Karl Lagerfeld might have once said that sweatpants are a sign of defeat, but the ever-growing activewear industry begs to differ. Buttery-soft leggings and fan-favorite belt bags are only a few items of note from cult-favorite brand lululmeon. From countless trending products, to free vending machines filled with running supplies and even promising customers a free pair of leggings in exchange for their dupes, it's no wonder lululemon is a brand adored by many.

So who should you buy them for? Well, we all have that one runner in our lives who always needs a new pair of leggings, or maybe your bestie loves nothing more than a good cozy sweatshirt—the options for holiday (or even year-round) gifts really are endless at lululemon. To help narrow it down to truly the best, I turned to a yoga instructor, a series of exercise enthusiasts and a self-proclaimed couch potato, all of whom wear lululemon on the reg, for their opinions on the brand’s must-have gifts, from a cool update on lululemon's beloved belt bag to a pair of cozy sweatpants the guy in your life will want to wear 24/7.

Best Gift for Women

1. lululemon Wunder Train Contour Fit Tights

lululemon

If you’re a total gym rat, you probably have a favorite pair of leggings for whatever type of workout you're doing. These are former Commerce Editor Olivia Dubyak’s favorite pair for HIIT workouts. “When I’m in my Solid Core classes or am doing some circuit training on my Peloton app, these are the leggings I always grab,” she says. “They always stay up, so I’m not constantly readjusting them, and they keep my waist snatched and supported, which always makes me feel good. Plus, the breathability is great, especially in crowded group fitness classes.”

Best Gift for Men

2. lululemon ABC Classic-Fit Pants

lululemon

Pants that look like office-appropriate trousers but feel like joggers? Sign us up. The ABC pant is made with abrasion-resistant Utilitech material to hold up to daily wear, and features what the brand calls a “just-right” fit, balancing comfort and style. Per one reviewer, “The pants are a nice fit, not too slim and very comfortable! I would suggest if you consider your usual length you may wish to consider one length up ie: I usually take a 32” length but found them too short (above the ankle), so I ordered 34” length...perfect.”

  • Size Range: US 28 to 40

“It seems kind of random, but I use this belt bag all the time, whether I’m taking my dog to the park or heading to the grocery store,” says a happy lululemon shopper. “It goes with practically any outfit.” The 1-liter size is just big enough to hold the essentials: your phone, wallet, keys and a bottle of hand sanitizer. Just know, this belt bag is a hot commodity and tends to sell out often—so if you want to ensure you have one sitting under your Christmas tree, I’d say snap it up while you still can.

Best Men's Training Shorts

4. lululemon License to Train Linerless Shorts

lululumeon

This one’s for the active man in your life. Whether he’s lifting or jogging (or both), these shorts can definitely be worn for most activities because of their active-adaptable fabric for breathability and stretch. Dubyak's husband prefers to lounge in them. “They’re super comfortable to the point that they’ve made their way to becoming my most worn shorts around the house,” he says.

Best Outerwear

5. lululemon Wunder Puff Cropped Vest

lululemon

With 4.3 out of 5 stars based on more than 850 reviews, this cropped vest is a fan favorite for a reason. Buyers rave about how easy it is to dress up or down, and love the trendy cropped length. One customer writes, “Buying this vest was the best purchase I could have ever made. It’s so cute and basically goes with everything...Not to mention it’s also incredibly warm for cold and windy days. It looked a bit big at first, but since it had a cinch at the waist it was fixed! I highly recommend for colder fall days!”

Best Leggings for Yoga

6. lululemon Align Pants

lululemon

“I thought these leggings were overhyped until I got a pair,” says one reviewer who is a self-proclaimed couch potato. “But they’re truly as buttery-soft and comfortable as everyone says. I don’t really work out, so I love wearing these as loungewear. Most of the time I choose them over my favorite pair of joggers—they’re that comfy.” Roberts adds, “I particularly love these because I can concentrate less on pulling my pants up. They stay put.” FYI:  The white and light colors are lined for extra coverage, which adds a slightly thicker feel to them.

Best Pullover Hoodie

10. lululemon Scuba Oversized Half-Zip Hoodie

lululemon

“OK, $118 for a hoodie is definitely a splurge in my book, but I wore my regular scuba hoodie all the time, so once I saw that lululemon came out with this oversize version, I knew I needed it,” one reviewer admits. It’s made of a super-thick but cozy cotton/polyester mix, and is cropped to hit just above your waist. The lightweight warmth of the fleece fabric makes it a great option for chilly nights.

