What to know about Outdoor Voices
Recreation, not performance training
The "Doing Things" line is built for casual movement — leggings, shorts, bras, warm-ups and the Exercise Dress in technical fabric rather than competitive gear.
Color-blocking is the signature
Pieces are recognizable by blocked panels and muted palettes across a minimal range, which is what the shorts and gymwear are best known for.
Rebuilt after a 2024 reset
All 15 stores closed in March 2024 and the brand went online-only before being acquired; founder Ty Haney returned in July 2025 with a new logo and bolder range.
How Outdoor Voices fits
Overall fit
mixed
Most shoppers find Outdoor Voices roughly true to size, but reviews repeatedly note that fit varies by style — soft, relaxed tops and warm-ups run easy or slightly generous while the compressive leggings, bras and shorts feel snug and closer to the body.
Tip: Order your usual size in tops and warm-ups, but check style-specific notes on bottoms since compressive pieces can feel a size tighter than the softer, relaxed ones.

| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed warm-up cut with room for layering; some styles read as intentionally oversized | Stick with your usual size unless you prefer a close fit, in which case size down one. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | relaxed jogger and warm-up shapes alongside more fitted technical legging-style bottoms | Buy your usual waist size and choose the inseam carefully, as the technical bottoms can read long. |
| Jackets | slightly large | easy, roomy shells and warm-up layers cut to go over other pieces | Your normal size should layer comfortably; size down if you want a cleaner standalone fit. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | relaxed, softly boxy through the chest and waist rather than fitted | Take your normal size for the intended easy fit, or size down if you want a trimmer athletic silhouette. |
