Lululemon’s ‘We Made Too Much’ Section Is Bursting With Packable Summer Styles

Whether your summer travel wardrobe is filled with athleisure essentials or more fashion-forward pieces, Lululemon’s “We Made Too Much” section is the one place you can rely on to uncover airport-ready styles at far more wallet-friendly prices than the rest of its site. Luckily, the retailer just did a sweeping restock of the section, offering up countless fresh styles to add to your suitcase for your next trip—including exercise dresses, joggers, skirts, and more starting at just $39.

After visiting the site to stock up on versatile activewear essentials for my own upcoming travels, I’ve compiled a list of the 15 best picks, with markdowns up to 43 percent off. From cozy in-flight layers to sleek pieces that’ll turn heads on the streets no matter where in the world you are, these are the summer-friendly Lululemon styles you’ll want to claim as your own before they sell out.

Cotton Crochet Mesh Relaxed-fit Cardigan

Lululemon is primarily known for its high-quality activewear, but its “We Made Too Much” section is also stocked with sleek lifestyle picks like this bold crochet cardigan—the perfect addition to chilly flights. The relaxed-fitting layer is easily dressed up or down; and while it will instantly become a year-round statement wardrobe piece, it’s especially great to have on hand for cool beach evenings and al fresco dinners in the summer time. Made from a soft cotton blend that feels luxurious against the skin, wear it open or closed thanks to three gorgeous buttons.

Stretch Woven Ruffle-waist Midi Skirt

This stunning lilac midi skirt may be stylish, but it’s also sure to be one of the most comfortable pieces in your travel wardrobe this summer—and it’s under $100 now. The stretchy elastic waistband is designed not to dig into your skin, so you can wear it comfortably on long sightseeing days or even on a cross-country flight. Plus, the longer hemline ensures you’ll stay covered while the lightweight, wrinkle-resistant fabric will keep you cool amidst  rising temperatures. And whether you prefer a low- or high-rise, this A-line skirt will look great either way.

Lightweight Split-back Training T-shirt

To avoid feeling stifled by tight fabric while traveling, choose this loose-fitting split-back tee. Designed as activewear, trust that it’ll keep you sweat-free no matter the weather. The flowy top is ultra stretchy with a fabric that’s specifically designed not to lose its shape. It’s made from a sweat-wicking polyester blend that packs down easily and won’t take up much space in your suitcase; right now it’s just $49 in five dreamy pastel shades.

Scuba High-rise Mini Skirt

Your go-to summer mini skirt doesn’t need to sacrifice comfort to be stylish. Don’t believe me? Just look at this high-rise mini that’s designed with a smooth, thick waistband that lays flat against the skin. The breathable cotton-blend construction is a great swap for denim. Its versatile shape will look just as great styled with sneakers as it will with a pair of kitten heels. It comes in a range of six bright and neutral shade options starting at just $39. Pick up more than one color without maxing out your budget.

Zeroed In Short-sleeve Shirt

You should always invest in clothing made from high-quality materials. The Zeroed In Short-sleeve Shirt is the best example; on the surface, it appears to be another plain T-shirt, but it’s made from a moisture-wicking soft cotton blend that effortlessly ties comfort with function. The relaxed fit is flattering and easy to style with every pair of shorts or pants in your suitcase, and you’ll even be able to tell by the weight of the fabric that this is a clear upgrade from your other closet staples.

Swift Speed High-rise Shorts 6-inch

A high-quality pair of stretchy, long-line shorts will be an invaluable addition to your suitcase this summer, and seeing as this high-rise option is fitted with two deep side pockets, it’s no question that they’re your best choice. Designed for running, these shouldn’t ride up with every step. Plus, they’re made with a thick, comfortable waistband that won’t dig into your skin or feel restrictive. They’re a great pick to layer beneath a mini dress if you’re seeking more coverage, but they can also be worn while hiking and for more strenuous activities in the sumer heat since the fabric is quick-drying and sweat-wicking.

Softstreme High-rise Straight-leg Cropped Pants

Comfy travel pants are always “in”—regardless of the season. This cropped pair is our favorite way to test out the newly-returned capri trend without veering too far off the full-length pants path. These are more elevated than sweatpants (but have a shockingly similar feel), and the high-rise waist is secured with an adjustable drawcord, so you can easily achieve your perfect fit. The pockets are fitted with a subtle card sleeve to safely store essentials while on the go, and perhaps most impressive of all, they’re currently almost $50 off.