Fast Facts

Best Unisex Joggers

11. lululemon Steady State Relaxed-Fit Joggers

lululemon

Yes, these joggers are listed as a men’s style, but tons of reviewers say they work just as well for women, making them a great unisex option that beautifully combines utility with style. Crafted for all activities, whether you like running, yoga or lounging at home, these joggers are made with a sweat-wicking fabric that ensures you stay dry and comfortable. One female customer, who struggled finding sweatpants that flattered her curvy silhouette in the women’s section, notes that these “fit like a dream! I love that all the pockets have zippers too,” she writes.

Fast Facts

Best Tank Top

12. lululemon Align Racerback Tank Top

lululemon

This sleek tank is a great gift idea for devoted fans of the Align leggings. The racerback allows for full range of motion in the arms, and the higher neck provides coverage without adding too much excess fabric. And because it’s made of that same buttery-soft Align material, you can bet it’s comfortable, breathable and sure to become a favorite very quickly. As for sizing, it is designed for a slim fit, so if you prefer a bit more wiggle room you may want to go up one or two sizes from your usual.

FAST FACTS

  • Size Range: US 0 to 14 (some colors available up to size 20)

Best Carryall Bag

13. lululemon 3-in-1 Gym Duffle Bag

lululemon

This three-in-one duffle easily converts from gym bag to weekender duffle to yoga mat carrier. It has a lower compartment ideal for stowing shoes or dirty gym clothes separate from the rest of the bag, which has a 30-liter capacity so you can toss in everything you’ll need for a weekend away without stressing over space. And it’s water repellant, too!

Best Lightweight Joggers

14. lululemon Dance Studio Mid-Rise Jogger

lululemon

Meet the lululemon Dance Studio pants that caught the eye of Senior Editor Dana Dickey. “I just spied a fancy lady wearing these at a health resort and I was so impressed by how they managed to look so nature-chic. They hung like nice pants but could also give enough stretch for her to do a yoga or dance class. Plus, the hem has a drawcord that can be bunched up or released to look like a pair of what my mom calls ‘slacks.’ Also, the mid rise looks so fresh after all the high rises we have been served for so long now.” Indeed, the mid-rise waist and combo straight/cinched-leg design deliver a flattering and versatile fit that manages to remain totally zen.

Fast Facts

  • Size Range: US 0 to 20

Best Running Sneakers

15. lululemon Blissfeel Running Shoe

lululemon

These shoes were designed with a woman-centric fit and cushioning profile, with a more refined upper that extends through the heel for a “cradled sensation,” and a durable, segmented outsole ideal for running long and hard distances. To see how they held up on the road, I tapped Executive Managing Editor and avid runner, Catrina Yohay, for her thoughts. “I’m obsessed with the construction of the blissfeel 2,” she tells me. “It provides noticeably more structure than the original iteration, but is just as light, springy and flexible.” The 3D-molded mid-foot also hugs your foot while supporting your stride. FYI, those with a wider foot should consider going up a half size.

Fast Facts

  • Size Range: US 5 to 12

Most Chic Bag

16. lululemon Slouchy Sling Bag

lululemon

This curved everyday bag is a totally cool addition to any handbag collection, and sure to become a favorite in your BFFs rotation. It comes in three colors—pale pink, brown and black—and has an adjustable shoulder strap, large zippered compartment and multiple smaller zippered pockets. It’s made of recycled nylon, so it weighs practically nothing and is very easy to stuff in a suitcase or duffle for traveling.

Best Lightweight Hoodie

22. lululemon License to Train Hoodie

lululemon

According to reviews, this is the ideal workout hoodie or lightweight layer to throw on during a chilly night. Though it's marketed as a men’s hoodie, it’s really one that can be worn by all. “These are warm enough when it’s cold, while not being too warm for a work out. (I can wear these for a whole 50-minute spin class),” reports one customer. A few others note that they tend to run a bit small, so sizing up may be a good idea.

