Lulu lemon clothes

With a rise in prices in Nike, I think lululemon is a good competitor for superior tennis clothes at lower prices.

I own lots of Nike Adidas and lululemon clothes, and I can say that for me I would pick lulu shirts over anything Nike for breath ability and softness

Shirts run 68$ for the best workout ones and 50$ for the cotton nylon blends

Worth it to give it a shot if you haven't yet, the metal vent tech shirt is my favorite and the pace breaker shorts are incredible with built in compression shorts

Also they come out with new colors and styles every 2 weeks, so if you don't like the style and colors there are always new ones just a couple weeks away.
 
My wife loves that brand for working out at the gym. I personally like Under Armour shirts but the built in compression shorts you mentioned sounds interesting.

Try it for tennis, the quality is head and shoulders above anything Nike or Adidas

The dri fit feeling is far superior and handles sweat better, with special fabrics that kill odor causing bacteria
 
I like the shorts, but not a huge fan of the shirts. They have been making henleys though, which I love to play in.
 
At least half of my female clients where their pants. Makes my day go a lot faster...

On a side note, they do have some solid workout gear. I really like their shorts but haven't worn them for tennis.
 
$68 for a nylon shirt is a rip off.

Go to a store and feel the clothes, lasts a lot longer than Nike, thinner, and a lot softer. I don't wear anything but the shirts for tennis


Look at it and read the reviews

It's not nylon, it's just stretchy, they don't sell the model of shirt that I have, well not anymore Cuz it got updated but I just got this one and I can say it's pretty amazing

They last longer because people who buy their stuff baby the clothes, don't put it in the dryer etc, because they paid so much godddamned money for it. If you treated that same nylon shirt you bought for $15 at Ross the same way, it would last forever too.

"Luon" is just nylon and lycra.

These clowns managed to make see-through pants. That's some good product design and quality control right there. Seriously how does that even happen? Hubris, that's what it is. Hubris afforded by having a gullible customer base.

They're shirts and shorts are vastly superior to Nike, unless you've felt it and tried it on its easy to make brash statements.

Go to a store and try it on, you might be surprised by how much better it is than any big brands today

And the see through pants... Well Nike managed to make a whole season worth of see through stuff with their Wimbledon clothes these past 2 years, materials just shy of being as see through as glass.

And I wash and dry the clothes just like any other shirt and any other pair of shorts, still look good and still going strong
 
+1 in support of Lululemon. They make a significantly superior product when compared to both Nike and Adidas.

I was the biggest Lululemon hater out there until a year or so ago. I had just bought a few Nike shirts and within a few weeks, the logos were peeling off of the chest, which, let's be honest, is a huge reason why you buy Nike in the first place..

Anyway, I changed my mindset from price to quality and have not been disappointed with any of Lulu's gear. I own several t-shirts, long sleeves, pants, and shorts. All of the gear is great. It does a great job of not stinking after a workout and feels great. I also have noticed that the material will not stretch or lose shape, which is another complaint that I have about Nike is that the necks stretch and so do the shirts after a long enough time.

The Core short is highly recommended. It's very light and is great for tennis and the price point is very similar to what Nike is asking for a lot of their shorts. They have a lot of cool and unique colors and getting to see the girls that work in the stores is a bonus too.

Plus....the shirts are cheaper than the Nike ones!!! 68$ is what they're charging for the best shirt, while its what Nike offers us for the dimitrov line

Yup, I totally agree with everything you said and may I add that if you factor in the longevity of a Lululemon shirt, the cost is way cheaper than Nike. I have a few Lululemon shirts that are close to 5 years old and they still look and smell good. If you compare that to a Nike shirt that lasts me 2/3 years max, it works out to approximately half the cost. Lulu also has free hemming, so my shirts have a perfect fit for my wide shoulder/narrow waste physique. No more baggy skirt look.

