There was a time when even the most fashion-forward editor considered wearing activewear for anything apart from your actual workout was an unthinkable faux pas. However, athleisure now comes celeb approved, with Kendall Jenner, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Hailey Bieber signing off on leggings and sports bras for their off-duty looks, all of whom have been reaching for one of our favourite brands on repeat. The brand in question? Alo Yoga.
Curious about why Alo Yoga is now a common sighting at airports, weekend brunches and casual date nights? That would be down to the brand’s knack for delivering high quality elevated basics that are as cute as they are functional. The LA-based label has been making waves with minimalist activewear sets and cult-favourite leggings over the past few years, winning over A-listers and fashion editors alike.
A key highlight amongst the brand’s offerings is the Airlift leggings. Worn recently by Kendall Jenner, the high-waisted leggings sculpt to your frame while the contrast piping adds a fashion-forward slant that makes them easy to style out of the gym. If you prefer activewear that's more lightweight, Jenner is also been partial to the Alosoft 7/8 leggings whose buttery soft fabric is breathable and comfortable enough to wear all day long.

The high-waist cut does wonders for your figure while the Airlift fabric provides compression for a sculpted fit. Jenner paired her crystal blue pair with the matching Airlift Charger bra, it'll work wonders with a graphic tee and a pair of cool trainers.
Another must-have is the Ribbed Prosper Tank. Whether you take notes from Jenner and wear it with matching shorts and flip flops for a quick errand run or style it with your favourite jeans and chunky trainers for a minimal effort/maximum style points outfit, it’s an easy summer essential.
Classic and unfussy, you simply need a tank top and this ribbed style is as versatile as it gets. Devoid of design except an understated logo, the Prosper tank has the most flattering scoop neckline and will go so well with everything from shorts and leggings to linen trousers, jeans and even maxi skirts.
Also notable are Alo Yoga’s track jackets and matching pants, as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley recently proved when she took her ivory track suit for a spin on Instagram, proving that activewear can truly be chic enough to take you beyond the gym.
Just as wearable for a weekend stroll as at the gym, these wide leg track pants are a cool take on the sporty classic with their baggy wide-leg silhoutte, mesh paneling and tonal piping. Styling notes include a baby tee and chunky trainers for an undeniably chic street style fit.
In case you missed it, technical jackets are having a moment for SS25 and this slouchy, oversized design is perfect for adding a sporty finish to your best summer dresses.
A mainstay in celebrity wardrobes, Alo Yoga is also incredibly popular with many of our favourite influencers and fashion editors. Whether you’re a seasoned Pilates pro looking to add a few cute ‘fits to the rotation or just considering a celeb-approved casual look for your summer roster, we've sorted through the website to find you the best A list-approved buys you can buy right now.

Sofia Richie Grainge was partial to this relaxed style while pregnant, so you know these soft and breathable leggings are as comfortable as it gets. Plus the limited edition candy red colourway, worn by Kylie Jenner, is perfect for a dopamine-boosting addition to your workout wardrobe.
Another Kendall Jenner favourite, these soft high-waisted bike shorts also come in trendier butter yellow and mint green shades. We'd add one of each to our cart to really round out the summer wardrobe.
Comfortable and flattering, the Airlift Intrigue Bra provides medium support thanks to its adjustable crisscrossing straps and removable padding, making it ideal for low-impact workouts like yoga and for styling with shorts for the beach.

We've already waxed lyrical about Alo's black Airbrush Heart Throb set, but the Kylie Jenner-approved set's lilac iteration is somehow more stylish and verstaile than ever.

This bra tank with removable cups is so popular that the brand struggles to keep it in stock. Perfect for the heatwave, the tank top pairs with everything from leggings to jeans for an easy yet elevated summer look.
While you don't need to wear this cropped and ribbed tank top with high-waisted jorts and suede trainers, we highly recommend you do. It's also a comfortable choice to layer over your sports bra and running shorts for a quick sunrise jog.
Give in to the Wimbledon fever with this swishy pleated tennis skirt. It features a sculpting and lifting waistband for a flattering fit and comes with built-in shorts and pockets to hold your tennis balls on the court and your phone should you wear it with a sleek white T-shirt and suede sandals on holiday.

Switch out the sculpt for buttery soft lightness with this comfy Alosoft take on the viral heart throb leggings. The delicate blush shade is also a winner for spring/summer.
Looking for a sports bra with proper support? The Airlift racerback bra provides compression while still being flattering and comes in an array of delectable shades, including this toasted butter yellow.
