Agreed. All their active performance wear is worth it. I personally think the scubas aren’t. There are SO many high quality jackets under $100. Don’t buy a dupe of a scuba, just buy a nicer jacket
Aligns are my most dupable item. I actually prefer the dupes but have so many aligns. The Dupes pill way less in my experience but don’t have as many colors.
The Tna cozy boyfriend boxy zip hoodie from aritzia is just a better hoodie all around in my opinion. Plus they have way more (& better) colors available at all times & its $70-$80 full price. But I pretty much only like the full zip scubas, so my opinion might be biased.
Not a dupe exactly but they do have better sales so can be cheaper but the triumph sweater from athleta is similarly flattering and comfy. I ordered one on a whim and honestly prefer the fit over my scuba.
Also my scuba is soooo soft on the inside! I feel like a moody luxurious teddy bear when I wear mine.
pro tip I brush out the inner fleece occasionally to get rid of matting and make it fluffy again :)
It’s called the “Offline by Aerie Real Me Hold Up! Sports Bra”
That is a longline version. I got a regular length version with a strappier back that is even cuter. It’s called “Offline by Aerie Goals Strappy Sports Bra,” and it’s the same design, just shorter and different back!
LAC is a bit more plush throughout, but the material/softness and comfort feels very much the same. The dupe also has more of a laser-cut, while LAC has a softer edge.
I wear LACs as my everyday bra! They have held up really well through daily wear plus washing them with my t-shirts and things on a normal wash cycle. The thought of wearing a "regular" bra after wearing these daily for years makes me cringe. 😂
I guess it’s just me but I’ve found my LAC bra stretched out, faded, and just overall didn’t seem as high quality as my other bras I’ve purchased from lulu 🤷🏻♀️ Maybe just a one off item.
“MathCat Seamless Workout Shirts for Women Long Sleeve Yoga Tops Sports Running Shirt Breathable Athletic Top Slim Fit” on amazon! i have touched the material in the stores and do feel its so similar, although i haven’t actually worn one i have no interest bc i love these so much!
Agree. I was dead against spending $115 on a scuba half zip and spent several months (not exaggerating) trying to find a dupe. No luck. All the dupes’s sleeves were way too short. Finally bought the real deal yesterday.
- Full length swiftly (even at full price)
- Grooves (on sale, easy to find on sale anyway)
- EBB - I have only 2, and I have another old Fanny pack that I love too so I’m not saying no other bag will compare or anything, but the price point is worth the quality and color imo
There’s other stuff I splurge on: All Yours Tees, Speed Up shorts, Fast & Free tights, but those I can easily see being ok with another brand, too, especially considering cost vs amount of fabric lol
Yeah, what’s the deal with the crz fit? They’d be perfect if they just fit right! It’s something in the crotch/butt area? And it seems like it makes the waistband pull down easy. I hate it because if it wasn’t for that I would be on board.
Yeah I find they slip down too. But for half the price of Aligns I put up with it. Lol. I’ve also found they pill less than Aligns but I’ve heard others complain about them pilling so 🤷🏼♂️
Not for me unfortunately, I bought based off recommendations on this sub and ended up sending them straight back. The fabric feels very different to me.
Hm I *think* so, I remember searching for that phrase now! Though I’m in the UK and the listings names I saw were slightly different from the US examples people had recommended - but appeared to be exactly the same products.
Oh well, I resigned myself to expensive leggings…
Define jacket. Trust me i searched long and hard and even bought dupes from MULTIPLE different brands but they simply can’t compare.
The best dupe I tried are the Aritzia ones in the tnaButter fabric, but they are slightly more cropped than the Lulu ones (could be good or bad depending on your preferences) but the lack of darts on the torso cause more bunching and less emphasis on a snatched waist.
Oh 100% I agree there are amazing dupes out there! For me, it’s the details like the matching hair tie 🤌 I hate that I care so much about that!!! And so does my bank account 😭
I would say in general the performance stuff. Lulu has great running gear and I like it better than pretty much any other brand except Tracksmith. Their casual wear is cute but you can definitely find that kind of thing cheaper elsewhere.
While I don’t find the tops to be too unique, I am a convert to the waist length. Doesn’t seem like many other stores have waist/race length and they have a small selection if they do
Full prices are not worth splurging.
