Just like the best T-shirts and sneakers, leggings are pretty much a mainstay in every wardrobe, including celebrities. Whether heading to or from a workout, walking a furry friend, or just out and about running errands, a simple, black legging is an activewear and loungewear must. One of the most-loved brands of leggings for celebrities, which happens to make some of Vogue’s favorites, as well, is Alo.
The Los Angeles-based brand has been making high-performance activewear since 2007, but more and more we are seeing their super sleek leggings styles turning up everywhere on the street. The secret to Alo’s leggings is their fabrics—which editors and celebrities swear by.
The Top, Celeb-Approved Alo Yoga Leggings:
One of the most noticeable is probably the Airlift fabric, whose slight sheen is highly recognizable—and a favorite of everyone from Dakota Johnson to Laura Harrier. It provides impeccable compression and sculpting properties (because who doesn’t need a little lift?) that can power through high-intensity workouts, while the no-frills, high-waisted shape makes it easy to style with anything from athleisure looks to brunch fits, alike.
Another must-have is the Airbrush. This material has a matte finish and a cotton-like feel, while still providing four-way stretch and a smoothing look. Margot Robbie is just one of the few who recently took the Airbrush 7/8 legging for a spin—styled with a ball cap, cropped jacket, Celine Nino bag, and Dad sneakers, proving studio-to-street outfits can be chic. And for those who favor something on the softer side, Alosoft is supremely comfortable, lightweight, and breathable enough for even those soon-to-be mamas out there, as Sofia Richie Grainge proved during her pregnancy.
