Trend-setting celebrities have had no small part in the ubiquity of athleticwear – everyone from Glen Powell and Tom Holland to Kaia Gerber and Vanessa Hudgens are frequently photographed in Vuori’s most stylish pieces in their respective cities. And over the course of a couple of years, what was once relegated to the gym has become a wardrobe staple among the most fashionable people in the world. On Vogue alone, there are dozens of roundups ranking the “best celebs nailing the off-duty look.”
Its newfound popularity begs the question: which brand does it best? When it comes to durability, versatility, comfortability and style, there’s really only one answer: Vuori. With competitors selling sets for more than $300, the California-based company boasts the same quality for a fraction of the price. A pair of their classic sports bra and leggings will cost you less than $200. After trying them out for a week straight, I won’t be shopping for performance apparel anywhere else in the future – and I can promise you that once you take the plunge on a pair yourself, you’ll say the same.

Vuori AllTheFeels? Leggings + Bra
I tried Vuori’s AllTheFeels? Leggings ($98) and AllTheFeels? Bra ($58) for one week, during which I wore them to Pilates classes, cardio gym seshes, grocery shopping and walks around New York City. Above all, what I was most impressed by during all these activities was their comfortability, especially for this price point.
Made from Vuori’s innovative BlissBlend? fabric – a performance stretch knit that moves with you – both pieces were highly breathable, soft and lightweight without lacking in support. Seriously, when I first got them in the mail, I literally rubbed one of the pieces along my cheek because of how soft to the touch they felt. While such durability and support require thicker fabrics in other sets I’ve tried, this unique fabric, with moisture wicking tech, allows for a lightness that is not only bearable, but comfortable, to wear in the summer heat – an absolute requirement as heat waves currently rampage through the east coast.
I will note that they run slightly small. That being said, their leggings come with Short, Medium and Long options for extra personalization and their website has a handy sizing guide, and a 360 stretch that makes them wearable despite the size differences.
Usually such comfortable athleticwear at this price point sacrifices quality in other areas, such as style and versatility. But that’s what makes Vuori a favorite on the market: they boast the same comfort level as more expensive competitors, but are just as, if not more, flattering.
Even when I wasn’t on my way to a workout class or the gym, I opted for my matching AllTheFeels? set because I genuinely love how my body feels and looks in them. The ultra-soft and stretchy fabric helps the pieces hug me in all the right places, and their lightness and breathability make them the best option for running errands on a hot summer day. Plus, their athleticwear all come in dozens of unique colors to brighten any outfit – from this chic Vintage Pistachio to this bright Executive Pink to basic Black.
All in all, if you’re looking for durable, ultra-soft athleticwear, Vuori is your best bet.
