Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant 25" Review: Buttery-soft Comfort for Travel and Yoga

The lululemon Align High-Rise Pant 25” have quickly become the best leggings I’ve ever owned. As someone who is 5’2”, I chose them specifically because of the 25” length. I wasn’t ready to commit to full-length leggings that might bunch up at my ankles. The fit is absolutely perfect, and I’m genuinely obsessed with how comfortable they are for everything from travel to yoga.

Why I chose the Align High-Rise Pant 25”

After experiencing the success of other lululemon pieces, I was curious about their leggings line. The Align High-Rise Pant 25” caught my attention because of their promise of buttery-soft comfort and the perfect length for shorter frames.

They’ve become my go-to for travel and yoga. The decision to try them came after a particularly frustrating experience with other leggings that were too long and bunched up at my ankles, making me look sloppy.

First impressions and design details

When the Align leggings arrived, I was immediately impressed by their softness and quality construction. The Nulu fabric felt incredibly soft against the skin, with a weightless feel that I hadn’t experienced with other leggings.

The 25” length was exactly what I needed. They hit right above my ankle without bunching, creating a clean, polished look. The high-rise waistband felt comfortable and secure, and the hidden waistband pocket was a thoughtful touch I didn’t expect to appreciate as much as I do.

What makes them special

• Buttery-soft Nulu fabric - The signature weightless material that feels incredible against your skin and moves with you.
• Perfect 25” length - Designed to sit above your ankle, ideal for shorter frames without bunching.
• Hidden waistband pocket - Keeps cards and small essentials secure during workouts or travel.
• Super-stretchy construction - 81% nylon and 19% Lycra elastane blend that holds its shape through any movement.

Built for comfort and performance

What I really appreciate is the gusset at the inseams, and the gusset runs halfway down each leg. This thoughtful construction prevents chafing and provides extra comfort during active wear. The sweat-wicking fabric pulls moisture away from your skin, keeping you feeling comfortable whether you’re exploring a new city or hitting a yoga class.

The high-rise waistband offers comfortable coverage that won’t dig in, and the super-stretchy fabric with Lycra® holds its shape as you bend and stretch. These leggings truly are made for yoga but work perfectly for life.

Quick takeaways

• The buttery-soft Nulu fabric feels incredible and moves with your body.
• Perfect 25” length eliminates ankle bunching for shorter frames.
• Hidden waistband pocket keeps essentials secure.
• High-rise waistband provides comfortable coverage without digging in.
• Sweat-wicking and breathable for all-day comfort.
• Machine washable and easy care - just wash cold and tumble dry low.

These are hands down the best leggings I’ve ever owned, and I can’t recommend them enough for travel, yoga, or just everyday comfort. The quality and fit are exactly what you’d expect from lululemon.
