could you do Gymshark next? They don’t have a store front in Toronto but they are available online in Canada. Love your content :)
I own three things from Alo, two of their long line bras and a cropped jumper, all of them for a few years old. They are a staple in my workout wardrobe - but I bought them on discount so deem them a good find. Other than that, their items don’t really appeal and I couldn’t justify paying full price!
Ugh it’s so frustrating when you can’t return something in store from online. I received a gift of a New Balance sweater and it didn’t fit right so I went to exchange it and I couldn’t in store, and tried contacting their customer service online to never get a response. I now stay away from places that operate this way when I can.
I would love for you to do a review of quince!
They just opened the store in Dubai Mall. I went in and found it too pricey. Came home to check reviews and surprisingly found a lot of negative reviews.
Do you prefer wunder train from LLL or air lift from alo? Thx for your honest reviews!
I bought one of their leggings.. spandex texture and they piled after the first wear. I was just doing leisure activities. No exercise. It didn’t even get washed yet and they were so expensive.. I thought they would last.. I would not buy their leggings again after that… but their designs are so nice
That's wild that they have a price difference between online and in-store.
Review Sezane or Aritizia next?
I got their sweater when they had the 30% sale. When I got it I was so surprised at how thin it was. Never will I buy anything from them other than their socks. Even with the sales it’s still insane to charge 70 bucks for a sweater that doesn’t even keep you warm.
Im so inlove with my airlift leggings from alo
Love your videos. Can you do one on small leather goods? ☺️🙏🏼
An alo recently opened up 15 min from where I live. Because of you I knew how to check all of their products for quality. I saw a really nice pea coat and I flipped to the inside and the stitching was not straight and worse, I checked the fastening of the button and the button popped right off! The basic sweats, I was absolutely shocked at how rough the outer material was! Absolutely felt like a Walmart basics! For $118 each piece, it’s robbery. I’m embarassed for anyone who shops here because of trend and not quality. Sizing I believe is also exclusive to petite ish bodies, I’m a size 4-6 34ddd, bras were out of the question and I was struggling in their xl sizes (which they BARELY had).
I would love to see you do a skims review! Heard such great things but don't want to/cant spend $ like that unless the quality is worth it
The alo soft is my favorite.
It sucks because I really like the soft corderoy look. But the fabric looks cheap. Thanks for your review. Since you compared to Walmart for their hoodie. Can you do a Walmart review?
Do you have any advice for quality jumpers, coats etc. that aren’t wool? I’m severely allergic to wool so I have to wear synthetic.
Can you do Sweaty Betty or PE Nation?
Yes please! Are these big in North America?
I live in the UK now, where Sweaty Betty is very prominent - and I love them! I’m a convert from Lululemon and haven’t looked back. Want to know what you think! Not tried PE Nation though and also curious 😇
Thank you for your content, Jennifer.
Recently I purchased a blazer from Ann Taylor. It wasn’t crazy expensive. But the quality isn’t what I’d hoped for. 😢
It wrinkles easily and looks like I slept in it after sitting.
I need a tan/camel PETITE single breasted blazer.
Any suggestions of where I should shop for a staple like this?
Starting your own fashion brand?! Sign me upppp
Please do a review of Aritzia 🙏🏾❤️
i loveeee this kind of commentary 🤣❤️
Best winter coat???? Now that they’re all on sale 😉
Alo is much more trendy than lululemon. I love some of their fabric. It’s nice for lounging but I’m not too sure for work out. Some of the fabric is a meh🤷🏻 but most of all I hate their logo. It’s kind of embarrassingly funny. I don’t know if I wanna be seen in it if it doesn’t have so much heavy marketing.
please review tna lounge wear!
Truthfully as a yoga instructor, I see my student wear Alo or Lululemon and the outfit doesn't make you perform better. I buy my leggings from Costco and it suits me fine and I had more than 5 years of wear on them and they are still wearable.
Can you please do a review of the Athleta activewear line at Gap?
Can you please review Brooks Brothers. Are they still a real staple well made etc?😺
Jennifer, I couldn't locate your email--but, for future videos, since you see nto know your fabrics, with Summer on the horizon, and hell it will be in my city thi week, I'd love for you to do a series on what fabrics/items you suggest for hot, humid weather & of course for the hot, dry folks too
ohh please can you review adanola? quite intrigued abotu the quality
If you're starting a fashion brand, would totally be into natural materials :)
Hit or miss with Alo- I love waiting for their annual sale and doubling it with cash back from credit cards to justify some of their items!
Why can’t I get ANY white basics anymore from these “high end” brands?!! They’re ALL see through !! I’m better off getting white tops from targets wild fable
Some brands to try next if you haven’t yet: anthropology, free people, ugg , Topshop , urban outfitters (I know for a fact the products have gone down in quality on all these )
Could you review old navy or aritzia next?
Hi im trying to find ur video wherein u mentioned where u buy 2nd hand luxury bags 😊😊😊 could u tell me?? Plsssss