Lulu has an unique style with different shades and colours which gets compliments from the ladies quite often :)
 
Update, last year I accidentally got ink on a red shirt and I thought it was ruined, today for the heck of it I got a bunch of hairbands and did the thing like before you tie die and tossed the shirt into a bucket 4 parts bleach 1 part water to get it to at least look like a ️cool tie dye pinkish white look to salvage the shirt


15 minutes later to my surprise the red did not do anything but fade a tiny bit, but it's still vibrant, and the pen ink was gone


This is truly the most incredible thing I have ever seen
 
Stuff is fantastic but expensive. Uniqlo is what ripped me from the clutches of lululemon tho, despite the fact that their quality is slightly better
 
Lulu shirts are the best. I have one that is 7 years old and still going strong in the regular rotation. I have a pair of shorts from a few years ago that are great for tennis. However, I went to get some more, and it seems all their new shorts have fairly shallow pockets and are not good for tennis.

The pace breakers are good for tennis but that's all
 
well I'm posting here again, they have the most comfortable sweatpants for the cold. I've been wearing the city sweat jogger all winter and they've kept me warm. A stretchy Lycra/cotton mix I think, and I just picked up a long sleeve metal vent tech shirt that has the New York City skyline as part of the fabric instead of as a graphic put on afterwards.

Best clothes for tennis, working out and, casual wear.

If you are paying adidas and Nike retail and sale prices I would recommend looking towards this brand. 68-78$ for a shirt that breathes stays dry and doesn't smell. They last forever too. I've had some of these for 2-5 years and are just as soft and not faded.

If you are going to put that much effort into advertising a brand at least you can mention models and model years, so that the people know what "superior products" they should be looking for.

Also, your experience with clothes (models, brands, what problems have you encountered etc) is a plus when making such bold statements as you do.

:cool:

That is better (although not by much).

Some of your claims are pretty wild.

What kind of problems have you encountred with all the other brands?

Nike fades and the logos fall off

Adidas collars got bubble and faded

All my fed collars are limp and the buttons are a mess

I also have a lulu polo from 3 years ago, the collar has stayed the same

Uniqlo polos got stiff and faded in the sun

I have more Nike clothes than you can imagine and I will get the cheaper and better lululemon clothes for working out

Everyone should get one just to try it out, it's just better

Everything fades under the sun. :)

Some faster, some slower, but don't tell me it doesn't.

Even the best quality materials and I have a hard time believing that Lululemon had found the holy grail of clothing. Especially with their synthetic mixes.

Next, "all my fed collars are limp and the buttons are a mess".

What is that supposed to mean?

I am yet to have a problem with collars on RF polos (they are soft and somewhat short but "limp"?) or have a problem with the buttons (or do you mean to say the button holes, in which case - have you got polos with the laser cut button holes or something else?).

I am somewhat perplexed, as your two links show garments with no buttons whatsoever and certainly not in a POLO version.

How do you know what happens with the "collars and the buttons" on their garments, have you used such from them and why don't you use them now?

As for being cheaper, I am not very well acquainted with the pricing policy of Lululemon, but I am pretty certain that Nike has great (probably the best) pricing policy in the bussiness and you can find their stuff on pretty heavy discount practiacally everywhere in the world. Not sure about Lululemon in that regard.

Don't get me wrong.

I am all for trying new things (after all, I actually use my stuff from other sports for tennis and generally cross use everything as some things are more practical than others in different conditions and I am all for practicality, comfort etc), but, after a while, when you come back for the 10th time to just reiterate some of your previous thoughts, without providing any new or useful information, it gets a bit suspicious, IMO.

I buy Adidas, Discount Nike, and Under Armour because I can still pay rent, utilities, and buy gas and real food afterwards. But this thread has really got me thinking, maybe the real reason my girlfriend wants to move in with me is so she can save on living expenses and spend more money on their stupidly overpriced yoga pants, and sports bras.

lululemon marks down clothes, in the sale section. 120$ sweats are as low as 50$ and these shirts will fall to 48$ usually


I have the 2009 red day fed polo from us open and the collar is not very good. The button holes are loose and the collar doesnt really hold shape and flops all around

I have the orange creamsicle shirt from 2012 miami and the button holes are also loose and the shirt is extremely faded. My lululemon shirts all have gotten more wear in the last 3 summers than anything else and with roughly 80-90 washes for each garment they are still going strong and look bright

My uniqlo shirts have become rough and have lost their softness, my lululemon shirts have not had any issues and are just as soft as when i first got them

the collars from the 2009 style shirts that have the different collars have all become limp and the black faded to a brown color.

more recently my pink 2012 rf polo has lost most of its color, and none of nike logos have lasted more than 3 months of normal use.

