Lululemon has developed nothing short of a cult following for its exercise gear and it’s not hard to see why: The brand, founded in Vancouver, Canada in 1998, has been consistently churning out athleisure and accessories that are a total treat to wear. From barely-there Nulu fabrics that keep you cool and comfy during vinyasa flows to Everlux materials that wick away sweat in an instant while offering loads of compression for high-impact pursuits, the technical details involved in the manufacturing of each Lululemon garment are nothing short of genius — setting the standard for the athleisure industry at large.
As a certified personal trainer, avid yoga practitioner, runner, weight lifter and barre enthusiast, not a day goes by that I don’t don a piece of Lululemon clothing — whether it’s the Blissfeel running shoes to propel me forward on steep terrain to the Wunder Train leggings that won’t budge even in inversions, Lululemon makes some of the most reliable pieces in my wardrobe. And Lululemon’s trailblazing offerings don’t stop at apparel. A veritable fitness empire, you’ll find everything you need to squeeze out a solid sweat, from Underscored-approved yoga mats to running belts that’ll have you logging miles with ease.
With this many offerings, navigating the Lululemon website can feel quite daunting, so we broke it down into top categories featuring all the best items we’ve ever tested and worn on a daily basis as well as the most popular products that consistently sell out.

If there’s one pant worth investing in at Lululemon, let it be the Groove Nulu Pants. I love them because they have a flattering high waist and flared leg, a buttery soft Nulu fabric and serious four-way stretch for a feeling of invincibility on the mat. In testing, I found these flares to be equally suitable for both athletic pursuits and simply serving a stylish look. A rear drop-in waistband pocket keeps your valuables close and they come in the prettiest earth tones to stay grounded in both your yoga practice and fashion identity.
One of Lululemon’s most popular sweaters is a staple in any influencer’s or “It” girl’s wardrobe. The viral Scuba Half-Zip features a slouchy cropped fit perfect for pairing with your favorite sweats or high-waisted leggings, a quarter zip closure to customize your level of ventilation and a cotton blend fleece fabric that feels heavenly against your skin after a serious sweat sesh or on chilly fall nights. A kangaroo pocket with a hidden phone sleeve will make it practical enough to become your go-to while an elastic zipper pull operates as an impromptu hair tie when kicking your run into high gear. How fun!
With its slick, sweat-wicking and compressive material, it’s no wonder we refuse to work out in anything but the Fast & Free tights or travel abroad without them. In testing, I found them to adjust perfectly to any climate, offering a cooling sensation in tropical locales and ample comfort when the A/C is cranked all the way up. Their generous pockets make them super convenient for on-the-go and you’ll love their infinite elastic waistband that prevents them from ever riding down while strength training or running.
Lululemon is our go-to for all things pickleball, the unofficial-official sport of the year. For a chic and preppy look on and off the court, we’re all over this pleated skirt with convenient hidden drop-in pockets within its 3-inch liner and silicone grippers that keep said hidden shorts in place (which Rachel Dennis, our editorial coordinator, raved about in testing). It’s quick-drying, lightweight and totally flirty and fun for your travels or court sport of choice.

Preppy polos are having a moment. Unlike your typical stuffy option fit for the boardroom, this one’s got sweat-wicking fabric making it ideal for everything from the golf course to the dance floor. Odor-fighting technology keeps you both looking and smelling fresh. It’s got a slim fit for comfort and style and it’s available in numerous colors from Nautical Navy to Heathered Blackened Pine.
Presenting: your everyday pant fit for nearly every occasion, whether laid-back or more upscale. The ABC Classics are loaded with advanced specs that make them worth the spend, from hidden zip pockets to secure your valuables to reflective details for extra visibility in low-light settings. Four-way stretch with superior shape retention ensures they feel as great as the day you got them. Because they’re wrinkle-proof, they’re a solid option for packing in your carry-on. Multiple inseam lengths ensure the perfect fit that won’t require a trip to the tailor.
Whether you’re looking to fly down the track or simply look super fly, Lululemon’s bestselling short is made with an improved mesh liner for extra support, shell pockets to stash your stuff and a roomier fit for ample range of motion no matter your sport. Run and train to your heart’s content in its lightweight quick-drying fabric in your choice of inseam for customized coverage.
