If you’re shopping for Vuori for the first time, you might be wondering:
Does Vuori run large or small?
As someone who works in activewear manufacturing and fit development at FuKi Gymwear,
I’ve tested their products firsthand — from joggers to leggings — to give you a clear, experience-based answer.
Vuori generally runs true to size, but with a slightly relaxed fit compared to other premium brands like Lululemon or Alo Yoga.
Their joggers and shorts are designed for comfort and movement, not tight compression — so expect a looser, everyday fit.
If you’re between sizes, you can safely size down for a more fitted look.
| Category | Fit Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Men’s | True to size | Relaxed fit around thighs and hips |
| Women’s | Slightly large | More casual, less compressive than Lululemon |
| Joggers | True to size | Soft, stretchy waistband with room in the legs |
| Tops | True to size | Lightweight, flexible, great for layering |
| Leggings | True to size | Medium compression with excellent stretch |
💬 From my experience, Vuori’s sizing philosophy leans toward comfort rather than performance tightness — ideal for daily wear or low-impact workouts.
| Product | Fit Summary | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Joggers (Women) | Soft, high-stretch fabric with relaxed silhouette | Size down if you prefer a tighter fit |
| Sunday Performance Joggers (Men) | Slightly tapered but roomy in thighs | True to size |
| Daily Legging (Women) | Light compression, buttery soft | True to size |
| Vuori Shorts | Stretchy waistband, mid-rise | Size down if between sizes |
| Vuori Hoodies & Tops | Relaxed cut | True to size |
From a manufacturing perspective, Vuori uses 4-way stretch and soft-brushed fabrics, which makes their garments adaptable to multiple body types.
Here’s Vuori’s standard sizing (U.S. format):
| Size | Women (US) | Men (Waist in) |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 0–2 | 28–30 |
| S | 4–6 | 30–32 |
| M | 8–10 | 32–34 |
| L | 12–14 | 34–36 |
| XL | 16 | 36–38 |
🧵 Tip: Vuori fabrics contain a high percentage of elastane,
so even if the fit feels snug at first, it naturally adjusts to your body after a few wears.
| Brand | Fit Tendency | Compression | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vuori | True to size / slightly relaxed | Medium | Size down for fitted feel |
| Lululemon | Runs small | High | Size up if between sizes |
| Alo Yoga | True to size | Medium-high | True to size |
| Athleta | True to size | Medium | True to size |
| FuKi Gymwear (OEM) | Customizable | Customizable | Fit tailored to your brand needs |
🧠 Insight: Vuori sits between Alo Yoga’s comfort and Lululemon’s technical fit,
making it the go-to brand for those who prefer athleisure versatility.
From my fitting tests, Vuori’s elastic waistbands and soft seams make it forgiving and flattering on various body shapes — one reason their joggers have gone viral.
