Behind the Design, Ep. 66: Cloud II™ Grounded

Root to Rise

We know how much Vitality girlies love working hard. You’re all about lifting heavy, pouring sweat, and crushing goals. But sometimes—let’s face it—you need to hit the reset button. To recenter, refocus, and reconnect. To get grounded.

Cloud II™ Grounded is all about finding your flow. With new Cloud II activewear styles and cotton-based lifestyle looks, its rich, earthy tones and sun-washed aesthetic are rooted and real. 


Cloud II
 Grounded brings back the washed look that you guys fell in love with in our Pure Glow collection. This treatment gives a natural, sun-faded aesthetic to the fabric and an even softer handfeel than our traditional Cloud II colorways.

To elevate the look even more, we’ve added design flourishes like contrast stitching and merrow edge details.

Grounded includes four new Cloud II styles: the Cloud II™ Core Low Bra, Cloud II™ Outline Keyhole Tank, Cloud II™ Outline Pant, and Cloud II™ Outline Volley Short, each available in two earthy colorways, Carbon Washed (a deep cool gray with hazelnut contrast stitching) and Avocado Washed (a warm green with poppy-red contrast stitching), that can be styled as a monochromatic set or paired for an effortlessly styled look.

The Cloud II™ Outline Pant and Volley Short take the classic Cloud II bottoms you know and love and refresh the look with a deliciously soft washed fabric treatment, contrast stitching, and hems with beautiful merrowed edges. And of course, both still feature our Signature Glute Contour Seam®, high-rise shaping waistband, and no-front-seam design—all the Cloud II hallmarks, now with a softer handmade feel. 

The Cloud II™ Core Low Bra is a throwback style that long-time Vitality fans will recognize. It features a scoop neck, removable bust pads, and a racerback silhouette with contrast stitching on the side seams. 

The Cloud II™ Outline Keyhole Tank also features contrast stitching along the neck and hem, an adjustable drawstring neck strap, built-in bralette, and full-length coverage, both perfectly fitted to account for the washed fabric’s naturally lower compression level.

To round out your Grounded look, the collection includes new styles from two of our top-rated lifestyle lines. The Vitality EssenceWeekend Pant is a wide-leg, pull-on with a flattering cut that can be worn high-rise or low-rise with a folded-over waist.

The Vitality Basis® Scoop Tee is an elevated cotton-based everyday tee. Both are available in Hazelnut and Poppy, pairing back to the contrast colors in the collection’s Cloud II styles.

Cloud II Grounded also brings back new looks for some of our classic men’s styles, the universally flattering Vitality Vital® Men’s Tee returns in new Brindle, Carbon, and Nocturne colorways.

And the Vitality Prime® Train Short debuts in a new, shorter, 5" inseam across Avocado, Carbon, and Woodgrain.

Cloud II Grounded drops Thursday, June 25 at 10am MT / 12pm ET. But text subscribers and Shop Vitality app users will get Early Access to the collection starting at 9:30am MT / 11:30am ET.
