The Strategist Guide to Shopping at Lululemon

By A Mystery Man Writer

A roundup of the best Lululemon items for men and women that we’ve written about on the Strategist, including sweat-wicking leggings, ventilated tank tops, quick-drying scrunchies, and seamless underwear.
These are the softest, lightest pants for holding a downward dog — or taking a long-distance flight. The fabric holds its shape on your body without squishing any internal organs. They’re so ridiculously comfortable that I also wear them to sleep.
If you want to avoid a sweaty back situation at the gym, you could invest in a stylish open-back top like this Lululemon one that Seib recommends for its versatility. “Wear it ‘open and flowy’ for barre and crushing weights in the gym (okay, or during PMS), or tied up in the back for practicing your arm balances next vinyasa.”
In winter or the early morning, you might need a long-sleeve in your arsenal. If she needs to keep her arms covered, Tuttle layers this long-sleeve crew neck over a tank or doubles up with two of them in really cold weather. “Since it is light, and moves well without chafing, I have found this to be a great top or mid-layer piece. I like that it has thumb holes for a little extra protection over my hands.”
For a medium-impact sport like Zumba, spinning, or hiking, where you’ll expect to have more movement, built-in support is key. Lyons says the new Lululemon Flow Y Bra is “forever and always” her go-to for hot yoga, boot-camping, spinning — basically anything. “It’s versatile, looks good under anything, is comfortable, and gives great coverage.”
