Lululemon’s “We Made Too Much” Section Is a Treasure Trove of Athleisure Apparel

Act fast, because sizes are selling out faster than you can say, “Align leggings.”

Have you been wearing the same sports bra for a week straight? We’ve done it, too, but it may be a sign your athleisure wardrobe could use a few more pieces. It’s great to get maximum use out of your most-loved clothing items like leggings and sneakers, but when you wear them every single day, less isn’t always more. It could be time to add some new digs into your rotation.

Athletic wear can get expensive, so finding a good deal can feel like hitting the jackpot. And when you find something from a trusted brand that just happens to be marked down? Even better. That’s why the “We Made Too Much” section from lululemon is one of our favorite places to shop, whether for workouts, work, or casual clothes. 

From bright leggings to basic tanks, the brand’s marked-down inventory consists of items they made, you guessed it, too much of. The pieces are in perfect shape, but the brand has a few extras lying around that they’re looking to sell at a lower price. So not only do you get a steal, but you know the quality will last you well beyond your next workout (or a trip to get an iced latte, we’re not judging). The hardest part is not adding everything to your cart, but good luck because items are selling out fast!

What To Buy From lululemon’s We Made Too Much Section Right Now

High Rise Court Rival Skirt

Hitting the court on a hot day is a lot easier when you have breathable (and adorable) clothing to do it in. This skirt is longer in length than the normal Court Rival Skirt, so you’ll have some extra coverage, and the built-in shorts have a pocket perfect for holding an extra ball or your phone.
