Best Styles Similar To The Spanx Air Essentials Line
If you’re as obsessed with the Spanx Air Essentials line as I am but want to find more affordable options that don’t sacrifice style or comfort, you’re in luck! I’ve rounded up the best styles similar to the Spanx Air Essentials line that have that same cozy, buttery-soft feel, but without the splurge. Whether you’re lounging at home or running errands, these pieces will give you that effortless look you love at a fraction of the price!
Best Styles Similar To The Spanx Air Essentials Line
I’ve had my eye on the Spanx Striped Track Pant and Jacket set. It’s such a sleek and sporty look that’s perfect for everything from casual days out to lounging in style. But at $148 for each piece, it’s definitely on the pricier side. So, when I stumbled upon this almost identical set from one of my favorite Amazon brands, it was an instant add to cart moment!
Not only does it have that same flattering fit and chic stripe detail, but the fabric feels just super soft and comfortable. It’s the perfect budget-friendly alternative without compromising on style. This is going to be a great option for travel days, watching grandchildren play fall sports, walking in the park, running errands, and so much more! You can wear it zipped or unzipped, and it’s easy to mix and match the top and pants with other pieces in your closet if you don’t want to wear it as a set.

Jumpsuit
I’ve been the proud owner of my Spanx AirEssentials Jumpsuit for over a year now! You can see me and my lovely DIL, Kayla, trying them on in this post. I grabbed it in black, because I knew that would be the most versatile option, and I’ve already styled it many, many ways!
If you like the look of the Spanx jumpsuit, but not the price tag, check out this option instead! This jumpsuit is a nice weight and has a lot of give and stretch. It does have a button and loop closure, but most of the time, I don’t even bother trying to fasten those, especially if I have a jacket or cardigan on with the jumpsuit. I’m wearing a medium, which fits me well, but I have a long torso, and I would prefer it to be a tad bit longer. I like a blouson effect, and the jumpsuit is too short of me to give me the look I prefer. I grabbed it in a pretty dusty rose, but it comes in 13 other colors!
Half-Zip and Wide Leg Pant Set
I can’t even begin to describe the fabric of the Spanx Half Zip and Wide Leg Pant set. It is incredibly soft and feels like a Ponte knit, except it is almost silky. There is only one drawback to this set…the price. I looked high and low, and found the best alternative item out there!
Spanx sells the half zip top and wide-leg pants separately, but this is a 2-pice set. The price difference between the Spanx set and the Spanx-like set is over $200!!! You will love how the set feels, and it is perfect for lounging or running errands.
Crewneck Dress
I haven’t tried the Spanx Crewneck Dress yet, but if the material is the same as their other pieces, then I need to put it on my list! It looks perfect for days when you want to feel comfy, but still look put together. It comes in five colors, including a red that would be great for the holidays!
If you’re looking for a more affordable sweatshirt dress, I found this one! It even has the same back pleat and functional pockets as the original dress. It’s less than a third of the original, which is priced at $148.
More Spanx-Like Styles to Try:
- Here’s a short sleeve version of the AirEssentials inspired sweatsuit!
- If you prefer to cover your upper arms, here’s a jumpsuit with sleeves.
- I love the neckline on this sweatshirt!
- This ribbed set looks super soft and comfy.

Stopped at my first Bucee’s over the Labor Day weekend. Amazed at the size and all it had to offer. GO CHIEFS!!!!!
Love the outfits. ❤️😍
We love Bucee’s. Great place to stop for snacks and buy gifts.
That gray jumpsuit is really cute.
Great alternatives Tanya. Thank you for finding so many choices.
Love all the cuteness! Happy Thursday ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve never been to a Bucees. We don’t have them here on the west coast. I like to see the similiar styles with a more affordable option
I love the black track pant and jacket set. I’ve never been to a Buc-ees before. I live in washington state, and we don’t have them here.
I love your posts, especially like the short sleeve jump suit, don’t see many of those! I live in West Knoxville and haven’t been to Bucees yet, heard it’s pretty amazing!
It’s over the top for a gas station. 😂
We stopped at that same Bucees to get gas and I saw the same sweatshirt. I would have gotten it if it had been orange!!
Love Spanx but not the price. Will definitely be trying these dupes.
Hello Tania, I love your blog.
I have a question; what size are you wearing on the ANRABESS Lounge Set? I think we are about the same size. Thank you, Mary
I’m wearing a medium, Mary.
Thank you so much!
Thank you, Tania! Spanx is definitely not in my budget right now. I appreciate all your athleisure suggestions!
I have been following you for years and remember that old front porch where all your photos were shot. Your forte is definitely finding quality garments for less and that’s why I continue to read all your blogs. Much as changed in the past 10 years and I no longer get to the beautiful state of Virginia. Instead I am parked out here in the desert of southern California, following my grandkids and enjoying retirement. Great post! Love when you can save me money and I can still be looking current! Thanks for what you do!!
Linda, I loved taking photos on that porch. Especially with the drunk snowman looking over my shoulder. Lol!
Never owned spanx because of the price. Maybe I will try one of these instead!
Cute and look so comfy
I’ve only been to a Buc ees once and came out with a bag in my hand!!
Love Bucee’s when traveling, always a nice bathroom and love, love to look at all the goodies they sell. I always leave with something! Ha! Thank you for the better priced options!
Thanks for giving us some economical options that look great!
