Their jacket fits so much better and stylish than Alo outerwear in general.
I basically live in this jacket these days, and it's so warm and cozy without feeling bulky. The curved waist makes me look slender and fit. You can wear it for outdoor workouts like early morning runs and casual wear when running errands. It’s lightweight yet provides solid warmth, with a water-repellent finish that keeps you dry in light rain.
I also find that Lulu has more functional details like thumbholes and zippered pockets than Alo.
I agree the quality is subpar to Lululemon if you're looking for performance, but Alo is really popular in LA. That laid-back, dressed-down SoCal look is what Alo is pushing for, and it seems like every 20 and 30 somethings is wearing Alo. I've tried a few Alo pieces, and I actually quite like the Accolade sweatshirts and sweatpants.
If you're shopping for casual athleisure looks that you can wear when you're running errands, Alo is a good contender. For actual workouts? Lululemon.
I’d definitely go with Lululemon over Alo, especially when it comes to materials and fit. Lulu’s fabrics just feel more durable and higher quality, and their technical specs are on point. The way their clothes move with you, especially during workouts, is unbeatable. I’ve found that Lululemon's pieces have better moisture-wicking, breathability, and overall functionality, which makes a big difference when you're working up a sweat. And nothing comes close to the Align (the Nulu fabric in general). The fit is also way more consistent for me—everything just feels more tailored and flattering. Alo’s stuff is cute for athleisure, but when it comes to performance, Lululemon wins hands down.

For me, Lululemon.

I think Alo does athletic skirts beautifully.
A lot of Alo' skirts or skorts feature A-line skirt silhouettes, and they look more flattering than other brands.
