• Standout athleisure piece: Fleece Full-Zip Jacket, $29.90

Let’s go with the brand that we selected for the best budget alternative, as Uniqlo's pricing is definitely less costly overall compared to Lululemon's, offering a range of relatively inexpensive options for men, women, and children's athletic apparel. Uniqlo is a company that you will instantly fall in love with due to the high quality products that you can cop on a budget, a diverse catalog selection to choose from, and the overall pricing of their clothing. The only negative is that it can sometimes be hard to purchase certain items as they sellout quite fast. Other than that, they are a great brand to shop from.

• Standout athleisure piece: Nike Sportswear Tech Fleece, $115

Obviously brands like Nike have to go on this list because of their mass appeal, continuous releases, and sick collaborations. Nike not only has a vast selection of athleisure wear to choose from, but they have also collaborated with brands and celebrities such as Off-White for example to add more of a luxury element to it. The sizing/fitting is excellent as well, which is why we selected it as our most compatible sizing.

We chose Fabletics as the most compatible aesthetic because it is probably the brand that draws the most comparisons from a visual standpoint to Lululemon. While there are a lot of similarities, Fabletics is its own brand that has rightfully accomplished its own success in the world of athleisure. Catering to both men and women, Fabletics boasts high-quality clothing equipped with state-of-the-art technology that makes their clothes breathable and comfortable, while still remaining stylish.

• Standout athleisure piece: Zella Powertek Full Zip Hoodie, $42 - $85

There are tons of reasons to check out Zella. One, it’s a Nordstrom. Two, the quality is superb. Three, it’s Nordstrom.

• Standout athleisure piece: Commuter Shirt Classic Fit, $138

Rhone has definitely risen through the ranks over these last couple of years with their men’s athletic/athleisure apparel. The only bummer is the fact that at the present time, Their menswear is among some of the highest quality you’ll find when it comes to athletic wear, and we can personally vouch for them because we gotten to try several Rhone pieces in the past. What you get from the brand are tried and true classic items that are also very functional and technical in their nature. These pieces age well over time, have sweat and odor-wicking, and are structured to prevent piling or any other kind of damage. Truly a great brand to shop from.

We’re huge fans of Olivers Apparel over here. With an extensive brand history dating back to the early 1900s, Olivers Apparel is a family brand whose name has been carried on through the course of multiple decades in regions like New York (Brooklyn to be exact), Salt Lake City, and Long Beach. The mission Olivers Apparel remains the same as what it did circa 1900, with the goal being to create quality clothes that are durable. Another cool thing about Oliver’s Apparel is their commitment to customer service, as they offer what’s called an  “Oliver’s Guarantee,” which means they will repair or replace with a fault outside of normal wear and tear for up to 12 months after purchase.

Champion is a life-long tried and true over in our opinion as well. An option that truly will never disappoint. Awesome pricing (you can find great quality joggers for less than $15 which is especially awesome), tons of athletic and athleisure wear, and pretty neat collaborations that the brand unveils from time to time. Whether you are looking for a classic hoodie ($41.25), some regular joggers that you can lounge around in ($33.75), or a nice little lightweight jacket ($37.50), Champion more than has you covered.

• Standout athleisure piece: Signature Coolmax Sweater, $98

We got an opportunity to try out the Fourlaps brand last year, and the quality of the clothing was amazing. A relatively newer brand that is really beginning to make their mark in the world of athletic fashion, Fourlaps features premium workout clothes as their defining feature, but also have other categories to select from as well. They're also another environmentally friendly company, which is something that we love as well.

• Standout athleisure piece: All Day Every Day Jogger, $89

Last but not least, we’ve got Public Rec. If you haven’t given Public Rec a shot, we strongly suggest you do at some point simply because of comfort and laid back looks that you can create. We know for a fact that there’s at least 300 products on the site, so you can certainly find something that fits your individual style. In addition to the jogger we listed above, we're also quite fond of the Go-To Long Sleeve Henley ($78), the Workday Chino ($138), and the Waffle-Knit Hoodie ($98).
