The verdict
Fit
Alumni shorts are designed with a fitted, athletic cut. Expect a supportive waistband and tapered thigh suitable for active wear or casual styling.
Quality
At $62 (clearance), this is fair value. Alo's construction is dependable; the discount reflects inventory clearance, not quality compromise.
Is the price fair?
Good value at the discounted price. You get standard Alo build quality at below regular pricing due to the limited colorway.
Best for
Women who like the Alumni fit and the Pink Quartz colorway, seeking a deal on a trusted athletic short.
Care
Wash cold, turn inside out, and air-dry to preserve the Pink Quartz color and maintain the short's fit.
What owners report about Alo Yoga shorts
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.
