LULULEMON IS ESSENTIALLY the “Google” of athleisure brands—and we mean that in the best way possible. Like the search engine, it’s somewhat of an eponym, meaning it’s basically intertwined with general performance wear until further notice. And while there are plenty of competitors we love, lululemon is iconic, and its prices generally reflect that. But there are some exceptions.

Right now, the brand’s “We Made Too Much” section is loaded with summer savings. For a limited time, you can save up to 60 percent on some of its best-selling styles, many of which have been wear-tested by our editors. From summer workout shirts and gym shorts to joggers and fall pieces, there’s a little bit of everything to be had. A lot of these are available in a bunch of colorways and sizes, too, but we don’t expect that to be the case long-term, especially at these prices. We rounded up some of our favorite deals, but feel free to shop the full selection at your leisure below. Or should we say, at your “athleisure.” Nailed it.

I’ll briefly go through some of my personal favorites. Our best-tested lululemon workout shirt, the License to Train Short Sleeve Shirt, unfortunately isn’t included, but there are some comparable alternatives in that department. The Pique Performer Relaxed T-Shirt offers a similar casual vibe, and it’s now 33 percent off. Its Mile Maker Mesh Short-Sleeve Shirt and the Metal Vent Tech Short-Sleeve Shirt are a little more breathable and cardio-friendly, and they’re now 43 percent and 50 percent off, respectively.

The Pace Breaker Linerless Shorts tested as the most comfortable gym shorts during our trials, and they’re now a whopping 43 percent off (just under $40). They’re lightweight, airy, and feature plenty of storage options for when you’re at the gym or on the go. If you’re a fan of non-lined workout shorts, these are a must-own.

We’re closing out Summer, so it’s time to start thinking about your Fall fits. Lululemon has you covered. Arguably the best deal comes courtesy of 60 percent off the brand’s ultra-soft Cotton-Blend Knit Collared Cardigan, now available for under $60 (Regularly $148). It’s also a great option for late summer, as the brand infused its proprietary Coolmax technology for maximum breathability.

Our favorite pair of travel pants (and really, pants in general), the ABC Pants, are also 50 percent off right now. They’re the perfect mix between your classic chino and high-level-performance sweats. They feature the brand’s anti-ball-crushing technology and are made from a smooth, light fabric for easy everyday wear. Under $65 is a steal.

Some of our other favorite deals include 46 percent off the versatile Waffle-Knit Half Zip (now $69), 50 percent off the casual Zeroed In Classic-Fit Cargo Joggers (now $59), and 33 percent off another fantastic workout shirt, Fast and Free Short-Sleeve Shirt (now $59).
