If you’ve been following along with LIY for any length of time, you know our love for both Lululemon and Amazon runs deep. Whether you’re hitting the gym, traveling, running errands, or kickin’ it on the couch, Lulu’s high-quality pieces are some of our closet favorites! The down side? They’re pretty pricy and the more popular items are in and out of stock frequently [Belt Bags, we’re talking to you]! Insert Amazon. We set out to find comparable Amazon products that could pass for the real deal – for a fraction of the Lululemon price – without sacrificing quality! Spoiler Alert: get ready to fill up your Amazon cart. Here are a few Lululemon look-a-likes from Amazon!
The Belt Bag
The Scuba Half Zip Hoodie
Amazon Half Zip Long Sleeve Fleece Crop Pullover Sweatshirt [sized up for oversized fit, wearing size Large in Khaki]
Lululemon Scuba Hoodie [true to size]
Here’s the deal. I really loved my Lulu Scuba Hoodie and wore it non-stop when it arrived. But after the first run through the wash, the zipper pull broke off! For a $100+ sweatshirt, I was super disappointed. However, I did take it into the Lulu store, and the girls working were SO nice and ordered a replacement for me – no questions asked. Maybe I received a dud, but I’m anxious to see how the replacement holds up when it arrives. If you’re not willing to risk it, my under $40 Amazon version felt like such similar fabric quality and made it through laundry day with no issues! Several of my girlfriends [Lululemon junkies!] even thought it was Lulu!
The Wunder Train Leggings 25″
Lululemon Wunder Train High-Rise Tight 25″ [true to size, wearing 6]
Amazon Leggings 25″ [true to size, wearing medium]
Taking the popular high-waisted black leggings for a barre and treadmill test – which one did I love the best? Funny you should ask! I actually love them both, for different activities! For barre, yoga, really getting your squats on, I would choose the Amazon leggings! They were the perfect mix of soft stretch for those activities. The Lululemons were wonderful(tight/kept me all snug as a bug) on walks, jogs and my high fitness classes! They made me feel very secure and I loved them as I often think someone is running behind me… but it’s just my butt jiggling! 😉 The quality on both pairs are amazing! I found the materials on both-a-plenty, no peep shows happening with these leggings! All in all, I find these very comparable but would prefer one over the other depending on my activity for the day!
The Back in Action Long Sleeve Top
Amazon Long Sleeve Workout Shirt [true to size, wearing size medium in Camo Multi 6]
Back in Action Long Sleeve Shirt [true to size, wearing size 10 in black]
When I think higher price, I think higher quality, but I’m not sure that’s the case with this Lululemon Back in Action shirt! I tried the comparable Amazon CRZ Yoga version, and to tell ya the truth, I could barely tell a difference! While the materials felt almost identical [not to mention the same tags and overall stitching and fit!], the material on the Amazon version was a bit softer! For a basic, loose fitting, long sleeve tee, I’d pay the Amazon price over and over again rather than splurging for the Lulu! Both come in tons of colors!
