This is my third year covering Lululemon’s Cyber Week sale for the Strategist. Each November, I get a sneak peak of the deals ahead of time and spend a couple of days sifting through spreadsheets to find the best ones, keeping an eye out for the tried-and-tested workout clothes our staffers have been wearing and recommending for years. This time, I was pleased to see plenty of the brand’s coveted running tights and yoga pants on sale in all the best colorways, including versatile black. I also found sports bras that are cute enough to be worn as tops, plus marathon-ready running tees and shorts that will last for years without losing their shape in the wash.

Over the years, fitness experts have told us Lululemon’s durable, flattering workout gear is definitely worth paying full price for. But for the next five days, you don’t have to. Find the best Lululemon Black Friday deals below, broken down into categories.

Deals I Personally Think Are the Best

Any time you see a pair of Lululemon leggings for well below $100, that’s basically a good deal. But if I were to pick three Lululemon products to buy during Cyber Week this year, they’d be the options below. The brand’s Align range is beloved by yogis everywhere, and its tank-top-style yoga bra with a deep V-neck will make studio sessions much more special. And if you want something a little looser than tights, my pick would be the wide-leg pants also from the Align range. Finally, a pair of sleek Base Pace running tights for under $70 would be a worthwhile purchase for runners of all abilities and distances.

Women’s bottoms

Wunder Train tights are the brand’s longtime best-selling pair and a favorite among yoga instructors. I’ve been wearing mine for two years now, and they look and feel as good as new even after all that time spent in my local laundromat’s industrial-strength dryer.

Or those same great tights, with an ever-so-slightly retro ribbed fabric.

Ideal for runners who also do Pilates or yoga on occasion, these weightless pants are designed with a back pocket for your phone as well as a waist drawcord for an easy fit.

The absolute smoothest and sleekest of Lululemon’s leggings styles, these running tights will be the envy of your Strava followers.

Bell-bottom yoga pants are everywhere these days, but Lululemon’s wide-legs have a more elevated look that’s a bit less Saturday Night Fever.

Or go for this straight-leg pair. With the right sweater on top, no one needs to know they’re pull-ons.

And these are a nice option if you’re looking to move on from tight pants altogether.

If you’re a fan of the dolphin-smooth yoga pants above, it’s definitely worth trying out a pair of Lululemon’s similarly soft bike shorts.

Westchester-based pro tennis player Emnet Simunyola told me that Lululemon’s flirty (yet functional) hotty hot shorts are her go-tos on court. These were born to be worn with an oversized tee.

Women’s bras and tops

A sweetheart neckline makes this yoga top, made from the same fabric as the Align pants above, just a little bit special. And a little more fun to put on at 6 a.m.

Or here’s a cute cropped version.

A heftier sports bra for more intense workouts that’s under 30 bucks.

$34

Night runners, listen up: Here’s a tank with reflective panels for safety, made from breezy mesh that’s simple to throw on over your sports bra.

Lululemon’s basics are underrated for casual everyday wear. This is a good price on a cropped (but not too cropped) cotton tee.

Or for winter, this long-sleeved version may be more appropriate.

Let’s talk sweats, too. This cozy hoodie may motivate you to get to the gym during the colder, darker months.

Although personally, I tend to opt for a crew instead.

Men’s bottoms

An easy-wear pair of lined gym shorts with a hidden phone pocket. Worth noting the six-inch inseam, too: not too cheeky, not too long.

One of our 11 best gym shorts for men, this pair is a Strategist staff favorite, as well as a go-to for stylish men we’ve spoken with over the years. Ralph Lauren creative producer Yale Breslin calls them “the ultimate.”

These office-ready pants are beloved by Wall Streeters because they’re basically sweats in disguise.

$84

But actual sweats are on sale, too.

Men’s tops

May as well get the matching hoodie, too.

Lululemon Drysense Half Zip
$64
$64

It is truly the year of the half-zip, and I like this gym-ready version of the trend.

Accessories

Lululemon is beloved for its belt bags, and Black Friday is the best time to grab one. This classic style is probably the best for both travel and everyday activities.

Or there’s this one that can fit more than a few essentials.

I also found this sleeker option with silver details.

I think this fuzzy number would make a great gift for a teen girl (who probably already has the original non-fuzzy bag).
