If you spent any time at all on TikTok last May, you know all about Lululemongate (what us style editors are unofficially calling the conversation — and controversy — that surrounded the release of Lululemon’s 2-in-1 Dress). Users immediately divided themselves into separate camps based on whether or not they thought the dress was chic to begin with, as well as all the ways in which it could and couldn’t be styled: sometimes pairing up the hot-ticket item with sneakers and other times extending its elongating powers with block-heeled mule sandals.

By the end of that month, the dress was sold out in most sizes and colorways — surprising, considering people were expressing negative opinions about its steep cost in context of the piece’s material being nothing fancier than a stretchy, athletic nylon-slash-Lycra blend with some mulberry silk thrown in for the skirt section. And yet, millions of shoppers felt that the Lululemon 2-in-1 Dress‘ $148 price tag was well worth the sacrifice if what they were getting in the end was trend-aligned style and subsequent compliments. After the adaptable wonder fully depleted in inventory, it was taken off Lululemon‘s shelves; as of a few days ago, though, the dress is back in stock and better than ever (coming to you in two new, ideal-for-spring colorways).

Now sold in Butter Cream (per the obsession with butter yellow that still dominates the fashion and home decor spaces) and the sage green–adjacent Willow Leaf, the dress retains every detail that made it a worldwide sensation almost 12 months back. Dubbed “most versatile” by the It-girl-loved brand, the frock is remarkable in that it transitions into a maxi skirt in seconds. All you have to do is roll down the bodice in one sweeping motion, proceeding to wear the bestseller with everything from baby tees to button-ups.

Another draw: The 2-in-1 gem’s bodice is crafted out of a version of Lululemon’s famed, brushed Nulu fabric, which actually boasts more perks than what first meets the eye (looking at you, Lululemon dress haters) — including a four-way stretch that will accommodate active pursuits like tennis, not to mention sweat-wicking and quick-dry properties. The skirt has a slightly different composition, harnessing silk and modal fabric for an especially baby-soft underhand feel. Together, the two body-skimming components secure all-day good looks sans any kind of discomfort, merging strapless bust support, attractive folds, and a trendy maxi hem in one, under-$200 package.

Think about it this way. You can wear Lululemon staples like the Dance Studio Mid-Rise Jogger or Define Cropped Jacket in only one specific way, and they’re just dollars more affordable than the comparatively overachieving Maxi Dress, meaning it’s actually a high-value buy that you should say “yes” to while stock is good.

Lululemon is keeping this re-release hush-hush for now, but know that as soon as news of the dress’ return spreads like wildfire on social media, you’ll only be able to find it on third-party resale platforms. Translation: Pause your Peloton workout and shop this spring style non-negotiable right now, taking advantage of the label’s free shipping (or picking it up in store to start enjoying the dress even faster).

No matter what people say, we’re big proponents of the 2-in-1 Maxi Dress, a sentiment that’s confirmed by no shortage of online reviewers, who frequently share thoughts along the lines of the following: “This is the perfect maxi dress or skirt! Great for travel!” Or: “This is perhaps the greatest Lululemon purchase I have ever made. I bought this to wear as a skirt, and it feels like you are wearing an Align Legging except even more comfortable because the skirt is so flowy and falls perfectly at my ankle. It makes you look put-together and is the best thing for hot days.”

Once what might soon become your best purchase of spring is complete, start accessorizing. TikTok fashionistas have been busy styling the dress with quiet-luxury flip-flops, crescent-shaped handbags, tube tops, belts, and fisherman aesthetic–coded jewelry for summer. Below, even more ideas on how to squeeze the most utility — and charm! — out of your fresh threads, effectively turning every head on the street at the airport lounge.
