If you're someone who works out a lot and is keen to invest in kit that looks great, feels better, and will last a lifetime, it's time you checked out the lululemon Black Friday offering.

As the Senior Health and Sustainability Editor here at Marie Claire UK, I'm not the biggest fan of Black Friday or Cyber Monday. It encourages overconsumption and bombards you with discounts left, right, and centre. That said, I am a fan of using the weekend to invest in items you perhaps otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford and that you'll use for years to come.

That's where lululemon comes in - hands down my favourite brand for working out, walking, and lounging in and a one-stop shop for excellent quality gym kit that's flattering and functional.

Why should you trust me? Well, I'm a nine-time marathon runner and Health Editor who tests kit for a living and works out five times a week. I wear lulu for the majority of these, opting for the Wunder Train shorts and Energy bra for my marathons, Hotty Hot shorts and Swiftly Tee for training runs, and Align leggings for yoga, walks, and general errands (click for my top picks, with savings of up to 62%).

How to get the best lululemon Black Friday items:

Short answer: let us help. Even if you're not into your weight training, running or, well, working out generally, WFH days mean matching gym sets and gym leggings have become a firm favourite across the board. My top tips for shopping at lululemon?

  • Make sure you're clued up on the sizing. FYI, a lululemon size 6 is a UK size 10 - you always need to add two sizes to what's on the label to translate it to UK sizing.
  • Be sure to invest in the right leg length. They have a whole range, from a 21" leg, to a 25" leg, to a 29" leg. If you're on the shorter side, I recommend opting for the 21" for a three-quarter fit, and taller, 29" (no more rolling leggings up or bare exposed ankles over here).
  • Think about how often you'll wear anything before investing. Leggings are probably the safest investment as you can wear them for any workout and to brunch, too. That said, the Align and Energy bras in this round-up are also my go-to's, and the Swiftly tees are great staples for summer or winter running.
  • Make sure to opt for prints or colours that you'll wear often. lulu is well known for using bold and bright patterns, from leopard print to camo, of which I personally own a few. That said, I prefer pairing printed with plain to avoid a clash. For example, I regularly pair the Wunder Train printed leggings with a black, white, or grey Align tank and a black Scuba hoodie.

How long will the lululemon Black Friday discounts last?

The lululemon Black Friday sales launched earlier this week - Tuesday 26th November - and are expected to last around a week.

That said, stock always sells quickly from the brand, especially given that so many of their cult best-sellers are heavily discounted.

Why you can trust me to find Lululemon Black Friday deals

I've been a health journalist for nearly a decade now and tested the vast majority of the lululemon designs. While the kit isn't the most affordable, I can confirm first hand that it's head and shoulders better than most competitors on the market. It feels like a dream and washes well, too, meaning your kit feels as good as new 8+ years down the line (yep, I have had my Align leggings that long).

Need more convincing that you should trust my opinion? I swear by the lululemon kit so much that I've worn it for most of my marathons, including the Berlin Marathon last year where I ran a 3 hour 15 minute personal best.
