It’s really curious to me that suddenly letsrun is teeming with women singing the praises of hoodies you can’t live without or high-quality jog bras that were worth every penny. Not saying it’s impossible — just that it strains credibility.
I see the brand alo all around me, which is certainly a competitor in selling pricey workout gear. alo seems to have traction as a brand. (positioned as yoga brand, if I am not mistaken.)
i am even surprised to see lululemon being worn by men. (Not that often but I am surprised that ANY men are wearing it.)
But no, I do not see oiselle clothing on regular people. The women who run in my neighborhood are exactly the right demographic — they just never seem to be wearing oiselle for whatever reason.
It could be regional fads as well. I don’t see alo at all in my area and vuori is very rare, but Lululemon and Athleta are very popular athleisure. I don’t see people wearing Oiselle as casual wear but do see other runners on trails in it.
A lot of my friend group wears Oiselle gear, but initially bought it for its workout functionality than athleisure. I have some pieces I like as well although it’s not the only brand I wear. The main things that stand out for on my Oiselle pieces - pockets and flexibility. These things have become more important since becoming a parent. Their shorts have tons of pockets and many zippers…perfect for running and going straight into toddler parent life. Their tops are very stretchy and I have been able to wear them through most of my pregnancies and some of their sports bras offer more adjustability in sizing (wonderful for pregnancy and nursing).
As fair as the higher number of comments, it may just be that some of the women on here (including myself) get excited and pile on when we see a more female specific topic on here.
Exactly. Someone commented about how they don't know anyone that wears it, so a bunch of us are here like "I wear this!" (I do too), and then OP's like "why are so many people saying they wear this? Like bro you brought it up lol
Because the Athlete Special needs her to do well so he doesn’t have to get a real job.
You mean a real job like you have, which apparently is repeatedly getting banned on a running website for being a little prick? At least when he acts like a clown in his videos he gets paid for it, you, on the other hand...
Why do threads about Allie O always get so many replies?
Well. a lot of American running fans are focused on the super-elites like Athing Mu, Sydney, and Hocker, but there is a second tier of runners that are more "human" and relatable.
Runners in that tier - like Max King, Allie Ostrander, Noah Droddy, CJ Alberston, Natosha Rogers, Craig Engels, etc. - are popular because they aren't perfect, super-humans. They have good races and bad races. They could make national teams but they are not likely to make national teams.
We don't hate them for not being "next level" like the Team USA medalists we sent to Paris. We understand that they bring something else/different to the sport.
p.s. You should not call yourself a "no talent a** clown" because compared to non-runners, you are probably doing great! Don't be so hard on yourself.

Your post is about to get deleted but before it does, I'd like to remind you that eating disorders are real and people truly suffer, careers and talent are wasted, and some people never recover.
So, maybe you were just a dumb troll who was joking, but honestly, you are not funny.
Oiselle is basically Tracksmith for women. High quality, durable clothes But they have a better color and pattern selection than Tracksmith which helps them do well! Good fit for Allie. Now she can add testing all sorts of different shoes to her channel and become a ShoeTuber, which is where the real money in running lies these days.

Tracksmith isn't for men only and has women's clothing. Oiselle is single gender. I can't actually think of any men's only running company. In fact even if they were men's only women would probably buy some of their stuff.

Not to mention the fact that they sell long sleeves and gloves with watch cutouts. I haven’t seen many other brands do this. If someone “doesn’t know anyone who wears Oiselle”, it may be because they don’t have many women runners in their circle or the fact that Oiselle doesn’t typically have large logos on their clothing (minus the bird patterns) so it could be overlooked.
Congrats to Allie. Although I have followed her career over the years, I acknowledge - and I am sure that I am not the only one - that the first time I watched any of her social media content was her recent post with her miniature dachshund, Georgie. Her weiner dog managed a stellar 4:47.and it was good fun to watch the dog run. I hope Allie's new contract stipulates that Georgie has to appear in some more content and put in some race appearance.
Weiner dog content is hot now. Double Olympic mountain biking champ Tom Pidcock's two wiener dogs have their own Instagram page too and they are cute as heck.

Is a handful of replies "teeming"? Maybe it's just that this is the only thread about Oiselle and it appeals to her handful of people here that like their clothing.
It could be regional fads as well. I don’t see alo at all in my area and vuori is very rare, but Lululemon and Athleta are very popular athleisure. I don’t see people wearing Oiselle as casual wear but do see other runners on trails in it.
Wonder if it is also regional by physical stores too? There is no way I would notice what brands people are wearing beyond shoes, but in my area near Stanford I know there are Vuori/Lululemon/Athleta stores.

Most posters here do not really hang out with any women.
Brand emerged in the 2000s. Frankly, I'm surprised it's still around. I don't know anyone who wears it. That said, I'm glad Allie's sponsored and hope to see more of her comeback 2025.
I think this still opens her up for a shoe sponsorship if possible.
Are you talking about Oiselle? Expand your horizons kid. Get out and meet some women.
I know plenty who wear it and I live in a small town.

That is my opinion too.
I work in one of the pricier resort towns of Colorado, and I see plenty of lululemon walking around. I’ve never seen a random person wearing oiselle clothing.
Lululemon is seen as “athleisure” (yoga pants to wear to the grocery store) but maybe oiselle is positioning itself as athletic clothing for female athletes with high disposable income (i.e. maybe too small a target market).
I remember that their clothing had a big gap on wrist area so you could see your GPS watch without pulling up the sleeve. So, that maybe suggests less of an athleisure brand?
Devon Yanko used to be sponsored by oiselle. That’s all i know of the brand.
I was thinking the same thing. I see dozens of people every day, even non-athletic people, wearing Lululemon. I have never seen a single person wearing Oiselle who was not sponsored by Oiselle. Where are they getting the money to sponsor athletes and still turn a profit?

Same thing could be asked about Tracksmith. The contracts aren't large and they don't offer that many. Probably falls under their marketing budget.
