By now, SPY readers are probably familiar with lululemon, and with the fact that we’re big fans of this athletic apparel company. They’re one of the rare brands in the world of menswear that has mastered the art of high-performance, stylish clothing. Their pieces aren’t just made for sweating, but built for moving, breathing and living in as well. You can don anything from lululemon just as easily at the gym as you can on the hiking trail, an airplane or at the grocery store.
The new fall line from lululemon is full of new high-performance fits that are perfect for the latter half of the year. As the temperature changes, so do our clothing needs, and lululemon is aimed at making that transition as easy as possible with their new pieces.
Picking out and organizing a new wardrobe for a new season can be tricky, so we’re here to help. We’ve combed through their collection, both the new pieces and their signature classics, and found exactly what you need for fall. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your training uniform or need a high-performance pair of joggers to jet set with, there’s something in this list for you.
We’ve divided up our picks into categories — shorts and hoodies, shorts and joggers, jackets and vests and accessories — so you can find exactly what you’re looking for.
New Shirts & Hoodies
1. SeaWheeze Fast and Free Short Sleeve Shirt
This is one of lululemon’s newest pieces of athletic wear, and it’s also a bright, bold, stylish piece that comes in colors perfect for fall. (The matching SeaWheeze Joggers are almost sold out.) Not only does this shirt have a fantastic, unique print, it’s also designed with lulu’s sweat-wicking, Breathe Light mesh fabric that’s perfect for running or intense training sessions. It’s also made with No-Stink Zinc technology that’s designed to decrease the growth of odor-causing bacteria on the fabric, and it’s got reflective detailing so you can be seen more easily on the road or trail at night.

2. Drysense Long Sleeve Shirt
This is another new piece of gear available for fall that’s designed for those hard training sessions, indoor or out, and is made with their sweat-wicking fabric and anti-odor tech. It’s got a classic fit, so there’s room for some muscular gains if that’s your goal, and the shirt has underarm gussets for increased mobility. It’s also made with a locker loop so it’s easy to hang.

3. Metal Vent Tech Polo Shirt 2.0
Another must-have for fall 2021? A clean technical polo. This is the ultimate in versatile performance gear right now. Not only will this shirt look great on a museum date, but it will work just as well if you head straight to the gym after. The Metal Vent Tech Polo boasts a seamless construction (AKA bye-bye chafing) and incorporates lulu’s Silverescent technology, which helps block smells at the source. If you’re trying to impress someone at the smoothie bar after your next workout, pull up in one of these and thank us later.

4. At Ease Hoodie
The lululemon At Ease Hoodie is perfect for both chilly fall morning runs and getting cozy on the couch, and it has a bunch of thoughtful little touches that make it perfect for active guys. There’s an underarm gusset for greater mobility, secure zippered pockets, and a locker loop on the back for gym days. And because it’s a lululemon hoodie, it’s crafted with soft and breathable four-way stretch fabric so you can stay cozy and get your training done. When you’re not working out, it’s also perfect for running errands or layering underneath a jean jacket.
In short, it’s got everything you could possibly want in a hoodie.
5. Surge Warm 1/2 Zip
This 1/2 zip lightweight sweatshirt is perfect for running in colder weather.

7. At Ease Crew
We love lululemon for a lot of reasons, but at the moment, we love them for creating a stylish (and technical) crew neck hoodie. Crew neck hoodies have the ability to transcend the genre of “activewear.” Wear them with joggers and you look fly going to the gym. Wear them with chinos and you look smart walking into the office. And with a four-way stretch, breathable fabric, a sly zippered kangaroo pouch up front and even a loop on the back that’s designed for hanging in a locker, you can bet you’ll get plenty out of this handsome hoodie, whether at work or while working out. In short, this beauty is a must-have for fall.

15. Outpour StretchSeal Anorak
Look, running in the summer is great and all, but you know what’s vastly underrated in the world of outdoor exercise? Running in the rain. If you’re inclined to agree, you absolutely need this anorak. For the newcomers out there, an anorak is the lovechild of the hoodie, parka and windbreaker, making it a flexible, packable and stylish wet-weather accessory. And lululemon’s take on the piece? Oustanding. The entire shell is waterproof yet boasts two-way stretch, meaning it can go wherever you dare. Likewise, it packs adjustable cuffs and a cinchable hemline, so water stays on the outside. But our favorite feature of all? The hidden phone sleeve. After all, if you crush a 10-miler in the rain, but don’t post a selfie, did it really happen?
Buy: Outpour StretchSeal Anorak $268.00
Accessories

19. Everywhere Belt Bag 1L
Not a “belt bag guy,” huh? Dear reader, you’re missing out.

No, this is not your dad’s fanny pack, this is lululemon’s take on the classic, with more than a few modern conveniences. For starters, there’s a stash pocket on the back (which is where you keep the truly valuable valuables), a large interior pocket for everything else, and even a mesh pocket inside to keep things organized. And did we mention it’s water-repellant? Yup. Remind us, why are backpacks better?
