Alo Yoga just released new workout colors that go beyond basic black — these are our favorites

If you’ve ever shown up to a workout feeling mentally scattered or low‑energy, here’s a surprisingly effective reset: change what you wear.

With Alo Yoga’s newest shade lineup, you don’t need to stick to black to feel strong and centered, but you can dress for the workout you want, instead of the one you’re used to.

Beyond looking good, your color choices can help set the tone for how you move — whether you’re stepping into a gym, slipping into a pilates studio, heading out for a cold‑weather walk or settling into a stretch session at home.

Dressing with intention can make your routine feel more aligned with the type of workout you want to have, especially as a new year brings fresh goals and renewed motivation.

If you want to feel focused and streamlined for gym strength sessions, pilates or barre, early‑morning workouts or days you want fewer distractions, think blacks, charcoals, slate greys and deep navy. These shades visually “pull in” your look, helping your outfit disappear so your movement can take center stage. They read clean and minimal in studio settings and tend to pair effortlessly with any existing pieces you own.

If you want a motivation boost for cardio days, dance or cycling classes or other group workouts, choose vivid reds, bold corals, bright blues or energetic oranges that act like an instant wake‑up call. These shades feel lively, upbeat and forward‑moving, and they’re what to grab when you want your outfit to give you a little extra spark. If you’re entering 2026 with ambitious fitness goals or you’re leaning into more high‑intensity routines, these standout brights can help set the tone.

If you want to feel grounded and centered for yoga flows, stretching and mobility or mind‑body classes, think warm greens, soft olives, muted browns, terracotta and other nature‑inspired hues. These tones create a calm, minimal canvas that feels especially at home in studios or quiet workout spaces. Earthy colors also layer beautifully, which make them ideal for transitional seasons or cooler mornings when you’re moving from warm‑up to full movement.

If you want a clean, elevated aesthetic for pilates and barre, sculpt sessions or sunny outdoor workouts when the weather is warmer, go with white, cream, pearl, bone and ivory hues that lend a “fresh start” feeling and pair perfectly with a New‑Year reset. These shades photograph beautifully, read modern and refined and bring a lightness that’s especially nice in bright studios or airy workout spaces.

If you want a softer, more relaxed vibe for walks, gentle or recovery‑focused days or at‑home stretching — and let’s be honest, lounging — lavenders, soft peaches, misty blues and powder periwinkles or pinks feel comforting and unfussy. They’re especially nice for lower‑impact days or moments when you want your workout wardrobe to feel cozy and inviting rather than sharp or intense.

Alo Yoga’s colors offer different moods, stories and energies you can tap into. The key is simply knowing what to reach for, based on where you’re going and how you want to feel.

And while many retailers have already closed their Christmas delivery windows — or will be doing so in the next day or so — Alo Yoga is giving shoppers extra breathing room:

All U.S. orders placed by Dec. 21 are guaranteed to arrive by Christmas with free two‑day shipping.
