Old Navy is my favorite and they're currently running a 50% off sale.

Victoria's Secret (regular brand and Pink) are also really good.

I've also fallen in love with Gym Shark (a brand I saw on instagram). Their leggings are very nice but pricier than Old Navy and VS. But I love how high waisted they are and the seamless options. Seamless is critical.

Anyone try the old navy yoga leggings instead of their regular exercise leggings?

If anyone has a recommendation where I can find a likeness with a similar fabric feel... please let a lady know.

This is why I never got into lululemon. I'm a runner so for me it's Adidas, Nike, and Old Navy (in that order of preference).

I have (and still wear) Old Navy, Target, Adidas, (Nike's make me too hot), and various things from TJ Maxx and Marshall's. They've been fine. But the Fast & Free's from Lululemon are incredible. It doesn't mean I don't run or workout in anything else, but they are so soft, quick drying, flattering, and comfortable, much above anything else.

It's not a matter of "getting into" other brands - it's just a matter of having preferences, like you said.

Zella from Nordstrom. They pill slightly more (or attract fuzz?) but I find if you wear them inside out they're sleek and black and shiny like Lululemon.

OP, Align is my first pair and I’ve worn them for working out but can see they are better suited for yoga or hanging out. I didn’t like the 90 flex from amazon, gave them to my teen. Will try core 10.

I have the Amazon brand ones - Core10. They're fine. No issues, and they're really soft. Not shiny at all though which I kind of miss.
