Lululemon is a well-known clothing brand within the fitness world. They’re notorious for their high-quality products, as well as their high prices. A pair of workout leggings will cost you anywhere from $90 to $130, and a basic tank top can run anywhere from $30 to $80.

Recently, I’ve come across a dupe for one of my favorite Lululemon items, the Align Tank. For anyone that may not know what I mean by a dupe in this context, it is a less expensive, near-exact replica of a product. I wanted to share my discovery with you all because I’m obsessed with this dupe, and who doesn’t love paying less for a great product??? Fair warning though, this is a popular product so it sometimes sells out quickly. Amazon is known for their quickly restocking so check back soon if your size isn’t available!

Before I get into why I like the Amazon dupe more than the original, let me first give you a brief run-down of each product.

The Lululemon Align Tank

The Lululemon Align Tank totals at a whopping $58, before tax. This top currently comes in two color options, white and black. The fabric has great stretch, while still making you feel somewhat supported, and it’s very soft. This top also features pockets that allow you to remove the bra padding if you wish. I wear a size 8 in this top. 

Pros:

• soft, flexible fabric
• medium support
• built-in bra
• removable padding

Cons:

• expensive price point
• limited color selection

This top is available on Amazon and comes in 11 different colors. It costs anywhere from $20 to $24 depending on the color and size you choose. Like the Align Tank, this top’s fabric is soft, stretchy, and provides medium support. It also features a built-in bra and removable pads, similar to the Align tank. I have this top in five colors and I wear a size medium. 

Pros:

• soft, flexible fabric
• medium support
• built-in bra
• removable padding
• much lower price point
• comes in 11 colors

Cons:

• thinner straps than the Align Tank (could be a pro depending on your strap preference)

The main difference between the Lululemon Align Tank and the Amazon dupe is that the straps are thinner on the Amazon dupe and thicker on the Align Tank. I don’t mind the thinner straps, but everyone has their own preference. The fabrics are almost identical for both tops. They’re both very soft, comfortable, and great for working out in. Both tops also feature a built-in bra with removable padding.

I think both of these tops are great, however, I often find myself wearing the Amazon dupe more than the Align Tank. I think this is mainly due to the fact that I have this top in five different colors and it has proven to be an extremely versatile tank. It’s SO COMFORTABLE and I get a ton of use out of it. I wear it during workouts, relaxing at home, taking Blue on walks, and it can even work as a perfect casual going out top. 

I highly recommend looking into this Amazon dupe first if you’ve been considering buying the Lululemon Align Tank. More expensive doesn’t necessarily mean a better product. These tanks are virtually the same in fabric and fit, and the dupe comes in wayyyyyy more colors. Not to mention you can basically buy two Amazon dupe tanks for the same price as one Align Tank.

I’m all about finding good deals. Do you know of any other dupes I should be checking out? Let me know by dropping a comment below!
