Sweaty Betty and Lululemon are two of the biggest names in premium activewear.
But when it comes to quality, comfort, and value, how do they really compare?
As someone who tests fabrics and helps brands launch yoga wear collections, I’ll share both data and first-hand experience.
Yes—Sweaty Betty is comparable to Lululemon, but each excels in different areas.
Lululemon leads in technical fabrics and global reputation, while Sweaty Betty stands out with bold prints, inclusivity, and UK roots.
In my wear tests, both held up after multiple washes, though Lululemon leggings felt slightly more compression-focused.
If you often struggle to find inclusive sizing, Sweaty Betty may be the better fit.
Choose Sweaty Betty if you want statement looks, or Lululemon if you prefer classic minimalism.
