We’re wearing these for Pilates classes and neighborhood strolls.

Best Sweatshirt: Automet Zip Up Hoodie

SELF’s former commerce director is a big fan of Lululemon’s Scuba Sweatshirt, and she’s finally found a decent copycat in this Automet version. “I might even prefer the Amazon hoodie’s fabric (blasphemy, I know!),” she says, adding that it feels a little thicker than the name brand. “The full-length zipper makes it easy to take on and off mid-workout, and it’s available in a whole rainbow of colors—I’ve been digging the neutrals lately.”

Best Bike Short: CRZ Yoga Naked Feeling Biker Short

Whether you’re into running, cycling, barre, or yoga, Lululemon’s Align High-Rise Short is a staple. We’ve found a twin in these CRZ Yoga shorts, which come in three inseam lengths (3, 4, or 6 inches) and plenty of colors, including brights and neutrals.

This popular Amazon pick has thousands of five-star ratings and a glowing review from one SELF tester: “As long as CRZ is in business, I don’t see myself shopping at Lulu (at least for bottoms) anytime soon,” she says. “The Naked Feeling Bike Shorts are some of my favorites for sweaty workouts and just everyday wear in the summertime. They’re quick-drying, stretchy yet supportive, and opaque.”

Best Leggings: CRZ Yoga Brushed Naked Feeling Workout Leggings

A Lululemon fan favorite, the Wunder Train High-Rise Tight is made for tough workouts—but at nearly $100 a pair, stocking up can be costly. These CRZ Yoga leggings have a comparable amount of compression and are often available for under $30.

“I only got the Naked Feeling Leggings after falling in love with CRZ’s Ulti-Dry Leggings (and buying multiple pairs of them),” one SELF tester says. “Where those are extremely thin and a little matte, the Naked Feeling feels more substantial and supportive, but still incredibly easy to move in. I can run errands, take long walks, do yoga, run, climb, and sweat to my heart’s content in them without worrying about them bagging out, showing sweat marks, or getting in the way of my activities.”

Both pairs of leggings are made from polyester and elastane, for a soft, stretchy feel—but these come in way more colors, making them a great substitute for cycling or running.

Runner-Up Leggings: Amazon Essentials Workout Leggings

As much as our tester loves her CRZ leggings, she can’t deny that these Amazon Essentials ones are just as good (and also pretty budget-friendly). “They’re officially in my regular workout rotation—they hold up great in the wash, wick away sweat, stretch and move with me, and are comfy enough to wear outside of the gym for a day of bopping around,” she says.

And yes, they feel like the real deal: “I’m really happy with the material,” our tester adds. “It’s that classic activewear, borderline-swimsuit type of moisture-shedding technical fabric, and that’s exactly what I need, as someone who sweats super easily.”

Best Yoga Pants: Topyogas Casual Bootleg Yoga Pants

Lululemon’s Align High-Rise Mini Flare Pant is a loungewear staple. But for nearly $120, we need more options. These yoga pants are just the ticket, for under $30 (and they’re frequently on sale for less).

I’ve owned a pair of these for about a year, and I wear them almost every single weekend. I’ve quite literally lived in them on planes, trains, and automobiles, and I love that they’re stretchy enough to feel comfortable, even when I’m sitting down for hours. The criss-cross waistband is a cute detail too!

Best Jacket: Amazon Essentials Active Sweat Zip Through Jacket

No matter what your workout routine looks like, I think you need a lightweight, slim-fit jacket in your closet. Lululemon’s viral Define Jacket Luon fits the bill, but it also has a steep, $118 price tag. Instead, you can scoop up this Amazon Essentials version that I’ve been sporting lately for much less (under $25!).

It’s perfect for chilly days when I want to layer up on a walk around my neighborhood. The stretchy fabric moves with me and is brushed on the inside, for a softer feel. Post-gym, I wear it over my sweaty tank top and under my winter jacket, which also saves me from having to wash my coat more often.

Best Tank Top: Amazon Essentials 2-Pack Tech Stretch Racerback Tank Top

As someone with a larger chest, I don’t always feel comfortable (or supported) working out in only a sports bra, so lately, I’ve been reaching for this tank. It has a racerback, scoop neck design that lets my skin breathe, which is essential when I’m sweating my butt off at the gym. Plus, the material is really soft and stretchy—similar to Lulu’s Swiftly Tech Racerback Tank 2.0.