Fast Facts

  • Size Range: XS to XXXL

Best Overall Sports Bra

23. lululemon Energy High-Support Bra

lululemon

Per Dubyak, “I have a larger chest, and this bra really kept me supported while I was training for a half marathon. I don’t feel any pain from movement and I don’t have any boob spillage at the top or sides either.” It also boasts adjustable straps, multiple hook-and-eye settings and decent coverage. While the fabric feels cool and sleek on the inside for extra sweaty workouts, it's soft and brushed on the outside. It also has shape retention, and the fabric is designed for peak sweat-wicking and breathability.

Fast Facts

  • Size Range: Cup Sizes B to DDD and Band Sizes 32 to 40

Coziest Sweatpants

24. lululemon Scuba Wide-Leg Pants

lululemon

There’s nothing like slipping on a cozy pair of sweats on a cold winter day, and this wide-leg pair is one of the best I’ve ever tried. Casual yet chic, these sweatpants boast a tailored, straight-leg silhouette and are made with a plush velvet material that’s oh-so comfy and cozy for lounging around. Assistant Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera says, “I love the thickness of lululemon’s Scuba fabrics, and the 28-inch inseam length is perfect for my short legs, so I’ve got my eye on these wide-leg pants. Plus, this gorgeous burgundy color feels perfect for winter.” Rich, durable material and a great length for shorter gals? Say less.

Fast Facts

  • Size Range: XXXS to XL

Best Biker Shorts

25. lululemon Align High-Rise Short 

lululemon

Says PureWow Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint, “I love wearing these for a run...and then not taking them off until it’s time to pick my kids up from school. They’re that versatile and fast-drying!” These chic bike shorts are made of the same beloved fabric as the full-length Align leggings, so you can bet they’ll be every bit as comfortable as you hope. They come in four inseam lengths—2, 4, 6 and 8 inches—so you can find the ideal fit for your body, and there’s a hidden waistband pocket to stow small items like your keys or ID.

Fast Facts

  • Size Range: US 0 to 20

Best Training Sneakers

26. lululemon Strongfeel Training Shoe

lululemon

These sneakers were designed specifically for training sessions and have a lightweight, balanced construction to ensure stability and optimal support during your workouts. They were also designed based on the female foot for a better fit and feel.

Best Leggings with Pockets

27. lululemon Fast and Free Leggings with Pockets

lululemon

Finding a pair of leggings that actually stays put while you are working your butt off is no small feat, but it’s safe to say that these pass the squat test. They’re designed to be super breathable, so your sweat is being adsorbed into the fabric during your intense workout instead of just sitting on top of the fabric. “I love lululemon’s Fast and Free line because it’s just so lightweight,” says Fashion Editor Abby Hepworth. “TMI, but I am basically the sweatiest person I know and therefore can’t stand leggings that are thicker or more substantial in weight.”

Fast Facts

  • Size Range: US 0 to 20

Best Ready-to-Wear Knit

28. lululemon Cashmere Slim-Fit Cardigan

lululemon

Did you know lululemon makes cashmere? This luxuriously soft cardigan is part of the brand’s newest launch into ready-to-wear clothing and is not designed for workouts, but instead for looking and feeling fabulous on your rest days. The slightly cropped fit hits right at the hips and looks gorgeous with high-waist jeans, slip skirts and, of course your beloved Align leggings. P.S. It also comes in black if you want something a bit more subtle.

Fast Facts

  • Size Range: XS to XL

Best for Taming Flyaways

29. lululemon Wunder Train Wide Headband

lululemon

An excellent stocking stuffer or Secret Santa pick, this sleek headband has a tapered shape so it is thinner in back and wider in front to ensure it stays put no matter how intense the workout. It’s made with lululemon's signature Luxtreme fabric which is sweat-wicking and has velvet on the inside to help keep your hair in place without pulling it.

Fast Facts

  • Size Range: one size

Best for Recovery

30. lululemon Restfeel Slides

lululemon

If your giftee is big on poolside sports, mat sports like jiu jitsu or simply doesn't believe in constricting their toes, these slides are just the thing. They have heel-to-toe rubber traction, so even if they’re in sweaty or wet areas, they’ll stay firmly in place, no slipping. They also have a minimalist strap upper with foam lining for an a comfortable fit and feel, come in all sorts of cute colors, and I love the subtle brand logo on the side.

Fast Facts

  • Size Range: US 5 to 12
