They don't have to follow trends; they have to design functional products. Ok, sure, releasing a few standards in this season's hot color is not a bad plan, but you don't have to redesign yoga pants. A well designed pair of yoga pants is forever. Don't mess with things like Speed Tights. They were perfect before. Don't stop making iconic skirts. The Pace Setter was to running gear what a pencil skirt is to business wear. It will always, always, always look good. You just need to slap a decent pattern on it and you're done. And sure, from time to time, the silhouette does need to be refreshed. You can tell a 1975 NBA game from a 2015 game by the clothes, but can you tell a 1995 game from a 2015 game by the clothes? Maybe not. Changes in sports gear happen extremely gradually. Argh. I'll get off my soap box now. It's just so frustrating to see this company so badly mismanaged.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319045721490540616.post-78350444274272346332017-03-15T10:44:13.044-07:002017-03-15T10:44:13.044-07:00Their pima cotton stuff is so bad, especially when...Their pima cotton stuff is so bad, especially when competitors in that particular area/at that price point have been making better fitting, better quality cotton basics for decades.

They released so many pima cotton s/s and l/s tops that not only looked the same but always came in the same colours. All the crop tops all look the same in various fabrics and detail on jackets are basically non-existent. Lululemon never used to follow trends but new management has obviously decided that is the way to go design wise. Lululemon used to have their own unique style and look and other brands tried to mimic some of those styles but Lululemon ruled the world of unique workout wear with so many gorgeous styles, details and colours. Today that is all gone and they are just one of many who design the same stuff.

Too many products are one-offs, so if you missed it (or loved it and want more), too bad, and the quality is largely so bad that I'm not willing to lay money out to test out new styles only to have them literally coming apart at the seams on first wear. I'm actually baffled by the love for some of the new styles that are inferior in quality to old LLL, but I have to assume that most of those people don't have 'old' LLL quality as a reference point. LLL has turned from a technical brand into another boring, class-signaling mall brand. The clothes aren't reliable or functional, and the trendy stuff is too poorly executed and released too late to be relevant. I think they are going to regret putting all their eggs in the 'athleisure' basket, which was on its way out as a trend before they even managed to get up to speed. People don't care about wearing their actual workout clothes in public, but assuming people are going to keep wanting to wear non-technical clothes that just make it look like they workout is a poor long-term strategy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319045721490540616.post-33719766559628428482017-03-15T08:34:40.587-07:002017-03-15T08:34:40.587-07:00I'm liking that Blazer Blue in Muscle Tank II,...I'm liking that Blazer Blue in Muscle Tank II, so I think I'm going to get that and *maybe* the speeds, but I'm not really a speeds lover.

I used to understand what I was getting if I ordered online, bur now there are so many variations on the themes of luon and luxtreme that I can't keep them straight. I miss the old days of one reliably opaque luon for yoga pants and one reliably opaque luxtreme for running pants. And maybe a lighter version of luon for tops.

Their whole aesthetic seems to be targeted towards urban street wear rather than unique and feminine yoga and running gear now. I think I need to face facts that it is no longer a company that resonates with me. I don't know why I even bother looking anymore. I only like the older styles such as defines, CRBs and swiftlies, but the price increases have pretty much surpassed my willingness to make impulse purchases (which is all they can be at this point - they certainly aren't about need). I prefer the old CRB but don't hate the new one that much, I just refuse to spend $52. Even the sale price of $39 is no bargain, at only $3 less than the old priceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319045721490540616.post-30334052367131953172017-03-15T04:26:58.359-07:002017-03-15T04:26:58.359-07:00I bought the bag.

Since the beginning of the year I bought so far Bomber jacket, Gear up l/s, HT in Teeny check, On The Fly pant( although debating if I should return and order Dropt instead . On the Fly are too wide for me in the ankle area), Get Low tank in Carbon , CRB in Blue Tied , 2 Run it out tees on md , On The Fly shorts and just ordered Effortless jacket. So 10 items so far that I can think of. It's not as much as I used to buy, but I reached my saturation point and just don't need that much stuff.

It just seems like an endless stream of not-so-functional clothes. How many boxy crew shirts can they release? How many tanks that tie? How many pants without pockets and covered in mesh? They're all the same, but there has to be a cost to manufacturing so many slight variations of the same, not-so-useful items. <br /><br />And for the life of me, I'll never understand why they don't re-release the unicorns. Or at least go back and study the products people loved. There's so much ego and it's getting in the way of profit. How many times do customers need to say, "Please, bring back ______." And they won't, because why? Because that would be to admit that the current designers aren't God's gift to design and maybe, just maybe, someone else might have had a few good ideas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319045721490540616.post-47616291299741002702017-03-14T16:23:42.211-07:002017-03-14T16:23:42.211-07:00Nothing again for the millionth week in a row.
