I'm trying to find lululemon dupes or at least things at a somewhat similar quality with not the massive price tag.
I have a body shape that isn't all too common. I'm 5 ft 8, 150lbs. Fairly lean, but massive legs(and booty) from cycling way too much. I usually wear size small or medium for pants. 30x30. Although my waist is size 28. I just have to also fit my but. :L
I hate the way that standard fit pants look on me, but slim pants can be hit or miss because of the previously mentioned item in the bagging area.
For pants this is what I have found with reading old posts on the sub
All in motion golf pants at target - I plan on trying these out.
CRZ Yoga on Amazon
I personally have tried
32 degree pants(I believe 5 pocket) at Costco - Seem to be okay, texture can feel weird. Although I haven't worn much, so I don't know how it'll hold up.
Haggar Pants also at Costco - I've been wearing these the most at work and they're falling apart after about a 3 weeks of use. Just stitching coming undone. I always washed these in their own load following instructions.
If anyone has other recommendations for pants please let me know!
But that leads me to shirts.
I haven't done much in terms of getting new shirts for work. I realistically can get away with wearing almost anything. (yay for working IT) But I would really enjoy being able to wear some half decent button downs, preferably no iron. Does anyone have recommendations for those that don't cost $!00 plus or do I have to just bite the bullet and spend $100+ on a shirt?
Thank you all in advance for your help. I appreciate it. Make sure to have a good day even if you don't respond. :D

Lulu Dupe Detailed Review
This is a detailed review and comparison of a brand sold on Amazon that is known for making good lululemon alternatives
Brand: CRZ YOGA
Surge Joggers (M shorter version) - $42 Drysense shirt (license to train shirt)(L) - $26 Pace Breaker shorts (M 5 inch) - $28
I worked at Lululemon last year so I think of have a good understanding of these products. I decided to choose some of lulus most popular men’s items and compare them to the ones I had.
Honestly I was super impressed on the quality, design, and similarity of these item’s compared to lululemon.
I am 5’8” and 160 lbs. I wear a medium in bottoms and large in most tops at Lulu.
Review:
Surge Joggers: I was most impressed with how accurate these joggers were. In terms of looks and fit I’d give them a 9/10 with how accurate they are. The material is slightly thicker than Lulu surge joggers (which is almost better because lulu surge is so thin). The drawstring is on the outside where as on Lulu surge they’re on the inside.
Drysense Shirt: The material and design of this shirt LOOKS pretty close to the real thing, I’d say 8/10 in accuracy. I ordered a large and it fits a little bigger than my lulu large. The material I would rate 6/10 because it’s really thin and doesn’t seem as good of quality as my lulu. It also doesn’t have the “no stink zinc” technology that is in the Lulu shirts that keeps your shirt from smelling.
Pace Breaker shorts: These are great shorts for the gym. Looks pretty close to the real ones, I’d rate them a 8/10 with how similar they look. The material, I would say is a good quality. Slightly thicker than the Lulu Pace Breakers. The drawstrings are also on the outside on these where as on Lulu they’re on the inside.
How to buy: You can search in Amazon “CRZ YOGA” and click on their store but you can’t sort it by women’s and mens and they make a lot more women’s stuff (good idea for gifts for the gf, wife or mom). I typically search “CRZ YOGA men” to narrow it but you have to be careful because it will also advertise different brands in the mix. Just make sure you’re clicking on the ones that say “CRZ yoga” (screenshot provided)

Thank you, feel free to ask me questions!
I know we all love Lulu, but curious to hear about any dupes you’ve found recently that give Lulu a run for its money? I’ve heard Costco joggers and Amazon CRZ - any others? Feel free to include links so we can all browse :)
This is closest align jogger dupe I've found! The Colorfulkoala Dreamlux joggers ($34.99) on Amazon are almost the perfect Align jogger dupe—the style and fit are spot on. Their Dreamlux collection is super similar to Align too (81% nylon and 19% lycra). The material is buttery soft yet maintains athletic performance, similar to Nulu. And I love that these don’t have an elastic waistband, so no ‘muffin top’ situation. For reference, I’m 5'7" with long legs, and the inseam hits just right at my ankle. I wear a size 6 in the Align jogger and got a small in these—they fit true to size. The black logo is subtle and barely noticeable, which I love. I really can’t stand the round logo on most Lulu dupes!