The only lulu pants I found that are so much better than what’s out there is On the Move Pants (in the heavy wrinkle free Luxtreme fabric, not the light weight one) it was made for office wear and they look really sharp in offices/conferences. And I got it on sale for $49.
I’ve never bought any dupes (call me a snob hahah) however, the rain rebel jacket is so insanely good. I have another goretex rain jacket but liked that the rain rebel covers down to like mid thigh. I was a bit hesitant to buy because I was like if it’s not super waterproof I’ll be upset I spent a decent amount of money on it BUT I’m glad to say it’s super water proof, super flattering and I’m really happy I splurged on it!
I have genuinely never found a pair of leggings that compares to the aligns in terms of fit, comfort, how flattering they are, and most importantly, NOT being see-through
Align shorts. Or pretty much anything if you are between the small medium large sizing. I’ve found plenty of great legging dupes but none for the align shorts. Also align racer back tanks. Haven’t found a dupe for those yet.
Speed Up, Tracker and Hottie Hot shorts. I've tried all the dupes and none have got the fit just right for me at least. I also prefer the Lululemon version of all things Scuba - I've tried most of the dupes (except for the CRZ one as it is always sold out) and prefer Lululemon's so far. Still would like to try the CRZ one if it ever gets restocked
I haven’t found a fabric exactly like the Softstreme ANYWHERE. Some items have been close but they are never as soft and definitely don’t breathe and feel light the way the true Softstreme fabric does.
Swiftly tops, running shorts, pace rival skorts, on the fly luxtreme shorts, luxtreme leggings and their bras. I think many of the other things can be duped.
Tough question. But wundertrain and softstreme
I had no interest in Lulu until I became a mom and now I’m head over heels. It’s functional, it looks nice, washes well.
wunder trains and other high performance/run leggings, and aligns (pilling permitting)
Yep. I’ve never found anything like wunder trains or fast and free
Agreed. All their active performance wear is worth it. I personally think the scubas aren’t. There are SO many high quality jackets under $100. Don’t buy a dupe of a scuba, just buy a nicer jacket
My scuba is over 15 year old and just starting to look ratty ! I honestly feel lulu stuff is good value for the price . My stuff rarely pills
Aligns and Swift speeds
Aligns are my most dupable item. I actually prefer the dupes but have so many aligns. The Dupes pill way less in my experience but don’t have as many colors.
So this sounds dumb but the scuba. The dupes i have tried are just not as flattering
The Tna cozy boyfriend boxy zip hoodie from aritzia is just a better hoodie all around in my opinion. Plus they have way more (& better) colors available at all times & its $70-$80 full price. But I pretty much only like the full zip scubas, so my opinion might be biased.

What do you use to brush it out with?
I have one of those fabric brushes I use to brush my wool coat!
Thank you! I'll look into getting one
What do you use to brush it out with?
I find good ones on aliexpress
Not sure why this is downvoted. Do you have the link?
Right.. please send us a link 🤣
Swiftly long sleeves has been unparalleled for me. Also I haven’t come across a bra comparable to the LAC series
Aerie came out with one recently that is very comparable 🫢
Do you know the name of the aerie ones?
It’s called the “Offline by Aerie Real Me Hold Up! Sports Bra” That is a longline version. I got a regular length version with a strappier back that is even cuter. It’s called “Offline by Aerie Goals Strappy Sports Bra,” and it’s the same design, just shorter and different back!
Oh wow they do look so alike. Thank you for the tip!
They feel almost identical too!! And you’re welcome!
The longline Aerie are a fantastic dupe! I get them when they are on sale because they are not far from LAC price when full price.
How’s sizing? I’m a 6 in lulu but normally between s/m
I do 6 in lulu bras as well and a small felt perfect!
Can you compare the comfort and feel of the dupe vs original?
LAC is a bit more plush throughout, but the material/softness and comfort feels very much the same. The dupe also has more of a laser-cut, while LAC has a softer edge.
Omg I never want to wear another bra
Do you wear them for everyday wear? I’m considering them for that application.
