35 Alternatives To Pricey Fashion Items In Your Cart
Buttery soft high-waisted leggings, which are deceivingly identical to Lululemon's Align leggings — and reviewers are calling it out! The only difference? These give you all the buttery soft material and comfiness for a mere fraction of the name-brand price. 👀 Slingback heels because they blend comfort and elegance in the most gorgeous way. Their timeless style might just make these one of your most-used pairs — they'll take you from your daily office routine to casual lunch dates to evening drinks. Many reviewers agree that these also give *major* Chanel vibes. Or some breathable pointed-toe flats ready to keep your feet cushioned and decked out in style. They look and feel as high-quality as Rothy's or Vivaia, without having to spend the extra $70–$100. The stretchy knit upper is comfy and trendy-looking (office days just got a whole lot better!) and you can toss 'em in the wash before they even have the *chance* to get stinky. An oh-so-elegant ribbed button-up tank, which is giving the side eye to the similar Abercrombie & Fitch style that's double the price. 👀 You know what that means? You don't have to limit yourself to just one color. And a cherry bag charm so you can stay on-trend without having to shell out $95 for the Coach charm. This'll add a cute lil' pop of color to any plain bag. Plus, you can get one for every single bag you own without breaking the bank. A flirty corset lace-up sundress with a cute slit and a bustier design that's sure to fit you like a glove. It gives major Bridgerton vibes, but the price tag makes it easier than ever to show up looking like the diamond of the season. And it looks extremely similar to the House of CB version (which goes for over $200 👀). A ribbed workout jumpsuit that reviewers claim looks and feels like Skims-level quality, but asks for way less money out of your wallet than Ms. Kim K. It's compressive but breathable, with four-way stretch so you can pull off all your squats with ease (plus it's thick enough that it won't show your undies). And a long-sleeve bodysuit because it's basically saying "Look at me! Look at me!" before you pull the trigger on that Skims bodysuit. The "Smoke Cloud" fabric is buttery smooth and *not* sheer, and the sweetheart neckline will add a little extra charm to your ensemble even if it's being paired with your fave faded jeans. A faux-leather bag that you'll be dying to show off at your next office day. Just let your work nemesis assume it's Polène's Cyme. And send them an unnecessarily long email while you're at it. Some Nortiv 8 walking shoes because they're designed with pillowy comfort and bold color combos that let them disguise themselves as Hokas. Guess this means you get to splurge a little bit more on your *non*-workout 'fits. A Lululemon-inspired tennis skirt with built-in shorts and a secret inner pocket for your phone so you can hold your iced coffee in one hand and gesticulate with your other as you tell your bestie the latest tea in your love life while on your hot girl walk. Also, no need to worry about a strong breeze. A pair of pilot shield sunglasses that'll make you do a double-take because they're verrrry similar to the $699 Bottega Veneta pair you've been stalking online. Seriously, the attention to detail on these will leave you *spooked*. Or a pair of retro-style oval sunglasses — even the snobbiest of sunglasses connoisseurs would *swear* these are the $400+ Miu Miu ones. And who are you to correct anyone that comes to that conclusion? Or!! A pair of oversize square sunnies to throw on for an instant style boost, no matter what you're wearing. The polarized lenses offer UV 400 protection, so not only will you look amazing, but your eyes will also be shielded from those harsh rays. Plus, reviewers say they look just like the $425 square sunglasses from Bottega Veneta! A beautiful tennis bracelet, because a small, twinkly accessory can add an upscale factor to any outfit. And just look at that Swarovski-like sparkle it gives off (no one would ever know that it's actually cubic zirconia). Or, go all out with a set of golden bracelets so you bling your wrist out without wearing your wallet out. Like this reviewer says, "Cartier who?!" A beaded shoulder bag — alright, I'm gonna have to see some ID because there's no way this isn't the $295 one from Staud. Hey, better to get a little splurgey at Anthro with this little beauty and *not* have to completely wipe out your ~treat yourself~ budget. An elevated laptop tote bag so clean-cut and beautiful it might just empower you to strut through that office like the baddie you are (even though you're dreading sorting through those Monday-morning emails). This stylish piece offers spacious compartments for all your essentials (laptop, makeup bag, books, and more) and keeps them organized and within reach. Reviewers even compare this to (and favor it over) the Béis Work Tote that sells for $148! A spandex-blend slip maxi dress that'll