The best affordable Athleta alternatives

If you’re looking for affordable Athleta alternatives, you’ve come to the right place!

I love Athleta, but I also love getting a great deal on a similar product. In this post, I’ll share some of the best affordable options that I’ve found, and they are all available on Amazon.

Even if you love Athleta like I do, here are some key reasons to consider the more alternatives:

• You don’t want to spend as much money. These pieces have a similar style but are more affordable.
• There are certain occasions when you want a specific look, but you don’t want to damage your actual high-end activewear items.
• You may want more colors.
• Athleta items are often sold out or discontinued. I love Athleta, but they keep discontinuing my favorite styles! (For ex: Chaturanga leggings, Metro leggings, Chi tops). In fact, I first discovered the brand CRZ Yoga because I was searching for a replacement for the Athleta Aspire pant.

As a reminder, these products are NOT counterfeit items. These are simply similar items that are (usually) available at a lower price point. Shoppycat does NOT endorse, promote, or link to any counterfeit products or illegal copies of trademarked products.

Ok let’s see the products!

Athleta Alternatives: Similar to Salutation Jogger

If you seek a cheaper version of Salutation joggers, there are tons of options on Amazon! This is likely because Athleta’s Salutation joggers are very similar to Luluemon Align joggers, which are frequently an inspiration for other brand designs. These options all have a similar cut and style, but there are many different fabric options. My personal favorite joggers are the Colorfulkoala joggers. They are buttery soft, with a matte and slightly brushed fabric. However if you prefer more of a slick fabric, check out the pair by the Gym People. The slick fabric makes them less prone to attracting lint, fuzz, or pet hair!

Athleta Alternatives: Similar to Athleta City Pant

CRZ Yoga’s Feathery-Fit fabric (88% Polyester, 12% Spandex) is extremely close to Athleta’s Featherweight Stretch fabric (also Polyester/Spandex). Most of the available options in 2021 are based off Athleta styles from a few years ago. Still on the lookout for an affordable alternative for the Skyline or Brooklyn pants.

Athleta Alternatives: Similar to Athleta Elation Legging

Elation leggings are similar to Salutations, but the main difference is the lack of pockets. People often compare Elations to Lululemon Aligns. I agree that the soft matte fabric and seams are similar, but I found the Elation leggings to have considerably more waistband compression than Aligns. I also think Elation fabric is a little more durable than the Nulu fabric of Aligns.