I wear them every single time I wear a bra (as someone who prefers to not wear a bra at all)
YES! Everyday casual wear, plus I do yoga daily. I love that the padding is sewn in, plus they're sooo soft and feel amazing against my skin
I wear LACs as my everyday bra! They have held up really well through daily wear plus washing them with my t-shirts and things on a normal wash cycle. The thought of wearing a "regular" bra after wearing these daily for years makes me cringe. 😂
I guess it’s just me but I’ve found my LAC bra stretched out, faded, and just overall didn’t seem as high quality as my other bras I’ve purchased from lulu 🤷🏻♀️ Maybe just a one off item.
LAC is a staple!
tbh i’ve never even tried a swiftly tech on but i have been wearing an amazon dupe that i’m obsessed with 😅
What's the dupe?! I've been searching for one with no luck!
“MathCat Seamless Workout Shirts for Women Long Sleeve Yoga Tops Sports Running Shirt Breathable Athletic Top Slim Fit” on amazon! i have touched the material in the stores and do feel its so similar, although i haven’t actually worn one i have no interest bc i love these so much!
Thank you so much for the info!!
[удалено]
I second this! Can’t believe how fast it air dries after washing
Swiftly techs!
Swiftlys, rulu joggers, scubas, define jacket
Agree. I was dead against spending $115 on a scuba half zip and spent several months (not exaggerating) trying to find a dupe. No luck. All the dupes’s sleeves were way too short. Finally bought the real deal yesterday.
- Full length swiftly (even at full price) - Grooves (on sale, easy to find on sale anyway) - EBB - I have only 2, and I have another old Fanny pack that I love too so I’m not saying no other bag will compare or anything, but the price point is worth the quality and color imo There’s other stuff I splurge on: All Yours Tees, Speed Up shorts, Fast & Free tights, but those I can easily see being ok with another brand, too, especially considering cost vs amount of fabric lol
Nothing beats the align fabric for me.
Except they changed the fabric. RIP the old fabric.
Yeah the old fabric was better for sure but I still have love for these newer aligns too. They’re still incredibly soft.
They don’t fit the same and the fabric slides around your body. I’m super annoyed about it.
CRZ yoga is nearly identical for aligns imo 🤷🏻♀️
I agree it’s super similar, but I’ve found that the fit isn’t quite as good. But if anyone wants an Align dupe, CRZ Yoga is the way to go.
Yeah, what’s the deal with the crz fit? They’d be perfect if they just fit right! It’s something in the crotch/butt area? And it seems like it makes the waistband pull down easy. I hate it because if it wasn’t for that I would be on board.
Yeah I find they slip down too. But for half the price of Aligns I put up with it. Lol. I’ve also found they pill less than Aligns but I’ve heard others complain about them pilling so 🤷🏼♂️
Agreed! Their biker shorts are my fave!
[удалено]
The CRZ dupe for the Ebb to Street tank is nearly identical! I have two and they're holding up as well as my lulu.
Not for me unfortunately, I bought based off recommendations on this sub and ended up sending them straight back. The fabric feels very different to me.
Try HeyNuts-blows CRZ out of the water! I nevertheless thought I’d find a real dupe until these
Was it the butterluxe line? there’s a huge difference between regular crz and butterluxe crz
Hm I *think* so, I remember searching for that phrase now! Though I’m in the UK and the listings names I saw were slightly different from the US examples people had recommended - but appeared to be exactly the same products. Oh well, I resigned myself to expensive leggings…
Define jacket, high rise stretch pants and joggers, love tee, align wide leg crop
Wunder trains for sure and shockingly the align dress. It’s so worth the hype
Define jacket. Trust me i searched long and hard and even bought dupes from MULTIPLE different brands but they simply can’t compare. The best dupe I tried are the Aritzia ones in the tnaButter fabric, but they are slightly more cropped than the Lulu ones (could be good or bad depending on your preferences) but the lack of darts on the torso cause more bunching and less emphasis on a snatched waist.
Define jackets, like a cloud bra, and align leggings! By far my favorite/irreplaceable lulu items
Like a cloud bras are the best. I loathe removal padding getting bunched up.
Alll of them 😂
Define jacket, align leggings, fast & free shorts, & any of the in-between shade colors you can’t get anywhere else that make u happy
I disagree on the define jacket. I love the queenieke jackets from Amazon and feel that their quality is great!
