The leggings, which I wore for a exercise and yoga session, are fabricated from the identical luxurious material because the bra, and have that very same supportive however not confining really feel. Out of the bag they seemed like they’d be too small, they usually felt fairly compressive whereas I used to be pulling them on. As soon as I began transferring round, nevertheless, they felt like a second pores and skin. They didn’t pinch or dig into my physique anyplace, and appeared to have a limiteless quantity of stretch. I used to be additionally actually proud of how high-waisted they’re: They absolutely cowl my stomach button however don’t encroach on the underside hem of my sports activities bra. They don’t have pockets, a drawstring, mesh panels, or every other cool athleisure-y options, however that sort of makes me like them extra—they’re clean, smooth, and never with out some enjoyable Catwoman vibes. —Sara Coughlin, senior commerce author
Vuori
Right here’s the lay of the land: I’m 5’4″ and sometimes put on medium tops/bras and a big in bottoms. I’d by no means really worn Vuori something, regardless of watching its sizes promote out rapidly at Nordstrom whereas writing about gross sales for SELF. Nevertheless, I’ve examined a ton of various leggings from many manufacturers (Girlfriend Collective, Lululemon, Nike, Brooks, Aerie, you identify it).
I used to be slightly skeptical when each the Evolve Sq. Neck Bra and Leggings arrived in measurement medium, however Vuori’s material is a mix of stretchy, tender, and supportive that I’ve not skilled earlier than (and makes it simpler to put on than some extra constrictive medium-size pairs). The fabric is sort of slippery to the contact, and pulling them on is like actually sliding into them. I very a lot appreciated that I didn’t need to struggle my approach into the 2 items, which can’t be mentioned for lots of leggings I’ve examined previously. The set was fitted with out being too tight, and it was cozy sufficient to put on round the home. I felt cute and cherished the stormy blue coloration—a pleasant change from my all-black and all-olive-green activewear! The leggings hit proper above my ankle, they usually have a uncooked reduce on the backside, which I feel helps make them simpler to tug on (however may additionally make them a tad extra vulnerable to fraying). The bra match completely, although I wanted the straps had been adjustable in case it stretches out over time.
