The 14 best Lululemon dupes to shop for, according to social media and customer reviews

There’s no denying that humans are obsessed with Lululemon. The brand is known for its buttery soft fabrics, flattering fits and durable quality. While athleisure products are incredibly cute and comfortable, they can be very hard to come by – they often sell out in many colors and sizes, and even when parts are in stock, they’re expensive. Luckily for us, there are a variety of Lululemon dupes that look and feel almost identical for a fraction of the price.

To help you find the best lookalikes available, we scoured customer reviews and social media feeds to find out which affordable dupes are actually worth buying. Many have side-by-side comparisons showing how similar the items are to their more expensive counterparts. Some even have the seal of approval from former Lululemon employees, who say even they can’t tell the difference between the products. Read on to shop all 14 of Lululemon’s best dupes of some of the brand’s most popular tracks.

Best Align Leggings Dupe

The Lululemon Align Leggings are arguably the brand’s most popular product, but according to TikTok user @shelby.sherwood, this pair of Crz Yoga Leggings are almost identical! In her video, which has garnered over 84,000 likes, she puts the two leggings side by side to show how similar they look. The Crz yoga leggings appear to have the same fabric, stitching, and fit. They are also available in 32 different colours, in sizes from XXS to XXL and in two inseam lengths. And you can buy three pairs for the price of one of the Lululemons.

Best Scuba Half Zip Dupe

According to @snipestwins on TikTok, you don’t have to spend $118 to get a cute and comfy half-zip hoodie. The two twins stood side by side, one wearing the Lululemon Scuba Half-Zip Hoodie and the other wearing the cheaper Ododos Dupe, and honestly we can’t tell which is which! The soft and stretchy Ododos sweatshirt has a spacious hood, a spacious kangaroo pocket for your essentials and is available in nine versatile colors.

Best Align Jogger dupe

TikToker @arianavitale has worked at Lululemon for over two and a half years and put together this viral video of the best lookalikes and this pair of joggers from The Gym People are their picks for best Align Jogger Dupe.

The material is so high quality! I even prefer these to my Lululemons,” said one.

Best Align Shorts Dupe

Love the Lululemon Align Shorts but don’t want to spend $64 or more on them, look no further than this nearly identical Crz Yoga pair.

The Crz Yoga Shorts come in 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10 inch options and a whopping 45 different colors.

Best Swiftly Tech Long-Sleeve Dupe

According to @arianavitale, this MathCat compression shirt is an “amazing” dupe for the Lululemon Swiftly Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt. The training top is made from a soft and lightweight nylon/elastane blend and is both stretchy and moisture-wicking. The seamless design eliminates chafing, while the thumb hole keeps the sleeves from lifting during exercise, which is especially helpful for outdoor workouts. “I was initially skeptical but this is literally the Lulu dupe for a long sleeve shirt. It has the same material, the thumb holes, it’s super comfortable, warm and stretchy,” gushed one shopper.

Best Pace Rival Rock Dupe

TikTok user @livinglucki posted a video describing why this Husnaianna skirt is her favorite Amazon purchase. “It’s just like the Lulu skirt with the pleats in the back and the quality is fantastic,” she said. Even better, it’s a fraction of the price at just $27 compared to the $78 for the Lululemon Pace Rival Mid-Rise Skirt. Both have a zipped pocket at the back to hold your phone and built-in shorts underneath. The Husnaianna skort is available in 27 different colors and in sizes 2 to 14.

Best Align Tank Dupe

They’re so comfortable, flattering and versatile,” wrote one reviewer. “Such great quality for the price. Lulu is looking for less. I have these in multiple colors and will be buying more in the future!”

Best Track That Shorts Dupe

If you’re looking for athletic shorts that look like the Lululemon Track That shorts but offer a little more protection in the back, TikTok user @jesshelmerrr recommends these bmjl running shorts. They look “so alike, it’s not even funny,” she said in a video of her trying on both pairs back-to-back. The quick-drying shorts have a flattering, high-waisted design and a tulip-shaped hem that make them super easy to move in. And the best thing is they have pockets!

Best Dupe of Flow Y Bra

Since sports bras are usually worn under other clothing, it’s doubtful you’d want to spend a ton of money on one. Luckily, TikTok user @kelseykooima found an option that looks and feels just like the Lululemon Flow Y-Bra, but for a lot less. “You all know I love my Lululemon, but I also love saving myself some money,” she wrote in the video’s caption. “I found a really good dupe for the Lululemon Flow Y Bra – less than half the price and on Amazon Prime!” The Crz Yoga Bra looks the same, is made from buttery soft material and comes with removable pads.

Best Wunderlust Bag Dupe

If you’ve ever tried to snag the Lululemon Wunderlust fanny pack, you’ve probably noticed that it sells out all the time. But Amazon has a nearly identical bag – the Zorfin Belt Bag, and it’s less than half the price! It has an adjustable nylon strap attached to a nylon bag that you can wear around your waist or comfortably crossbody across your chest. Thousands of buyers have given it a five-star rating. One even wrote: “I gave a few of these away for Christmas and everyone loved them. I have a Lululemon bum bag to compare myself to and this dupe from Amazon is just as nice.”

Best Power Pivot Tank Dupe

Lululemon buyers love the Power Pivot Tank because it’s soft, smooth, flattering, and can be worn two ways. The front has a high scoop neckline, but if you turn it around you can wear it as a V-neck top. But if you don’t want to spend $30-$44 on a tank, you’re in luck TikToker @malmarsh found the identical scammer in this Sobrish option, saying there’s “literally no difference between the two!” And the cheaper alternative can be yours for as little as $15.

Best energy bra dupe

Similar to the Lululemon Energy Bra, this strappy workout essential from Crz Yoga offers lightweight support that’s ideal for low-impact workouts. They’re both seamless, soft and breathable, and have criss-cross straps at the back that add a fun twist to the overall simple design. “It’s just like the sports bra I got from Lululemon. I took the medium because I think it runs small. I referred to the size chart. The color is great and it fits great. I’m telling you, it’s like the exact same sports bra,” gushed Shopper.

Best Define Jacket Dupe

Engineered for movement, the Lululemon Define Jacket has a slim-fitting silhouette that tucks in the middle to accentuate your shape. And tons of Amazon shoppers say this Queenieke jacket does exactly the same thing for a lot less. It has thumbholes to keep sleeves in place, pockets for essentials, and sweat-wicking, ultra-soft four-way stretch fabric. “I am very happy with this lightweight jacket and have bought 3. The quality is great and looks like it will wear well. It’s very similar to Lululemon, but better. I’ll probably buy one in each color,” wrote one five-star reviewer.

Best Align V-Waist Legging Dupe

Just like the Align V-Waist Leggings, the criss-cross style of these Ododos bottoms hugs the narrowest part of your waist, and the wide band doesn’t pull down all day. Reviewers also state that they’re absolutely knee-high (yes, even the lighter shades) and that they don’t pill between the thighs. One of more than 6,200 Five Star fans shared that they made her say “Bye Lulu!” She writes: “I struggle with cellulite (who doesn’t?) but damn it! No cellulite showing through these pants…$25 for these or over $100 for Lulu. I will choose this one!”
