Lululemon

I don't look specifically at yoga-oriented clothing. But was shocked at the pricing. Don't know how they stayed alive this long when many other competitors.

They are Canadian.
Made press recently because their stock is sliding.

When DH and I were in Chicago this past March, I noticed Lululemon stores every few blocks. We went into one of them, and while I got friendly service, the store kind of turned me off. I love yoga and want it to be accessible to more people, but the overt commercialization of it turns me off. I realize there is lots of money to be made on yoga and yoga-inspired clothes, but I think I'll stick to just buying stuff online so it's not quite so in my face.

That's exactly how I felt.
Believe me, I like nice yoga clothes (or any clothes), but something just turned me off about this place.

I went in looking for capri shorts. At my height most just look like high water pants on me Right now I'm wearing board shorts, I got at Title9, they look like capri length on me.

The sales person said if I find a pair I like they will shorten the hem for me, no extra charge I like that emphasis on service.

Still I prefer Title9 for athletic and other gear .... and TE of course

I'm a Lucy fan for yoga gear. Mostly b/c they have an outlet store in Williamsburg, VA that has some super awesome deals. I'm pretty thin, but I'd have to weigh about 25 pounds less to look "good" in Lululemon.

Wow! I'm surprised so many people dislike the brand here. I don't wear it for yoga, I wear the clothes for CrossFit and running, but I find them to be very flattering and well constructed. I don't mind paying for quality and after trying the workout clothes at Target, JC Penney, Nike, etc, I found I'd rather have a smaller wardrobe of better items. And at five feet tall, it's nice to shop at a place that does the hemming for me.

Jessmarimba, I also like Lucy!

But I get that any brand can be less than ideal for a certain body. JC Penney has a very cute line of workout clothing - can't think of the name right now - but the clothes just don't fit me at all, no matter which size or style I try.

I just purchased a Lululemon long underwear top. I am looking forward to using it in the colder weather. It is supposed to fit pretty tightly. I am hoping it will really wick the sweat so I don't get cold. Very reasonably priced when you look at Icebreaker (which I love) and Ibex.

I will give feedback when I get a few rides in.
