A lululemon Review: Align High-Rise Shorts

Lululemon’s Align High-Rise Bike Shorts have become my #1 pair of go-to exercise shorts, so I figured I’d give you guys a full review on why I love them so much!

Fabric

Everything in lululemon’s Align line is made from their trademarked Nulu fabric that offers a buttery soft, second skin sort of feel while fully supporting your hard work. Plus, the Lycra fibre perfects the four-way stretch and shape retention of these shorts.

Sizing/Fit

For me, the Align shorts do not ride up. I also took my true size in all lululemon bottoms—a size 4. I found I didn’t need to size down in Align shorts at all! Not only do I love working out in these shorts, but what’s so great about them is that you can create multiple lululemon biker shorts outfits centered around them that look just as good when you’re simply running errands. Perfect example: I paired the lululemon Scuba Hoodie Full Zip with these shorts to wear to pilates and then to run to the grocery store immediately after! This hoodie is literally perfect to throw on as fall creeps in and looks great with any and all lululemon bottoms.

Activities

These biker shorts are designed for activities like Yoga, however I love these shorts for more intense workouts too! If you’re wondering about lululemon’s Wunder Train High Rise biker shorts vs the Align Biker shorts, be sure to check out this post I wrote about the former back in July!

My Review

The lululemon Align shorts are totally worth it. The fit is flattering and supportive and, because they’re so wellmade, they last for many washes. This is my third pair, and I fully plan on buying more! I’m typically straightforward in my color choices, but I decided to have a little fun with this pair and got the lululemon Align Shorts in the Diamond Dye colorway.