Scuba Mid-rise Oversized Short 7-inch Graphic

Summer isn’t exactly the time you’ll want to slip on sweatpants when you’re in the mood for something comfy, but don’t let the heat stop you from traveling in loungewear. Take this as your sign to snatch up these oversized sweatshorts while they’re under $60. Made with the same stretchy elastic waistband and cozy fleece-lined fabric as your favorite pair of sweats, they cut off just above the knees for added air flow with a slouchy, relaxed fit. They’re even available in sizes ranging from 3XS to XL, and boast deep pockets practically made to hold your go-to airport snacks.

Soft Jersey Shorts 5-inch

Aside from being comfortable and offering that ideal casual fit for summer travel, these jersey shorts are also super stylish and versatile, lending themselves to endless styling potential. Made with a soft, brushed fabric that’s both stretchy and quick-drying, these simple shorts are far more travel-friendly than classic rigid styles (but they still have deep pockets), plus the neutral color options make them easy to style with basic tees and bolder options alike. And if you like a longer inseam, the seven-inch shorts are also available for $49 right now.

Organic Cotton Cinched-waist Dress

If you don’t already have an exercise dress in your closet, this is your opportunity to snag a comfortable and breezy mini to travel in while it’s just $59. Made from a lightweight organic cotton fabric and decorated with flattering scrunched detailing at the back, the functional piece is as easily styled for a day of sightseeing as it is for an afternoon by the pool. It lands just above the knee for the perfect amount of coverage, while the high-neck design is on-trend and sleek. Dresses may have never been on your radar for travel days, but that will all change with this breezy piece in your collection.

Women’s Restfeel Flip-flop

Weary travelers will be happy to have a cushy, supportive pair of sandals to slip on after a long day on their feet, which is exactly why you’ll want to add the Restfeel Flip-flops to your shopping cart while they’re marked down to $49 this summer. The cloud-like insoles are lined with a super-soft fabric atop a layer of foam, while the outsoles are crafted with durable rubber that provides traction on everything from smooth airport floors to uneven cobblestone streets. They’re supportive and breathable enough to wear on a walking tour, but if you’re tied to wearing sneakers on the go, these recovery slides will offer much-needed reprieve for tired feet at the end of the day.

Align High-rise Crop 23-inch Leggings

Lululemon is perhaps best known for its buttery soft leggings, and this high-rise, cropped pair is a must-have for the summer while it’s almost $20 off in a hot pink shade. The Align leggings are made to feel like a second layer of skin—comfortable for yoga, traveling, and everything in between. They move with your body without ever feeling restrictive or digging in, and the wide waistband is home to a hidden card pocket for stashing items while you’re out and about. Most importantly, they’re both sweat-wicking and quick-drying.

Softstreme High-rise Wide-leg Pique Pants

If you’re going to wear a pair of long pants in the summer, it should at least be a pick that’s as loose and breathable as this $89 option—and it certainly doesn’t hurt that they come in the most beautiful lilac shade. Don’t worry about feeling restricted by tight, uncomfortable fabric since these pants are made with a wide-leg design complete with slits at the hems, and a cooling material that will feel great even after touching down in a toasty destination. They’re the perfect style to dress up or down with the right accessories, available in sizes 3XS to XL.

Softstreme Full-zip Hoodie

Whether you’re looking for a lightweight in-flight layer or sweatshirt to travel with in case weather takes a turn for the worse, this full-zip hoodie is the way to go—and right now, it’s almost $20 off. The generous, boxy fit is loose-fitting and easy to slip on and off in a hurry. Crafted with a subtle bubble hem, adding a playful touch to an otherwise simple piece of loungewear, the sweatshirt is made from Lululemon’s classic softstreme fabric that’s airy and gentle against the skin. Plus, it’s quick-drying and stretchy, ensuring your unending comfort during your trip.

Smooth Spacer Joggers

Far more put-together than your favorite pair of sweatpants, these brushed joggers are guaranteed to become your new go-to travel pants all year-long—and you can snag them for under $100 right now. While they may feel like sweats, the tailored look allows them to be dressed up to look your most chic at the airport. Made with stretchy, quick-drying fabric that makes them uniquely functional and great for long days of traveling, they’re available in sizes XS to 2XL with three inseam lengths to find your perfect fit, and the four neutral colorway options are versatile and flattering.
