There is no denying people are obsessed with Lululemon. The brand is known for its buttery-soft fabrics, flattering fits and high-quality pieces that last. While the brand's athleisure products are incredibly cute and comfortable, they can be superhard to get your hands on — they often sell out in many colors and sizes, and even when their hoodies, pullovers and T-shirts are in stock, they're pretty pricey. Luckily, Lululemon fans, there are a variety of look-alikes (and feel-alikes) that you can snag for a fraction of the cost, whether you’re working hard in the gym, lounging or running errands.

We scoured customer reviews and social media feeds to find out which affordable options are actually worth buying over the Lululemon version. Many have side-by-side comparisons of the workout clothes showing off just how similar the items are to the real thing. Some even have the seal of approval from former Lululemon employees who say they can't even tell the difference between the products! Let's take a look at the top picks, shall we?

The Lululemon Align Leggings are arguably the brand’s most popular product. According to TikTok user @shelby.sherwood, however, this pair of Crz Yoga leggings is nearly identical, down to the wide waistband! In her video (which has racked up over 6,600 likes), she puts the two workout leggings side by side to show just how similar they look. The Crz Yoga leggings appear to have the same fabric, stitching and fit. What’s more, the activewear comes in 32 different colors, ranges in size from XXS to XL and has two inseam length options. And you can buy three pairs for the price tag of one of Lululemon’s best-loved leggings. 

Vorteile
  • Strong yet soft fabric
  • Wide waistband
Nachteile
  • Could offer better compression

Even former Lululemon employees can’t tell the difference between these joggers and their more expensive counterparts. TikToker @arianavitale worked at Lululemon for over two and a half years and compiled this viral video of the best comparables around. This pair of joggers from The Gym People is her pick for the best Align Jogger alternative at a fraction of the cost. They have the same high-rise elastic waistband, tapered leg cuffs and cozy fit. Over 15,000 shoppers agree with her and can’t stop raving about how similar the workout pants are. Some even love them more than the pricier options. “I literally want to buy these in every color available. The material is such good quality! I actually prefer these over my Lululemons,” wrote one shopper.

Vorteile
  • Can be used for lounging or working out
  • High-rise fit
Nachteile
  • Hand-wash only
  • May not be for highly intense workouts
$29 at Amazon

These stretchy shorts are another recommendation from a former Lululemon employee! Love the Lululemon Align Shorts but don’t want to spend $64 or more on them? Look no further than this near-identical Crz Yoga pair. They are another one of @arianavitale’s favorites — she notes that the material and the seam alignment of the bike shorts are the same as that of the Lululemon option. The Crz Yoga shorts come in 3-, 4-, 6-, 8- and 10-inch options and a whopping 48 different color options.

Vorteile
  • Supportive waistband with light tummy control
  • Naked skin feeling
Nachteile
  • May ride up during workouts
$18 at Amazon

The Lululemon Align Cami Strap Dress is versatile and can be worn for various sports or casual wear, and it’s adorably cute. But it costs $148. Luckily, we found the Ewedoos Women’s Tennis Dress, which looks nearly identical and costs a fraction of that price. It even comes in nine colors, while the Lululemon version comes in only four. Reviewers describe the material as “buttery soft” and like the snug fit. “It holds wonderful and is tight. Highly recommend. It’s so cute! I felt very comfortable in my skin,” wrote one happy shopper. The dress comes in XS to XXL.

Vorteile
  • Can be used for various activities
  • Built-in bra and shorts
Nachteile
  • Have to remove completely to go to the bathroom
$38 at Amazon

According to @arianavitale, the MathCat compression shirt is an “amazing” alternative to the Lululemon Swiftly Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt. Made from a soft and lightweight nylon and elastane blend material, the workout top is stretchy with a moisture-wicking fabric. Its seamless design prevents chafing, while its thumb hole prevents the sleeves from rising up while you work out, which is particularly helpful for outdoor workouts. “... Has the same material — the thumb holes. ... It’s super comfortable warm and stretchy,” raved one shopper.

Vorteile
  • Breathable fabric that still keeps you warm in colder weather
  • Stretchy
Nachteile
  • Runs small
$27 at Amazon

Hit the courts and the track in style in this cute and comfortable tennis and running skort. TikTok user @livinglucki dropped a video describing why this Husnainna skirt is her favorite Amazon purchase. “It’s just like the Lulu skirt with the pleats on the back and the quality is amazing,” she said. Even better, it’s a much lower price at just $27, compared to $78 for the Lululemon Pace Rival Mid-Rise Skirt. They both have a zipper pocket at the back to hold your phone and built-in shorts underneath. The Husnainna skort comes in 29 different colors and ranges in size from 2 to 14.

