The lululemon Align collection brings polish to performance wear
Signature fits, buttery-soft fabrication and supreme comfort – lululemon’s iconic Align range enables you to discover the joy in everyday movement, no matter the season
Summer is the season to be outside. With daylight hours at their peak, the mornings are bright and the evenings come late – it fills each day with endless possibility. Early risers maximize on those extra daylight hours before work with an early morning coffee and a walk; night owls can enjoy a sunset run as the sky turns twilight. Summer is a time of flexibility, when we mold our days to our mood and spontaneity reigns supreme. It’s important, then, to have a wardrobe of adaptable staples that can move with us.
Lululemon wants you to feel confident stepping out of the house every morning, and it has built its global reputation as makers of the best activewear – offering cool, comfortable kit, it wants to ensure you feel empowered every single morning, with form-fitting collections that make you feel as good as you look.
And nothing fits that brief quite like the lululemon Align collection. First introduced as a legging silhouette 10 years ago, it went on to achieve cult status globally. It’s hard to believe that one pair of leggings could change our wardrobes forever; lululemon did, when it created leggings so comfortable, women wanted to wear them post-workout, too. The ‘Align’ became a must-have fashion item.
So fundamental to the active wardrobe, the Align has since been expanded into an entire collection of kit that has a slick, understated polish – it’s bigger and better than ever. The range now includes bras, miniskirts and bike shorts. And, in colors like rich chocolate, stone and blush, the SS25 collection is a palate cleanser from typical black gym colors and brings a summery, daytime sensibility and wear-anywhere appropriateness to every outfit.
Founded in Vancouver in 1998, lululemon is a brand that understands the active lifestyle. Every piece in the Align collection has been through rounds and rounds of behind-the-scenes prototyping; each piece is meticulously improved to get that perfect fit, and feel, before it officially launches. The designers at the helm understand how important having a functional and distraction-free kit is.
This means lululemon can be relied on as a maker of hardworking garments that enable a life lived on the go. Our lives today are busier than ever, juggling work, family, friends, travel and exercise – so clothing that’s designed to adapt is key to enabling all-day comfort and inner confidence.

That’s why the Align range is so special. Lululemon is renowned globally for its proprietary fabrics, with all development happening in-house to ensure the perfect fit and feel. Align’s unique Nulu fiber is distinctive thanks to its buttery-soft handle. Designed to be both supportive and comfortable – two adjectives that are rarely used to describe the same garment in activewear – it’s free from the restrictive compression often found in leggings, but it’s no less performative. With a matte finish, the range also feels dressier than most other activewear fibers, making it easier to pair with cashmere sweaters and non-sports tops.
Need inspiration? The high-rise shorts are ideal on a hot, sunny day paired with a crisp, cotton button-down. The tank tops feature sculpted necklines or strappy cut-out backs that give them a dressiness that extends well beyond gym wear – wear them underneath a blazer or a cardigan for nighttime. And for dawn-til-dinner days, look no further than the ‘Align’ Palazzo pants, which have an easy versatility thanks to the wide-leg silhouette and wide, flexible waistband – they’re super smart yet simple to wear, whether pulled on for a yoga class or paired with heels for after-hours.
Effortless, versatile and liberating – lululemon ensures you can step out in style and lean into adventure this summer, wherever the day takes you.
