Detailed review ahead (girl, be ready for a novel)….I have to say first that I am a die hard lululemon fan, but I work as a choreographer every summer for a well respected theatre camp. Last year, all my lululemon running shorts and most of my tanks were on their last leg. I had heard about these online and wanted to give them a try as an alternative for summer camp, as I could spend less and buy more colors to mix and match. WOW! For the money you can’t go wrong.
I purchased the white, black, denim blue, and jade green tanks and the matching mesh lined high waist running shorts. I am 5’7 and your typical smedium 32dd. I ordered medium across the board. I rapidly lose weight over the summer due to the heat and the exercise. I feel these will fit me if I fluctuate as low as about 15 pounds lighter.
Tanks- These are fantastic. They are not for super high impact, but for lower/ medium impact dance they are great. I can also see myself wearing these all summer as loungewear or with shorts. If I sized down it would’ve given me more cleavage than I wanted. I may try taking in the liner a bit for more security near the end of summer when I’ve dropped weight. Great lululemon dupe. Comfortable and flattering. The ONLY con I have is that the size varied slightly by color. The black and white fit more snug (which I preferred). The denim blue and Jade green fit a little looser as you can see in the side profile picture of the denim blue set.
Shorts- these are great dupes as well! The back pocket completely fits my iPhone XR. The side pocket is super secure and deep. The shorts are slightly longer in the back. The high waist is pretty small and includes about an inch of tighter elastic. I personally like this for camp so my walkie doesn’t pull them down, but if you have more of a square figure it may pay to size up. The tank meets right where these shorts start. My only complaint on these is sometimes the way they lay can look a bit funky in the crotch area, but nothing too major. The colors all looked great. I wore the white with red underwear and it didn’t show through where the mesh liner was.
As a set- Black is perfect and what you’d expect. The white is a CRISP white. Like, it made me pull out my teeth whitener white. It’s beautiful, but literally my Snow White OPI nail polish even looked a tad dingy in comparison. The Jade green shorts were a slightly different shade than the tank. It was not enough for my husband to notice without telling him. For some reason it looks a lot different in the photo but they’re more similar in person. The blue is a pretty darn close match. If anything, the band is slightly different due to the different material. It’s not a dealbreaker for me, as I plan to mix and match a lot
Final thoughts- I love them. I sent both my sisters the links to them, I will live in them all summer, and I will be buying more sets in a variety of colors. Lululemon who?

Pretty similar to lululemon running shorts, I’ll be ordering more colours. Found they fit a size small. Would go up one size

These shorts are identical to lulu lemon shorts at a much less price. They fit true to size. I am usually a small and the small fits me perfectly. They wick sweat. I wear them to work in the yard regularly and just around the house because they are so comfortable. The only difference between these and the lulu shorts is the small tiny logo on the back. I love them so much that I have them in at least 4 colors. My daughter is a lulu snob and asked me “when did you get those lulu shorts”. Will order again in other colors. So far I have pink gray black and blue. They are not see through, they are great for working out and the zipper on the back is a great quality.

I was initially worried these shorts wouldn’t measure up to the Lulu brand, but I was so wrong! The material is identical to Lulu’s—soft, durable, and high-quality. The inner lining is a game-changer: not too tight like some Lulu liners can be, making them super comfortable. These shorts stay in place during workouts, fit perfectly, and don’t ride up. I’m beyond impressed and can’t wait to wear them for more workouts. The colors match the pictures provided. I have two colors! Purple and orange! Highly recommend!

I am 5’2″, 140lbs generally a Large bottom. Got these in Medium Wine Red based on reviews and intending to wear them high waisted. They do feel a bit tight around my waist (34in), and they are SHORT worn like this… I cannot imagine a taller person or long legs!! Worn high-waisted these have about a 2in inseam, and it rolls up sometimes when I’ve been active a while which is really annoying.
The back pocket is roomy for my phone (Samsung s10) to have a snug fit and doesn’t feel like it flops around when I’m active. The front pocket is on the left side and suitable for a house key or room card or lip balm or something small.
The mesh is light and these are light wicking. The liner is loose…. like quite loose. If I had a Large, I would have been swimming in it. So not great if you don’t want to wear undies with these!
The fabric is a sporty, lightweight fabric as expected and food for watersport as well as an alternative to swim bottoms. If they get wet (red wine color) it’s noticeable from sweat or other liquids. The waist band is a softer stretch fabric and feels nice against the skin and nonchafing.
These are very well made and high quality shorts. The color is a true wine red and very pretty.

I’ll qualify this review by clarifying that there are very few pairs of running shorts that I’ve owned that has checked every box for me.
Pros-
The high waist on these is fantastic
Great pockets
Pretty color
Breathable & quick dry
Comfortable
Cons-
These shorts don’t move with me. The hem tends to roll up with movement. Since the shorts already have a short inseam, I don’t feel like I can wear them out in public. It’s totally fine for my purposes since I bought them for home workouts, but I’m sure most people expect to be able to wear them out and about.
Fit- I’m normally a 6/8 or M in pants and shorts. I sized up to a L based on others’ comments, and I’m glad I did since I don’t like my workout shorts to be tight.
