As an adult, there are certain essentials you have to spend money on. Rent. Groceries. Lululemon leggings.
We may have lost you on that last one, but hear us out — Lululemon leggings are magical, made from buttery-soft, breathable material that wicks away moisture and conforms to your body through the most intense, sweatiest of workouts. Luxurious, versatile, flattering and stylish, Lululemon leggings are the Cadillac of leggings.
So what’s stopping the world from dressing in Lululemon leggings all day, every day? The coveted tights can be expensive, with the more popular options pricing from $98 to $128. To make matters worse, Lululemon is notorious for rarely having sales. (We’re talking a Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale and maybe an end-of-season sale here or there — but that’s it.)
What’s a Lululemon lover on a budget to do? Five words: Lululemon We Made Too Much (or WMTM for short).
What Is the Lululemon ‘We Made Too Much’ Sale?
The athleisure world’s best-kept secret, Lululemon We Made Too Much, is the Lululemon little-known sale section.

Lululemon restocks its We Made Too Much men’s and women’s sections every Thursday at 5 a.m. PST.

It’s available in multiple colors, but we’re particularly big fans of the Lip Gloss version.

There’s so much to love about the Speed Up Mid-Rise Lined Shorts. They’re lightweight and moisture-wicking and come with a back pocket, plus connected gel pockets on the waistband. In addition, these chic athletic shorts are made from recycled polyester made from repurposed plastic waste. That means whenever you wear them on your runs, you can feel good about getting a workout sesh in and being an eco-conscious shopper.

Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant
The Lululemon Align leggings are a love-at-first-wear kind of leggings. Designed from the brand’s proprietary Nulu fabric, these tights are soft, smooth, flexy and sexy. The fabric is so comfy and weightless the leggings feel like a second skin, reviewers report. Lululemon recommends these leggings for yoga, but we love them for climbing, barre, Pilates, and Trader Joe’s shopping, too.

License to Train Relaxed Short-Sleeve Shirt

According to the brand, you can wear this futuristic anti-sweat shirt during a grueling workout, throw it in your gym bag, and wear it again the next day. You’re going to want to buy it in a couple of colors.
