Renowned for its exceptionally comfortable performance-wear, Vuori swiftly ascended the ranks of athleisurewear upon its launch in 2014. However, it truly gained momentum in 2020, when a significant number of individuals opted for more comfortable and practical athleisure attire, abandoning rigid jeans and formal tops. The reign of at-home-wear continues to this day, and Vuori has proven itself to be a formidable contender for both our wallets and wardrobes. With its collection of soft and durable workout and leisure pieces, the brand seamlessly combines comfort and functionality.
Vuori offers a diverse range of products, including long-sleeve crop tops, cozy sweats, and insulated jackets that provide exceptional warmth even in temperatures as low as 40 degrees. I can personally vouch for the effectiveness of their coats, having tested one in the chilly climate of Chicago. Additionally, the brand offers a selection of cozy and practical accessories, such as the California Beanie and anti-odor Crew Socks, ensuring a complete and comfortable ensemble.
Vuori's commitment to ethical manufacturing practices and the environment is particularly noteworthy, setting it apart from other brands. The company's code of conduct, readily available on its website, outlines its stance on ethical labor. Additionally, Vuori partners with environmentally-friendly manufacturers that prioritize minimizing material waste and water usage.
In addition to its impressive ethical and environmental practices, Vuori's products are of exceptional quality. The stitching is precise, there is no evidence of pilling, and the fabric feels luxurious. From cream waffle crews to buttery-soft leggings suitable for everyday wear, I have personally tested and highly recommend Vuori's products. They have earned a place in my small New York City closet.
The best of Vuori
AllTheFeels Legging — $98.00
Introducing Vuori's latest addition to their collection: The AllTheFeels Legging, crafted with the innovative BlissBlend fabric. This exceptional material combines the comfort of an everyday legging with the flexibility of a performance legging. Over the past few weeks, I have thoroughly tested the AllTheFeels leggings during various activities such as Orangetheory workouts, leisurely walks with my dogs, and relaxing moments at home. Without a doubt, these leggings have become my ultimate favorite, leaving me yearning for them in every available shade.
During my running and weightlifting sessions, I have experienced unparalleled convenience as the leggings fit snugly and effortlessly move with my body. Furthermore, as an individual who perspires profusely, I am immensely impressed by the moisture-wicking properties of the fabric. It efficiently dries at an impressive rate, often leaving me completely dry by the time I arrive home from the gym, which is merely a 10-minute drive away. This functional attribute is truly invaluable and greatly appreciated.
Sizes available: XXS-XXL
Colors: 5
Pros:
- Extremely soft, yet durable
- Great for high-intensity workouts and leisure activities as well
- Sweat-wicking
- Pricey

Daily Wideleg — $98.00
Constructed from a blend of polyester and elastane, these wide leg pants possess an exceptionally smooth texture. What sets them apart is their high-waisted design, which accentuates my legs in all the right places while providing a subtle flare at the bottom. It is worth noting, however, that as an individual standing at a height of 5'1", these pants tend to run long when worn without any footwear. Therefore, I would recommend pairing them with shoes that have thicker soles. Personally, I opted for chunky boots.
In addition to their stretchiness and forgiving nature, these pants feature an elasticated tie that ensures a contoured fit. Furthermore, they offer the versatility to be dressed down with sneakers and a casual t-shirt or dressed up with a cozy, oversized sweater and stylish booties. Undoubtedly, they have become my preferred choice of pants for any occasion.

Clementine Short 2.0 — $58.00
I have a discerning taste when it comes to running shorts, and I must say that this particular pair is among the finest I have ever had the pleasure of trying.

Additionally, their aesthetic appeal is undeniable. I would not hesitate to wear them to the track, brunch, a hike, or even a day at the beach. The only improvement that could be made would be to increase the pocket capacity, as there is only one small zippered pocket in the front that can accommodate a credit card or keys.

Notably, it incorporates built-in shorts, which I absolutely adore, as they effectively prevent any discomfort caused by chaffing.

Feather Tee — $58.00
As a connoisseur of boxy tees, I must say that the Feather tee has surpassed my expectations for a white tee. Crafted from a blend of cotton and elastane, this tee boasts exceptional comfort, softness, and breathability.

However, the Feather tee's hemline falls perfectly at my hips, making it a versatile option for individuals of all heights.

Moisture-wicking, UPF 30+ protection, and odor-resistant, this long-sleeve crop tee is doing all of the hard work. Having taken this tee out for a spin during treadmill runs and lifts, I can attest to how warm and sweat-resistant this tee has been. BTW, I sweat a lot, and was surprised to find that I didn’t reek of BO post-jog or jumprope session. For me, this tee retains heat, so would recommend it for outdoor runs or air conditioned spaces. I’ve washed this long-sleeve tee several times, and so far, it still hasn’t pilled.
