Let's be totally honest: Lululemon makes some pretty amazing activewear. Their leggings have a pretty strong fan base, and now they're even making their own shoes — and we're huge fans. The one downside? A hefty price tag.
But you don't need to pay Lululemon prices for their stylish, functional designs. Thanks to social media, now more than ever, the world of Amazon Lululemon dupes is alive and well. So, save your wallet and shop some of your favorite styles for a fraction of the cost.
We chatted with strength coach and Amazon activewear fan Carolina Araujo, CPT. With her guidance, we chose the best Lululemon dupes on Amazon based on the following criteria:
We make deliberate choices about the language we use when it comes to gender. While more brands now carry gender-neutral workout clothes, you’ll still typically see clothing brands market their products to men or women.
The main difference between most women's and men's clothing is the fit: Men's versions tend to be longer in length and roomier due to physical differences. However, fabrics, quality and comfort should be the same between gender-labeled pairs. We encourage everyone to purchase the products that feel right for them.
The nylon and spandex combination of these leggings is quick-drying and perfect for any kind of workout, including yoga and strength training, according to Araujo. Plus, these come in a wide variety of colors, just like the OG version — that's probably why they're among the best Lululemon leggings dupes.
Plus, they have a hidden waistband pocket that's perfect to stash a credit card or key.

People love Lululemon's Align products because they feel so weightless, Araujo says. And that's definitely true for these Lululemon jogger dupes, too. These joggers are lightweight and have the same high-rise, snug waistband, so you don't have to worry about distractions during your workout.
"I like the cuffed leg at the bottom," she says. "When I'm walking through the street or doing a stair workout, I'm usually moving pretty fast, so the slim fit and cuff prevents my pants from catching on my sneakers."

Although this jacket is designed for running, you can throw it on for a long walk or day of running errands, too.
"I like the thumbholes a lot," Araujo says. "And the sleeves even fold over for when it gets super cold out."
But for those sweatier sessions, this jacket also has mesh panels on the back for some extra ventilation.

Although cotton isn't usually the best fabric for exercise (it tends to absorb moisture), this shirt blends a special type of cotton (pima) with spandex for a quick-drying result. The fabric is ultra-soft and stretchy for when you press weights overhead or stretch your upper body.
The fabric is also snag-resistant, which is ideal for those lifting weights or playing sports which require extra durability.

This slim-fit long sleeve top is excellent for yoga, running or just a breezy walk in the park. And thanks to the seamless design, you don't have to worry about unwanted chafing under your arms or on your sides.
Pro tip: The company recommends you size up if you're between sizes. Before you buy, make sure to consult the size chart.
