These Affordable Yoga Pants Give Lululemon’s Wunder Under Leggings a Run For The Money
Lululemon’s best-selling Wunder Under yoga leggings aren’t just a luxury activewear staple, they’re practically a cultural icon—and at the very least, an unpretentious status symbol of sorts. Lululemon isn’t the only label offering pricey fitness attire either. The market for prestige activewear has grown tremendously over the past decade, with sought-after labels like Alo Yoga, Koral, and Beyond Yoga offering “designer” leggings for up to a couple hundred bucks. However, Lulu’s O.G. Wunder Under leggings (whether cropped, 7/8 or full-length) was undoubtedly the pioneer (if not the prototype) that not only put luxe leggings on the map but also convinced fitness aficionados (and those of us who simply like to dress comfortably without looking frumpy) that it was actually worth it to drop a hundo on fitness attire.
It’s true, Lulu’s ultra elevated design, along with their proprietary fabric blends (the Wunder Under is composed of “luon”) really flatters the figure, giving your backside a little lift and offering a subtle sucked-in effect without feeling like your legs are suffocating. They really do feel amazing on— even when you’re drenched in sweat after an intense spin or yoga class. However, while the Wunder Unders (or any of their flagships styles) maybe be worth the financial setback, there are truly some incredible alternatives with the same curve-enhancing powers, sweat-wicking technology, and cute patterns and colorways for a fraction of the cost. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite stylish pairs.
