AS the weather gets colder, there are few wardrobe items more essential than a cosy half-zip hoodie.
They’re perfect for chucking on to head to the gym, or pairing with leggings for a comfy yet fashionable outfit for running errands.
So it’s no surprise fashionistas love Lululemon’s Scuba Oversized Half-Zip Hoodie – it’s uber soft and stylish, and comes in a range of stunning colourways, including a snowy white and a vibrant dahlia pink.
The issue is that the item's £108 price tag means that as lovely as it is, it’s simply too much of a splurge for most of us to justify.
But luckily, eagle-eyed shoppers have spotted a near-identical dupe on Amazon, which scans for a much more-reasonable price.
The Gym People Women’s Half-Zip Hoodie comes in between around £32 depending on the size you’re after.

The gorg garment is almost indistinguishable from the high-end sports brand’s: it has a similar slouchy hood, the same quarter-zip designs, and even matching thumb holes in the sleeves to keep your mitts toasty.
It also comes in four stunning colourways: black, grey, white, and a vibrant pink very similar to that offered by Lululemon.
Amazon’s version is also fleece lined like the original: the only real difference is that it comes in around a quarter of the price.
One TikTok fashion and fitness aficionado, Sophia Panella, decided to test out the affordable alternative given she’s already a fan of Lululemon’s product.

In a clip posted to her account @sophia.panella, the influencer pointed out that other than the Lululemon logo, the dupe was “super similar”.
She pointed out that the Amazon version comes up a little small – it might be worth sizing up – but it’s “super comfy” and “pretty much the same” as the top-end hoodie.
“It’s a great, high-quality sweatshirt that is very close to mimicking the Scuba hoodie,” she concludes.
The fitness fanatic's clip raked up thousands of likes, with shopper's gushing over the cheap coat's fab quality and stunning look.
"I have the brown dupe and I always get compliments!" one wrote.
"I literally ordered the exact same one, color and brand," another gushed.
Other viewers agreed that Amazon’s the place to go if you’re after a killer Lululemon dupe, sharing their own fab finds that scan for a fraction of the original’s price.
The Trendy Queen Half-Zip Pullover also got a shout out, although it’s a bit more pricey at £60.
