Lululemon Groove Flare Dupes on Amazon: CRZ YOGA and Sunzel Against the Original's Numbers

The closest thing to a Lululemon Groove flare on Amazon is the CRZ YOGA Butterluxe Flare. Its fabric is CRZ's copy of Nulu, the rise and shape match, it comes in four inseams, and it adds a back pocket. If you need a very short or very long inseam, or you want a crossover waist, the Sunzel flare is the alternative.

Lululemon doesn't sell on Amazon (our explainer covers why the Groove listings you see there are resellers), so this page compares brand-sold look-alikes against the numbers Lululemon publishes for the Groove. We checked lululemon.com and each Amazon listing in October 2026. We haven't wear-tested the pants below; the comparisons are of what each brand says about its product.

What the original is

The Groove is Lululemon's flared yoga pant. The current US version is the Groove Nulu High-Rise Flared Pant, listed at $118 on lululemon.com in October 2026. Lululemon describes it as made from Nulu, the brushed nylon-Lycra fabric used in the Align, with a lightweight waistband inspired by the original Groove, and a leg that flares from the knee to the hem. It comes in three lengths, each meant to skim the floor:

• Short: 29.5-inch inseam, for 5'4" and under
• Regular: 32.5-inch inseam, for 5'5" to 5'8"
• Tall: 35-inch inseam, for 5'9" and up

Lululemon also sells a super-high-rise version. To copy a Groove, then, you need a soft Nulu-style fabric, a high rise with a plain, light waistband, a flare that starts at the knee, and the right inseam for your height.

Side by side

Fabric for Butterluxe is from CRZ's fabric guide (81 percent nylon, 19 percent Lycra spandex for the legging version). CRZ doesn't publish a blend for Softretch or Butterlift on these listings.

The closest copy: CRZ YOGA Butterluxe Flare

Butterluxe exists to imitate Nulu, and CRZ's listing describes it the way Lululemon describes Nulu: extremely soft, very stretchy, with very gentle compression. The flare has a high rise, a relaxed leg and a "bootcut wide leg" that opens below the knee. It comes in 29, 30.5, 32 and 33.5 inches, for 5'1" to 5'11" by CRZ's height chart, and has a recessed pocket at the back of the waistband. The Groove doesn't list one.

Where it falls short is length at the top end. The Groove Tall is 35 inches; the longest Butterluxe Flare is 33.5. If you're 5'10" or taller and want the hem on the floor in heels, look at Sunzel's 34-inch, or keep the Lululemon.

The best for extreme heights: Sunzel

Sunzel's crossover flare is the other well-known Amazon flare. Its listing gives the fabric as 80 percent nylon and 20 percent spandex, buttery soft and not see-through, and describes tummy control and a crossover waistband with a V seam. The useful number is the inseam range: 28, 30, 32 and 34 inches. That covers buyers at both ends better than any CRZ flare and comes closest to the Groove's Tall.

The waistband is a different look. The Groove has a plain band; the Sunzel crosses in a V. If the V is what you want, it's a feature. If you want a Groove copy, it's a compromise. We compare the two budget flares directly in Sunzel vs CRZ YOGA flare leggings.

Other CRZ options

Softretch Flare: the clean front

No front seam and a seamless waistband, so the front is one smooth panel, in CRZ's Softretch fabric with gentle compression. It comes in 29, 31 and 33 inches and is usually the cheapest of CRZ's flares. You lose the pocket. If what you like about the Groove is a front that disappears under a top, this is the one.

Crossover Flare: Butterluxe with a V

Butterluxe fabric with a crossover waist, in 29, 31 and 33 inches. CRZ notes that the updated version has a "conservative flare," so it's a more modest bootcut than the Groove. It suits people who want Sunzel's look in CRZ's fabric.

Secretsculpt Flare: more hold

Butterlift fabric, which CRZ describes as as soft as Butterluxe but thicker and more compressive, with a seamless, front-seamless waistband and an invisible glute scrunch. That's a different feel from Nulu, which is the point if Nulu-style fabric feels too loose on you. It comes only in 31 inches, listed for 5'4" to 5'5".

Match the inseam to the Groove's

If you know your Groove length, this is the nearest equivalent in each dupe.

CRZ's height ranges sit slightly differently from Lululemon's: its 30.5-inch is listed for 5'4" to 5'5" and its 32-inch for 5'6" to 5'8". Every inseam here is measured crotch to hem. Our CRZ flare guide has the full height chart for every CRZ style.

What you give up

The price difference is large: each Amazon dupe typically costs a fraction of the Groove's $118. What you can't verify from a listing is how the fabric holds up. Buying from CRZ or Sunzel on Amazon means you rely on Amazon's and the seller's return terms rather than Lululemon's. Our look at how much Lululemon and Alo dupes save puts numbers on the trade-off, and is Lululemon worth it covers when the original is the better buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Lululemon Groove dupe on Amazon?

The CRZ YOGA Butterluxe Flare. Its fabric is CRZ's Nulu equivalent, it has a high rise and a flare from the knee, it comes in four inseams from 29 to 33.5 inches, and it adds a back pocket.

Is there a Groove dupe with a 35-inch inseam?

Not among these. The longest are Sunzel at 34 inches and the CRZ Butterluxe Flare at 33.5 inches. Tall buyers who want the Groove's 35-inch Tall length should check the hem length against their shoes before buying.

Does Lululemon sell the Groove pant on Amazon?

No. Lululemon sells through its own stores and website. Groove listings on Amazon are from third-party resellers, so we link to brand-sold alternatives instead.

Is CRZ YOGA Butterluxe the same as Nulu?

No, but it's designed to feel similar. CRZ lists the legging version as 81 percent nylon and 19 percent Lycra spandex, brushed for a soft hand. Lululemon describes Nulu as a brushed nylon-Lycra fabric. The exact blend and weight differ.

Are flare leggings good for yoga?

Yes, if the hip and thigh are fitted and the hem doesn't pool under your heel. All of these are fitted to the knee. On a reformer, pick the length that ends at your ankle bone so the hem stays off the footbar.

Which to buy

For a Groove copy, buy the CRZ YOGA Butterluxe Flare. Buy the Sunzel crossover flare if you need a 28 or 34 inch inseam or want the V-waist, the CRZ Softretch Flare for the cleanest, cheapest front, and the CRZ Secretsculpt Flare if you want more compression and 31 inches fits you. For Lululemon's other bestsellers, our Lululemon dupes on Amazon guide covers the Align, Define, Scuba and more.
