12 Lululemon ‘We Made Too Much Section’ Finds I Wish Were Already in My Suitcase — From $19

As a longtime health and fitness writer, I’ve had the privilege of testing out a wide spectrum of activewear — and Lululemon continues to prevail as one of my favorites. But my reverence didn’t begin once I started my career; I’ve been a fan of Lululemon ever since high school (when they were still pretty new to the U.S. market). I remember saving all of my pennies to buy one of their “I <3 Running” water bottles (which perfectly captured my cross-country athlete identity at the time, duh). 

Fast-forward a good 17 years, and I’ve worn the brand during so many big moments in my life: hitting personal bests in a race, taking big steps in my career, and traveling all over the world. All this to say, I’ve tested a lot of Lulu gear — from leggings to tanks to jackets, and everything in between — and honed in on my favorites from the brand. And when I'm looking to add new pieces to my wardrobe, I always check the “We Made Too Much” section's under-the-radar curation of clothes, outerwear, and accessories. After pouring through Lululemon's current inventory, I’ve scoped out the 12 items I’m eyeing for future trips — and they're all starting at just $19.

Pleated Open-knit High-rise Tennis Skirt

It’s looking like the "tenniscore" trend is here to stay (looking at you, "Challengers" movie), and I’m here for it. For instance, I love this classic pleated tennis skirt look — both for, you know, playing tennis, and also with a cute little T-shirt and sneakers while out and about. This is the perfect travel addition if you’re headed to a resort destination this spring (or honestly, anywhere that’s warm).

Align High-rise Pants 25-inch

If you haven’t heard of the iconic Align Pants from Lululemon, allow me to introduce you. These leggings stay in place like no other, offering just the right amount of compression. The silky smooth material also feels like a second skin on your body, so you forget you’re even wearing them. But that doesn’t mean they don’t offer plenty of coverage: Even the lighter styles are expertly lined, so you can wear them during a rigorous workout or as pants while traveling, without feeling self-conscious. You can’t beat their price in the “We Made Too Much” section ($39, seriously?!), and they’re currently available in nine gorgeous colors. I also highly recommend checking out the Align Shorts, which are great for spring hikes, running errands, or sightseeing. 

Everywhere Belt Bag 1-liter

Another Lulu item that’s achieved icon status at this point, the Everywhere Belt Bag is, everywhere. I’ve owned mine for almost six years now and it’s always the bag I grab before heading on a trip, a hike, a walk, or honestly anywhere I’m headed. It’s so lightweight, and yet holds a shocking amount of essentials: sunscreen, sunglasses, phone, wallet, snacks — the list goes on. This bag constantly sells out on Lululemon’s site, so I’m truly shocked it’s available in their “We Made Too Much” section. 

Fast and Free High-rise Tight 25-inch

While Lululemon’s Align Pants get most of the recognition, I’m equally partial to the Fast and Free High-rise Tight. I’ve had the same pair for years, and it’s held up flawlessly throughout countless miles (both running and travel). Like the Aligns, these leggings fit like a second skin; they are buttery smooth, the perfect thickness for warmer weather, and have just the right amount of compression. And right now, you can snag these tights in the classic 25-inch style, the version with pockets (!), or even the cropped 23-inch style — all starting at $59. Now, excuse me while I stock up on all three…

Tapered-Leg Mid-rise Pant 7/8 Length Luxtreme

Lululemon may be known for leggings, but they also do pants particularly well. That includes these tapered-leg trousers, which are fantastic for travel. They’re made with one of the brand’s signature sweat-wicking and breathable fabrics, offering four-way stretch (translation: ultimate comfort). They’re available in six different versatile, neutral colors, perfect for any style or occasion. 

Swiftly Tech Short-sleeve Shirt 2.0

I’m not usually a big fan of activewear T-shirts (I often find them uncomfortable or limiting), but this Tech shirt from Lululemon is one that I regularly wear. It is perfectly lightweight, breathable, and has a really nice cut — so it’s perfect for exercise or daily wear. Or, if you’re more of a sleeveless person, I swear by their tank in the same fabric (find it here for just $29). 

Wundermost Ultra-soft Nulu High-heck Sleeveless Bodysuit

Bodysuits are great travel staples. After all, they function as a shirt, but take up virtually zero space in your luggage — and I dare you to find a comfier one than this gorgeous piece from Lululemon. It’s made with the brand’s signature Nulu fabric, which is silky smooth to the touch and feels incredible against your skin. This bodysuit, in particular, makes for a great layering piece under a button-up shirt or jacket — or it looks lovely on its own with a pair of jeans or a skirt. It’s available in three colors in the “We Made Too Much” section, but I’m partial to this elegant off-white hue. 

Light Utilitech Cargo Pocket High-rise Pant

Speaking of great travel pants, I’m obsessed with these cargo pants. As always, they’re made with performance fabric to keep you cool and comfy during springtime travels. Of course, since they’re cargo pants, there are pockets, galore — but other notable features include a comfy elastic waistband, stretchy material, and a just-right high-rise fit. These must have just been added to the “We Made Too Much” section because a shocking number of sizes are still available. Each color option is stunning, but I’m about to add the java brown hue to my cart.

ABC Slim-fit 5 Pocket Pant 32-inch Length Utilitech

Lululemon also makes fantastic clothing for men — especially pants. The ABC Pants are its signature style and come in various lengths, fabrics, and cuts. They’re the perfect travel pants, As multiple reviewers confirmed, they stay wrinkle-free and feel comfortable when you're on the go. Right now, you can score the popular pants for just $69.

Hooded Mid-length Utility Jacket

Add jackets to the running list of clothing that Lululemon makes particularly well. And can we talk about this quintessential rain jacket? The oversized cut is so effortlessly cool — not to mention, incredibly functional for any spring travels. It’s water-repellent, windproof, and oh-so-easy to pack. 

Zeroed In Short-sleeve Shirt

Every travel wardrobe needs a reliable t-shirt that can function in different settings. This tee is technically designed for running and training, but it’s sleek enough to wear with jeans or under a jacket. As one reviewer wrote: “It's the best shirt for workouts and everyday life.”

Women's Baller Hat Soft

No matter where I’m headed on vacation, a hat is essential on my packing list. I love Lululemon’s caps (I just ordered a new one) since they’re sweat-wicking and super comfortable throughout many hours of wear. This one comes in black or white, so it’s perfect to pair with any of your favorite travel outfits.
