Like so many other lululemon shoppers, I'm a big fan of the cult-favorite Align leggings, so when I saw that reviewers were saying the brand's new Glow Up collection might be even better, I was immediately intrigued. The collection consists of leggingsa tank top and a onsie, all made from a new Ultralu fabric that's intended to be supportive, sculpting and, of course, heavenly soft. And according to early reviews, the designs effortlessly stay in place through all sorts of workouts. Sounds to me like the Glow Up collection is worthy of giving your athleisure collection a serious glow up. Here's what you need to know about each piece.

lululemon designed the new Glow Up leggings specifically to define your waist and keep you supported through any type of workout. They have a super high rise and, per the brand, an innovative waistband that holds you in—and it's safe to say, buyers are *impressed.* "I’ve worn these for walks, yoga and strength. They do not roll down at all. No adjustments needed while moving. Amazing fabric. I’m a huge Align fan and might make a full time switch," shares one shopper. Another says, "They are *so* flattering and don’t move at all, even during tough leg days and skiing! They honestly fix everything I didn’t love about my Align leggings, which was that they just slip right off since my butt/thighs are larger than my waist. These do not fall off!"

Made to provide medium support to B and C cups, this sleek tank is bound to be one you wear on repeat. It has a flattering (but not too low) scoop neck and that same smooth-yet-supportive feel as the leggings above. One shopper even says she loves it more than her usual go-to Align tank: "Love love love this tank! The material feels a lot more secure and holds me in better than the Align tank. It is also longer and doesn’t show as much cleavage...The seam down the front and sides is flattering and a nice design detail. Will definitely be getting more of these!" I have a feeling I'll be picking it up in multiples myself.

Is there anything better than throwing on a single item and being ready to go? If you ask me, the answer is no—so obviously I'm eyeing this cute onsie that's perfect for low-impact activities like yoga or walking my pup. One of my personal favorite features? It has a cutout at the back so when you're exercising or taking a walk once the weather warms, you won't be left with sweat marks all over your back (an issue I *always* have when it comes to workout dresses).
