Because wearing a matching set helps you lift a little heavier, I just know it in my heart.

I am a former editor and contributor to the BuzzFeed shopping team with over seven years of experience testing and recommending products that help make life a little easier, whether that’s ultralight gear, holy grail serum, jeans that fit just right, or anything in between.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

Promising review: "These flare leggings are amazing. The fit is super cute, especially with the flare at the bottom, and they hug in all the right places without feeling too tight. The fabric is soft, stretchy, and comfortable enough to wear all day. They move really well and don’t feel restrictive at all. Perfect for dressing up or keeping it casual — definitely a new favorite in my closet." —Natalia

Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL, four lengths, a fleece-lined option, and 28 colors).

Promising reviews: "This bra top is so supportive while being so sexy and it just adds to so many cute outfits. Now I can work out or wear it as a top, under a top to show the back off.... Endless possibilities but best part is how well they fit and keep the breasts separated - not looking like old or cheap sports bras. I am a DDD and have a very hard time finding bras and tops but these I bought four or six of in different colors and designs and couldn't be happier with my purchase. My better half loves it too so it a win across the board! Buy and buy more. Stock up on these hot tops!!!!!" –Amazon Customer

"This is awesome to wear by itself or even to wear under layers and it has good pads so you’re not nipping out! So comfortable too! The criss cross and straps are sooo cute. It fits perfect! I want to buy in more colors but the black is definitely the most versatile staple for my wardrobe. Not only is it cute to wear out or to the gym (hit for low impact only if you got larger ladies in front like me) I may take it to wear it hiking in Peru or Hawaii this year too! Please make more of these forever!" —Lynn

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors and styles). 

Promising review: "This long-sleeve workout piece feels like a second skin — silky, soft with the perfect stretch. It hugs your shape beautifully without being sheer, and suits both the gym and everyday wear. Love how comfy it is!" —Vladimir gomez

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 27 colors). 

Promising reviews: "I bought these to wear for a summer staple to wear under oversized T-shirts and they are perfect. They are like Lululemon material and are awesome." —Ellen Steen

"Perfect. Buttery like Lulu align. I searched Amazon for the perfect biker shorts and finally found them! These are buttery soft, great fabric, and all around amazing. You won’t regret this purchase!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in sizes XS–5XL, 10 colors, packs of two, and shorter inseams). 

Promising review: "They are made from a really sturdy material and fit perfectly. They are more tight at the waist... definitely order size based on waist measurement. I like that they aren't extremely long like most other brands because I don't have to cut them. 10/10 would recommend." –Elizabeth

Get them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors). 

Promising review: "I ended up liking these Simplicity bras more than I could have anticipated. They’re comfortably compressive without rubbing my skin raw beneath the armpits. I usually won’t buy sports bras that don’t have padding, but the double layer helps a lot! I now have one in three different colors!" —Alyssa K.

Get it from Beyond Yoga for $70 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and six colors). 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord LOVES these shorts and says: 

"ASK ME HOW OBSESSED WITH THESE SHORTS I AM, I DARE YOU!!! Real talk: I first bought these shorts because I'm in love with the similar ones you can get at Lululemon or Old Navy, but they're either expensive or sell out so fast. Turns out I love these even more! I love the huge range of colors you can buy these in, love that the high-waistedness of them meets about where my running crop top ends so I don't have to get bonkers with sunscreen, and love love loooooove the side pocket for my keys or phone. I have them in blue, pink, and yellow, and several pairs in black because I just keep collecting them every summer."

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 45 colors). 

Promising review: "I wear a medium, ordered a medium, and like how these fit. They are comfortable (no tugging, pulling, or rubbing) and sit nicely. The material stays comfortable even during a heavier workout or movement. They wash well, too. I'm glad I picked these up." —Tonja Drecker

Get them from Amazon for $22.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 14 colors). 

Promising review: "I have this top in many colors and will continue to repurchase in other colorways. It is a perfect top for low-intensity workouts. I’ve had mine for several years, and they are in like-new condition. Worth every penny!!" —Anonymous

Get it from Lululemon for $68 (available in sizes 0–14 and nine colors). 

Promising review: "Simply the best leggings on the market. I have another pair I bought several years ago that are my go-to pair, so I decided it was time to buy another. They are still in great condition after years of wearing for leisure, working out, running, and washing/drying regularly. Worth the money." —Anonymous

Get them from Lululemon for $128 (available in sizes 0–14, three lengths, and 11 colors).