have you looking absolutely chic *and* staying comfy at the same time. Reviewers *love* how the material is just as soft as the trendy Skims version... and some even say it's better! A fanny pack people say is veryyy similar to Lululemon's belt bag, which is over double the price! Use it to keep your phone, wallet, headphones, (and maybe even a protein bar to snack on) close to you and easily accessible. Perfect for travel or everyday use! The strap is long enough to wear crossbody or around your waist, which keeps your arms and hands completely free. Plus, it'll surprise you with just how roomy it is. A pair of sandals that many reviewers say are a wonderful alternative to Birkenstocks (there are 1,000+ reviews comparing them). Their cork footbed quickly adjusts to the contour of your foot *and* they're designed with soft lining and adjustable straps. The comfort of a tennis shoe combined with the effortlessness of a sandal? Yes, please. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers because they have a tapered design and a stretchy waistband that'll probably make them one of the most reached-for pieces in your closet. And let's not forget the side pockets! Plus, reviewers have not failed to notice how remarkably similar they are to Lulu's Align joggers. 👀 And a soft, stretchy longline sports bra drawing comparisons to a tank from the same collection, so you could achieve the whole Lulu Align ~look~ for a whole lot less. It's designed with a classic V-neckline, sweat-wicking fabric, and goes with, well, anything! You can also pair it with your fave biker shorts or leggings so you can go straight from your errand-packed morning to your afternoon yoga class. Platform slippers in case you've added the similar Ugg Tazz pair to your cart about a million times but haven't been able to checkout just yet. Once you slip your feet into the faux-fur shoes, you'll find you'll be wearing them so often, they'll basically be an extension of you (yup, even in the heat of summer). A pair of stylish teardrop earrings, which simply ooze Bottega Veneta vibes. Accessorize any 'fit with these beauties for an instant ~chic factor.~ Plus! Reviewers say they're so lightweight and comfortable, some even forgot they had them on. And a highly rated pair of hoop earrings reviewers compare to Jennifer Fisher hoops that go for up to hundreds of dollars and say they don't hurt your ears! Whether you're going to lunch with jeans and a plain tee or to an upscale dinner with a dress, these will be the *perfect* touch to tie your whole fit together. A puff-sleeve dress you can wear on *or* off the shoulder, giving us the versatility we need in our lives. It features darling lil' flowers and has been said by one reviewer to be super similar to the popular Nap Dress! BRB, gonna go get it in every color. A pair of gorgeous, super versatile heeled slip-ons if you want all the *slip on, slip off* ease, but in a classic open-toe design — plus they could pass for the version by It brand Dolce Vita. These babies have a thick heel for stability as well as soft, thick braided straps to keep your feet in place. (Because having them slide all over the place can be so annoying!) A plated ring because reaching for that cup of iced coffee will never feel more bougie than this. And since this one doesn't cost thousands of dollars (chill out, Cartier 😭), you live to see another day of affording that $10 coffee. A faux-pearl choker that Vivienne Westwood herself might have to linger on a moment or two to ensure this isn't actually her Mini Bas Relief pearl choker. This'll tie all those sunny brunch ensembles with a pretty bow! And a pair of Buff Bunny–inspired booty-highlighting biker shorts for anyone who would love to add 48 fun colors and prints to their workout wardrobe without spending $48 on each. That booty (and that wallet) are about to be lookin' thicccc. A pair of absolutely *stunning* sparkly stilettos because it'll make you the belle of the ball. They'll easily become the centerpiece of your outfit, and reviewers rave about how surprisingly comfy they are! This reviewer even compares them to the Christian Louboutin So Kate heels. 👀 A glitzy long-sleeve sequin dress in case you admired the 16Arlington dress Hailey Bieber wore, which goes for $765 (*chokes on my Cup O' Noodles*). This under-$100 version is just begging to make an appearance at your next date night and drop. some. jaws. A pair of elevated, effortlessly chic wide-leg petal sweatpants — if you put these in the same room as the ones from Anthropologie and Free People, it'd be looking like that one Spider-Man meme. Reviewers love how cozy and breathable these are, and that the style is perfect for indoor lounging *and* outdoor errands. A half-zip pullover sweatshirt that serves as the ideal layering piece to take on and off for those airport days. It's light enough to make it easy to travel with but warm enough to keep you from getting cold. It'll also run you far less than Lulu's $118 scuba hoodies.