Is there a problem with my computer, or what I am seeing is a polo that costs $84 and there are only S and M sizes left?

Also, I will be damned, if I pay $50 for a synthetic shirt on a steep discount.

If you call that cheap, then you don't value money.

Lacoste, Nike, Adidas, Unqlo and a number of other brands go well beyond that, when they are on steep discount.

Sorry, I am not buying your "cheap price" point.

I don't refuse to believe that you might have encountered problems, but I also don't completely believe you when you say such things as the following.

I can also post a RF Polo shirt from a couple of years back and it will display none of the things you are talking about.

Moreover, like I hinted in my previous post, I don't think that you are paying attention, if you make some claims like that.

For example, My RF polos all have a pretty soft collars that just rest on your arms. They don't exactly "stand" and that is actually normal for them. Being soft will make them be like that and that is pretty known between the people, that use high quality clothing.

Next in order of softness is the NIKE Grand Slam polo, which is soft but with somewhat structured (and much wider and taller) collar.

Then come the "normal" polos.

That is why I asked, whether you have used polos from Lulu (not whether they have such), why you are not using them etc..

It was because you have to understand that not everything you buy serves the same purpose or should be measured against ANYTHING.

I am talking here about NIKE as you use the same company as an example, but can give examples with multiple producers, (some probably not known around here, because people will run havoc, if they are to buy such items on their respective price points to play sports), the products of which display the same relation between durability, structure, quality of craftsmanship etc.

I can believe in your first comment.

Such issue might arise from you changing weight (my tailor has to sometimes redo a stitching, after I unwisely have worn a garment too fitted for me), too tight garments, floppy washing service etc, etc.

I cannot believe that your Lulu clothes have not lost some colour after three seasons of frequent wearing in the texan summer.

My uniqlo shirts have become rough and have lost their softness, my lululemon shirts have not had any issues and are just as soft as when i first got them

the collars from the 2009 style shirts that have the different collars have all become limp and the black faded to a brown color.

I don't know what you do to your clothes but I don't have that problem in my rotation. I have had a logo fall off here and there, but nothing to the extend that you describe and for laminated logos that is pretty much guaranteed to happen at some point.

What is "normal use" for you?

normal use is extended wear 3+ hours in sun. and the collar statement on brown actually was from my red and black collar rf polo from 2009.

Yes they have faded(well 1 shirt has) but it was do to bleach not sun, and it has kept a bright color throughout its life. I can post a picture later. The clothes are much better than my nike shirts.

I agree the price is higher than most synthetic shirts, but I am comparing them to Federer, Rafa, Djokovic, and former Andy Murray lines which sell at similar or higher pricepoints.

My Lulu shirts dry faster, smell less(not at all actually), and can be worn for 3 matches on a Saturday without needing to be changed( though the salt from sweat does make me change them, though I can still play in them without significant odor like in other shirts).


Lululemon comes out with new colors and patterns every 2 weeks on tuesday. This means if you hate a line you just have to wait 2 weeks. Nike is seasonal.
 
I've stopped spending $ on name brand tennis shirts. Hanes.com has great dri-fit shirts that go on sale all the time about $5/each. I probably have 20 of them.
 
Sure, but for that $100 you could have almost 1.5 lululemon shirts!
Or 2

But let's be real, how many people on this forum are buying 5$ dri fit shirts

I'm simply giving a cheaper higher quality option that is comparable to high end player lines

My question was more like, how many hours a week you use one Polo shirt?

