24 Cheaper Alternatives To Lululemon
A pair of Dreamlux leggings reviewers compare to Lululemon's Align version because 1) they're ridiculously and aaamazingly soft, 2) they're squat-proof, and 3) the level of comfort they provide is truly worthy of a heftier price tag...but we'll gladly take the affordable $24.99 that they are.
An affordable, Lululemon-esque longline sports bra featuring built-in padding, meaning you don't need to wear a bra. (Yep, you heard me!) If you're like me and throw your bra across the room like a shotput Olympic champion when you get home... just get this top now. Oh, and you can hike, work out, and do yoga comfortably in it too, but you know, minor detail in comparison.
An adjustable mini belt bag that's so similar to Lululemon's viral pouch, you'll have to do a double-take. Its versatility allows you to wear it around your waist or your shoulders (my personal fave), and even though it's compact, it holds a surprising amount inside, too! This isn't a regular fanny pack, it's a ~cool~ fanny pack that's got reviewers obsessed with the chic and sleek design.
A pair of high-waisted quick-dry running shorts made of lightweight, quick-dry material that won't get in the way of your workout. Some reviewers even compare these cuties to the more expensive Lululemon version (with the bonus of an underwear liner and large side pockets).
A comfy yoga romper reviewers say is comparable to our favorite athletic brand because the quality is THAT good. It comes complete with *perfect* stretchy material and adjustable straps. I'm not saying this will motivate you to do yoga, but you'd look super cute in this if you did!
A cropped workout jacket with curved stitching that highlights your silhouette in a *great* way. The Lululemon Define jackets might have some serious competition!
A boxy tee, because a shirt like this would cost you nearly $50 at Ms. Lemon. It's a simple piece that is basically a closet essential (especially if you're looking to expand your wardrobe basics on a budget!). This oversized tee would look stylish on your weekend hike *and* during happy hour cocktails. The options? Limitless. A must? Absolutely.
A comfortable pair of biker shorts — the stylish, socially acceptable form of PJs we all love to wear (even with zero intentions of getting on a bike). They come in a ton of different colors and patterns, too!
A moisture-wicking sleeveless workout dress, because it can 100% be worn even when not working out (just ask the hundreds of reviewers). This comfy and stylish dress is made of suuuper soft and lightweight fabric and even has a built-in bra and compressive inner shorts with pockets! Did someone say brilliant?
A super cute sweetheart bodysuit reviewers say is worth *every* penny! It's made with especially smooth and buttery material from Pumiey's Smoke Cloud collection, and the elegant neckline kicks it up from a maybe to a must-have. Reviewers say it's similar to the Lululemon Wundermust body suit that costs more than five times the price!
An adjustable sports bra made with deliciously smooth fabric, four-way stretch, and adjustable straps to ensure a great fit. The comfy compression will help keep you secure whether you're running errands or running the trails. You might want to grab the matching leggings, too, just to complete the look. Lulu who!??
An oversized waffle knit cardigan that gives me the same vibes as Lululemon's crochet knit cardigan: comfy with a relaxed fit. It's great for layering in the winter and wearing with a tank in the summer. Everyone needs an easy-to-style sweater in their closet, and this is *thee* one.
A reviewer-proclaimed "better than Lulu" workout tank with a built-in bra — I repeat — Built. In. Bra! This top is comfy, seamless, and less than half the price of the trending Ebe to Street tank.
A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers that'll have people on the street complimenting your Lulu's because they're so similar. With the same stretchy waistband and incredibly comfy loose fit, I'll leave it to you whether or not you admit that these gems aren't the Align joggers!
OR a pair of lightweight, mid-rise athletic joggers which look eerily similar to the Dance Studio pants that cost over a hundred buckaroos. They've got comfy stretchy waist, a drawstring hem and waist, and deep pockets that can fit more than just your pinky finger. The fabric is breathable and quick-drying, too — perfect for the gym, according to reviewers!
A cropped tank because it's the stylish basic that is absolutely essential to have in at least two of the 20+ color options. And why double-up on a top that costs $50+, when this one can be worn the same way at half the price? This easy-to-style piece is made of a comfy material so thick and stretchy that some reviewers say you won't need a bra either!
A ribbed workout jumpsuit that's compressive yet breathable, comfortable yet stylish, high quality yet affordable. (At least compared to the Lulu options. 👀) According to reviewers, it's thick enough to prevent undie lines, too — thank goodness!
A super cute tennis skirt featuring built-in shorts with inner pockets so that you're (literally) covered whether you're on the pickleball court or sitting on a bar stool enjoying your Cesar salad and truffle fries...IYKYK. Reviewers compare this closet must-have to Lululemon's Align skirt!
High-waisted flare leggings — the ultimate lounge essential your closet is missing. Reviewers say these babies are *extremely* comfortable and stretchy and that they work great for everything from yoga to working from home (aka the couch). Aside from having a TON of color options, these beauties have over 17,000 5-star ratings, too. Can I say the same for Lululemon's flares? Nope!
A matching set with seams and material that remind me of Lu-know-who's scuba collection. The joggers have pockets (!!) an elastic waist, and a super cute line detail going down the leg, while the top's cropped cut makes it an easy mix n' match option. Plus, is any athleisure collection complete without a matching set?
