Lululemon, Lululemon, Lululemon. Seems like everybody is purchasing Lululemon these days. One of the biggest and most in-demand brands in the world, the company is an automatic one-stop-shop for quality athleisure clothing that will take you everywhere from work all the way to a semi-casual lunch date or errands trip. While the brand's original point of popularity were their leggings (which are still highly revered as being one of if not the best leggings in the world), Lululemon has evolved into so much more than that from a style perspective. One of the elements in that evolution has without a doubt been their pants, which meet in the middle between casual/athletic and dressy. Also known for their superior comfort, moisture-wicking quality, and durability, Lululemon pants are a staple capsule wardrobe piece that can be easily paired with your white t-shirts, blazers, flannels, and more. We've put together a guide to the best Lululemon pants for men, reviewing every pair available right now.

From the ABC Classic-Fit 5 Pocket Pant ($128) to their Cargo-Pocket Training Pants ($99), trust us when we say that these are some of the best pants in the world. We've spent a lot of time testing, researching, and vetting to put this guide together, and we can only hope that you walk out of here with a brand new pair of Lululemon pants in your cart. Let's get down to the nitty gritty shall we?

1. ABC Classic-Fit 5 Pocket Pant

Best Lululemon Pants for Men, Overall

  • Pros: Very comfortable, made with great fabric, has multiple pockets, comes in various colors, flexible
  • Cons: Could run on the bigger/looser side for certain body types
  • Material: 54% Elastomultiester, 33% cotton, 13% elastane
  • Sizes: 28 - 46
  • Inseam: 32", 34"
  • Color: Seal Grey, Bay Leaf, Trench, Black, Artifact, and 3 others
  • Fit: Classic/regular
  • A Promising Review: "I have a pair. They are great for traveling and events. The pants also go well with a nice dress shirt. These have the best pockets out of all my pants, and they are very flexible. The range of motion is limitless" - Brandon Shamy, ONE37pm Platform Strategist

We're kicking this off with Lululemon's Classic-Fit 5 Pocket Pant which is made with an elastomultiester/cotton/elastane blend, and consists of what the brand deems their ABC technology. There's five pockets (one of which is hidden) on the ABC Classic Pants, giving you ample room for storing your smaller essentials (no excuse for losing stuff with these). We also love how these pants offer plenty of stretch room, which is probably thanks to Lululemon's abrasion-resistant fabric, which offers four-way stretch. Another cool feature on the pants that you can't really see on the picture? The ability to flip the cuff and reveal a reflective detail, which is pretty darn neat in our opinion.

Best of all, you can wash the pants at home on cold wash (or hand-washing if you're about that life as well), which avoids the process of having to take them to a professional, and we're huge fans of the color range. The neutral colors the pants come in make them very easy to mix and match with different tops, shoes, and accessories. Dare we say the perfect pants.

2. ABC Slim-Fit 5 Pocket Pant

Best Slim-Fit Lululemon Pants for Men

  • Pros: Comfortable, offers flexibility and four-way stretch, multiple colors
  • Cons: Could run on the smaller/tight side
  • Material: 53% Elastomultiester, 47% recycled polyester
  • Sizes: 28 - 40
  • Inseam: 28", 30," 32," 34," 37"
  • Color: Grey Sage, True Navy, Trench, Silver Drop, Obsidian
  • Fit: Slim
  • A Promising Review: "The ABC Pants are great travel pants that are contingent upon your personal flexibility" - Adam Lovick, ONE37pm Content Lead

At first these pants look like a just slimmer version of the classic, but not so fast! For starters, these pants are only made with elastomeister and recycled polyester. The color range is also different on the slim pants as opposed to the classic. As for the overall design and structure of the pants, they are crafted specifically to follow the natural lines of your body, and have extra room in the hips. The extra room in the pants could mean that they run big in the waist and hips area, so we recommend going with the smaller sizes measurements if you are on the very slim side. Like the classics, there are also five pockets for the Slim ABC's, and the technology built into the pants uses an ergonomic gusset to remove tension from the crotch area.

Four-way stretch is also a part of these pants, and according to our fellow editors, they do a good job at keeping shape over time. You'll also be able to wash these home as well without having to worried about the pants potentially getting ruined.

