7" Conquer React Performance Short - Navy

Alo Yoga has no single fit: loungewear (hoodies, sweatshirts, sweatpants) runs deliberately oversized, leggings sit roughly true to size with style-by-style swings, and compressive pieces feel snug.

Owners consistently describe the sweats side of the line as roomy by design — one try-on reviewer notes "many of their clothes are oversized" and kept her usual medium sweatpants for the baggy look while an XS gave a fitted one, and a shopper quoted in a sizing roundup said "i would def go smaller in the bottoms i have found them to run a little big." Leggings are the steadier part of the catalog: multiple reviewers call the Airlift true to size, though a retailer's fit guide advises sizing down in most other legging styles because they cut generous and long. Compressive styles pull the other way — reviewers report snug waistbands and bras, with size-ups common in tight shorts and mesh bras. The recurring owner refrain is that sizing is inconsistent enough across pieces that per-item fit notes matter more than a house rule.

Sizing advice: Take your usual size in Airlift leggings, size down in hoodies/sweatpants unless you want the full oversized look, and size up in compressive shorts and bras if you're between sizes.

What's my size at Alo Yoga?

Reviewers who test the shorts praise their stretch and cross-activity range — one hands-on review called them "the stretchiest shorts I've ever tried" and wore them for yoga, climbing, running, and hiking without them riding up. Sizing coverage says the shorts run snug: waistbands use firm elastic, and owners who fit the brand's leggings report the same size feeling tight in shorts. At the brand level, longtime customers have been posting complaints about declining quality — pilling after a few wears and seams coming undone — which reviewers weigh against the premium prices.

Strengths

Hands-on reviews consistently report exceptional stretch and comfort that holds across gym, yoga, running, and hiking use.

Watch out for

Owner threads report pilling after only a few wears and seams coming undone on recent items, and the firm shorts waistbands feel tight on many buyers.

Sizing

Shorts often run small around the waist and hips — one owner reports her usual medium is "perfect in leggings but tight in shorts" — so consider sizing up, especially in compressive styles.
