Workout and lounge clothes can sometimes, ironically, feel a little… intense. But fear not: there’s a new playful collection from athleisure master Lululemon and—wait for it—Disney! Launched Tuesday with a whopping 34 pieces, it’s sure to infuse a little fun into your wardrobe, without sacrificing performance (since it’s, ya know, Lululemon).
Whether you’re into Disney or not, the collaboration is pretty darn cute‚ with some minimalist pieces that feel elevated. If you are into Disney, get ready to jump for joy with how fashionable and comfortable you’ll be for your next visit to the park (or your couch). The collection features classic Lululemon pieces like Align leggings and the Everywhere Belt Bag adorned with Disney iconography, and even Disney-fies the Lululemon logo for a true mind-meld. The collection is all about giving basics in black, white, gray—and hot pink—a dose of serious whimsy.
Nayeli Alvarez, a content creator focused on Disney, said she thought the collection was “really comfy, and perfect for the parks” at a press event Tuesday. “I appreciate that it has minimal styles as well as bold Disney [typeface] styles.”
The Belt Bag will hands down be a necessary Disney park accessory. Besides the utility, adorning functional pieces with images and colors you love is a tenet of dopamine dressing, which is all about wearing clothes to get those “happy hormones” flowing.
What’s more, if Disney is something you loved as a kid, the benefits of tapping into that nostalgia through clothing could be particularly great when we want to feel comforted (hello, sweat pants). “Nostalgia gives [a] sense of stability, without which, we could feel a bit out of control as life changes swiftly around us,” licensed psychologist Krystine I. Batcho, PhD previously told Well+Good about the power of feeling nostalgic.
If you want to be out and loud with your Disney love, or if you are more into a subtle nod, the collection has got you covered. Here are a few of our favorite pieces from the Disney x Lululemon collaboration.
Our 7 favorite items from the Lululemon x Disney collaboration
We’re calling it: The All Yours Crop T-Shirt in Lip Gloss is the star of the show. The oversized crop is the silhouette of the moment. The three-dimensional Minnie silhouette in the corner is sassy and chic at the same time. And, while the look also comes in black and white, we truly cannot get enough of the “lip gloss” color.
Hello, future collector’s item. With fleece-y Mickey ears topping this black comfy bucky, this hat is the perfect mixture of street and silly.
The ankle of the not-too-high, not-too-low crew sock is the perfect place for a little playfulness. These black, white, and “lip glos”s socks deliver with Disney details like a sweatin’ Mickey or a mini logo.

We truly cannot imagine an item that puts the fun in functional better. This spacious, sturdy, and sleek bag is one of Lulu’s often imitated (though never fully duplicated) products for a reason. The running Mickey patch embodies its get-shit-done energy with aplomb.
We’re loving a loose oversized long-sleeve tee these days. The thin pen-tipped illustration of how to draw Mickey gives you something to ponder, with a more artistic side than some of the other pieces.
The nostalgic good vibes will be flowing in these classic sweats. Red-on-black logos by the pockets show off the Disney x Lululemon collab, while a buttery fleece provides the perfect material when you need a little TLC.
