Lululemon Resale Value Guides

21 guides to what used Lululemon is worth — the price at each condition grade, which lines hold their value, and how to date or identify what you have. Lululemon holds its value better than any other activewear label, and the reason is specific fabrics with specific names. Buyers search for Align and Nulu, not for leggings.

Which Lululemon pieces hold their value

  • Align leggings in Nulu fabric, which are the single most searched item the brand makes and sell quickly in every size
  • The Scuba and Define ranges, which have their own followings and are named in listings rather than described
  • Discontinued colourways, which are tracked closely by buyers completing a set and regularly sell above their original price
  • The ABC trouser lines, which are the menswear side of the brand and have a steady market of their own

And what pulls the price down

  • Pilling on Nulu fabric, which is very soft and consequently pills at the inner thigh — this is the standard wear point and cannot be reversed
  • Faded and greying black, which shows badly against the brand’s dense dyes and is the usual result of hot washing
  • Snags and pulls in the knit, which run and cannot be repaired invisibly on a four-way-stretch fabric
  • Stretched-out waistbands, where the elastic has given and the garment no longer holds — which is what buyers are actually paying for

Identifying and dating yours

These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:

  1. The size is on a small sewn tag inside the waistband or side seam, and the fabric name is on the care label — quote both, since buyers search by fabric
  2. Name the product line exactly, because Align, Wunder Under and Fast and Free are different fabrics at different prices
  3. Photograph the inner thigh area in good light, as this is where pilling shows and is the condition question buyers ask first

WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions

Is used Lululemon worth buying?

It depends far more on the line than the label. Lululemon holds its value better than any other activewear label, and the reason is specific fabrics with specific names. Buyers search for Align and Nulu, not for leggings. Each guide below says which Lululemon lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.

How do I check a piece is genuine Lululemon?

The size is on a small sewn tag inside the waistband or side seam, and the fabric name is on the care label — quote both, since buyers search by fabric. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer. A seller who has the item will send a photograph of the marking in minutes.