Lululemon accessories
A solid yoga mat is quite literally the foundation of any successful yoga practice. I highly recommend Lululemon’s bestselling option (which also claims our spot for best overall yoga mat) for its relatively light weight given its thick level of cushioning and its next-level grip to keep you feeling supported and stable during advanced balance poses. Magically, its polyurethane and rubber construction keeps it bone dry even when you’re dripping sweat.
If you’re still lodging your phone, keys and cards into your sports bra during runs, please know you are better than that and deserve so much more. That’s where Lululemon’s popular running belt comes in. It’s a low-bulk, fuss-free strategy for keeping your valuables close to the vest without them bouncing around in a distracting way. In testing, we found its two small drop-in pockets and zippered phone pouch a smart option for shorter, more low-stakes runs.
Now this is an accessory we’d die for as a stocking stuffer or a just-because gift. As a double wristlet, you’ve got two zippered detachable pockets to stash (and organize) your valuables. Made of water-repellent fabric, it’ll stand up swimmingly to aggressive daily use. Use one of the compartments as a standalone wallet for even more creative functionality.
The last thing you want to toss into your gym bag is a bulky bath towel that gets heavy (and mildewy) after a single use. Made of lightweight and highly absorbent microfiber, it’s the perfect towel for drying off after a post-sweat shower or laying down on your yoga mat during a vigorous Bikram session. Life hack: Spritz a light layer of water over your mat so it stays put when you move and groove through your sun salutations.
Lululemon shoes
I tested the first iteration of the Blissfeel running shoes and couldn’t stop wearing them for two years straight, so we can only imagine just how much you’ll rely on the new and improved model. Made with an anatomically molded midfoot for a customized feel and spring-forward tuned foam cushioning, the Blissfeels carry you further with less effort and fatigue.
By incorporating data from millions of foot scans of the female foot, Lululemon developed a sneaker that moves with — as opposed to against — you while you run and train. When testing the first model of the Chargefeels, I noticed they felt like two mattresses underfoot with their dual-density foam midsole cushioned enough for cardio and stable enough for strength training. Grab it in the classic low-top version for a breath of fresh air at your extremities or the mid-top version for extra ankle support.
If you’re forever in search for the perfect white sneaker, your quest ends with the cushioned Cityverse. These incredibly lightweight sneakers feature a trendy mixed material upper, adding a dash of visual interest to your everyday look. They will consistently deliver on style and comfort whether you’re logging miles or sitting pretty at brunch.
When your feet need a little TLC, the Restfeels have you covered. Complete with a fleece-lined upper and dual foam construction, they serve as a robe for your feet post-shower, a hug for when you’re leaving the gym or a smart solution for when you need something fuss-free to slide into when running out of the house for errands.
Lululemon bags
If you’re seeing the Everywhere Belt Bag, well, everywhere, you’re not imagining it. The Instagram-famous and editor-approved bag will delight you with its sheer convenience and low-maintenance design featuring a water-repellent fabric, numerous generous compartments, an adjustable strap to wear it slung around your hips or crossbody and a two-way zipper for easy access to your belongings.
Tote bags are the only way to go if you want to look laid-back while having ample room to schlep your work gear or groceries. Instead of using that tattered one you’ve had for years, invest in this durable one made of a structured water-repellent cotton lined material with faux leather trim made of cactus for a chic look. We bet the one you got for free at the grocery store features way fewer pockets for organizing your belongings.
Well, well, well. If it isn’t the most stylish and versatile bag on the Lululemon roster yet. Wear it high up on your shoulder or slung across your chest crossbody for numerous styling options. Its curved silhouette allows for maximum convenience when heading out for long days while remaining comfortable to wear for extended periods. A mix of zippered large compartments and easy-access exterior pockets make it the perfect everyday bag.
New parents need something reliable to tote around the mountains of supplies it takes to keep a baby happy and healthy while on the go. This fan-favorite diaper bag is made of a water-repellent fabric (because a baby can and will make a mess when you least expect it), a removable pouch with a built-in changing pad, side pockets for easy access to bottles, pacifiers and more and a backpack strap that unclips to affix directly onto your stroller. The best part? It looks far more elevated than your typical diaper bag, making it an ideal commuter’s backpack once your kids are all grown up (tear, tear, sniff, sniff).
