While your drawers may be stocked with Align leggings and Scuba sweatshirts, the guys in your life deserve to have some lululemon swag in their closets, too. If you're shopping for your dad, boyfriend, husband, son or even your brother, the brand has an incredible selection for men, whether he loves to golf, run, lift or hit the studio for some hot yoga. And since the holidays and even winter birthdays are fast approaching, there's no better time to snag him something.

Selecting gear based on the activity your man is into will ensure he has an optimal workout sesh. For example, if golfing is his thing, a pair of breathable golf pants ($128) will keep him looking sleek and cool for all 18 holes. And if he's a runner, something lightweight, like these Pace Breaker Linerless Shorts ($68) will help him avoid chafing and sweat buildup, as opposed to heavier cotton shorts, which tend to rub and bunch up. No matter the design, lululemon puts thought behind all of its styles to ensure the stretch, breathability, cut and fabric type are tailored to the type of movement performed in each piece of clothing.