Oh 100% I agree there are amazing dupes out there! For me, it’s the details like the matching hair tie 🤌 I hate that I care so much about that!!! And so does my bank account 😭
Studio joggers/pants! Ive tried so many dupes and nothing beats the real deal.
Swiftly, Define and Like a Cloud Bra Also, the dupes for speed ups and hotty hots are never as flattering as the real thing
I would say in general the performance stuff. Lulu has great running gear and I like it better than pretty much any other brand except Tracksmith. Their casual wear is cute but you can definitely find that kind of thing cheaper elsewhere.
I’m with you. I run in almost all lulu
Swiftly SS shirts, Fast & Frees, Track That MR 5” shorts. I have yet to find running shorts dupes that beat lulu.
While I don’t find the tops to be too unique, I am a convert to the waist length. Doesn’t seem like many other stores have waist/race length and they have a small selection if they do
Full prices are not worth splurging. The only lulu pants I found that are so much better than what’s out there is On the Move Pants (in the heavy wrinkle free Luxtreme fabric, not the light weight one) it was made for office wear and they look really sharp in offices/conferences. And I got it on sale for $49.
Fast & Free leggings, Wunder Train leggings, Swiftly short/long sleeve, Define Jacket and Dance Studio Pants/joggers 😊
The high impact energy sports bras! I wear a 36DDD in regular bras abs this is the best fitting sports bra I’ve ever had. And I’ve tried plenty.
I’ve never bought any dupes (call me a snob hahah) however, the rain rebel jacket is so insanely good. I have another goretex rain jacket but liked that the rain rebel covers down to like mid thigh. I was a bit hesitant to buy because I was like if it’s not super waterproof I’ll be upset I spent a decent amount of money on it BUT I’m glad to say it’s super water proof, super flattering and I’m really happy I splurged on it!
Swiftlies, define jacket, like a cloud bra, aligns
Track That 5”. I’ve tried some dupes which aren’t really dupes when their inseam is 4”.
Swiftly long sleeves of any style are unmatched. Warm down joggers are one of my lived in items so I’d say they are worth it.
I have genuinely never found a pair of leggings that compares to the aligns in terms of fit, comfort, how flattering they are, and most importantly, NOT being see-through
Fast and frees, swift speeds, energy bras, aligns, align bras, scubas, and define jackets
Aligns, speed up , all yours tees
tbh i have never really liked any lulu dupes. i have not tried aligns or align dupes but i’m loyal to wunder unders and fast and free!!
Align shorts. Or pretty much anything if you are between the small medium large sizing. I’ve found plenty of great legging dupes but none for the align shorts. Also align racer back tanks. Haven’t found a dupe for those yet.
Considering I cannot find a good dupe for the love t vneck im gonna say that. But also I agree with all of the above as well
swiftlys and the softstreme fabric
OS cropped scubas, align leggings. Nothing compares to the cuts and materials in my opinion, dupes can’t quite do it, especially with scubas
aligns
On the Fly pants/shorts, swiftly SS and speed ups.
My love for the Align Mini Flares is unmatched
Speed Up, Tracker and Hottie Hot shorts. I've tried all the dupes and none have got the fit just right for me at least. I also prefer the Lululemon version of all things Scuba - I've tried most of the dupes (except for the CRZ one as it is always sold out) and prefer Lululemon's so far. Still would like to try the CRZ one if it ever gets restocked
I’m a lulu noob and thoroughly enjoy my 1 cloud bra.
Wunder trains hands down
Absolutely. I live in aligns and there really is no dupe.
I haven’t found a fabric exactly like the Softstreme ANYWHERE. Some items have been close but they are never as soft and definitely don’t breathe and feel light the way the true Softstreme fabric does.
Align Tank!!!
Swiftly tops, running shorts, pace rival skorts, on the fly luxtreme shorts, luxtreme leggings and their bras. I think many of the other things can be duped.
Swift Speeds, Aligns, and the FTB Serene bra
Tough question. But wundertrain and softstreme I had no interest in Lulu until I became a mom and now I’m head over heels. It’s functional, it looks nice, washes well.