Great post! I have a pair of Spanx wide leg pants with the navy blazer. it’s very comfortable and flattering. I haven’t tried the jumpsuit. it’s nice on you.
Appreciate you finding more reasonable prices.
Hi, Guess i am in a wordy mood today. I commented on my 4 different brands of sleeveless jumpsuits. I also want to talk about the 2 piece, half-zip sweatsuit sets. I tried several different Amazon brands in size s (they do not come smaller) and sent them all back. The pants all fit the same as the legs of the jumpsuits I own. Again, I liked Pretty Garden the best because of the angled pockets. However, none of the half-zip tops were flattering on me. I tried styling each one several different ways, and just couldn’t make them work. They all overwhelmed my body. I am 5’3 3/4″, 135 pounds, and wear a 34F bra. I thought that since I have a long torso the generous fit of the half-zip tops would work on my short self. Nope! I just look swallowed in fabric. I own a couple of half-zip sweaters from previous seasons that look very nice. I will just have to forego the sweatsuit sets and wear my sweaters instead. I guess that’s a good thing. I’m saving money, ha, ha.
Tania, how could you walk out of Buc-ees without even a bag of nuggets??? Such self control!!!
Hi, Thank you for showing us these Spanx alternatives. I have purchased 5 sleeveless Air Essentials jumpsuit dupes in the past few months. I got each one for around $20! I watched for sales on Amazon. I own the jumpsuits in cream, rust, red, royal blue, and a dark olive-brown. The brands I purchased are Anrabess, Pretty Garden, Caracilia, and Automet. The fit is similar in all of the brands except for Automet. I own the bright red Automet in a size M and the other 4 jumpsuits in size S. I am 5′ 3 3/4″ and weigh around 135. I am long-waisted and wear a 34F bra. The torso was plenty roomy in size S in all brands except Automet. I wish that the leg width on all of the jumpsuits was a little more narrow. They are all quite wide! One thing readers may want to consider is the pocket placement on the jumpsuits. Some brands have the pockets located right where the side leg seams are placed. I feel those make my hips look wider. I feel the need to wear a cardigan or blazer over those jumpsuits to keep the line looking slim. The Pretty Garden pockets angle in toward the center of the body. (I’m sure there’s a name for this type of pocket, but I don’t know what it is. Sorry!) I find my Pretty Garden jumpsuit in rust (they perversely call the color brick red) to be the most flattering, though I like all of them.
Never been to nor seen a Bucees. My cousin in Texan posts pics from there every now and again.
Thank you too for the lower priced items!! Do the legs in the pants feel extra wide? They look comfortable. Thank you!
No, they aren’t extra wide. They are loose and comfortable.
It is so kind and thoughtful of you to share budget friendly options for us to try! Thank you!
Hi Tania,
I love the Amazon brands you are featuring that are similar to Spanx. Since I am petite size they are all too long. I was wondering if you might list Amaazon links that feature more petite casual clothing like the lounge sets.
That you for your posts and all the fashion tips.
Sherrie, I’ve not found many petite sizes on Amazon. 🙄
Just bought the Pretty Garden jogging suit in black. Thanks for all the choices you give us We don’t have a Buc-ees but we’re getting our own soon. Sounds like a great place especially with clean bathrooms
Thanks for less pricey alternatives! I’ve never even seen a Buc-ees! But, I’m in California…I love the dress❤️ Happy Thursday ❤️❤️❤️
I just love the black and white track set. It’s new and updated and looks very chic on you.
Blessings!
My Service Dog andI stopped at our first Buc-ee’s to top off our tank and use the clean restrooms and before I knew it, I came out with a bag full of things and nothing for me He is one spoiled dog
Lol!
Thanks for showing us these alternatives!! And, by the way, those jumpsuits like fabulous on you!!!
I’ve never left Buc-es empty handed. I always buy food. Last year I just went to my local one to look around. I bought leather earrings. I thought about you. I remember you said you have shopped everywhere even gas stations. I thought I now was like you. I bought earrings at a gas station. Lol.
Terri, gas stations can have the most unusual things!
I cannot find the inseam length on the ANRABESS lounge set on Amazon. Could you please see if you can find an inseam length. I take a 31 inseam and have issues finding full length pants. I want to order this but don’t want to go thru the hassle of sending it back if the pants are too short.
I normally take a 32″ inseam, and these are long enough for me.
Bucees! I’ve been in there and yes, walked out without buying anything. Most unusual for most people. Lol.
So I’m curious…are these lounge pieces better than sweats? That’s what I tend to lounge in. These do look softer and more flowy.
Not better, just different. They are softer and more flowy, not quite as thick.
Good Morning Sunshine! 🌞
I’ve been very impressed with the Anrabess line from Amazon. Great stuff and the leisure wear doesn’t disappoint.
We all love the Spanx line as well but not the price!
Blessings for a great Thursday!
I love that sweatshirt dress.
I really like the jumpsuits.
Thanks for finding lower cost fashions!!
The pink one is so pretty!
Buccees has good nuts. We stop on the way to my in-laws. So last time I decided to check out the “cleanest bathroom “ claim. The bathroom is HUGE with a woman directing traffic in there.
It is crazy there. There are always so many people.
Buccees is over whelming to me. I use the restroom and leave. Have a blessed day. We are in Florida and it storming here. Headed back to TN today. It is going to be fun loading the car in the rain.
Thank you for the comparisons. Still in the 80s here.
Comfort clothes are my thing! Thank you!
Great alternatives!
