My team tested and tried on the best lululemon jackets and sweatshirts for women, and these were the top picks. In this guide you will find detailed reviews, a size and fit guide, and everything you need to choose the jacket or sweatshirt that’s right for you.
One of the most viral lululemon products is the lululemon Scuba Sweatshirt. It’s internet-famous (and with good reason), but not the only lululemon jacket worth investing in.
A few reasons why I love shopping lululemon include:

Best For: lightweight warmth and cozy work-from-home layering.
My entire team owns a variation of this sweatshirt. It truly is the perfect “oversized” fit – cozy, without being too boxy.
The Scuba Sweatshirts quickly sell out whenever a new color is launched. They’re classics for a reason, and their popularity isn’t going away anytime soon.
These sweatshirts are designed for lightweight warmth. Naturally breathable cotton-blend fleece keeps you cozy, without being too heavy or bulky.
Sizing Notes: the Scuba sweatshirts come in XS/S, M/L and XL/XXL. I recommend sizing up if you prefer an oversized fit, or stick with your typical size for a more fitted look. Megan is pictured wearing a size M/L in the Oversized Half-Zip Scuba Hoodie.
Best For: ultimate softness. The best lounging sweatshirt.
Super soft, peach-fuzz like fabric makes this sweatshirt one of the comfiest items in my closet.
I wore this sweatshirt through pregnancy and postpartum and haven’t taken it off since. This crew sweatshirt is slightly oversized, but cropped to hit right at the hips.
One thing to note is that water marks do show up on some of the lighter colors. It comes out clean in the wash, but I recommend going with one of the darker fabrics to avoid water stains.
Sizing Notes: I recommend sizing up for a more oversized fit. Caroline is pictured wearing a size 4 in the Softstreme Perfectly Oversized Cropped Crew.
Best For: everything from running errands to outdoor runs. My favorite athletic jacket!
The define jacket is loved by reviewers for its flattering shape. The Define Jacket is soft, breathable and surprisingly warm given that the fabric is relatively thin. This also makes it perfect for layering.
The Define Jackets come in two fabric options: Luon (more structured) or Nulu (buttery soft). I prefer the Nulu fabric as it feels looser and less compressive.
Sizing Notes: this jacket runs small, and I recommend sizing up one to two sizes. I am pictured wearing a size 10 in the Nulu Hooded Define Jacket (and I normally wear a size 6 or 8 in lululemon tops and jackets).
Best For: everyday wear. Easily dressed up or dressed down.
Water-repellent and wind-proof on the outside, but super soft on the inside. This is a true “best of both worlds” kind of jacket.
It’s lightweight and versatile, featuring a stowable hood you can zip in or out depending on weather conditions.
The Always Effortless Jacket has so many pockets – perfect for stashing a phone or wallet during travel days.
This has quickly become by go-to Spring and Fall lightweight jacket.
Sizing Notes: this jacket runs true to size. Rachel is pictured wearing a size 6 in the Always Effortless Jacket.
Best For: lightweight warmth for runners or power walkers (and a great layering piece).
If you’re a dedicated runner or walker no matter the weather conditions, this vest is for you.
My favorite feature is that this vest is actually double-layered. You have the option to zip the inner down layer out or in depending on how much warmth you want.
The fabric of this vest is amazing – it’s water-repellent, and the lightweight insulation is warm, even when wet.
Sizing Notes: this vest runs true to size. I am pictured wearing a size 6 in the Another Mile Vest.
Best For: the ultimate travel jacket — lightweight, water-repellent and super packable.
My teammate, Megan, swears by this jacket as a lightweight layering piece for dog walking, rain or shine.
This jacket is perfect for hiking as well. It conveniently packs into its own pocket so you can hook it onto your backpack or belt bag if you get warm and want to take it off.
Sizing Notes: this jacket runs true to size, but I recommend sizing up if you’re layering it. Megan is pictured wearing a size 10 in the Mist Over Windbreaker.
The Define Jacket is the most popular lululemon jacket. This jacket has been one of lululemon’s top rated products for years, and continues to be a popular choice. lululemon has made some modern updates to the classic define jacket, including coming out with a hooded version and a cropped version.
The classic Define Jacket has been dubbed the “BBL” or “Brazilian Butt Lift” jacket by reviewers on TikTok because of its flattering silhouette. The jacket went viral for being extremely flattering – I love it for running errands or throwing on after a workout.
The Scuba Half-Zip Hoodie is one of the most popular lululemon items. It’s the perfect transitional piece for moving into fall and winter because it is warm without being bulky and is easy to layer.