Or a versatile oversized tee and shorts set for when just the idea of sweatpants literally makes you sweat. Snagging a matching set from Madame Lulu herself would *easily* cost you over $100, but this two-piece is a steal at under $25.
A cute 'n sporty pullover with a quarter zip, a giant kangaroo pocket, and, according to reviewers, an astonishing amount of comfort. Spending hundreds on casual wear is so last year. Looking like a hundred bucks, however? That's *always* in.
A "buttery soft" backless workout top perfect for high-movement activities like hiking and working out, and low-movement activities like vegging out on the couch watching the latest season of Love Island...because it's just that comfortable. Isn't that the definition of "athlesuire" anyway?
Ultra soft wide-leg sweatpants that may look like the Lululemon Softstreme pants, but surprise! These alternatives are from Amazon and are *truly* multifunctional. Running through the airport to catch a flight? You've got a cute pair of sweats to throw on in a hurry. Hibernating at home? Time to break out these comfy pants.

This $10M brutalist English mansion once held a Cold War-era secret
This recently listed brutalist mansion comes with an explosive history. The $10 million property in England resides in the footprint of a Cold War-era torpedo testing site. The listing, held by Daniel Killick of Savills, was first reported by Mansion Global. 12 The mansion was built in the footprint of the domed torpedo testing facility. Savills 12 A man stands in the domed laboratory atop a mechanical arm, which was used to test underwater explosives. Alamy Stock Photo The two-story home makes up part of the blast-proof concrete wall encircling a sunken grassy courtyard, evoking a cross between ancient ruins and a lunar base. A brutalist modern architectural firm, Norman & Dawbarn, was charged with transforming the historic building into a family residence in the early 2000s. The resulting crescent-shaped, low-lying abode is light, airy and spacious. A visitor to the property between the 1950s and 1993 would have been greeted with a far more imposing edifice. The former military testing site was built around a massive circular water tank measuring 151 feet across — about the size of an Olympic swimming pool — with a domed copper roof to deter spies. Norman & Dawbarn made ample use of materials like concrete, aluminum and copper, according to the brokerage, in an ode to the home's former life. The firm's brutalist style can be found in the property's bold geometric lines, curved walls and utilitarian layout. 12 The home's brutalist design pays homage to the site's militaristic past. Savills 12 Midcentury-modern touches accent the interiors, including the dynamic front door and metallic stairs. Savills 12 Natural light flows into the large reception rooms. Savills 12 The heavy use of concrete and metal gives the interiors a raw quality. Savills 12 The stark, metallic kitchen. Savills 12 An upstairs bedroom. Savills 12 A utilitarian bathroom. Savills The first floor features a metallic kitchen and three reception rooms. The open floor plan is bathed in natural light from an abundance of large, rectangular glass windows. Curving metal staircases connect to the second floor, consisting of six bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms. The 10,113-square-foot residence also features two subterranean levels that haven't been resorted since the Cold War days, Killick told Mansion Global. Raw remnants of the site, including a section of empty tank and winding tunnels, can be accessed through a basement door, according to a previous Daily Mail profile of the property. 12 One of the unfinished subterranean floors. Savills 12 The property is surrounded by lush gardens. Savills 12 The home sits 'in the heart' of London's 1,100-acre Bushy Park, according to Savills. Savills 'It is a privilege to bring this incredible home to market and to be involved with the sale of one of south west London's most significant houses,' said Killick in a statement. The 1.3-acre gated property also boasts a rare location. Just past the property's red brick wall is the 1,100-acre Bushy Park, London's second largest royal park.

Why Lululemon Athletica Stock Crashed Today
Lululemon Athletica stock beat on earnings last night -- barely. Guidance is the bigger worry, with Lululemon forecasting much lower Q2 earnings than Wall Street expected. Trump's tariffs turmoil appears to be to blame. 10 stocks we like better than Lululemon Athletica Inc. › Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ: LULU) stock got torn up on Friday, tumbling 20.2% through 11:55 a.m. ET despite beating earnings (barely) last night. Heading into the company's Q1 2025, analysts expected Lululemon to post $2.59 per share in profit on $2.37 billion in quarterly sales. Lululemon nailed the revenue target, and beat by the proverbial penny, with $2.60 per share earned. Sales grew 7% year over year, but same-store sales were up only 1%. Gross profit margins grew, but operating margins sank -- down 110 basis points to 18.5%. Still, on the bottom line, Lulu managed to grow its earnings by about 2%, to the aforementioned $2.60 per share. Earnings growth did lag sales growth significantly, however, because of the slimmer profit margin. Yet even so, CFO Meghan Frank emphasized the fact that sales did grow faster, and said she was "pleased with the start to our second quarter" as well. But should she be? Turning to guidance, Lululemon says Q2 sales will grow 7% or 8% to as high as perhaps $2.56 billion, with earnings between $2.85 per share and $2.90. Problem is, up on Wall Street, they wanted to hear Lulu promise $3.32 per share -- and that's clearly not going to happen. Worse, full-year guidance sees sales growth slowing to as little as 5% to 7% ($11.15 billion to $11.3 billion), and earnings are supposed to range from $14.58 to $14.78 per share. Analysts blame President Trump's tariffs policy for the weakening sales outlook. But whoever's to blame, the results aren't encouraging. Valued at about 18 times current-year forecast earnings, Lululemon stock costs too much for mid-single-digit growth. For the time being, I'm afraid it's probably a "sell."
