Let’s face it: Not all activewear is created equal. A sports bra that digs into the skin or leggings that cling in all the wrong places aren’t exactly confidence boosters. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for styles that prioritize comfort while flattering our bodies. Enter: Lululemon’s new Glow Up collection.
Launched this month, the collection features training apparel designed to not only provide support, but also sculpt and smooth. The first five pieces — a tank top, three pairs of leggings in varying lengths and an exercise onesie — are all made with an updated version of the brand's proprietary Ultralu fabric, intended to "mould" or "hug" the body "for a sleek, supportive look and feel," according to a press release. The leggings also feature flattering new silhouettes, thanks to more subtle seaming and a streamlined waistband, which "deliver a held-in sensation." The brand plans to add more styles to the collection later this year.
In addition to the seemingly shapewear-inspired details, the pieces are also sweat-wicking, quick-drying and abrasion-resistant, not to mention versatile enough to pair seamlessly with other Lululemon favorites. Wear the Glow Up tank with your favorite high-waisted leggings or sport the square-neck onesie under your favorite jacket, whether you’re headed to the gym or running errands.
Shop the Glow Up collection below, plus more Lululemon new arrivals, from belt bags in fresh spring colors to a trendy boatneck tee.
Lululemon Glow Up collection
Lululemon Glow Up Tank Top Medium Support (B/C Cup)
Whether you're eyeing it for training or for casual, everyday wear, this tank is a worthwhile investment (especially with spring on the horizon). Made from Lululemon's new Ultralu fabric, it was designed to smooth and sculpt, offering a flattering look and "held-in" feel, according to the brand. The inclusion of a built-in shelf bra works to deliver extra shape and support for your bust, while delicate seams along the sides follow your natural form to create a contoured look, per Lululemon.
Shop TODAY editorial assistant Madison San Miguel recently tried this tank top and it's already a winner in her books: "I’m a huge fan of workout tops with built-in bras because it saves time searching for a matching one. However, built-in bras aren’t always the most supportive for larger chests (I’m a 36DD), but the Lululemon Glow Up Tank offered an ample amount of support and coverage for my bust. It was really great at shaping them, too. The fabric is smoothing and moisture-wicking, so I felt pretty comfortable throughout my workout."
Lululemon Glow Up Super High Rise Crop Leggings (23 Inch)
If you're petite or just prefer cropped leggings, these high-rise tights are the ones for you. Not only are they made with Ultralu, ensuring that they have four-way stretch and that they're sweat-wicking, quick-drying and sculpting, but the hems are seam-free. This means they won't dig in around the calves or ankles — wherever the hemline hits on you.
Lululemon Glow Up Super High Rise Leggings (25 Inch)
Just a little longer and available in more colors, such as this vibrant coral, these Glow Up leggings will have you feeling stylish and smoothed through the rear and thighs, all the way to your ankles. Per Lululemon, if you love Wunder Train leggings, you should stick to your usual size. But if Align leggings are your favorite, the brand suggests considering one size up.
Lululemon Glow Up Super High Rise Leggings (28 Inch)
The longest of the Glow Up leggings are this 28-inch pair, which come in six different colors, including this magenta shade that's sure to help you beat the winter blues. Like the other lengths, it sculpts and defines — even at the waist, which creates a strong hold despite minimal seams.
San Miguel also gave these leggings a spin and she found them comfortable enough for both the gym and everyday wear. "I am that one person who wears sweatpants at the gym; I can’t help but love being comfortable. I don’t always love leggings because of that, but these super-high-rise tights make me feel nicely held in. The waist band doesn’t roll down, and instead, enhances the waist without making my stomach bulge. The seams at the back are also meant to lift and enhance the butt, which I didn’t complain about!"
Lululemon Glow Up Onesie
Who doesn't love a one-and-done outfit? Combining Lululemon's beloved 6-inch shorts with a timeless square-neck top, this onesie uses Ultralu fabric to hold shape and provide stretch, while also flattering the midsection. While the fabric is quick-drying and sweat-wicking, there's also a cut-out in the back for added breathing room. Wear it indoors now, and in the spring pair it with your favorite light jacket, crossbody and sneakers for an athleisure look you'll never want to take off.

Lululemon Insulated Tumbler
If you're a member of the "emotional support water bottle" club, consider giving this new tumbler a try. It's made from double-walled stainless steel, fits most cup holders, has a built-in silicone coaster, and the stainless steel straw comes with a removable silicone tip to protect your straw, per the brand.
Lululemon Sculpt Tank Top
While a tight tank is ideal for certain workouts, when it comes to running, a super breathable and loose style is favored among many. This one has mesh details around the shoulders and back, which add breathability. And the rounded hip-length hem flatters the body, while providing full coverage.
Lululemon Everywhere Small Sling Bag
Like the belt bag but with a fresh twist, the Everywhere Sling Bag keeps all of your essentials hands-free and at the ready, while remaining a stylish accessory you'll be proud to wear.

Lululemon's Align collection is famous for a reason: It's buttery soft, weightless and flexible for all kinds of activities. This 6-inch style is long enough to keep you feeling covered, yet short enough to flatter the thigh.
Lululemon Fast and Free High-Rise Classic-Fit Split Short (3 Inch)

Lululemon Scuba Cropped Relaxed Crewneck
Stay warm in style with this cozy, cropped crewneck sweatshirt. With a fleecy lining, it's warm and soft against the skin, but still lightweight and breathable, per the brand. The loose fit keeps it comfortable and casual, but the elasticated waist gives it shape.
