Best Lululemon ‘We Made Too Much’ Finds

Align High-rise Pant 28-inch

lululemon

Designed to feel like a second skin, the buttery-soft, lightweight Align High-rise Pant is one of the brand’s best-selling styles, with over 11,000 five-star reviews and counting. The stretchy fabric allows for a full range of motion and remains in place through every downward dog and tree pose. Shoppers adore how easy these are to style for workouts and everyday wear alike, dubbing them their “all-time favorite pants for lounging, traveling, or even dinner with a sweater.”

My favorite feature is that they boast deep side pockets to stash your cell phone, earbuds, and credit cards. Right now, they’re only $49, so you can stock up on more than one of the nearly 30 different colors available. 

Softstreme High-rise Straight-leg Cropped Pant

lululemon

Intended to hit just below the calf, these pants are a dream come true for petite travelers thanks to their cropped 24-inch inseam. The Softstreme High-rise Straight-leg Cropped Pant is crafted from the brand’s unbelievably peachy-soft Softstreme fabric, which has a weighty drape that lends a luxurious, elevated touch to pants cozy enough to sleep in. Shoppers agree, with one highlighting their winning combination of style and comfort, writing, “These pants feel like loungewear—they’re incredibly soft and comfortable, yet versatile enough to be dressed up or down.” They’re perfect for the airport, the hotel lobby, and everywhere in between. 

Crinkle Nylon Cinchable Jacket

It can be hard to find a lightweight, water-resistant layer that’s both fashionable and functional, but the Crinkle Nylon Cinchable Jacket blends the best of both worlds. It’s ultra-packable, given that the crinkly nylon fabric hides wrinkles beautifully, even after you’ve balled this up into a carry-on. Thoughtful design additions like a cinchable waistband offer a sultry silhouette with the tug of a drawcord, while hand pockets and a hidden card sleeve keep your travel essentials in easy reach.

It’s currently $99, which feels like a worthwhile splurge based on how versatile this piece is—particularly in black, which would be easy to pair with everything in your travel wardrobe and could easily be dressed up for a more elevated evening look.

Everywhere Belt Bag 1L Knit Mesh

lululemon

For a stylish, hands-free way to keep your essentials close, the Everywhere Belt Bag is a travel must. Crafted from sporty mesh that’s made from 100 percent recycled polyester, this casual crossbody allows you to go totally hands-free—it’s perfect for getting around airports, train stations, or busy city streets. Multiple pockets help streamline organization as well, with a discreet zippered pocket on the back that keeps your cash or cards secure. Inside, there’s a pouch to neatly store your phone, passport, earbuds, and other small items. Despite its small size, this portable bag boasts a one-liter capacity that can carry all of your daily travel essentials, combining convenience, security, and style for anyone on the move. 

All Aligned Ribbed Long-sleeve Henley Dress

lululemon

A performance dress that’s comfortable enough to wear on a flight and cute enough to wear out to dinner? Sign me up. The All Aligned Ribbed Long-sleeve Henley Dress is made from a soft, ribbed Nulu fabric that’s sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and equipped with plenty of stretch to keep you comfortable on the road and at home. This is a choose-your-own-adventure layer that’s perfect for travel—it can be worn buttoned up, left undone, or layered under a sweater to make it look like you packed a miniskirt as well. The fabric is body-skimming without feeling clingy, and the length hits right around the knees—it’s flattering while still offering plenty of coverage. 

Fast and Free High-rise Tight 25-inch 5-pocket 

lululemon

Five might just be the magic number when it comes to how many pockets I want at any given time, particularly when I’m traveling and want to explore hands-free. Luckily, the Fast and Free High-rise Tight has two side pockets and three waistband pockets to secure your keys, earbuds, phone, credit cards, and more, whether you’re lounging or logging a tough workout. The sweat-wicking material is so sleek and lightweight that you’ll barely notice it’s there—one shopper praised it as “a second skin” which moves “effortlessly with every workout. Whether I’m stretching, lifting, or just running errands, they stay perfectly in place,” they continued, adding that they’re “worth every penny!” I love that the four different inseam lengths—19, 23, 25, and 28 inches—make it easy to find your perfect fit. 

Leather Alternative Crossbody Bag 1.5L 

lululemon

Sleek, small, and highly adjustable, the Leather Alternative Crossbody Bag is a stylish addition to any thoughtfully curated travel wardrobe. It’s pretty and it offers peace of mind, thanks to slip pockets on the front and back, interior compartments to organize your belongings, and a sturdy turn-lock closure for street-smart security. I love that it’s made from a more sustainable leather alternative, which is easy to keep clean with a damp cloth. The adjustable straps of the bag are sturdy and easy to adjust, so you can comfortably wear this over-the-shoulder or as a crossbody bag for maximum outfit versatility. 

