Lululemon is a celebrity choice, adored among shoppers for its super soft fabrics and stylish designs. From stylish leggings to zip-up jackets and sports bras that double as tank tops, the brand offers comfortable gear for the gym, running errands and many other daily activities.
Luluemon products are built to last, but the brand’s high quality comes at a price. I wouldn’t be surprised if you too were sitting in front of a computer screen asking yourself: Which Lululemon products are actually worth my money?
I did some deep research to find celebrity favorites, polled our buying team, and even tested the leggings in our HUMAN-tested labs. Below is an ultra-comprehensive, no-nonsense list of the absolute best Lululemon pants, tops, jackets, and accessories you can buy right now.

The best lululemon leggings

- Wunder Train High-Rise Tight, $98
- Align High Rise Ribbed Pants, $118
- Flare Pocket High Rise Pants, $128
If you’ve heard of Lululemon, it’s probably because of its leggings. The brand’s yoga pants come in a variety of styles, with new cuts and colors appearing frequently.
We took it upon ourselves to personally test Lululemon’s most popular leggings — and so did we it is not take it easy with them. The pair that earned our top marks were the Align Pocket High Rise Pants. The leggings are made from Lululemon’s proprietary soft and stretchy Nulu fabric, which stays completely secure during exercise — no sagging here. (They also come in a super cute ribbed version!).
For high-intensity activities like HIIT workouts, we loved the compression Wunder Train High-Rise Tight, which hugged us in all the right places.

- Love crew neck t-shirt with rounded hem, $48
- License to Coach Tank Top, $58
- Align Tank Top, $68
- Wundermost Ultra-Soft Nulu Sleeveless High Neck Bodysuit, $39-$49 (originally $68)
- Quick Release Long Sleeve Shirt, $78
- Swiftly Tech Long Sleeve Cropped Shirt 2.0, $78
Lululemon makes athletic tops for all activity levels. PEOPLE shopping writer Alyssa Brascia is a fan of the Align Tank Top’s sweat-wicking, breathable fabric. The V-neck tank top is made of soft, lightweight Nulu compression fabric that gently hugs the body. It is suitable for light activities such as yoga, pilates and walks, and it is so soft that you don’t want to take it off.
For a more intense workout, the License to Train Tank Top is loved by customers for its flattering hem detailing and sweat-wicking stretch fabric. The top does not have a built-in bra, so the sports bra you wear with it will determine your level of support.
For high-intensity exercise, customers say the Envital bra is extremely comfortable and provides great support. The V-neck bra has a cute detail on the back that mirrors the shape of a racing top.

The best Lululemon Bottoms
- Hotty Hot Padded High Rise Pants, $39-$49 (originally $68)
- Align High-Rise Short, $64
- High Waist Pleated Varsity Tennis Skirt, $88
- Scuba Mid-Rise Oversize Jogger, $118
Lululemon may be known for leggings, but some of the PEOPLE Shopping team’s favorite buys are the brand’s other bottoms, including the Hotty Hot High-Rise Shorts that senior editor Erika Reals wears while running. The shorts come in 4-inch and 2.5-inch inseams and have a flattering cinched waist to keep them in place while she trains for races.
Tennis skirts are having a big moment, and Lululemon makes adorable pants that are perfect for playing on the playground (with your favorite shoes!) and for everyday wear. The high pleated Varsity tennis skirt, which looks a lot like the one Brittany Mahomes wore at Wimbledon, has built-in shorts with hidden side pockets, and pleated details add a stylish vibe. It comes in seven cute colors, including classic tennis white.

The best Lululemon jackets and outerwear
- Nulu Define Jacket, $118
- Scuba Oversized Half Zip Hoodie, $118
- Wunder puffer jacket, $298
Nicole Kidman wore the editors’ and customers’ favorite Define Jacket while out for a walk with friend Reese Witherspoon last year. The jacket has a flattering waistline that cinches the midsection and flares out at the side, while the thick fabric flatters the body like a piece of great shapewear.
If you want a warmer coat, I recommend the Wunder Puff Jacket. The cozy puffer coat is tall and ultra plush, and the outer material is so soft to the touch. It hits the top of my hip, so it’s not a cropped jacket, and it also has a button-down hood and pockets that are lined with a flimsy fleece.

Behind the scenes
To create a comprehensive guide to the best Lululmemon leggings, bags, tops, jackets and bottoms, we conducted extensive online research, consulted experienced shopping editors and lab test results, and took a look at Lululemon’s most-worn celebrity pieces.
During testing, we wore 23 different pairs of Lululemon pants during every type of exercise we could think of, including running, high-intensity exercise, yoga, pilates, and, of course, walking. We poured water on the pants to test their ability to absorb sweat and washed them according to instructions to test their durability.
