I JOINED MEN’S HEALTH’S style team in 2021, and in that time, a wave of new athleisure brands has flooded the market with moisture-wicking dress-shirts, stretchy chinos, and stink-fighting hoodies. But few can compete with lululemon. The Canadian brand has evolved far beyond its signature leggings, becoming our style team’s go-to for men’s basics and workout clothes that look as good as they feel. That premium reputation is also why lulu almost never marks down its bestsellers—until now. The brand’s early Black Friday deals just landed, and this is the first time I’ve seen fan favorites like the State Pullover Hoodie (one of the best we’ve ever tested) actually go on sale.

Our style editor Joseph Cheatham raves about the State Pullover’s quick-drying-yet cozy fabric. “Thanks to the brushed interior, you get that next-to-skin warmth that keeps you feeling toasty when the temps dip,” he wrote in his review of the best hoodies. Plus it’s pretty stylish for a hoodie, and looks decent with jeans for my weekend errands. Also on rare discount: the ABC Trouser, one of our favorite chinos. Its proprietary Anti-Ball-Crushing design lives up to the name, using a gusset that eases tension through the crotch and thighs. It’s a staple in our style team’s work uniforms, and its clean cut pairs well with everything from T-shirts to button-ups.

Two other deals worth flagging: the Cityverse Sneaker and the Fast Track Bag. The former is one of lululemon’s most versatile shoes. It’s lightweight, cushioned, and sleek enough to wear with joggers or jeans. In fact, the Cityverse has replaced by adidas Sambas as my go-to casual shoe. The Fast Track Bag, meanwhile, is a great grab-and-go option for the gym or office. It has smart internal organization, a sturdy build, and a compact shape that doesn’t feel bulky on your commute.
Black Friday is still be a few days away (November 28), but these are already some of the best athleisure deals I’ve seen. And because lululemon rarely marks down its bestsellers, they’ll likely sell out fast. If something catches your eye, grab it now. And keep an eye on this page—we’ll be updating it with more lululemon deals as they drop.
