Lululemon Upload

by Cristina

Nothing for me today. This upload is pretty light but I suspect that’s a very good thing for those of you traveling here to Vancouver for Seawheeze over the next few days. I’m really excited to see my friends traveling into town for this race. That’s the best part! Both the race and the showcase store should be a piece of cake this year after all the Seawheeze lottery and wristband stress that’s been going on. I hope it’s better organized next year. 

Did you order anything today? Are you a Seawheeze runner that experienced wristband and store sign up stress? What do you plan on getting from the showcase store? Here is a refresher of what we will be seeing from Seawheeze on Friday.

Oooh I almost forgot to mention! My sneakers arrived yesterday. I am so in love with how they look and can’t wait to share them with you guys! I hope to have a post up tomorrow, but truthfully I won’t be able to get to the gym until Thursday (I know it’s going to be burpees that day and a lot of jumping) to try them on for an actual workout and I can’t wait to share them with you so I’m just going to do two posts – one to show them, and then a second to review their performance.

That model is on the UK site too, I nearly made an order just on the grounds that I could see what I’d look like in their pants rather than what someone 3 sizes smaller with a different body type looks like. I really hope they use her more! I can’t believe Lulu is actually using larger models! Hoorah!

It’s not the first time. They’ve used another model with similar body shape a few months back. She’s still sprinkled around the site.

Charlotte September 19, 2018 - 3:14 am

Ah I hadn’t seen the other model before, maybe she’s not on the UK site or I just missed her. It’s dangerous using models who look like me though as I am now way more likely to buy stuff!

That model is fantastic! And she looks happy, which is a bonus considering so many of them look grumpy.

I don’t see anything uploaded yet.

I remember seeing that model and CRB last week somewhere. I think it was UK site.

Any tuck & flows yet? lol. Why is LLL still uploading summer stuff?

I wanted to give a heads up about this year’s ready to rulu pants in black. My pants arrived today. They are EXTREMELY Thin, like they are half the normal thickness of the previous two years rulu pants. I compared them with my 5 previously purchased pairs. I am so disappointed since they have been my favourite pants since baserunners were discontinued. The quality of Lululemon just keeps getting worse and worse.

I ordered as well, they are very thin so I sent them back.

That’s too bad. I have a pair from 2 years ago (black pair) that are nice and thick. I wear them through winter on my way out of them gym. I was going to order another pair but I will hold off.

I like the shade lemon ice so I ordered a CRB in it. That’s about it

I wonder if it’s just the solid black that are thin and the heathered are thicker? I bought heathered blue last year, my first pair, and they are thick. I won’t be ordering anymore though as I find them too high waisted and as soft and comfy as the material is, the fit just doesn’t work for me.

I am not impressed with anything in this drop. The Lab collection reminds me of Juicy Sweat Outfits from years ago. The material in these pics actually looks like velour to me! Someone else here mentioned the material is rayon which I find surprising they would choose this fabric. Isn’t rayon a dry clean fabric or else hand wash? It also tends to bleed and shrink. I have never been into their Lab pieces and these ones are no exception, extremely boring designs.

I returned the High Lines Pullover from last weeks drop. I didn’t like the fit and the pockets in front bulge out quite a bit as the cut is slim fitting.

Kristy September 19, 2018 - 9:49 am

The heathered ones are thinner than last years as well. I bought the black b/c I actually loved the thinner fabric.

I totally agree on the velour look as well as the problem with the high-rise on the rulu pants. I so miss the base runner pants from several years ago…

It’s good to know I am not alone in not liking the fit of the Ready to Rulu joggers. There has been so much positive hype over the years about them so I finally decided to check them out. You don’t realize when you first try them on that the waist is really high because you position them where they feel comfortable when in a dressing room. Only when you wear them for a while does the waist band move up and before you know it they are eating your butt and the waistband is really uncomfortable sitting up so high. As much as I love the fabric I just can’t wear them anymore so I am going to sell them.

