Attention Alo fanatics! The yoga brand's biggest sale of the year, the Aloversary Sale, is on now. During the deals event, Alo is offering 30% off sitewide. That means when you shop Alo Yoga today, you can save big on yoga pants, leggings, workout tops, jackets, Alo beauty and skin favorites and so much more.

The Aloversary Sale ends tonight at midnight, so if you're looking to snag a deal on top-rated yoga gear, the time is now. Tap the button below to head directly to the sale.

Not sure what to buy? Here are a few of my favorite Alo Yoga finds. The brand releases trendy pieces, but I still find myself reaching for them almost daily. Their standard length is ideal for me (at 5 foot 10 inches), but they also have many 7/8 length styles that are perfect for petite gals.

The Alo Soft Sculpt long sleeve, one of my favorites, is included in the Aloversary sale. It has a flattering corset-style fit, while still being totally soft and comfortable. Its built-in bra with pads is super convenient. This long-sleeve top is so easy to pop on with sweatpants and I can't recommend it enough.

Shop this Soft Sculpt top and the full sale below.

Alo Soft Sculpt long sleeve, $61 (reduced from $88)

These flare leggings with a split front frankly make your butt look great. They have a super high-waisted fit that pairs well with cropped tops. Find them in a 7/8 length as well. Choose from seven colors. And best of all, they're on sale now as part of the Aloversary sale.

Alo is my go-to for fashion-forward athleisure. Looking for even more athleticwear recs? As a shopping writer, I've tried a ton of brands. These are some of my favorite brands and most-loved pieces that they sell.

Lululemon remains worth the hype. The Align line is my favorite. Its uber-soft fabric is often imitated but never duplicated. Lululemon's classic pants length fits me perfectly, but they also offer lots of 25-inch styles for shorter legs.

In a world full of tank tops with built-in bras that make you look flat as a board, the Lululemond Align tank would never. It lifts and contours for the most flattering fit. I skip it on days when comfort is my only concern, as it has a bit more of a compressed fit, but I always feel confident when I put one of these on. Find this essential tank in a ton of colors.

Align tank top, $68

I have worn the same pair of these leggings approximately once a week for the past five years, and they are still going strong. If that isn't a legging world record, I don't know what is. In terms of comfort and a flattering fit, the Lululemon Aligns still can't be beat. Any time I see them on a friend or a stranger on the street, I marvel at how they just seem to flatter everyone and every body type. They may be the smartest $98 you ever spend.

Align high-rise pant, $98

L*Space's activewear sets are never boring and always flattering. The pieces I own simply feel high-end, and I love the attention to detail the brand brings. L*Space activewear tends to be a compliment-magnet, as not everyone and their mom owns these pieces already, unlike many bigger brands at the same price point.

I've received a record amount of compliments on this brown set with a cinched top and drawstring-style legging from L*Space. The top doesn't have bra cups, which I was apprehensive about at first, but it actually offers a supportive and flattering fit. It has a low back that shows off all your hard work at the gym. The leggings are long enough for me, and they're made of a high-end looking ribbed fabric. The drawcord detail is fun, too.

Soren top, $79

Turner legging, $99

Aerie is one of the most affordable places to find leggings that come in different lengths. They've been my budget go-to since high school and still impress me to this day.

These are some of my most-worn leggings at the moment. They're incredibly comfortable -- they never ride up or pinch. And with a ruched front that dips, they make your waist look tiny. Find these flare leggings in short, standard and long lengths. (I go for the long.) Right now, they're available in six colors and on sale for only $30. There's likely no better time to buy.

Offline by Aerie Real Me high-waisted ruched flare legging, $30 (reduced from $60)

When it comes to joggers, Cozy Earth passes my length test. Plus, the brand name couldn't be more fitting -- the fabric Cozy Earth uses is as soft and comfortable as it gets. Don't just take my word for it: Cozy Earth's bamboo joggers are one of Oprah's Favorite Things.

Wearing this set together is a bit too matchy-matchy for me, so I wear the pullover crew to sleep in and the high-waisted joggers with a cropped top out and about. The joggers come in standard and tall lengths. These pieces are excellent to travel in, as they don't look sloppy but are as comfortable as can be.

Ultra-soft bamboo pullover crew, $72 (reduced from $120)

Bamboo joggers, $124 (reduced from $155)

If you want a taste for Lulumeon without the Lululemon price tag, check out Amazon bestselling brand Colorfulkoala. It's a CBS Essentials bestseller too, with its Lululemon lookalike styles. Colorfulkoala is one of the most affordable brands that offers yoga pants in longer lengths.

No, the Colorfulkoala pieces are not identical to Lululemon, as their price tag would imply. But for the cost, they're notably flattering and offer a similar look. These tanks are super comfortable and run a bit longer than many cropped styles, if you're into that. They do need to be paired with a sports bra (there isn't one built in), but you can't beat their price. Find them in 20 colors.

Summer tank top, $22

These yoga pants are a dupe for the Lululemon Aligns and as a result, are actually long enough for me, which is uncommon among more affordable brands. For a shorter fit, check out the 7/8 length. No, these don't offer the same mindblowing fit and quality as the Lululemon Aligns, but they make their best attempt at it, which is pretty good to me.

Buttery soft high-waisted yoga pants, $23