Promising review: "The material and look are expensive, and well-crafted. Similar to Gymshark, but with way better pricing. I’m 5’8, and the length is great. It is stretchy, yet holds you in, leaving you feeling confident and comfortable. The material isn’t see-through. I ordered it in almost every color after my first set." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $34.95 (available in sizes XS–XL and 16 colors). 

Promising reviews: "I definitely recommend it, the material is stretchy and soft. I purchased a 3X, and I could have gone down a size, but it’s comfortable for me. I also purchased the pink one, and I can’t wait to wear it. Big mama approval!! ❤️" —Suchafcknladi

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes L Plus–5XL Plus and 20 colors). 

Promising reviews: "Buy this! Buttery soft material, and it makes your workout outfit look so much cuter! Can’t wait to wear it all through the fall and winter!" —Sarah Waldrop

"Perfect for Pilates! Cute and comfortable. It’s a great addition to a workout, it fits, and it keeps my shoulders warm. True to size." —Gmv646

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 15 colors). 

Promising review: "This is simply adorable. It's so comfortable and easy to wear. I loved how the shorts underneath are breathable and lightweight, so I wasn't sweating from them. The pockets are a decent size for my phone. It fits true to size but also stretches as needed. I highly recommend this." —A Johnson

Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 15 colors). 

Promising review: "I get so many compliments on this jacket and it is the best Lulu alternative I’ve found!"—Julia Ann

"BEST LULU ALTERNATIVE,  😍 If you’re looking for a lightweight, smooth-textured, and durable workout sweater that won’t break the bank, this one is a must-have. From the moment I put it on, I was impressed by how soft and breathable the fabric feels against my skin. It provides just the right amount of warmth without feeling heavy, making it perfect for warming up, cooling down, or layering over a tank top.

"One of the best features of this sweater is its durability. Even after repeated washes, it holds its shape, doesn’t pill, and still feels as good as new. The stitching is solid, and the fabric resists wear and tear, which is rare for something in this price range.

"Speaking of price, this sweater is incredibly affordable compared to other high-performance brands. It delivers the same quality and comfort without the premium price tag. Whether you’re hitting the gym, going for a run, or just running errands, this sweater is a versatile addition to your wardrobe.

"Overall, if you want a stylish, lightweight, and long-lasting workout sweater without spending a fortune, this one is a fantastic choice!" —Shamonte Richardson

Get it from Amazon for $23.96 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 19 colors). 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this Half-Zip Fleece Pullover! The soft fleece feels incredibly cozy, and it’s very warm for winter — perfect for those chilly days outside. The color is exactly as shown online, which was a pleasant surprise.

It has that perfect oversize fit, making it super comfortable and I love to wear it spectating winter sports events or just staying warm on the go. The pockets are a great bonus, and the overall look is trendy and stylish without trying too hard." —T G

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 33 colors). 

Promising review: "Super comfy. I usually don’t write reviews. I tried these first before buying Lulu, and they are the most comfortable leggings for everyday and even workouts. Highly recommended!" —Criselle Johnson

Get them from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 colors). 

Promising review: "I have a good 20 of these shirts! I am a sweaty individual, and in the corporate setting, I don’t want to have sweat dripping down my arm! These shirts are such great quality, don’t fade, and look great! I use them for work, the gym, and going out! They are awesome!" —Almedina

Get it from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, tons of colors, and multipacks). 

Promising review: "Literally SHOCKED at how good this is — my friends guessed Aritzia, Zara, Skims, etc. when I asked them where they thought it was from when I wore it. The set is super thick and of good quality. Fits like a glove, true medium. Legit shocked." —Allison K. Batinelli

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–L and 23 colors). 

Promising reviews: "Material is thick, sturdy, and out of this world. It is such a stunning color. I have received numerous compliments since wearing this. Gym-friendly, but also Pilates-friendly!" —Malissa

"Really comfortable and not see-through! Loved the compression." —Alyss Chacon

Get it from Amazon for $33.95 (available in sizes XS–XL and 17 colors). 

Promising review: "Love my new Nike black leggings. Sized perfectly for a great, comfortable fit. The last time I purchased these was well over five years ago. They last forever!! A big thumbs up!! 👍" —Melissa

Get them from Amazon for $35.31+ (available in sizes XS–XL and eight colors). 

