About the Wundermost Collection
Lululemon’s Wundermost Bodywear was meticulously crafted over two years, with the design team perfecting both fabric and function. Launched in October 2023, the inaugural drop features ten silhouettes—ranging from full-coverage bodysuits to delicately designed bralettes—available in a spectrum of fourteen versatile colorways.
- Includes full bodysuits, long and short sleeve layering tops, bralettes, tanks, and a muscle-tee style
- Developed with the intent to provide seamless transitions from daywear to lounge or athleisure
- Has already achieved viral status, with rapid sell-outs—many shades restock as demand surges
Ultra Soft Nulu: Fabric That Changed the Game
The core of Wundermost’s appeal is Lululemon’s new Ultra Soft Nulu fabric, designed as a next-level update of the widely-loved Nulu used in Align leggings. Senior designers took years to develop this version, aiming for a material that’s softer, smoother, and even more supportive.
- Buttery soft touch—significantly upgraded even from the original Nulu
- Features a four-way stretch for unrestricted movement
- Double-layered for modest coverage, holding power, and light compression
- Engineered for sweat-wicking and quick-drying performance—ideal for everyday wear and light activity
- Feels like a “second skin” without compression discomfort
This material struck testers and editors alike as an instant standout. It has the stretch and soft contouring expected from premium bodywear—yet its ability to wick away sweat and dry quickly adds unexpected versatility beyond most loungewear options.
Fit, Style, and Flattery
The entire Wundermost line is built to flatter a variety of body types while providing consistent, confidence-boosting support. The strategic double-layers and thoughtful seam placement mean that:
- No show-through (even with lighter colors)
- Supportive hold across the torso and bust without suffocating compression
- Styles hug curves with smoothing effect
- Fabric glides smoothly, making these pieces excellent layering staples
Many testers specifically praised the way bodysuits and tanks fit both taller and more petite wearers—often a sticking point with this type of clothing. Petite testers, for instance, noted excellent length and flexibility, while those with curves highlighted the confident support and coverage even during active days.

Wundermost vs. Skims: How Do They Compare?
With Skims dominating the bodywear scene, comparisons were inevitable. Editors who own extensive collections of Skims items embarked on a direct side-by-side comparison with Lululemon’s Wundermost. Here’s how they stack up:
| Feature | Lululemon Wundermost | Skims |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric Softness | Incredibly soft, plush touch | Very soft (Soft Smoothing Seamless) |
| Support/Compression | Light compression, double-layered | Soft smoothing, lighter compression |
| Moisture Management | Sweat-wicking, quick-drying | Primarily loungewear; limited sweat performance |
| Coverage | More coverage (especially in bust and bottom) | Often minimal—cut higher, skimpier options |
| Seam/Construction | Smooth, strategic double-layers, bonded gussets on bodysuits | Minimal seams |
Bottom line: Wundermost offers a touch more softness and all-day support for people who want coverage plus the sweat-ready performance Lululemon is known for.
Breakdown: Bodysuits, Tanks, Tees, and Bralettes
The collection includes a range of shapes. Here’s how each performed according to our on-staff testers and fashion editors:
- Bodysuits: Notably feature a streamlined gusset with smooth, bonded snaps for comfort and convenience—no more uncomfortable bulk. Wearers found these stay secure throughout the day and are easy to use (even on busy mornings).
- Long-Sleeve and Short-Sleeve Layering Tops: Cut to sit smoothly as a base layer under sweaters or blazers. The square-neck long-sleeve top in particular won raves for both how it framed the neckline and how it created a “hugging but unrestrictive” sensation.
- Cropped Tanks and Vests: Stylish enough to wear solo with high-waisted jeans or leggings, but also layer beautifully for colder weather. Light double-layered structure keeps everything feeling held without stiff seams.
- Bralettes: Less structured than sports bras—designed for gentle lift, at-home lounging, or layering under shirts. Fans recommend the bralette for WFH days or easy weekends, especially for smaller to average bust sizes.
Staff and Real-World Tester Experiences
To get the most well-rounded verdict, editors wore Wundermost pieces in the real world—running errands, logging hours at a desk, and heading out for casual dinners. Highlights from our testers:
- Everyday Confidence: Most testers noted these pieces made them look and feel more confident thanks to the combination of support and subtle contouring.
- True-to-Size Fit: Many found sizing “spot-on,” with petite testers relieved that bodysuits didn’t sag, while those of taller or curvier shapes got full length coverage.
- Pregnancy-Friendly: Testers who were pregnant praised the fabric’s softness, stating it was gentle against sensitive skin and didn’t press too tightly over the bump. Sizing one up worked perfectly for them.
- All-Day Comfort: Pieces were comfortable from early morning to evening, transitioning smoothly from working at a laptop to heading out for a walk, with no annoying riding-up or mark-inducing elastic.
- Layering Power: The snug but thin fit let testers slip chunky sweaters or tailored blazers over the top, solving the winter layering struggle.
Even after several hours, the Wundermost fabric maintained shape without stretching out or sagging.
Key Pros and Cons
Based on extensive testing and feedback, here are the main advantages (and a couple drawbacks) to expect from Wundermost:
- Pros
- Unmatched softness—even compared to high-end rivals
- Strategically double-layered for smoothing and light compression
- Sweat-wicking and quick-drying—move seamlessly from lounge to errands
- True-to-size fit with flexible sizing for petites, talls, and maternity
- Wide range of neutrals and seasonal colors
- Easy to layer under knits and formal pieces
- Clean construction—bonded gussets, smooth seams, minimal bulk
- Cons
- Mid-range price point; pricier than discount bodywear
- Some colors and sizes sell out quickly due to viral demand
- If you prefer strong compression, you may want to size down

For most, the only real drawbacks are stock levels and cost, not comfort or performance.
