For accessories and sweats, Alo. And for all kinds of workouts, Lululemon. Lululemon absolutely dominates in the leggings and sports bras game. But I love Alo's hair accessories like this claw clip. Alo's 90s Claw Clip is the ultimate accessory to nail that effortlessly cool, retro vibe. The oversized, curved shape of the clip is a perfect nod to iconic 90s fashion, while its sleek, minimalist finish makes it feel fresh and updated for today. It’s a perfect balance of nostalgic and contemporary.

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.

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.
