As someone who basically lives in activewear, I’ve tried countless brands that promised performance, comfort and style — only to be disappointed by cheap materials, poor fits, and clothing that fell apart after a few washes. I settled for lesser-quality workout clothes because they seemed like a good deal at the time, but I was constantly having to replace them.
That’s when I finally found a brand that put an end to my cycle of replacing worn-out workout clothes — Vuori.
Vuori brings a fresh perspective to performance apparel with dynamic West Coast-inspired designs that stand the test of time way better than other status-brands. They offer premium athletic wear that delivers on performance and lasts. And I love how their pieces fit.
Here are 10 things I wish I’d known about Vuori sooner:
Things I’d Wish I’d Known About Vuori, And Why They’re Worth The Price:
1. Unmatched Quality: I’ve worn plenty of athletic brands, but Vuori’s quality really stands out. From the first wear, I noticed the difference in fabric — soft, durable and surprisingly lightweight. Even after countless washes, my Vuori gear holds its shape, colour and feel.
2. Perfect Balance of Comfort and Performance: Vuori’s fabric is designed to feel like a second skin, making it ideal for everything from lounging around to HIIT workouts. Their signature DreamKnit™ fabric is buttery soft, but still wicks sweat and stretches, perfect for yoga and pilates.
3. Yes, It’s Worth the Price: I’ll admit, I was hesitant at first because Vuori isn’t the cheapest. But after wearing their gear for a while, I realised that Vuori is so worth it. Cheaper alternatives might seem tempting, but they don’t last nearly as long or look as good after multiple wears.
4. A Wide Range of Products and Styles: Vuori goes beyond workout gear. They offer everything from performance joggers to casual Y-shirts and hoodies, and even swimwear.
And I absolutely love their colour options: Iron Heather, Goldenrod Heather, Smoke Blue Heather and so many more. Whether you prefer muted tones or bold colours, you’ll find something to suit your style. I’ve built an entire wardrobe that seamlessly transitions from the gym to everyday life, for both workouts and everyday wear.
5. Free Returns, Free Shipping Over £150, and 20% Off Your First Purchase: Vuori’s customer service is top-notch and so is their offer for first-time customers! It’s a no-risk way to see if Vuori is really for you — spoiler alert, it is!
6. Stylish, Fashionable and Great for Gifting: Vuori’s activewear is incredibly fashionable, and it’s also perfect for gifting. The quality is top-notch, designed to last through intense workouts without sacrificing comfort or style.
7. Versatility is Key: While Vuori is known for their workout clothes, I was thrilled to find how versatile their pieces are. So much so that they’re my go-to for both fitness and casual wear.
8. Built to Last: The fabrics are designed to withstand regular wear and tear, maintaining their shape and performance over time, even with frequent use. These clothes are built to last — I’m not kidding!
9. Superior Fit for All Body Types: Vuori pieces fit incredibly well, regardless of body type. They offer a wide range of sizes — including standard and extended sizes. The stretchy, flexible fabrics ensure a comfortable fit without compromising on performance.
Whether you’re tall, short, curvy, or lean, Vuori clothes just seem to fit right.
10. Vuori’s Mission and Community: Vuori isn’t merely a brand; it’s a lifestyle. Their mission is to inspire people to live healthier, more active lives, and that’s reflected in everything they do — from their gear to their partnerships and community initiatives.
Following Vuori on social media provides an inside look into their brand ethos, which makes me feel more connected to the products and proud to support their mission.
In short, Vuori is more than worth it. Built to endure, reasonably priced, comfy yet sophisticated, all of my Vuori pieces make me feel confident no matter where I am. They’re now a permanent part of my wardrobe. I only wish I’d known about them sooner!
