The Alo Yoga 7/8 High-Waist Airbrush Legging is a smoothing, medium-compression legging with a sleek finish. It is 87% nylon and 13% elastane, sits at a high waist, and has flat-locked seams with no side seams. Alo lists it at $118 in sizes XXS-XL, with no pockets. It looks polished enough for the studio and the street, but you pay a premium for the brand and the size range stops at XL.

Fit and sizing
The page data lists sizes XXS through XL, and the brand says the legging is true to size and designed with medium compression for a smoothing, sculpting fit. Inseam is 24" in XXS to S and 24.5" in M to XL, which gives a 7/8 length that sits above the ankle. If you are tall, a 7/8 may end higher than you want. If you are above XL, this is not an option, and the Athleta Elation goes to 3X.
Fabric and feel
Airbrush is Alo's signature performance fabric, at 87% nylon and 13% elastane. The page describes it as smoothing and sculpting, with flat-locked seams for comfort. Owners often describe it as smooth and slightly firm rather than buttery. The page makes no opacity claim; reviewers commonly report good coverage in black and more variation in light colors.
How it performs for yoga and training
The Airbrush is a studio-to-street legging. The page tags it for Pilates, training, yoga and running. With no pockets, you will need another way to carry a phone. It has more hold than an Align, but less than the Airlift. If you want more compression, see the Alo Airlift or the Airlift Strength Extreme.
Price and value
List price is $118. That is more than most other leggings in this group, for a sleek finish and a recognizable brand. If you are comparing it to a similar smooth feel, the Vuori Daily is $98 and offers short, regular and long lengths. See Alo Yoga and our Alo vs Lululemon comparison for the wider picture.
Alternatives
For a softer feel at a similar price, the Lululemon Align is the usual comparison. For a budget option, the CRZ Yoga Butterluxe is about $32. Use the leggings finder to narrow down.
Who should skip it
Skip the Airbrush if you need pockets, sizes above XL, or a lower price. Also skip it if you want a buttery, loose feel instead of smoothing.

The verdict
A sleek, smoothing 7/8 legging for studio and everyday wear. It is good-looking but expensive, and it lacks pockets and extended sizes. Buy it if you like a firm, polished feel and the Alo look; skip it if you want pockets, a softer feel or better value.
