Lululemon Tips & Tricks

Okay, so we all know how amazing Lululemon gear is, but let's be real, the prices can be a bit steep! That's why the 'We Made Too Much' (WMTM) section is my absolute holy grail for stocking up on premium activewear without breaking the bank. It's not just a small sale rack; it's a treasure trove of overstock items, seasonal colors, and discontinued styles that are still incredibly high quality. I've literally transformed my entire workout wardrobe thanks to these finds! Diving Deep into the 'We Made Too Much' Section First off, let's clarify what WMTM actually is. These aren't 'outlet' pieces made specifically for a lower price point; these are authentic Lululemon items that they simply made too many of, or are clearing out to make way for new collections. This means you're getting the exact same quality as full-price items, just at a significant discount. I've seen savings of 30-50% off, sometimes even more! My top tip for navigating WMTM is to treat it like a strategic mission. It typically updates on Thursday mornings, so that's my prime time to check for new drops. Don't just browse casually; use the filters! Filter by size, color, and product type (like 'Align' or 'Swiftly Tech') to quickly narrow down what you're looking for. This saves so much time and helps you find those hidden gems before they sell out. Remember, these items are often 'Final Sale,' but here's a pro hack: if you're a Lululemon Member, you can often return final sale items in-store for store credit! This 'Member Benefit' is a total game-changer for those hesitant about final sale purchases. My Go-To WMTM Finds & Styling Advice I've scored so many incredible pieces from WMTM. The lululemon Align™ collection is always a priority for me. I've found everything from the buttery-soft Align Tank Top and Align High-Rise Shorts to the more unique Align™ Asymmetrical Bra and even the Align™ Dress. These pieces are perfect for yoga, lounge, or even dressed up for a casual day out. I've also snagged several Hotty Hot High-Rise Lined Shorts and Swiftly Tech Long-Sleeve Shirts 2.0 – essential staples for any active wardrobe. Don't sleep on the bras either! The Flow Y Bra Nulu and Free to Be Bra - Wild are often available in beautiful colors like Windmill, Sakura Pink, or Oasis Blue. For bottoms, beyond the Align leggings, keep an eye out for Groove Nulu Super-High-Rise Flare Pants or even the License to Train High-Rise Pant. And yes, skirts too! I've seen Pace Rival Mid-Rise Skirt and Varsity High-Rise Pleated Tennis Skirts at amazing prices, which are perfect for summer or active days. Extending the Life of Your Lululemon Haul Once you’ve invested in these amazing pieces, even at a discount, you want them to last! A quick tip for how to care for Lululemon leggings and other items: always wash them inside out in cold water with similar colors. Skip the fabric softener, as it can damage the technical fabric. And for the love of Align, air dry everything! Tumble drying on high heat can impact the fabric's integrity and stretch over time. Trust me, proper care makes a huge difference in maintaining that beloved Lululemon feel. Shopping the 'We Made Too Much' section has truly changed how I approach buying activewear. It's not just about saving money; it's about being strategic and smart about your purchases. Happy hunting, and I can't wait to hear about your WMTM triumphs!
