I've ordered a ton of things from Popflex! I'm not much of an expert, but will say there have been pros and cons. Pros: + Designs are usually thoughtful (pockets, warmth, etc) + Quality is often nice in regards to stitching, little details & embellishments, etc + Leggings so far have been squatproof Cons: - Pockets are often too small to carry a full size phone - Sports bras do not work well for DD+ - Material choice is hit or miss, the brunch sweatshirt for example fades, attracts stains even from sneezing, and pills - None of the clothes are designed with curvy bodies in mind; the leggings work best on column bodies, the hems of tops/dresses are never longer in the back for coverage, the proportions do not seem to change as sizing goes up (ex. extra space where fat would naturally be or extra material for "chub rub"), etc I really love some of Popflex stuff, but for the higher price point (and lack of sales) I do expect to not be disappointed as often as I have been.

@@Talley.I believe you and it was good information since I've been interested in the brand. However, I remember Cassey doing a KZfaq short on how she altered the circle shirt to be longer in the back. Not sure if that helps at all. I love the thought put into the designs, and it's a shame that the pockets aren't big enough. She had videos saying you can fit a whole 32oz water bottle in them, which nobody would do, and it would stretch them out, but I think she was just trying to show off the pocket size.

The best leggings I've ever had are from a brand called Mondetta. I'd never heard of it, but they were £2 in a charity shop and the colours were nice, so I bought them. I've been wearing them at least weekly for over 2 years now and they still look new. I was surprised to find that Mondetta is a cheap brand in the US/Canada (I'm English) and their clothes are sold at supermarkets. I presumed they must have been a premium brand!

The best leggings I've ever owned were $14 from walmart. Never pilled, breathed well, not see-through, and I went rock-climbing in them multiple times. Also mostly polyester but they were great. 2 years later, still in good condition, just need new ties since mine fell out in the wash.

thank you, i use your tips a lot while thrifting so i can find high quality pieces! you’ve convinced me to replace everything with natural fibers and to look at seams, buttons, etc before purchasing. i ignore brands more too, and just focus on construction. it’s amazing how some pieces that were originally expensive turn out to be crap.

Reminds me of Armani. Back in the day, i could walk in and see materials like imported Alpaca wool and cashmere. Now it's all polyester. I'm a polyester ho for my gym and hiking wear, but not for my nice clothes. Thank you for calling them out!! Edit: and no, I was not in Armani Exchange. I double checked after seeing those materials.

True.. I have been buying from alo for years on and off. A lot of their items have changed over time 😢Part of the reason I do make purchases is because I am a licensed yoga instructor, and they do give a discount if you can prove this. Otherwise, I think most of their items are extremely overpriced, and as you mentioned… So many items pill terribly! You are definitely paying for the name half the time. However, I really do enjoy their alo soft leggings, their yoga mats, and many of their sports bras… although I did recently purchase the muse bra and was incredibly disappointed. Thank you for your channel! New subscriber here! ❤

@christinareynolds8179 3 ай бұрын

I am a thrift store worker and I knew brands around 7 years ago, but since I quit modern fashion, I have forgotten. I mostly price on quality and condition. I had no idea alo was a “good” brand. Don’t buy it unless you can find for five dollars used.

@dr.zuzykitsune 2 ай бұрын

I only ordered from them one time and I’ve decided it’s not worth it I got - 2 sport bras - lemme just say that I get sport bras to hold things in place during movements and it did not do that job at all!!! - leggings - looked cute and they’re durable, but were so itchy and imagine sweating in them when they’re already itchy - hoodie - kinda cute but didn’t keep me warm at all, it was the velvet cropped hoodie and it feels like a style hoodie rather than a hoodie to keep me warm (and I don’t wears hoodies as a look often, so it’s sitting in my closet barely used) They didn’t pill but the material wasn’t natural and I was lenient because I just assumed all athletic clothes are made from synthetic fiber but I found better options at similar or cheaper prices, so I’m sticking to those from now on and not wasting any money on Alo. Like hollister has really good leggings made of 95% cotton and I prefer those for my workouts over alo, and they’re half the price.

I got some joggers from alo 2 years ago, I love them so much and still wear them all the time so I wanted to pick up another pair. but the new ones pilled and are such bad quality! So watch out, the decent stuff of today might end up bad next season when they cut more corners. Now I don't trust the brand at all anymore.

Я обычно проверяю это сначала трогая рукой. Если нет ощущения, что я завернулась в недышащий целофановый пакет, то беру вещь на примерку. Надевая на себя немножко покручусь, также пытаясь понять, дышит ли кожа, потею ли я в этой вещи или нет. Таким образом купила несколько очень приятных к носке вещей из полиэстера. Летние вещи в которых даже прохладней в жару, чем в натуральных тканях, и джемпер на зиму - тоненький, лёгенький, но очень тёплый, дышащий и отлично переносит стирку.

@Diana-zn2sl 4 ай бұрын

Ещё я смотрю, чтобы ткани для летней одежды, при прикосновении к ним, ощущались прохладными. А ткани для зимней одежды, наоборот, при прикосновении к ним, сразу ощущались теплыми.

@southworth102 4 ай бұрын

I love a lot of their styles, but as a working class girly I mostly buy their stuff on sale/clearance. Most of the skirts and dresses have linings. Their cotton jumpsuits/rompers are fantastic loungewear. I would steer clear of their shiny polyester dresses. They are beautiful but wrinkle SO EASILY. Luckily they have a pretty good return policy. Also, beware of their online listings. They will list things as “wool pea coat” or “leather bag” but if you look at the composition it’ll be all synthetic. They justify it by saying it’s in the style of a pea coat or it’s “faux wool”
