I think I may be the only person on the planet that had no idea that Lululemon made leggings in different materials to correspond with different activities – sort of like how Nike makes different sneakers for different sports! Now that I’m aware of this, it changes the leggings game completely!!
I’ve always been very particular about my leggings – they always have too much cotton or they’re too “workout-y” or too long or not the right pattern. I could never seem to find the perfect pair. Well DUH – that’s because I’ve always been trying to pick out one pair for every activity.
I’ll break it down for y’all so you don’t turn out like me LOL. The white and the camo leggings you see here are the exact same material, and they are THE. SOFTEST. MOST BUTTERY. MOST VELVETY. leggings on the planet!! No seriously. They would probably melt in your mouth if they were candy! These are made for yoga, so they’re perfect for lounging around the house, running errands, or hanging with friends – so basically anything other than actually working out (who uses leggings to workout anyways?? LOL).
While the white and camo pairs are the same exact legging in different patterns, the last leopard pair are a totally different material. These are made for running and training, so they have more of a spandex-y stretch and sweat-proof texture! I’d recommend these if you plan on working out or exercising in them because they’ll be super breathable and hold up well while you sweat.
Lululemon leggings run small so I always size up one from my normal size. Also, they come in various lengths depending on your height – I am petite at 5’2 so I always buy the 25″ leggings so that I don’t have to roll them up, but if you are a few inches taller I would recommend the 28″ ones.
So there you have it! The secret of Lululemon leggings is out! Just kidding… I think I was the only one that never knew this, but I’m glad I know now. At least I got some great pairs of leggings out of it right?!