Women’s CrossCity Sneaker

lululemon

Finally, a city-friendly sneaker that properly blends style and comfort—and for under $80. I love the lightweight CrossCity Sneaker, which is enhanced with performance-grade cushioning without looking orthopedic, and boasts a padded heel, pull tabs for easy on-and-off, and a no-slip tongue that stays in place as you get your steps in. Hilly cities like San Francisco and Istanbul are no match for the raised tread pattern on these, which provides all-day traction and steady ankle support.  

Cotton Pointelle Cropped Cami

lululemon

This darling pointelle cami is giving major ‘90s vibes, and I’m here for it. The cropped cut and adjustable straps make it easy to find your most flattering and comfortable fit, whether you’re wearing this as a cozy pajama layer or a trendy going-out top. Shoppers love how breathable and soft the material is, and are obsessed with the delicate scalloped detailing around the neckline. Note that the lighter shades run slightly sheer. 

Cotton-blend Double-knit Oversized Hoodie

lululemon

Introducing your newest in-flight and post-workout companion: the oversized Cotton-blend Double-knit Oversized Hoodie. This slouchy hoodie is as practical as it is cute, with two roomy front pockets and a hidden phone sleeve for keeping your essentials on hand. The length hits just below the butt, which is ideal for cozying up in a chilly airplane cabin or after a sweaty hot yoga session. I love that the luxe fabric is substantial and sweat-wicking, with a cool-to-the-touch handfeel that’s soft against skin. I’m eyeing it in the trendy sequoia shade while it’s only $89. 

Hold Tight Long-sleeve Henley

lululemon

Fall weather demands a goes-everywhere long-sleeve T-shirt, and the Hold Tight Henley is one of my top picks. The lightweight modal fabric is comfortable and breathable enough to wear on its own, but it works great as a base under sweaters and jackets as well. One shopper raved that the top is super flattering for anyone with a larger bust, noting that buttons don’t gap, and that the versatile layer is “great for being active, dressing up for work, or even casual wear.”

Reversible Crossover Sweater

lululemon

I’m all about versatile pieces that pull double duty when I travel, which is why the Lululemon Reversible Crossover Sweater is going straight into my cart while it’s still $79. While both sides feature a classic crew neckline, one hemline has a flirty crossover detail that you can wear forwards or backwards to switch things up. The sweater effortlessly transitions from casual loungewear to a polished night-out look—I’d pair it with high-waisted pants (like the Stretch Space High-rise Pant below!) and slingbacks. It’s a particularly great addition to any fall wardrobe, as the soft, breathable cotton-blend fabric is easy to layer over a tee or slip under a jacket. 

Micro Cable Merino Wool Hooded Cardigan

lululemon

This might just be my favorite find on the Lululemon “We Made Too Much” section—a flirty, preppy cardigan that’s crafted from high-quality merino wool and boasts a super-soft hood. Wear it solo for a more seductive look or layered over a top for cozy coverage—better yet, spring for the matching skirt for a packable, flattering travel set. Merino wool is one of my favorite fall fabrics, as it’s naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and helps to regulate temperature, which is perfect for keeping cool when moving between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Stretch Space High-rise Pant 

lululemon

Our new favorite travel pant just entered the chat—and at $49, we’re scooping it up in all the seasonal shades. The Stretch Space High-rise Pant looks polished but feels like pajamas—shoppers love traveling in them, with one reviewer writing, “I recently wore them on a long haul flight and they were comfortable and looked great upon arrival at my destination.” They added they were “impressed with the material and fit” of the pants, and we couldn’t agree more—especially given that they’re made from quick-drying, sweat-wicking, oh-so-breathable fabric that’s soft to the touch. And petite travelers like myself will love that these are no-hemming-required, thanks to their 7/8 length that ends in a cheeky kick flare right below the calf. 

Satin Midi Skirt 

lululemon

This sophisticated, stretchy Satin Midi Skirt is a dreamy wardrobe staple that’s suited to all seasons, whether you’re layering it with sheer tights and a cashmere sweater for a holiday party or pairing it with a tank top and sneakers for a laid-back summer look. The fabric’s elegant drape and glossy sheen are sure to land you several compliments—and for $59, this jersey-lined skirt is a steal. Best of all? It’s machine washable and shakes out wrinkles quite well—an ideal travel companion, if you ask me.