3. ABC Relaxed-Fit 5 Pocket Pant

Best Relaxed-Fit Lululemon Pants for Men

  • Pros: Has five pockets, offers a tapered fit, flexible, technical
  • Cons: Limited inseam sizes
  • Material: 53% Elastomultiester, 47% recycled polyester
  • Sizes: 28 - 40
  • Inseam: 28", 32," 34"
  • Color: Army Green, True Navy, Trench, Obsidian, Black
  • Fit: Relaxed
  • A Promising Review: "For reference, I had 2 pairs of the previous ABC pants in a 32x32 classic fit. It was a trade off between comfortable thighs and a fitted waist. These relaxed fit in 31x32 are perfect. I don't even need a belt to keep them up and my thighs and glutes aren't suffocating! These are the best fitting pants I own and max out on comfort. Removing the knee seam was the final touch. I will def be picking up more and waiting for the relaxed pants/trousers to come in white!" - Jason, Lululemon Reviewer

Our choice for the best relaxed pants at Lululemon are the ABC Relaxed-Fit 5 Pocket Pant, which comes in a range of sizes. There aren't as many inseam options available as some of their other pant options, but that shouldn't be enough to deter you from purchasing. A mixture of casual and dressy, we appreciate the ample amount stretch (which is once again thanks to the four-way feature), and the fact that these pants never seem to truly ever get wrinkled. One of the pant's five pockets are located in the back, and offers the ability to zip if you want (which comes in handy because we all know how easy it is for things to fall all of your pocket).

There's also five colors options to choose ranging from Black to Army Green. Whatever floats you boat color-wise. Most important is the comfort, which is to be expected with the elastomultiester/recycled polyester mixture.

4. Cargo-Pocket Training Pant

Best Lululemon Cargo Pants

  • Pros: Made for training, sweat-wicking, has an adjustable waistband drawcord
  • Cons: Limited sizes to choose from
  • Material:  82% Polyester, 18% lycra elastane
  • Sizes: XS - XXL
  • Inseam: N/A
  • Color: Dark Forest, Black
  • Fit: Classic
  • A Promising Review: "These absolutely nailed everything I’ve been looking for in an athletic cargo pant. I’m 6’1” with an athletic build and they fit perfectly in length/width. The material is breathable with plenty of stretch yet still feels like it will hold up to some abuse. Lots of modern detailing will make these an eye catcher in the gym but they still remain sleek enough that you can wear them on a date too. Can’t wait to fill the pockets with lots of snacks." - Arnie, Lululemon Reviewer

We're feeling these cargo training pants inspired by NBA player Jordan Clarkson. You can wear these to the gym, put them on post-workout, or even wear them casually if you so wish. The pants are made with a polyester/lycra elastane mixture and are sweat-wicking, which is an important factor in any athletic/training pant. Similar to other pants from the brand, these too have four-way stretch and are abrasion-resistant, but the lycra in particular is what gives the pants it's stretch, shape-retention, and flexibility. There aren't as many sizes to choose from as some of Lululemon's other pants options, but the pros certainly outnumber that as the only true con in our opinion.

5. Tear-Away Track Pant Jordan Clarkson

Best Gym Option

  • Pros: Made for training, tears down the side, comfortable, has a locker loop
  • Cons: Limited sizes to choose from
  • Material: 83% Polyester, 17% lycra elastane
  • Sizes: XS - XXL
  • Inseam: N/A
  • Color: Black
  • Fit: Relaxed
  • A Promising Review: "I really love these pants. I’m muscular lean 5’10”. The Large fits great. The fabric has shape and thickness but is breathable. The zippered cuffs are a nice touch. The cuff is nicely tapered but you can unzip to go around a high top shoe. I hope to see more colors" - Ron, Lululemon Reviewer

If you really want to take it to the next level, we recommend the Tear-Away Track Pant which is also inspired by Jordan Clarkson. What makes these different from the cargo pants. For starters, these pants have tear-away snaps located on the sides of the pants. There's also way more pockets on these including the zippered hand pockets on the front, and the zippered pocket in the back. Another difference? The pants have a locker loop that allow you to hang them if needed. If you are wondering about the comfort and fit, our editors found these to be comfortable and loose without steering towards being too big.

It should also be mentioned that these pants are water-repellent as well. That means if you want to workout in the rain, snow, or whatever floats your boat, your $168 won't be down the drain. If you are a workout enthusiast or athlete, we definitely suggest adding these into your athletic/athleisure lineup.

6. License to Train Jogger

Best Lululemon Joggers for Men

  • Pros: Has an inseam option, durable, comfortable, made for training
  • Cons: Limited sizes to choose from
  • Material: 53% Recycled polyester, 43% elastomultiester, 4% elastane
  • Sizes: XS - XXL
  • Inseam: 30," 32"
  • Color: Dark Forest, Heathered Bone, Cassis, True Navy, Black, and 4 others
  • Fit: Classic
  • A Promising Review: "Love these pants, this is my second pair and maybe not my last. They have held up well for lounging, working out, travelling and hiking. One of my favourite features is the back pocket placement for my phone. Not so far back that I sit ON it, and not so forward that its silhouette is on display. Zippered pockets keep the shape of the pant and your body lines intact, no unsightly baggy pockets and your stuff won’t fall out when you’re sitting or jumping around. Plus it’s cool enough on hot days when I need coverage on my legs from sun or bugs." - Kenny, Lululemon Reviewer

If we had to pick one pair of joggers to recommend from Lululemon, the License to Train Jogger is a no-brainer because of their technical features. These joggers are abrasion-resistant, water-repellent, and come with the four-way stretch needed for running, jumping, squatting, burpees, or any other exercise required for an intense workout without having to worry about ripping or tearing. Even with the stretch and flexibility, however, we like how the pants are still well-fitted in the glutes and thigh area, and the tapered cut towards the bottom gives these joggers a refined enough look to be worn outside of the gym if that's what you prefer.