Vorteile
  • Built-in shorts with pockets
Nachteile
  • Depending on fit, shorts may ride up

Looking for a flattering tank top that rivals the Align Tank? Over 27,000 shoppers have given this tank top from the Gym People their seal of approval. The polyamide and spandex material is soft and stretchy against the skin, and also breathable and sweat-wicking to keep you dry during tough workouts. “I LOVE these tops. They are so comfortable, flattering and versatile,” wrote one reviewer. “Such a great quality for the cost. Lulu-look for less. I have these in multiple colors and will be purchasing more in the future!”

Vorteile
  • Can be worn as a sports bra or tank with built-in bra
Nachteile
  • Straps are slightly loose
$23 at Amazon

 If you’re looking for a pair of athletic shorts that rival the Lululemon Track That Shorts but provide a bit more coverage in the rear, TikTok user @jesshelmerrr recommends these Bmjl running shorts. They look “so similar, it’s not even funny,” she said during a video in which she tries on both pairs — one after the other. The quick-drying shorts have a flattering high-waisted design and tulip-cut bottom that make them supereasy to move around in. Best of all, they have pockets! These workout shorts are so flattering and comfortable, you’ll want multiple pairs in your rotation.

Vorteile
  • Snug yet comfortable fit
  • High-waisted design
Nachteile
  • Pocket is small, may not fit all phones
$23 at Amazon

This flattering sports bra is perfect for low-impact workouts. Since sports bras are typically worn underneath other clothes, it’s doubtful you want to drop 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 way less. “Y’all know I love my Lululemon, but I also love to save me some money,” she wrote in the video caption. “Less than half the price and on Amazon Prime!” The Crz Yoga bra looks just like its Lululemon counterpart, is made from a buttery soft material and comes with removable pads.

Vorteile
  • Includes removable pads
  • Buttery soft
Nachteile
  • Light support means it is more for yoga or lounging rather than intense activity

If you’ve ever tried to get your hands on the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag, you’ve probably noticed it’s often sold out in certain colors. But Amazon has a near-identical bag — the Ododos Mini Belt Bag, and it’s only $12 (compared to Lulu's $38 style)! This nylon fanny pack is a storage workhorse: It has a roomy main compartment with different sections and a secret zippered pocket at the back — plus, it comes in 27 colors (one for nearly every day of the month). It has an adjustable nylon strap attached to a nylon pouch that you can wear around your waist or comfortably across your chest as a crossbody bag. Over 14,500 shoppers have given it a five-star rating. One even wrote, “This was such a great underrated buy. I didn’t expect to like it this much! I’ve used this bag every day on my travel abroad. It’s big enough for a phone, wallet, passport and a couple of other necessities. It’s super comfortable and looked great with all of my outfits.

Vorteile
  • Tiny but fits a lot
  • Adjustable strap
Nachteile
  • Some shoppers said it's not as durable as would like

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

Vorteile
  • Can be worn two ways, standard neckline or lower V-neckline
Nachteile
  • No padding included
$9 at Amazon

We love the cool strappy look of this sports bra and that there are tons of colors to choose from. Much like the Lululemon Energy Bra, this strappy workout essential by Crz Yoga provides lightweight support that’s ideal for low-impact workouts. Like the Lululemon bra, the Crz bra is seamless, soft and breathable and has crisscrossing racerback straps that provide support while giving the bra a fun aesthetic. “These bras are perfect for working out and high-intensity workouts. IMO they are better than Lulu. True to size,” raved one shopper.

Vorteile
  • Smooth material
  • Offers compression
Nachteile
  • Cup size runs small
$26 at Amazon

Just like the Align V-Waist Leggings, the crisscross style of these Ododos leggings cinch in at the smallest part of your waist to offer tummy control, plus the extra-wide high-waist band is designed to stay put during your workouts and throughout the day. Reviewers share that these leggings are totally squat-proof (yes, even the lighter shades), and they don't pill between the thighs. One of more than 6,400 five-star fans shared that these made her say, "Bye-bye, Lulu!" She writes: "I struggle with cellulite (who doesn't?) but damn! No cellulite showing through these pants ... $25 for these or over $100 for Lulu. I’ll choose these!"

Vorteile
  • Squat-proof
Nachteile
  • Fabric attracts lint and fur