Promising review: "I love this shirt! It’s so comfortable to wear when I work out and is moisture-wicking. Love the back of the shirt. It motivates me to work out!" —Nicole Ripplinger

Get it from Amazon for $17.98 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 17 colors).

Promising review: "As a millennial mom, I'm halfway on the TikTok bandwagon without shame. So when I saw these leggings come up again and again, I decided to trust the sea of people who rave about these leggings and purchased them. I usually buy my athletic wear at [lower] prices, but occasionally have spent this same amount for something I really liked. And TikTok did not let me down! These leggings are very soft and comfortable to wear... What I really like is the material pattern stretches over the curvy parts of me really nicely. These leggings make me feel great, and don't ride down below my waist and belly when I'm doing actual exercise. I started off with black and now want a couple of different colors to add to my athletic wardrobe." —Brianna Storch

Get them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–4XL and 16 colors).

Promising review: "I am SO incredibly impressed with the quality of this. The fabric quality is comparable to Lululemon and other high-quality brands. I’ve worn it as a tank, with and without a sports bra underneath, and it can be worn without and still provide great support. This is the perfect tank to wear for workouts or as athleisure, whether running errands or hanging out. Super cute. Fits true to size." —JBrewer

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and tons of colors). 

Oh, and these have pockets! Reviewers say they love the high, supportive waistband and the compression fit that keeps them secure during movement.

SuperFit Hero is a woman-owned small business based in California specializing in premium plus-size activewear in sizes L–7XL.

Promising review: "I’ve had these for a while but have generally felt nervous about wearing skintight anything in public, so I haven’t given them a real test. Today I said, 'What the hell, you only live once,' and wore them on a hike. They were SO GOOD! Super supportive, wicking, zero chafing, stayed put both on the waist and the leg and laid flat under the waist belt of my pack. These shorts are the real deal. Just more confirmation that Superfit Hero is the place to go for serious athletic gear for larger bodies. I will definitely be hiking in them in the future!" —Mollie S.

Get them from SuperFit Hero for $75 (available in sizes L–7X and in four colors).

Promising reviews: "I wear this red bodysuit to both hot yoga and power yoga, and it holds up amazingly! It stays in place the whole time — no adjusting needed, even during the sweatiest flows. The color is bold, and I get compliments every time I wear it. It also doesn’t show sweat marks at all, which is a huge win for hot classes. I’m small-chested, so there’s a slight gap in the fabric at the chest when I bend down, but it’s not a big issue. The bra padding is removable, too, which I appreciate. Overall, it’s super comfortable and functional — definitely one of my favorite workout pieces." —Molly Black

"I *love* this! I’m very into the gym and have had a hard time finding a bodysuit that I feel comfortable working out in. I can wear this without a bra at the gym!! This is rare for me as a size 34DDD. It is squat-proof and adjustable. Guess what else, I tried this on under a skirt, and it SLAYED. Probably gonna buy more in different colors." —Andrea

Get it from Amazon for $28.23+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 17 colors). 

Promising review: "Genuinely the best bras I've ever had. Fit me perfectly, despite my uncommonly large rack. Bra shops would lie to me constantly about my size, because they wouldn't have something to sell me otherwise, so getting these had been an enlightening experience. These are comfortable, durable, breathable, and support a LOT of weight with little struggle. And reduce the bounce almost entirely! Truly lifesaving bra." —Cooper

Get it from Amazon for $32.50+ (available in band sizes 34–50, cup sizes C–H, and six colors). 

Promising reviews: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets, the jogger style, that they fit like leggings, and that they can be worn to the gym, or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" —Courtney 

"Love these joggers! If I could wear them every day, I would. I want to order a pair in every color. They are so soft and so comfortable. The waistband is thick and is high-waisted. They are very easy to move around in and fit as expected. The waistband is a little tight, but it stretches out as you wear it. I ordered a pair for my mom and told my best friend about them, and they loved them as well. These are good Lululemon alternatives and very affordable." —Alissa Frey

Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 26 colors). 

Promising review: "It’s taking a little bit of time to get used to wearing it, but I think that’s only because I’ve had such poor posture and it was weird having muscles engaged that had never been before. I am getting compliments about the fact that I don’t look slouched over anymore. I will be purchasing more so I can have it for everyday use and to use on my runs." —Raquel B

Get it from Forme for $178 (available in sizes XS–3XL, two arm hole sizes, and seven colors).
