Lululemon Align leggings review: the activewear benchmark
Activewear has moved well beyond the gym, and few leggings have benefited from that shift as much as the Lululemon Align. The appeal is straightforward: these are exceptionally soft, light leggings designed for low-impact exercise, but comfortable enough to wear for much of the day. Our verdict is that the Align remains a benchmark for shoppers who prioritise fabric feel and unrestricted movement…
The Lululemon Align leggings have gained a reputation as a benchmark in the activewear market, thanks to their exceptional softness and comfort. Made from Lululemon's Nulu fabric, a blend of 81% nylon and 19% Lycra elastane, these leggings are designed for low-impact exercise and everyday wear. The high-rise waistband provides a comfortable fit without the compression often found in harder training tights.
With a lightweight construction, the Align allows for unrestricted movement, making it a versatile choice for yoga, Pilates, low-intensity studio sessions, and casual wear. While experts praise the leggings for their softness and flexibility, they also note that they may not provide the same level of compression for high-intensity training.
Independent testing supports the leggings' reputation for comfort, and their versatile design makes them a popular choice for those who prioritize fabric feel over maximum support.