I can’t see anything new on the app or website.

Same. It makes me irrationally angry how SLOW the app and website are to update on upload days.

The lab stuff is horrendous. Pretty boring upload. Canada nor US got the camo fast and free tights that have been popping up in stores in the US. Pretty bummed, but hoping they will appear on another upload.

Runrunyogi September 18, 2018 - 1:57 pm

There are camo Fast & Frees???? I might need to track those down. I don’t like the Speed Up line.

Yes, spotted in US stores only at this point. Call around if you are in the US 🙂

Ditto on Lab. The only decent item (imho) are the WUPs, which are crazy overpriced. Maybe they’re better in person, but they look like the regular Shibori ones, just in Luxtreme instead of Luon. I don’t get it.

I am really liking the Wildwood print, but nothing it’s made in yet.

I’m loving the sunny yellow, but nothing it’s made in yet.

It’s terrific to see Zing Pink back, but I already have a LS Swiftly in it.

Lulu is definitely on the upswing – light years better than this time last year – but I’m still having trouble finding things I like. Maybe I’m still judging them by Old Lulu standards, and I just need to give that up.

I agree Lulu is better now than a year ago but have trouble finding things I like. I can’t get over though how many jackets and hoodies are all so similar and have been for a long time. At least they are making some things a little longer in length but I am still finding most things too short. I am also not able to replenish some staples, i.e. DSP due to change in fit. About all I can replenish are Swiftlies. I still hold them to the standards of years past especially in jackets and I don’t think I can give that up.

Runrunyogi September 18, 2018 - 1:54 pm

It’s nice they are offering Lab items online now, however Lulu needs to come back to reality. That wrap is just a longer version of Athleta’s Pranayama Wrap in Lab fabric and at more than double the cost. Btw, highly recommend the Athleta wraps. The Mink Berry/Black WUs are tempting even at that price….. except I’d bet money they’re lined in white which is still a total deal breaker. I like the new colors the Extra Mile line has come out in and would like to try the vest, I don’t need a second $200+ jacket though. A couple of their new jackets are quite cute. This week, the In Movement Tights in Thunder Blue are calling to me but I’ll probably only purchase the Emerald LS in white. Love my staples!

Thanks for your thoughts—I see what you mean about the wrap. $188 seems out. rage. ous. I can see that the Cupro is a fuzzier fabric –the description box says suede-like. Does anyone know what this fabric is made from? I saw another pic on Lululemon Lab’s instagram which looked nice. But I’m dying at that price for such a casual piece.

I mean, I’ve paid more than that for a blazer. But is this Lab wrap going to feel luxe or cheap, I guess is my question.

Reply
Cristina September 18, 2018 - 4:03 pm

Don’t be fooled by the fancy name. Cupro is rayon made to look like silk. It’s manufactured in Japan and is a relatively new weaving technique to make it have that sueded silk look. You can find Cupro items at H&M, Zara and Aritzia very easily.

Amy September 18, 2018 - 4:50 pm

Thanks Cristina–I live-chatted with lulu and they couldn’t tell what Cupro was–good to know! $188 for rayon–um no! 🙂

Emily September 18, 2018 - 5:53 pm

I have Athleta’s Pranayama wrap in multiple colors! It is a steal, even at full price!

I amend my previous statement. Found a store with the camo F&F and ordered them. Yay!

Hi! I found them at the Mall of America store, which is a bonus because they don’t charge tax. I always call them first!

LS September 18, 2018 - 2:36 pm

Another week and I remain convinced that Lululemon has moved in a direction that I’m not interested in from this brand. Saw something I actually considered for the first time in months – the Lab joggers – but I’m not paying $168 for Lululemon lounge pants, and especially not ones made from cupro (rayon). Why do they price everything like they invented these fabrics? Joggers in rayon from comparable brands are easily 1/3-1/4 of the cost of these.

