Alo’s New Office-Appropriate Athleisure: A Review
As an avid fan of Alo, I’ve accumulated a drawer full of their workout clothes. Recently, Alo has expanded its range to include stylish athleisure that can easily transition to the office. Their new arrivals now showcase cashmere sweaters, tailored trousers, button-down shirts, and sleek blazers—perfect for the modern working professional.
Trial of Alo’s Stylish Workwear
Naturally, I decided to test out Alo’s new work clothes. With my less sporty colleague, Elly Leavitt, by my side—who had just ventured into the world of workout leggings—we made quite the duo. Unboxing my new Alo pieces, the fabrics impressed me right away. The Pursuit Trousers in a polyester-spandex blend were not only comfier than expected but also incredibly stretchy—ideal for those active moments in our day.
Office-Ready Tops That Feel Good
The Daylight and Dreamscape button-downs felt more like workout tops than traditional office attire. They are breathable and light, making them comfortable for hot commutes or casual meetings. Paired with luxurious cashmere knits and stylish faux leather jackets, these pieces add a touch of elegance: perfect for post-work gatherings.
The Blazer That Shines
My favorite among the new collection is the First-Class Blazer. Crafted from midweight suiting fabric, it handles sweat surprisingly well, meaning you can go from the office to the gym without the need for a wardrobe change. It’s the type of blazer that receives compliments not just from coworkers but also from fellow class attendees.
Elly Leavitt wearing Alo’s Dreamscape Trousers
Elly particularly liked the Dreamscape Trousers, noting that the fit was perfect for her tall frame, ensuring the length was genuinely long. The only downside: the material felt a bit too casual for her taste—more like hiking pants than formal wear.
Branding Considerations
Both of us were surprised by the logo placement on the garments, which was more casual than usual. While I didn’t mind, Elly thought it made the outfits feel a bit less polished.
The Verdict
Our consensus is clear: Alo’s athleisure-infused workwear is best suited for laidback professional environments. While pieces like the First-Class Blazer and Suit Up Trousers may not cut it in a formal courtroom, they fit perfectly in a co-working space or casual office setting.
