Lulu that’s actually worth it
Non-lulu (personally) preferred alternatives, mostly cheaper than Lulu too
Lulu that’s actually worth it
One of my most worn items I own and is so much more of a practical buy than the half zips with it not being cropped but also still stopping at waist length (pls know I do love the crops and have a ton of them but I get way too cold in them)
Another of my most loved items from my time at Lulu, I regret not buying more when I had the discount but have paid full price after because they’re so worth it
The comfiest tank ever, I own this in so many colors and does not wear like an athletic tank (looks nicer for jean shorts/linen). It is truly the ultimate staple and you will never need any other tank top in your closet
Wundermost Ultra-Soft Nulu Spaghetti-Strap Adjustable Cami | Women's Sleeveless & Tank Tops | lululemon
Same as above but another staple color, SO soft
Wundermost Ultra-Soft Nulu Spaghetti-Strap Adjustable Cami | Women's Sleeveless & Tank Tops | lululemon
Also love this color, slightly different than the above two but I like the option of having something without built in padding to wear too like this one has
lululemon Align™ Scoop Waist-Length Tank Top | Women's Sleeveless & Tank Tops | lululemon
This seems insane until you try them, trust me that you will find only wear these once you own them
The only towel from lulu that’s worth it imo, the grips on it make this thing glued to your mat the entire time you’re using it and I would buy this over and over again instead of the normal mat towels
Yoga Mat Towel with Grip | Men's Work Out Accessories | lululemon
PLEASE stop buying aligns!! Hear me when I say you should be buying the wunder trains to avoid pilling for everyday wear AND you should be sweating in these the first few times you wear them - they are meant to “shape” to you after you buy them (that...
The only define jacket I still wear is my oversized one and my mesh one, unfortunately they don’t really seem to carry much of either but this was another one of my all time favorites because it’s perfect to throw on after a workout if you’re sweatin...
One of the only bras I would ever re-buy from lulu, and I think I own every style they’ve ever made in the past five years
Like a Cloud Spaghetti-Strap Bra *Light Support, A/B Cup | Women's Bras | lululemon
The only other bra I would rebuy from lulu other than the like a cloud bra
Wunder Train Strappy Racer Bra *Light Support, A/B Cup | Women's Bras | lululemon
Non-lulu (personally) preferred alternatives, mostly cheaper than Lulu too
Love these just as much as scubas, but they are a little different with the waist band. Having both though the switch up is kind of nice
Form Knit Mid Rise Straight Pant | Athleta
Same deal, super similar to scubas but the switch up is nice and they are just as comfy
Forever Fleece Wide Leg | Athleta
This bra is like a lulu/aritzia love child with its fit and softness, personally have loved this bra over most of my lulu ones and the sales athleta has make it so much easier to buy without feeling guilty after
Square Neck Bra A-C | Athleta
Own these in like every color, honestly so much more comfy being unlined (since most of lulu’s are lined) plus the closest thing I’ve found similar to the inner glow shorts that Lulu no longer carries :(
Heavyweight Terry Mid Rise 3" Sportie Short | Athleta
So soft + pockets!!
Airy Cotton Terry Shortie | Athleta
A million times more comfy than align pants (and way cheaper)
Dream Drape Mid Rise Pant | Athleta
SO much cheaper than other brands, but also looks just like the Aritzia bras (but just as soft)
Square Neck Bra A-C | Athleta
Essentially the same as the cloud bras, just as soft, but this has adjustable straps on it
BodyMove Scoop Bralette A-C | Athleta
The elation line is a million times more durable than align will ever be, and I’m not kidding. These also look significantly more flattering than any of my lulu shorts like these do with the legs not rolling up all weird. Also bought the pink because...
Elation Ultra High Rise Shortie | Athleta
Softer than align and a million times more durable, have had zero issues with pilling and also a wayyyy better deal
Elation Ultra High Rise 7/8 Legging | Athleta
Throwing these on here because I bought a pair to hit free shipping and now I love them, just as soft as align material but again more durable… also frequently goes on sale for under $20 which is kind of an unbeatable price
The EXACT same as soft stream pants and tbh the drawstring is a lot better on these
Seasoft Mid Rise Straight Pant | Athleta
Same as the pants with better drawstring and literally the exact same as the soft stream shorts
Seasoft Mid Rise 4" Short | Athleta
Significantly more forgiving than any lulu dress I’ve ever tried on
Essential V-Neck Midi Dress | Athleta
Just as good as the lulu tanks, only falls slightly below for me with the racer back style
Transcend Scoop Built-In Bra Tank A-C | Athleta
The other go-to zip up for me that isn’t a scuba
Forever Fleece Full Zip Sweatshirt | Athleta
Another identical soft stream, I live in these at work
Seasoft Rib 1/4 Zip Popover | Athleta
Andddd another soft stream identical
Form Knit Crew Sweatshirt | Athleta
An unmatched essential, these shirts are everything to me
Signature Rib Crop Tee | Athleta
Own a few of these because they’re insanely soft and aritzia has a really good color selection
BUTTER Essential Camisole
Tbh the softness of these jackets do it for me way morn than the define jackets do (unless it is the mesh define jacket)
BUTTER Limit Zip-Up
Honestly not 100% sure about durability yet (haven’t washed mine enough yet) to know for sure about pilling, but I love that they have a 24” inseam as a shorter person
BUTTER Cheeky Hi-Rise 24" Legging
Such a cute switch up for style
BUTTER Volley Sports Bra
Looks nicer, softer, and significantly more flattering than the typical athletic tennis skirts
BUTTER Essential Skort
Love love love these pants, not even sure if Lulu makes something similar but ugh they’re so comfy and don’t look as frumpy as sweatpants while still feeling like sweatpants
Villa Pinstripe Wideleg – Women's Suede Pinstripe Pants – Vuori
So soft and honestly better at sweat absorption than aligns
Vuori AllTheFeels™ Legging – Black High-Rise Leggings – Vuori
The most ideal casual bra ever
Intuition Cotton Sports Bra A-C | Athleta
Square necklines are so hard to come by and this one is so flattering despite my disdain for racer backs I do really love this tank
Good Karma Long Tank
Fun and colorful which is another hard find sometimes, also very on par with the 90’s workout look lol
Trail Angel Shorts
Another super cute switch up from more basic styles