Do you apply the same treatment to your other clothes (by other I mean tennis products from NIKE, Adidas etc)?

Do you use softeners?

I don't have such problems and most anyone, who plays long hours, has a couple of garments in his bag, so it wouldn't be a problem, even IF they had that issue.

You yourself said that you change your shirts regularly, so, whether they "smell" after you take them off, is, well, ...

I am not familiar with that kind of policy, but what happens if you actually like the colours but are unwilling to pay full price or even slightly reduced such?

1. How many times do rf and Rafa shirts drop below 50$...never

I use the polo 3 or so hours a week depending if I want to wear it 2 or more times.

I treat my Nike the same way

I do the exact same thing for both garments, cold wash hang dry(if I'm in a rush I will machine dry) and no softeners as I'm allergic.

The idea behind the stink free lulu shirts is so you can wear it in the morning for a workout and wear it after work with no problem. I'm not down to do that, but you can if you wish as they wont smell.

Incorrect (though I can speak only about RF polos).

I use the polo 3 or so hours a week depending if I want to wear it 2 or more times.

What you are saying is that you had your RF etc. polos fade/lose colour in about 40 hours under the sun?

You are also saying that some of the logos of your Nike shirts fell off after, what, 10 to 15 washings.

The idea behind the stink free lulu shirts is so you can wear it in the morning for a workout and wear it after work with no problem. I'm not down to do that, but you can if you wish as they wont smell.

I don't see the bleach in that routine.

Besides, perceived benefits are no benefits, if you don't use them.

Unless.

You might be surprised. I don't want to get in trouble with this board, but I think a lot of tennis gear is overpriced. Maybe, I'm just cheap.:p I do have a fair amount of tennis clothing from major brands, but almost all my tennis spending these days is on shoes. Some of the major brands are pricing me out of the market.

I'm simply giving a cheaper higher quality option that is comparable to high end player lines.

I don't think there's anything wrong with defending Lululemon. Nike has become a luxury brand so it is legitimate to compare Nike products to Lululemon.

I haven't agreed with some of the assessments of different brands forwarded on this forum. Perhaps part of that is that the quality of a garment often isn't brand specific. I've had some nice shirts from Nike and some stinkers. Same for Adidas, etc. Unless you know the fabric you're buying in a specific shirt, it can be somewhat hit and miss. Some breathe and others feel like I'm wearing a garbage bag.

There's a Lululemon near me. I've been in there looking at the clothing once, and I thought it was overpriced, but they are a big presence among women club tennis players in this area.

I bleached a shirt that was bright red because I got ink on it from an exploding gel pen.

The ink came out and the shirt lost only a shade of color and is still very bright

There's a Lululemon near me. I've been in there looking at the clothing once, and I thought it was overpriced, but they are a big presence among women club tennis players in this area.
I think the stigma experienced is that it's a girl brand and so guys can't wear it

I see more juniors use it than federer polos and That's only guys

Even more than that, I think that because the brand is so associated with yoga pants that most men don't even realize that they sell men's clothing. I assumed it was a women's brand until I heard about them selling men's clothing on a business program. I was first interested in the brand as an investment because all the women in this area wear the pants. If you show up on court wearing clothing with the Lululemon logo on it, 90% of the men where I play will have no idea what brand of clothing you are wearing.

Supposedly they'll also hem shirts if you buy them at the store.

Yes they do hem to fit, it's not very expensive, like 10 dollars for a perfect fit.
 
What will the hemming do for your fit?

:confused:
If you're a short person they tailor shirts and pants so you don't have stuff that's too long.

I don't need it, but my friend who is very broad shouldered has to buy xl and get it hemmed so it isn't like a gown.

They also hem sweats and stuff so that your pants aren't too long

Hemming refers to shortening, or turning cloth over itself and sewing it again.

What you describe now is something else, hence my question.

I mean do you like to wear clothes that are too long?? They shorten it, I just said that^^

I personally don't want to wear sweatpants that bunch up at the ankles, most brands are 2-4 inches too long in my size for me to wear comfortably
