It's no secret how much we love Lululemon leggings and the brand's supportive sports bras for the high-quality athletic appeal. The label offers plenty of items that fit seamlessly into our lifestyle, too, from durable travel gear and the viral Everywhere Belt Bag to comfy athleisure. However, what makes Lululemon stand out is its wide array of colors and prints. There are so many options that creating a coordinated matching set to fit our unique sense of style is a breeze.

There's something about a co-ord that feels so effortless, as it allows us to look put together without sacrificing comfort or function. Lululemon has a whole section devoted to matching sets, from oversize sweats to moisture-wicking, HIIT-ready separates. We asked several of our editors to test some of Lululemon's bestselling pieces and style their go-to matching set. Our editors chose a wide range of hues, from bright tones for the summer to neutral options for those who like to keep it simple. We tested pieces made with the brand's buttery soft Nulu fabric, which has a second-skin like feel with sweat-wicking capabilities, as well as the flexible Align collection. The brand's bestselling Half Zip Scuba Hoodie, athletic jackets, and cargo joggers also made the cut.

If you're looking for cute, functional matching sets from Lululemon, try these six editor-backed options from the brand ahead.

Lululemon Navy Matching Set

Lululemon Navy Matching Set

Lululemon Align Halter Tank Top in True Navy ($68) and Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant 25" in True Navy ($98)

"I've long been familiar with Lululemon's high quality workout wear, but somehow, I'm new to the brand's super popular Align collection, which is known for its buttery soft and weightless Nulu fabric. As it promises, this set is breathable and so comfortable, but I was most pleasantly surprised by its compression that didn't feel restrictive.

I put the halter top and matching leggings to the test for a very sweaty HIIT workout, and they held up impressively well. Both pieces stayed perfectly put and required no readjustments as I cycled through burpees, jump squats, plank variations, and more. And most importantly, I felt confident and cute in the flattering, supportive 'fit." — Yerin Kim, editor, features

Lululemon Espresso Matching Set

Lululemon Espresso Matching Set

Lululemon Scuba Oversized Funnel-Neck Half Zip in Espresso ($128) and Lululemon Swift Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Pant in Espresso ($128)

"I absolutely love the Lululemon half-zips, so it comes as no surprise that I loved this one, too. They're soft and oversize without appearing boxy, and they're easy to match with a variety of bottoms because of the seamless design. The pants were a bit of a miss for me, as they were long on my 5'5" frame. The material was also thinner than I expected. As for the color, Lululemon has perfected neutral-toned brown with this suit. It goes really well with a handful of items I already own." — Ariel Baker, assistant editor, beauty

Lululemon Black Matching Set

Lululemon Black Matching Set

Lululemon Wundermost Ultra-Soft Nulu Tube Top in Black ($48) and Lululemon Stretch Woven Wide-Leg High-Rise Pant ($89)

"If you see me wearing this outfit every single day for the foreseeable future, don't be surprised. This is my first time owning anything from Lululemon (if you can believe it), and to say I was impressed is an understatement. The tube top is sporty but elevated at the same time, and the pants are perfect for lounging, but they're also functional. I'm normally an XS/24 in bottoms, but I took a size small in the pants because I wanted them to fit a little bigger, and they turned out exactly as I anticipated. I ordered an extra small in the top, my normal size, and it fit perfectly, even over my 32D bust.

I wore this fit to run errands and received three compliments from strangers, so I'm 100 percent planning on being an outfit repeater this week. Overall the set is comfortable, looks put together, and can be styled with sneakers or flip-flops. I'm obsessed." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Lululemon Purple Matching Set

Lululemon Purple Matching Set

Lululemon Keyhole Mesh Tank Top in Mauve Multi/Grape Thistle ($58) and Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant with Pockets 25" in Mauve Multi/Grape Thistle ($128)

"After years of hearing rave reviews about Lululemon's Align High Rise Pants, I finally got the chance to test them — and wasn't disappointed. True to their name, these athletic leggings boast a high-rise design that's flattering and functional. The bottom's compressive material creates a smoothed-out look that hugs my body without feeling too constricting. They're also made from Lululemon's signature, buttery soft material — ensuring a composition that's equally breathable and comfy, even through the most high-intensity workouts. I love wearing these to yoga classes or even while I'm just lounging around the house.

For a more cohesive look, I like pairing the grape-colored leggings with Lululemon's Keyhole Mesh Tank Top, which features a whimsical color palette that's easy to style with a wide array of pants. My only qualm with the top is that it's incredibly see-through (hence the mesh name) and kind of tricky to layer over certain sports bras, unless they have a similar shape. Regardless, I think I just found my unofficial workout uniform for spring and summer." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, commerce

Lululemon Pastel Blue Matching Set

Lululemon Pastel Blue Matching Set

Lululemon Energy Longline Bra in Windmill ($58) and Lululemon Dance Studio Relaxed-Fit Mid-Rise Cargo Jogger in Windmill ($128)

"I generally prefer longline bras for the additional coverage, but I sometimes feel they come up short (literally). This one was everything I wanted it to be and more, from the buttery-soft material to the sky-blue color way. The straps felt comfortable, and the crossover back looked so flattering. I also appreciate that this top has more support than some of the other Lululemon sports bras, which makes it great for gym days or hot girl walks. The cups are also removable, which is my personal preference, and it looks great with my colorful collection of emotional support water bottles.

As a size 28-29 waist, I was a little wary about Lululemon's sizing guide, especially when it came to these joggers. Since the reviews promised these had a more oversize feel, I went with a medium instead of a large, and found that I made the right choice. If anything, I wish the waist was a bit more adjustable so I could keep the legs baggy and tie the pants a little tighter, but these are still so much fun. I'd wear them to yoga class and keep them on as 'real clothes' throughout the rest of the day — plus, you really can't beat this beautiful blue color." — Chandler Plante, assistant editor, fitness

Lululemon Taupe Matching Set

Lululemon Taupe Matching Set

Lululemon Define Jacket Nulu in Nomad ($89, originally $119) and Lululemon Wunder Train High-Rise Tight 25" in Nomad ($98)

"As a fan of the classic Align fabric, I was eager to expand my Lululemon horizon and explore its other bestselling fabrics: Nulu and the Wunder Train collection. I got the Define Jacket and the Wunder Train Leggings in a size six, and both fit perfectly with my size 27 waist and 5'1" height. I love wearing this set during my more active days, whether it's cardio or weightlifting. The leggings are flexible yet slightly compressive for a supportive fit, and the Nulu jacket helps keep me warm and secure. Although I primarily wear this to the gym, it's also become my airport outfit. The Define Jacket has two zip-front pockets, which come in handy for quickly accessing and storing my smartphone, boarding pass, lip balm, or ID and credit cards.

I love wearing neutrals, so I instantly gravitated towards the Nomad shade. It's a gorgeous taupe that has both gray and tan tones, and it flatters the neutral undertone of my skin. I won't get bored of this color, and it can be worn year-round, so I'll never feel out of style." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, commerce