There's loads of color selections available as well other than the standard black and green colors if you want to play around a bit.

Best Technical Lululemon Pants for Men

  • Pros: Roomy fit, has a good amount of stretch, multiple pockets, nice design
  • Cons: Could run slightly big, no inseam option
  • Material: 54% Elastomultiester, 33% cotton, 13% elastane
  • Sizes: XS - XXL
  • Inseam: N/A
  • Color: Black, Trench, Classic Navy
  • Fit: Relaxed
  • A Promising Review: "Great quality, relaxed, cropped fit. I’m 5’7 and they sit on top of my foot, a couple rolls and they sit at my ankle. I have 3 colours and they’re my go to everyday bottom. Please make them in the obsidian or graphite grey!" - Anthony, Lululemon Reviewer

If you want a Lululemon pant that steers towards the technical side with compromising it's slightly dress and athletic nature, look no further than the Utilitech Pull-On Relaxed-Fit Pant which is combination of rugged meets refreshing. Within the pants are a canvas-like fabric that allows you to withstand the wear and tear of everyday wear, there's also strategic vents placed in different areas of the pants which help allow for extra comfort, and a zipper pocket that are discreetly placed on the back of the pants. The pants are easy to slip on and off without any trouble, the blend of materials make for prime comfort.

One of the elements our editors loved most is the thermal nature of the pants as they do a solid job of keeping you warm during cool weather, which makes them a good option for fall and winter seasons in particular.

Best Lululemon Tapered Pants

  • Pros: Roomy fit, has a good amount of stretch, versatile colors, great quality
  • Cons: No inseam option
  • Material: 51% Cotton, 26% recycled nylon, 17% linen, 6% elastane
  • Sizes: XS - XXL
  • Inseam: N/A
  • Color: Leopardo Jacquard MED Black, Leopardo Jacquard MED Dove Grey
  • Fit: Relaxed
  • A Promising Review: "Truly love this pants. Casual, but you can wear them anywhere." - Milo, Lululemon Reviewer

A moment for the Lululemon lab Jacquard Relaxed-Tapered Pant, which instantly stands out because of its textured jacquard composition. The definition of showing out without doing too much, the pants are definitely comfortable due to their cotton, recycled nylon, linen, and elastane makeup. Best described as a blend between trousers and sweatpants, Lululemon says the ergonomic pattern is what makes the pants so mobile, and similar to their other offerings, you can find multiple pockets as well. While there are no inseams choices available on this one, there is a drawcord inside of the pants that allows you to adjust your fit.

We also very much like the two colors offered as they are bound to go with just about anything in your closet quite easily.

9. ABC Classic-Fit Trouser

Best Lululemon Trousers

  • Pros: Nice semi-casual look, large range of sizes, can choose inseam length, comfortable
  • Cons: Could run big/small
  • Material: 53% Elastomultiester, 47% recycled polyester
  • Sizes: 28 - 46
  • Inseam: 28", 30," 32," 34," 37"
  • Color: Dark Forest, Nomad, Artifact, Trench, True Navy, and 5 others
  • Fit: Classic
  • A Promising Review: "Simply put these are the best pants you can buy. There are dupes of them for a reason- because they are the real deal. Fit is fantastic, not too tight but not too loose. You can bend, jump, run, walk, whatever you need to do in these - you can do it comfortably. My only regret is not buying more. 10/10 pant" - Michael, Lululemon Reviewer

Previously known as the Commission Pant, the ABC Classic-Fit Trouser is back and better than ever. What makes this new version different from the old is the removal of back-knee seam, which in turn gives the pants a slightly more dressy look. Some of the basic Lululemon features are very much present with these such as the multiple pockets and reflective detailing, but we're keen on the fit. Our editors really like the tapered fit of the pants as they hug your waist and things just enough, but not to the point where you would consider the pants to be ill-fitting because they are also accompanied with four-way stretch.

Additionally, the pants get back to normal after a regular wash without the shape being ruined or excess wrinkles, which is another bonus. Factor in the comfort, and once again you've basically got a perfect pair of pants.
