âWhen you find something comfortable that also highlights your hard work, thatâs a big win,â Ballerini said about the collection, calling the pieces âMy go-to for everyday living.â
Hereâs how to shop some of Balleriniâs fave lululemon Align pieces.
Align No Line Leggings
High-waisted leggings with soft seams made of a stretchy fabric.
Lululemonâs Align No Line leggings are a comfortable dream. Sitting high-waisted, the silhouette is designed for casual wear, made of a breathable sweat-wicking stretch fabric that moves as you move.
Retailing for $108, the style comes in six different hues, including âTrue Navy,â âPool Partyâ and âGoodnight Plum,â among others. Each colorway is on the neutral side, making the leggings more versatile. We can see these leggings pairing well with other athleisure pieces in boxy silhouettes like a cozy sweatshirts or a shearling zip-up crewneck. Worn with chunky athletic sneakers, youâll be the talk of your yoga class.
Align High-Rise Skirt
A high-waisted skirt made of a stretchy fabric.
High-rise and flattering, Lululemonâs Align skirt is athleisure with a flirty twist. Retailing for $78, the skirt comes in a variety of hues from âPink Organzaâ to âChilled Grapeâ from sizes 0 to 14. The skirt is made of a plush, sweat-wicking fabric called Nulu, patented by Lululemon for low-impact activities like Yoga.
This piece is sporty enough that youâll likely be able to get away with working out in it, but formal enough for a quick coffee run with friends. Think cropped tops and tote bags or a slouchy off-the-shoulder sweater and legwarmers. Or style it with a sports bra ala Ballerini. From errand-running to breaking a sweat, the Align High-Rise skirt can take you anywhere.
Align V-Neck Bra
V-neck bra made of Nulu stretch fabric.
Retailing for $58, the Align V-Neck bra is likely more supportive than your ex. Offered colors include âLight Ivory,â âStarch Blue,â âWhiteâ and âTrue Navy,â among others, a wide selection for those indecisive shoppers. The v-neck silhouette is extremely versatile, equipped with classic sloping lines and a flattering cut that creates a peekaboo effect that works well with low-cut or off-the-shoulder tops.
Depending on what colorway you pick, this bra can be worn with just about any high-waisted bottoms from the Align collection and beyond. Like our other picks on this list, the Align v-neck is made of Nulu fabric, a soft material made to cushion and cradle the wearer.
Align High-Rise Short 6âł
High-rise shorts with hidden pocket detailing.
Who doesnât need a standard pair of athletic shorts? These six-inch Ballerini-approved bottoms retail for $64 and come in on-trending colors like whimsical âPink Organzaâ and cool blue âPool Party.â These shorts are high-waisted and made of that familiar Nulu fabric, making them ultra-stretchy. These bad boys are able to withstand sweat, taking you from downward dog to childs pose with ease.
A surprise hidden pocket on the waistband makes for a perfect place to store the important things. Worn with a wrap top and flats, youâll look like a prima ballerina. Or go the sportier route and pop on a sports bra and classic white kicks.
Align Bodysuit 25âł
A black stretch bodysuit with hidden pockets and a form fit.
Bodysuits are a great way to play off like you have yourself together, even if you really donât. Lululemonâs Align offering effectively gives off that vibe, all wrapped up in buttery soft Nulu fabric in a versatile jet black hue. Thin shoulder straps give way to a sturdy built-in shelf bra for added support and hidden pockets to stow away snacks or your phone mid-workout.
The bodysuit currently retails for $148. Going solo, this bodysuit can hold its own, however, we think this piece has ample layering potential. Worn with a graphic tee overtop, the jumpsuit transforms into leggings, casual and sleek.
Align Side-Slit Cami Strap Dress
A cami-style dress with a breezy side slit.
When you think of workout wear, you donât often think of dresses. Despite this, Lululemonâs Side-Slit Cami Strap dress is perfect for just about everything. It currently retails for $148.

