The lululemon 'We Made Too Much' section is a treasure trove for those who love stylish and comfortable activewear on a budget. From Align leggings in unique colourways to sought-after sports bras, you can stock up for less in this section.
Unlike the planned Lululemon sale dates throughout the year, the 'We Made Too Much' section is a permanent fixture on the lululemon website. It's a place where, as the name suggests, the brand puts excess stock from the previous season at a discounted price.
As woman&home's digital health editor and a fan of lululemon's activewear, I've scoured through the most recent drop to highlight the best items in the 'We Made Too Much' sale right now.
Our top picks from the lululemon 'We Made Too Much' sale
Run, don't walk to the lululemon 'We Made Too Much' sale for this Dark Olive colourway of the classic Align High-Rise Pant 28". Designed for yoga, the material feels weightless and buttery soft against the skin. It's a full-length design so should sit comfortably at the ankle - making it the perfect pair of workout leggings for the transitional weather.
A lululemon bestseller - the Wunder Train high-rise leggings are cut to sit just above the ankle, making them great for warmer months but also good for adding long socks to in the cooler ones. Currently available in the 'We Made Too Much' sale with sizes from 4 to 18 available. Perfect for strength training and gym workouts, these are gym leggings with pockets - two side drop-in ones and a hidden pocket in the waistband for a card and keys. There is also a drawcord around the waist for extra security.
Whether you're heading to the gym or to the airport, it's important to be comfortable. woman&home editor Kerrie Hughes owns these lululemon joggers - and highly recommends them. "I've had this pair of joggers for a good few years now and they are still in great condition despite countless washes. They are cuffed so look great with trainers or flip-flops and are a really flattering shape. The design makes them smarter than your average jogger, so are brilliant for every day too." Plus, they are available in black in the 'We Made Too Much' sale!
Available in UK sizes 4 to 22, the Align Tank Top is a great option for low-impact workouts if you're a cup size A or B. It's stretchy enough for yoga and Pilates workouts, while still being supportive enough with a sports bra for casual movement as well. This style does run a bit small though, as reviews say, so it may be worth sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
Late summer and autumn workouts are all about layering. If you have enough layers, you'll be prepared for any weather. This short-sleeve training top is a good option for the gym, made from sweat-wicking and odour-resistant materials. The bottom of the top sits just below the waistband of most leggings and shorts, offering a flattering, full-coverage fit.
This deal is a real find for anyone size 16 or 18, with just these sizes left in the sale. Not too long, not too short, this top sits just on the waistband and is a loose fit with lots of room for layers underneath. The cool blue is the perfect transitional colour for the season, pairing well with lighter colourways and black gym leggings. However, other colours and other sizes are available at a discount.
This light jumper is made with thermoregulating merino wool, making for the perfect throw-on layer across the changing seasons. A top button adds an extra layer of warmth should you need it and the cropped fit pairs perfectly with high-waisted jeans or leggings. Available in this warm blue colour, lilac, and black for almost £40 off.
Lululemon's range of trainers is particularly unique in that they are designed for the female foot - rather than a sized-down version of the male foot, as you get with many of even the best gym shoes. The strongfeel range is my personal favourite, so I can vouch for these shoes. Designed for training, they feel supportive underfoot with a flatter sole for security and better balance while lifting weights.
If running is more your sport than strength training, it's worth having a look at the blissfeel 2 running shoes. Ranked as one of the best running shoes for women, they are also designed specifically for women's feet, these have a cushioned profile for support and soft, springy soles to keep you moving comfortably. I found these were best for those with narrower feet - but the brand recommends you size up anyway for best fit. In the 'We Made Too Much' sale right now, you'll find the blissfeel running shoes in a bright orange - ideal for running outdoors as the evenings become darker.
