Namaste, but make it fashion
When yoga is life, it’s not just the philosophy of spirituality that gets carried over to the everyday. Sometimes, we also want to bring the comfort of our workout wardrobe to all aspects of our existence.
With its assortment of performance apparel that blends fashion and function, premium lifestyle brand Alo—which stands for “air, land, and ocean”—makes it so that activewear can work well beyond the mats.
The Los Angeles-based wellness label opened its first store in the Philippines ahead of International Yoga Day, marking Alo’s continued expansion across Southeast Asia. The 235.5-square meter space at the ground level of Greenbelt 5, Makati City, offers a wide range of designs that transitions seamlessly from studio to street. Be it for work or formal event or simply lounging, just the tiniest bit of imagination can transform gym clothes into whatever is needed to meet the appropriate dress code.
Of course, Alo’s diverse catalog of leggings, sweatpants, shorts, shirts, hoodies, and knits make for perfect lounging attire. But for going out for brunch, consider a lightweight Sheer Cashmere Long Cardigan under a slightly structured oversized Pinstripe Daylight Button-Down Long Sleeve, paired with a tailored high-waisted Show Off Cargo Wide Leg Trouser.
For a flirtier, preppier look, tease with Alosoft Highlight Bra and Mesh Baseline Tennis Skirt in pretty colors, while wearing a cozy Cable-Knit Cropped Winter Bliss Turtleneck Long Sleeve, or just draping it over the shoulders.
Meetings should be a breeze when wearing the breezy High-Waist Dreamscape Trouser and shimmery Sport Play Knit Bra under a deliciously chic Wool Cropped Metro Trench.
With Alo’s luxe fabrics and snug fit, pieces can even cross to cocktails and beyond. Add a slight edge to the delicate Micro Plisse Game On Tennis Dress by wearing buttery smooth Faux Leather Cropped Premier Bomber over it. And turn seriously sultry by combining Airbrush Streamlined Bra Tank’s classy piping detail and sleek square neckline with high-slit Micro Plisse Game On Long Skirt and boxy classic single-breasted First-Class Blazer.