One Connecticut couple f***ed around and eventually found out after allegedly going on a Lululemon boosting spree across the country.
NBC News reports that Jadion Richards, 44, and Akwele Lawes-Richards, 45, were pinched at a Lululemon store in Woodbury, Minnesota, and charged with organized retail theft on November 4.
According to the news website, the couple boosted around $1 million in Lululemon merchandise nationwide. Before their arrest, the complaint notes that the couple visited another Lululemon location in Roseville, Minnesota, with an unidentified man, where they allegedly stole $5,000 worth of product.
The couple allegedly had an elaborate theft scheme they used when visiting the locations that ensured they could make off with the goods.
Per NBC News:
An investigator for Lululemon said the couple and the organized crime group they work for had been stealing from stores across the country since September and are responsible for nearly $1 million worth of financial loss for the company, per the complaint.
The investigator explained how the couple allegedly run their theft scheme, with Richards typically entering the store first and purchasing a couple of small items. Richards and Lawes-Richards would then remove a security sensor from another item in the store that theyâd attach to the small items Richards purchased, then steal other items that theyâd conceal under their clothes and jackets.
Lawes-Richards and a third person would walk out of the store ahead of Richards with the stolen items, and when the security sensor at the store would beep, Richards would offer his bag that contained the small purchased item with a sensor attached to it to staff, according to the complaint. The couple would then take the stolen items to another store to exchange them without a receipt.
Well damn.
Lululemonâs Statement on The Coupleâs Arrest
In a statement, Lululemonâs vice president of asset protection, Tristen Shields, spoke on the coupleâs arrest, saying that the company is committed to âcreating a safe and secure environmentâ for shoppers and staff.
Shields continued, âThis outcome continues to underscore our ongoing collaboration with law enforcement and our investments in advanced technology, team training, and investigative capabilities to combat retail crime and hold offenders accountable. We remain dedicated to continuing these efforts to address and prevent this industry-wide issue.â
After the coupleâs arrest, authorities obtained a search warrant. They found large suitcases containing an estimated $50,000 worth of Lululemon products in a rented room at the J.W. Marriott in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Online records indicate the couple was booked into the Ramsey County Jail on November 14. NBC News reports that Lawes-Richards got out on $30,000 bail on Tuesday, November 19, and Richards was released Thursday, November 21, on $100,000 bail.

The founder of athletic wear giant Lululemon is facing renewed backlash after expressing his dislike for the companyâs diversity & and equality initiatives, prompting the company to distance itself.
In an interview, Lululemon founder Chip Wilson caused more controversy when he expressed his dismay about the companyâs diversity and equality initiative efforts, referring to it as a âwhole diversity and inclusion thing.â The Vancouver, British Columbia native spoke to Forbes Magazine for an in-depth profile interview when he made those remarks. He began by commenting on the women-centered brandâs models in their advertisements, calling them âunhealthy,â âsicklyâ and ânot inspirational.â
Wilson would go further, stating: âTheyâre trying to become like the Gap, everything to everybody. And I think the definition of a brand is that youâre not everything to everybody⊠Youâve got to be clear that you donât want certain customers coming in.â The 67-year-old billionaire also belittled Lululemonâs move to include larger-sized people by having clothing that fits individuals up to size 20 in its six core styles, and considered their expansion into menâs wear âappalling.â
Wilson stepped down from the company in 2013 after remarking that the see-through effect of leggings from the athleisure brand could be blamed on  âsome womenâs bodies.â âItâs really about the rubbing through the thighs, how much pressure is there over a period of time,â he stated. In a 2004 interview with the Canada National Post Business Magazine, he drew sharp criticism after revealing his inspiration for naming Lululemon: âI recognized that the Japanese consumer liked a name with an L in it because the letter isnât in the Japanese language. It sounded American,â he said at the time. âSo I thought if I ever have another company I am going to put three Lâs in it,â before adding âItâs funny to watch them try and say it.â
According to former employees interviewed last November, that culture of discrimination still exists. A statement released by Lululemon in response to Wilsonâs remarks slammed the founder, saying: âChip Wilson does not speak for Lululemon, and his comments do not reflect our company views or beliefs. Chip has not been involved with the company since his resignation from the board in 2015 and we are a very different company today.â  The spokesperson added, âWe also recognize that becoming a more diverse and inclusive organization takes time and is only possible through the sustained efforts of our leaders and our people.â

BeyoncĂ©âs Renaissance Tour is coming to a close soon, and while some of us are lucky enough to have gotten or plan to get last-minute tickets, her backup dancer Brianna Pavon has treated us to some behind-the-scenes content that wonât be shown onstage.
Pavon posted a video to her personal TikTok on Sept. 11, showing off the Lululemon Curve Duffle bag as well as the must-haves she packs inside. While the exact style she uses is no longer in stock, there is a similar one by the brand that is still available.
âThis bag has seen the world literally three times,â Pavon says in the video.
Within her personal bag, she carries everything from a long phone charger, muscle massage balls, AirPods and the Laneige lip mask â and thatâs just in a single front pocket. She also goes on to say that through Lululemonâs warranty, you can replace the bag or, if itâs out of stock, get a similar style for equal or lesser value, making the price tag worth the investment.
