Koral's technical knits are finished with glossy coatings, sheer mesh panels and contrast seaming, mostly in black and metallic tones.
Compression leggings, bras, tanks and jackets are designed by Ilana Kugel to read as streetwear once you leave the workout.
Leggings run roughly $98-$175 and bras $70-$135, sold direct online and through boutiques and multibrand retailers.
Overall fit
runs small
Koral's technical knits are cut small and highly compressive, so pieces feel noticeably tighter than mainstream activewear at the same nominal size, with the shiny coated fabrics offering less give than plain jersey.
Tip: Most shoppers do best taking their usual size for a true compressive feel, but size up one if you are between sizes, have athletic thighs, or want less squeeze.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trousers & pants | runs small | second-skin compression legging with high-rise waistband and sculpting seams | Take your usual size for the intended compressive fit, but size up if you want a moderate squeeze or have muscular legs. |
| Jackets | slightly small | slim, tracksuit-style shells cut close through the shoulder and sleeve | Consider one size up if you plan to layer over a bra top plus a long-sleeve. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs small | fitted tanks and tees, often cropped or body-skimming rather than boxy | Size up if you prefer coverage at the waist or a looser drape over the bust. |
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly small | fitted to lightly relaxed performance knit rather than a heavy streetwear cut | Size up if you want the oversized hoodie look, as the standard cut is closer to the body. |

Koral is a Los Angeles activewear label founded in 2014 by Brazilian-born designer Ilana Kugel with Marcelo Kugel. It makes compression leggings, sports bras, tanks and jackets from technical performance knits, known for high-shine coated finishes, sheer mesh panels, contrast seaming and a mostly black-and-metallic palette. Kugel positions the line as studio-to-street rather than gym-only. Product sells direct online and through boutiques and multibrand retailers, with leggings typically $98-$175 and bras $70-$135. The company raised a $1.5 million credit facility from Assembled Brands in 2020 and remains independently run.