We put a bunch of lululemon Align pieces to the test — here's how they stand up to summer bike rides, workouts and more
If you're a workout girlie of any kind, you're probably familiar with lululemon's Align leggings. The original version of the brand's cult-favourite leggings have racked up more than 17,000 reviews, have an average 4.2-star rating and are currently available in more than 12 colours. But lululemon has tons (literally 100+!) of other items that are part of their Align collection. From bras and tank tops to shorts, skirts and dresses, their buttery-soft gear is a go-to for pretty much anything — from pilates to movie nights at home. If you're looking for new gear for summer 2025, we recently put six lululemon Align pieces to the test — including the brand new Align No Line leggings. Keep reading for our honest reviews. What I like about them: Anyone who knows me knows I basically live in leggings, so I don't settle for cruddy ones. I've been a fan of lululemon's OG Align leggings for years (I still have my very first pair from 2015) — they're my go-to for everything from walking the dog to elliptical workouts — so I was excited to try their new No Line variation, which eliminates the front seam. These are my new favourite leggings. They're buttery soft, smoothing and even stand up to sweaty summer workouts. They also feature a nifty little pocket under the waistband that can hold your keys or a card. I went for the 28" version, but they also come in a 25" inseam. They're true to size; I'm usually a 4-6 in lululemon and the 4 fit well. Room for improvement: While I love the sleek look of these (and appreciate the functional waistband pocket), I do wish they also had a side pocket. If you're also a pocket lover, lululemon also makes a pocketed version if you don't mind the front seam. Overall rating: 4.5/5 — Hilary Hagerman, Lifestyle & Shopping Managing Editor $118 at lululemon What I like about it: I'm an avid cyclist — but sometimes I get tired of bike shorts and a workout top, especially if I want to look a bit more put together. The Align Dress is another buttery soft, smoothing number that felt great on. I love that it has a built-in shelf bra (I removed the cups and still found it to be quite supportive) and built-in shorts, complete with pockets. I was also impressed by the open-back design (although I did get stuck trying to put it on the first time), which made bathroom breaks easy. After a 20-kilometre bike ride to a summer street festival, I still felt put together — and wasn't drenched in sweat. Room for improvement: While there were a lot of things I enjoyed about the Align Dress, I didn't love the cut on me. I have a shorter torso and a pear-shaped body, so I found the dress clung to my hips in a way that wasn't flattering. I would have liked if the skirt flared out a bit higher up; I actually ended up rolling the midsection to give that shape. I'd also suggest sizing up in this — my usual lululemon size , a 4, fit well through the body but felt a bit tight in the bust, even without the cups. Overall rating: 3.5/5 — HH $148 at lululemon What I like about it: The best way to describe this lululemon Align Midi Dress is sleek and figure-hugging. Its bodycon silhouette clings in all the right places and offers light compression that feels supportive without being too restrictive. The fabric is ultra-soft (as you'd expect from lululemon's Align line), yet substantial enough that it's not see-through, which is important to me. The cut around the neckline and arms is super flattering, and I think it's pretty easy to dress up or down. I'll be wearing it with sneakers on casual days or maybe tossing on an overshirt and sandals when I want something a little more put together. Room for improvement: I should note that I sized up from my typical size, and I think I'd feel a bit like a sausage in casing if I stuck true to size — but that's just me. If you prefer a looser fit, you might want to skip this one, as it's definitely made to show off your shape. Overall rating: 4/5 — Melina Brum, Shopping Editor $128 at lululemon What I like about it: I'm no stranger to lululemon's Align leggings — in fact, I'm a longtime fan. So when I saw the Align High-Rise Mini-Flare Pant, I figured it was the perfect way to try out the flared trend. I went with the Graphite Grey colour (because, let's be honest, I own enough pairs of black leggings for crying out loud) and it's the perfect neutral shade. Just like the rest of my classic Aligns, they're like a second skin, breathable and beyond comfortable. Room for improvement: I will say, I'm still on the fence about the mini-flare. While I love that they add a little something different from my typical ankle-hugging pairs, I think I'm craving a bit more drama, if you will. Maybe the Groove Nulu Super-High-Rise Flared Pant is more my speed. But hey, I'll still be wearing these with sneakers for casual outings and evening walks this summer. Overall rating: 3/5 — MB $128 at lululemon What I like about it: My personality changes with the seasons. By that, I don't just mean my proneness to seasonal depression and the reversal of it come summertime, but which activities I am doing. I love playing sports and staying active, and in the summer months, that means I spend a fair chunk of time on the tennis court. If you play tennis, pickleball or other racket sports, you'll appreciate that the pockets in lululemon's Align High-Rise Skirt can fit your tennis balls while you're playing. I opted for the longer version and find it both super comfortable and sleek enough to wear to a post-game lunch or hangout. Room for improvement: This is my second lululemon skort (I have an older version of this), but I prefer the length of the shorts in my previous pair. The built-in shorts of the Align High-Rise Skirt are rather short, so if you're prone to thigh chafing, it's something to keep in mind. Overall rating: 4.5/5 — Kayla Kuefler, Senior Shopping Editor $78 at lululemon What I like about it: During the summer, I wear one of two things: summer dresses or bike shorts. As I mentioned, I'm quite active, so I need something that is compatible with biking, hiking and racket sports, plus comfortable for lounging around. The lululemon Align High-Rise Shorts 8" check all of those boxes. They're insanely comfortable (like, incredibly so), super stretchy, and they're designed using sweat-wicking fabric, so they're fantastic for athletic days in the sun. Room for improvement: While the shorts are purposefully designed with minimal construction, I don't love that they don't have pockets. The hidden waistband pocket is fine for carrying cards, but if you want a place to store your phone, keys and other essentials, these aren't the shorts for you. Overall rating: 3.5/5 — KK $64 at lululemon
