Define Jacket
lululemon Jackets and Sweatshirts FAQs
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 earlier this year for being extremely flattering – we 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.

1) Scuba Sweatshirt
Best For: lightweight warmth and cozy work-from-home layering.
Our 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. Megan is pictured wearing the Half Zip Scuba Hoodie in size M/L. Size up if you prefer an oversized fit, or stick with your typical size for a more fitted look.

2) Softstreme Sweatshirt
Best For: ultimate softness. The best lounging sweatshirt.
Super soft, peach-fuzz like fabric makes this sweatshirt one of the comfiest items in our closet.
Lindsey grabbed this sweatshirt last year to wear through pregnancy and postpartum and hasn’t taken it off since. This crew 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 we recommend going with one of the darker fabrics to avoid the issue of water stains.
Sizing Notes: Caroline is pictured wearing the Ribbed Softstreme Perfectly Oversized Cropped Crew in a size 4 (her typical top size). We recommend sizing up for a more oversized fit.
Types of Softstreme Sweatshirts
- Classic Perfectly Oversized Cropped Crew. An essential crew neck, perfect for dressing up or down.
- Ribbed Perfectly Oversized Cropped Crew. Adds a cute ribbed detail to the fabric.
3) Define Jacket
Best For: everything from running errands to outdoor runs. Our favorite athletic jacket!
The viral lululemon 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).
Sizing Notes: This jacket runs small, and we recommend ordering a size up. Lindsey is pictured wearing the Nulu Hooded Define Jacket in a size 8 (one size up from her typical top size).
Types of Define Jackets
- Classic Define Jacket (Luon). The iconic lululemon jacket style. More of a structured, tailored fit.
- Hooded Define Jacket (Nulu). The Nulu fabric is buttery soft and so comfortable. We found this fabric to be looser and less compressive.
- Define Cropped Jacket (Nulu). Buttery soft fabric and a cut that hits at the waist rather than hips.
- Define Relaxed Fit Jacket (Luon). A roomier and more relaxed version of the Classic Define Jacket.
4) Always Effortless Jacket
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.
Sizing Notes: This lululemon jacket runs true to size. Rachel is pictured wearing the Always Effortless Jacket in a size 6 (her typical top size).
5) Another Mile Vest
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.
Our 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. Lindsey is pictured wearing the Another Mile Vest in a size 6 (her typical top size).
6) Mist Over Windbreaker
Best For: the ultimate travel jacket: lightweight, water-repellent and super packable.
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 we recommend sizing up if you’re layering it. Megan is pictured wearing the Mist Over Windbreaker in a size 10 (one size up from her typical size).