Again, all I wanted was a tuck and flow shirt. I really want to see some stripes! Nothing for me

I’m so with you on the stripes! I really don’t care if they’re trendy or not. I don’t have time for trends; I just want some cheerful workout clothes.

I ended up ordering a tuck n flow from the Australian website then had it shipped to an Australia mail office then to me in Canada 🙂 was really wanting the striped tuck n flow forever !! Surprisingly it came within a week and was super affordable!

Did you have to contact the Aussie mail
Office beforehand to arrange to have it shipped here?

Reply
Holly September 21, 2018 - 1:34 pm

yes- it is called SOS Mail – you sign up for an account online (free) and you receive an email with an address where you can send your package – then simply order from the AUS website and use the address given – you receive an email from SOS advising you once the package arrives at their office – then you pay for shipping (you chose between AUS mail, courier- they advise you of cost) then they ship to you! super easy and FAST!

The lab items are hideous and outrageously priced. Stick to technical pieces. Nothing again this upload. But i am looking forward to sw merchandise so thats ok…fun prints and colours.

I got the Camo festival bag right away! Otherwise, nothing else. The lab pieces are so overpriced.

Sarah G September 18, 2018 - 3:42 pm

The color mish-mash pastels, olives, and muted jewel tones. There is no palette that makes any sense. The stark contrast between Athleta or Alo Yoga where colors harmonize is in stark contrast to this “nails on a chalkboard” clash of colors and patterns; layer on the styling and it just comes off wrong to me

Absolutely agree with you. The colours are all over the place and the styling is really bugging me now to where I find it hard to even look at the pics.

I ordered the jade grey it’s a tie tank. I’m a sucker for green-greys and might need the misty meadow define as well.

My pocketbook is safe AGAIN this week. The lab stuff (except for the bra and WUs) look so baggy and unappealing and are way too pricey. And the cypress kiss half zip has some ruching that makes the model look like she has really saggy boobs. ? But I did like that LLL included models that wear sizes larger than a “4”.

Reply
LS September 19, 2018 - 9:29 am

Yes! I can’t look at that half zip without thinking “front rolls.” Such a weird design choice.

It’s such a shame because I would love a rulu 1/2 zip.

Reply
Samantha September 18, 2018 - 5:38 pm

There are a few things I like this upload (NOT the lab items… ugly!). Green jasper is a beautiful color, the Cypress Kiss 1/2 zip (although while I like how they are using different models, that model is soo slouchy that ALL clothes look terrible on her), the Ready to Rulu joggers in the purple color, and the Front of the Pack 1/2 zip.

Nothing for me though as I’m eyeing staples like dark olive lux WUC and OTF pants. And those camo F&Fs i’m reading about above might win me over. Too bad they’re so pricey! But I adore nulux.

And it’s nice to see the new size 14 model. Most of the models are absolutely rail thin.

I feel like the colours are really odd right now. Why are pale pinks and pale yellows still showing up? Those feel much more suited to spring/summer than fall. I’d love some more rust oranges, sunflower type yellows, etc.

They’re trying to sell the same product in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. I guess the efficiencies they gain by that approach outweigh lost sales. I hate it, personally.

Susie September 19, 2018 - 8:24 am

I tempted with the Wildwood Multi/Nocturnal Teal print.
The Front of the Pack Half Zip is pretty.

I’m holding out hope that they will upload Wunder Unders in Mini Obscurred Black/Dusty Mauve or the Wunder Under High Rise Mesh in Color Crush

Does anyone know what color the All the Right Places pant is? It’s shown with the new Black ‘Free to Be Serene Bra *High Neck’?

I’m impatiently awaiting more flowerescent print items arrrrghhh!!! I literally bought the headband just to stave my need for it a little. Didn’t really help because I just want it mooooore. And I was considering the front of the pack 1/2 zip in that print but I really want tights in it so I didn’t want to buy a top in it too. It had better drop next upload!!!? I an not even letting myself waste money on WMTM this week because I NEED more floral tights asap.
