YOGA enthusiasts and hardcore runners know Lululemon's prestige workout clothing is the crown jewel of any fitness fan's wardrobe.
But you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to fill your closet with high-performance styles, one former employee said.

Instead, turn to Amazon, where there are plenty of Lululemon duplicates, including the discontinued Wunder Under leggings.
Ariana Vitale shared her shopping list of the best Lululemon "dupes" on Amazon.
They're exact dupes, Vitale said, and she would know – she's intimately familiar with the company's catalog because she used to work there.
"I used to work at Lululemon, for two-and-a-half years," Vitale said on TikTok.

Her favorite Amazon finds are products buyers "would never know are not really Lulu. They look identical," she insisted.
"If you love your Align Joggers, these are the best dupes for them," Vitale said, showing off a pair of jogger-style sweatpants.
The pants are only $30, compared to Lululemon's $98 version. "They're literally unbelievably similar," Vitale said.
Amazon also has a dupe of the Align shorts, which are available in six-, eight-, and 10-inch inseams.

The material of the shorts is "the same," Vitale said, even though the Lululemon short starts at $58 and the Amazon product starts at $24.
Vitale said the quality of the dupes may turn people off of Lululemon entirely.

"The Align tank top? We don't know her," she said. Pointing at a screenshot of a similar product on Amazon, she said, "This? Identical."
You can buy three of the $22.99 Amazon dupe for around the same price as one $68 Lululemon tank top.
If you're looking for high-quality jackets, Amazon has dupes of the Define jacket and Scuba half-zip, both $118.
"You will never buy a Lululemon Define jacket after trying this," Vitale promised, showing the $40 dupe.
Meanwhile, she called the $40 Scuba dupe "the best thing I've ever tried on."
Vitale dearly missed the Wunder Under leggings when Lululemon discontinued them, but she was thrilled to find a substitute that starts at $28.
"These are literally the same things!" she cheered. "I was so sad when they discontinued them."
But if your wardrobe is already full of workout wear, maybe you're in the market for accessories.

"I no longer get my belt bags at Lululemon anymore," Vitale confided.
Instead, she buys a similar-looking brand from Amazon, which has several styles available for $18.88.

Not only is the bag less expensive than Lululemon's $38 Everywhere bag, but you can find one for every outfit.
"There's more colors than Lulu too," Vitale said. In fact, the bag comes in 38 different colors, with other materials (like fleece or vegan leather) available as well.
