Airlift High-Waist Elongated Legging - Black

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?

Owner reports split sharply on durability: pilling after washing is the most common complaint across the leggings and sweatpants, alongside stretched waistbands and inconsistent quality between collections. Fit and feel draw consistent praise — soft, flattering fabric that moves well for yoga and studio wear. Experiences vary by line: one long-term tester reports no pilling or fading after ten-plus washes of the flagship legging, while other owners say the fabric feels sticky once you sweat and isn't breathable enough for hot workouts. At prices frequently over a hundred dollars, several reviewers say durability doesn't always match expectations.

Strengths

Reviewers praise flattering fits and soft, comfortable fabric that moves well for yoga and low-sweat studio sessions.

Watch out for

Pilling after washing is the most-cited failure, followed by stretched waistbands, quality that varies by collection, and fabric that runs hot and sticky when you sweat.

Sizing

Sizing varies by line — reviewers call most styles true to size, but many owners size up in the tighter high-compression styles because of the snug waistband.
