As experts have told us time and again, Lululemon’s highly coveted workout clothes are worth paying full price for — and most of the time, full price the only option you’ll have. Today’s Cyber Monday sale is the exception with discounts of up to 70 percent, even on in-demand colorways like black and navy. I was given access to these deals ahead of time and have combed through them to find the best discounts, especially on classic items that have been recommended to us by stylish and sporty types over the years. Below you’ll find super-stretchy tights, pretty yet practical sports bras, and marathon-ready running tees and shorts that’ll last for years without losing their shape in the wash. Lululemon’s TikTok-famous fanny pack (that’s excellent for travel or just running around town in) is on sale, as is a terry sweatband that’d make a sweet stocking stuffer. Our absolute favorite pair of men’s gym shorts is just $49 right now, and you’ll also find women’s yoga pants for under $100.

Because a sitewide sale can be overwhelming, I’ve broken down the best deals into categories: women’s bottoms (including shorts as well as tights), women’s bras and tops (from running bras to tanks that can be worn with jeans), women’s outerwear (including a cute cropped puffer for colder months), men’s bottoms (including an unusually sleek pair of joggers), men’s tops (all of them odor-resistant and wrinkle-free), men’s outerwear (look out for a travel-ready trench) and accessories (from hats to gym bags). I’ve just completed my final update of this post, and luckily there are still many items available in a range of colors and sizes. Cyber Monday ends at midnight, so be sure to act quickly if you see something you like.

Women’s bottoms

Lululemon’s Align pants are a gym bag essential. Fitness instructor Ashley Rosenberg calls the style a “forever classic” that’s “just unbeatable.” Expecting mothersyoga instructors, and other fitness folk all agree, praising their high-rise fit, durability, and four-way stretch.

These cropped versions of the above Align pants are also on sale in three different capri lengths, all with the same flattering high waistband.

From $39

And here’s those same pants again, but with pockets. While some people dislike wearing yoga pants with pockets on the mat, I’ll always keep a pair around for holding my phone when jogging or even just roaming around the house.

If you are indeed more runner than yogi, these weightless pants are designed with a back pocket for your phone, as well as a waist drawcord for an easy fit.

Whether you’re warming up or lounging about, these decidedly unsloppy joggers are an excellent investment. They have the same high-rise, slightly compressive waistband as Lululemon’s traditional yoga pants, which makes for a flattering fit while allowing freedom of movement.

If you’re a fan of the dolphin-smooth yoga pants above, it’s definitely worth trying out a pair of Lululemon’s similarly soft bike shorts. They’re lightweight but compressive, minimizing any unwanted jiggling.

Westchester-based pro tennis player Emnet Simunyola told me that Lululemon’s flirty (yet functional) hotty hot shorts are her go-tos on court. These were born to be worn with an oversized tee.

Personally I’m more of a high-waisted baggy workout shorts girl, and these ones have a thick and comfy waistband as well as zip-up pockets.

Women’s bras and tops

A quintessential running bra, the Enlite suits a wide range of cup sizes and is designed for intense workouts. Hefty cross straps at the back mean you can pound the pavement without feeling any bounce.

This bra with light support is better for yoga, and features delicate strapping that’ll draw plenty of compliments in the changing room.

Or here’s something simpler for the mat that will match any of the Align pants above.

The sweetheart neckline makes this yoga top, which is also made from the same fabric as the Align pants and shorts above, just a little bit special. And a little more fun to put on at 6AM.

Or bare your abs instead with this ultra-contoured tank made from a ribbed fabric that’s very studio-to-street.

Similarly street-worthy is this cold-shoulder top with an elegant loop detail on the back. On the mat, the light support makes it best for small-chested (A to B cup) wearers.

On the looser side of things is this chic cotton tank that cinches in at the shoulders to flatter your arms. It’s soft and sweat-wicking, with a cropped length that ensures you’ll never have to tuck.

Please note that this on-trend preppy polo is half price in all three colorways: black, white, and tennis ball green.

Slow-drying cotton tees are no good for sweaty workouts, which is why it’s worth investing in one of Lululemon’s slightly stretchy and moisture-wicking ones made from nylon and recycled polyester.

Here’s a cotton crewneck that can be worn all winter long, whether you’re working out or working from home. It would look rather smart with a pair of high-waisted jeans or black pants.

Also seasonally appropriate is this vintage-y crew sweater that’s made from soft and fuzzy fabric. It’s loose enough to be casually thrown on post-workout.

Women’s outerwear

Take $100 off this swishy waterproof trench coat in both colors, and stay dry for the next five months.

Cropped puffers are cuter than full-length ones, and much easier to exercise in. This one cinches at the waist to retain body heat.

Men’s bottoms

One of our 11 best gym shorts for men, this pair is a Strategist staff favorite, as well as a go-to for stylish men we’ve spoken with over the years. Ralph Lauren creative producer Yale Breslin calls them “the ultimate,” and particularly likes the subtlety of their branding, as well as their “not too long and not too short” length.

The above-five-inch inseam may be a little cheeky for some, but luckily the seven-inch Pace Breakers are also on sale.

Or here’s a pair of lined shorts, if those are your preference, with a hidden phone pocket to keep your most valuable possession secure when running or playing sports.

These elevated sweatpants come recommended to us by Donnell Baldwin, a former style director for Mr Porter. He has owned his pair for years, and promises that they’re worth the price because “they don’t fall apart.”

Men’s tops

A collared shirt for sweaty dudes, this button-up is made from stretchy and moisture-wicking no-iron fabric that still looks and feels like cotton.

For the more casually attired, here’s an odor-fighting, bacteria-resistant basic that’s treated with zinc, which means that it won’t need to be washed after every single wear.

Much more workout-friendly than it looks, this boxy tee is also zinc-treated and features hidden gussets that allow for full arm mobility. Ideal for any tennis players inspired by the Andre Agassi big-shirt-tiny-shorts look.

Men’s outerwear

$199

This waterproof nylon coat is smart enough for work and packable enough for travel. And you can’t beat those big boxy hand pockets.

Lululemon Evergreen Jacket
$119
$119

This more cropped style is also light and packable, as well as highly waterproof and windproof.

Accessories

A Wimbledon-white sweatband is always a serve, even if you’re more into pickleball.

As anybody who took part in a turkey trot last week knows, we’ve officially hit running glove season. These convertible mitts are grippy, smartphone friendly, and almost 45 percent off right now.

And this water-repellent logo-less cap is very quiet luxury. (No one at the club needs to know it was 60 percent off.)

Two handle sizes make Lululemon’s big canvas tote more practical than your standard freebie. As well as the gym, it would also be great for travel.

I really like the idea of giving this TikTok-famous fanny pack as a gift. It can be worn at the waist or as a crossbody, and is spacious enough to stash a few snacks alongside the wearer’s phone, keys, and wallet.
