The CRZ Yoga Butterluxe High-Waisted Legging 25" is the most widely cited Lululemon Align alternative. It costs about $32 on CRZ YOGA's US site, uses 81% polyamide (nylon) and 19% Lycra, and comes in XXS-XL, with a separate plus-size version in 1X-4X. Reviewers commonly compare the soft feel to Align, and the page lists around 25 colors. The trade-offs are thin fabric, pale-color opacity and durability, so it is a value pick rather than a premium one.

On this page
Fit and sizing
The standard listing runs XXS to XL, with a 25 inch length on the page. A separate Butterluxe Plus Size listing covers 1X to 4X at about $36. The brand says the fabric is stretchy enough for early pregnancy, and page reviewers say it runs slightly large. A page reviewer specifically mentions no rolling waistband.
Fabric and feel
The fabric is listed as 81% polyamide and 19% Lycra, with very gentle compression and a brushed four-way stretch. That is the same blend Lululemon lists for the Align with Pockets (81% nylon, 19% Lycra). Owners commonly say it feels very close to Align. The page makes no opacity claim. Owners often note that dark colors are fine, and that light colors can show through when stretched, and some say the fabric pills over time.
How it performs for yoga and lounging
This is a yoga, Pilates and lounge legging. Page reviewers report wearing it for yoga, running and weights, but the fabric is thin, so it is not an ideal lifting legging. There are no pockets. For a pocket legging, see the Align with Pockets or the Girlfriend Collective Compressive Pocket.
Price and value
At about $32, it costs roughly a third of the Lululemon Align at $98. The listing shows around 25 colors. Value is the main reason to buy. Durability is the question, and some owners say it does not last as long as premium leggings, so it can be worth buying one to test the feel.
Alternatives
For a squat-proof claim, see the Gymshark New Whitney. For a soft feel with more premium construction, see the Vuori Daily. Our best cheap leggings page lists more budget picks.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you need squat-proof assurance, pockets, or long-term durability under heavy use.

The verdict
The best-known Align alternative: a soft, buttery-feeling legging for a fraction of the price, with plus sizes available. Buy it if softness and value matter most, and treat the first pair as a test of the feel. Skip it if you need squat-proof opacity, pockets, or a legging that will last for years of hard training.