More great options

If you haven’t seen a dupe of your favorite Lulu item yet, rest assured—there’s more where that came from. Below, we found even more tops, bottoms, and dresses that resemble Lululemon favorites.

Topcloset Tennis Dress for Workout

Similar to Lululemon’s Lightweight Linerless Tennis Dress, but with a built-in bra and removable pads, Topcloset’s Tennis Dress is ready for spin class, step workouts, or a busy day of errands. While both options are made from stretchy nylon fabric, this one has separate shorts with two side pockets that are deep enough to hold your phone.

We also like that it comes in three times as many colors for less than half of what Lulu charges. Reviewers say the dress is “comfy and flattering” but note that it runs a bit small, so you may want to order a size up from your usual.

The Gym People Sports Bra

In between a sports bra and a tank, this wire-free, padded top from the Gym People is a great swap for Lululemon’s Align Tank Top. With a longline silhouette, it provides medium support and is made from a spandex blend that’s stretchy, breathable, and sweat-wicking—ideal for yoga or Pilates. Plus, it comes in around 30 colors (compared to just a few at Lululemon) and has over 27,000 rave, five-star reviews from Amazon shoppers.

Soothfeel Running Shorts

These loose-fitting running shorts are a solid alternative for Lululemon’s Hotty Hot High-Rise Lined Short. They’re under $30 and impressive features to make working out comfier: a thick elastic waistband with a hidden drawstring for adjustability, zippered pockets for your keys or credit card, a built-in liner, and side slits that give your legs a little more room. They’re also made of a quick-drying material, so sweat won’t bring you down.

Derca Pleated Tennis Skirt

I picked up the Varsity High-Rise Pleated Tennis Skirt during a recent Lululemon shopping spree and fell in love with the Barbiecore pink color (Cherry Mist). But at $88, I’m also looking into more affordable options—like this skort. It has a similar vibe to the Lululemon one, with a pleated design and built-in shorts that have pockets for holding a tennis ball or my phone. It also comes in similarly bright, bold colors like hot pink, purple, yellow, and cobalt blue, to perfectly match my mood when I hit the court.

Real Essentials: Dry Fit Crop Top (5-Pack)

Lululemon’s Ultralight Waist-Length T-Shirt feels light as air and looks almost identical to these crop tops from Real Essentials. They’re stretchy, soft, and come in a pack of five in regular and plus sizes for under $40 (that’s around 80% off Lululemon’s price).

MathCat Seamless Workout Shirt

This long sleeve is exactly what you need when the weather is chilly, but not quite cold enough to wear a jacket on your runs. It reminds us of Lulu’s Swiftly Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt 2.0, with a slim fit and thumbholes. Both shirts are made of stretchy nylon and elastane, and they have breathable mesh panels to keep you from overheating. Reviewers say the Amazon version is a tad thicker than the Lululemon one, in a good way.

CRZ YOGA Lightweight Workout Joggers

These stretchy, lightweight pants are perfect for days when you just can’t deal with jeans. Since they’re made of sweat-wicking polyamide and elastane, they’re also great to wear for a dance workout or elliptical session. It’s actually uncanny how much they look like the Dance Studio Mid-Rise Jogger—a favorite among Lululemon reviewers for comfy, casual ’fits.

How we chose the best Lululemon dupes on Amazon

Tons of brands claim to make Lululemon dupes, so we sifted through verified Amazon customer reviews to make sure everything we chose looks and feels similar to the real deal. We also tested some of these dupes ourselves, and we can attest that they give Lululemon a run for its money. To make sure our picks hold up, we compared materials, looking for stretchy, sweat-wicking fabrics that are similar to Lululemon’s blends.

Can I buy Lululemon on Amazon?

Unfortunately, Lululemon doesn’t sell its clothes on Amazon—only its own site. Luckily, there are plenty of alternatives from other brands to shop.

Pro tip: If you see an item with Lululemon listed as the brand on Amazon, it’s being sold by a third-party seller. You can find out which company is shipping it by checking the information listed underneath the “add to cart” button.
