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
