I Spent £745 on Vuori’s Winter Bestsellers – My Honest Review
UK winters have a way of exposing your wardrobe. Dark, cold mornings, drizzle that never quite commits, and days that run from a 7 am workout straight into a full shift at my desk. For years, my clothes couldn’t keep up. My gym kit only felt right at the gym, and my cosy layers made me look like I’d given up. I was changing outfits three times a day just to feel comfortable.
What I wanted was fewer pieces that did more: soft enough for slow weekends, warm enough for a cold run, and smart enough that I wasn’t embarrassed bumping into someone I knew.
That’s what led me to Vuori. A friend in my Pilates class kept recommending it, and after one too many winters of making do, I wanted to know whether it lived up to the hype and the price.
I looked at their site, saw a few things I liked, and ended up with a proper winter haul: three pieces for me and three for my partner, who handily ticked off half my Christmas list. All in, I spent £745. Here’s what I got.
What I Got for Me
AllTheFeels™ Legging – £110
I’ll start with what I’ve worn most. These leggings are made from Vuori BlissBlend™, which the brand describes as its lightest and stretchiest performance fabric, and they really do have that next-to-nothing feel. They’re high-rise and fitted, and they move with me through a Pilates class or a frosty 5K run without me tugging at the waistband. I went for the Blue Coast shade, but I’m already eyeing the rich Java brown and deep Hemlock green for winter, or Electric Blue for something brighter on dark mornings. They are also available in multiple other colours, so there’s something for everyone!
Pro tip: the fit is snug, and Vuori suggests sizing down if you’re between sizes. I did, and they’re perfect. Keeping.
Halo Essential Wideleg Pant – £115
These are basically my winter weekend uniform. They’re made from Vuori’s signature DreamKnit™ fabric, and are called the world’s softest performance pants. I’m not about to argue.
They’re slim through the hips with an easy wide leg, a drawcord waist, and slash pockets. They also come in short, regular, and long lengths, which I appreciate as someone who’s always taking trousers up. My pair is Cherry Noir, a lovely deep maroon. There are cosy neutrals like Ecru, Khaki, Sable and Pale Grey Heather too, plus Black Heather if you are not too hung up on colours. I wear them on lounge and recovery days, but they’re polished enough for coffee in town. Keeping.
Canyon Insulated Sporty Jacket – £205
A British winter calls for something that handles drizzle. Vuori pitches the Canyon as a throw-and-go layer, with soft PrimaLoft® insulation and a water-resistant finish. It’s warm without the bulk, and it’s been over my pants for every early walk and errand since it arrived. I chose the washed Cherry Noir to match with my Halo Essential Wideleg Pants, but the creamy Marshmallow and warm French Roast brown would brighten up a grey day. The jacket also comes in Raindrop Grey and classic Black if you want an everyday staple that goes with everything. Keeping.
What I Got For My Partner
Strato Tech Tee – £60
My partner is a creature of habit, so I started simple. Vuori calls this the softest piece of workout apparel on the planet. It has 4-way stretch, wicks moisture, and dries quickly, in a modern athletic fit. It’s rated 4.8 stars across more than 13,000 reviews. He has it in Sea Pine Heather, but it’s easy to build a rotation, with core shades like Navy, Grey, Charcoal, and White, alongside limited-edition colours that change through the season. It’s already his default gym layer. Keeping.
Sunday Performance Jogger – £105
Vuori describes these as a warm-up-to-recovery staple, made from a soft performance stretch knit that wicks moisture. They have a tapered leg, cuffed ankles and secure zip pockets, so his phone stays put on runs to the shops. His are Biscotti Heather. Black and Charcoal Heather are the go-with-everything options, and there are limited-edition shades like Ink Heather and Blue Sea Heather. They’re an athletic slim fit, which is worth knowing if your person likes a looser jogger. Keeping.
Seaside Pullover Hoodie – £150
This is the cosiest thing in the haul. It’s heavyweight, ultra-soft brushed-back fleece with 4-way stretch and a relaxed fit. It’s perfect for post-workout recovery, free weekends, and on-the-go comfort, which is exactly how he’s used it. We went for Light Heather Grey. There are more interesting colours like Evergreen, Dusty Blue, and a very wintry Chocolate Milk also available, and any of them would make a great gift. I’ve already borrowed it twice and might just keep it for myself this time. Keeping.
Final Thoughts
Six pieces, £745, zero returns. Is Vuori worth the price? Definitely. None of the pieces feel like a one-season buy, and everything works all day rather than for a single workout. That’s harder to find than it sounds.
If you’re building a winter wardrobe, or want a gift someone will actually wear, I’d start with the AllTheFeels™ Legging and the Strato Tech Tee. With free express shipping and free returns on all orders, there’s very little risk in finding out for yourself.
