lululemon Tuesday Top 5 (9/3/19)

Tuesdays are the best day of the week in lemon world. All the ‘latest and greatest’ products drop in the lululemon “upload” – meaning all the new product for the week is added to the website.

And all the #lululemonaddicts out there are glued to their computers adding item after item to their shopping carts.

Each week, I sift through the upload and bring you my top picks in both women’s and men’s – as well as tips on sizing, education tidbits on fabrics + features and, hopefully, a laugh or two along the way.

So, here are my favorites from this week’s new product drop:

Women’s

Now and Always collection: These iconic lululemon shopper inspired designs are upping the lux factor with real leather! These bags are water-repellent and easy to wipe clean. You’ll find tons of pockets perfect for your laptop, passport and other essentials as well as removable shoulder straps.

A note on leather from lululemon’s website: “We’re Committed To Mindful Choices In Our Raw Materials And Responsible Sourcing Is Important To Us. The Leather Trim On This Product Is Sourced From Leather Manufacturers Who Have Been Audited And Medal Rated By The Leather Working Group”

Now and Always Crossbody *5L ($128)
Now And Always Tote *Mini *8L ($148)
Now and Always Tote *15L ($198)
UPDATE: There’s now a mini version of the Crossbody and a keychain as well (not pictured)

Summit Stride Sweater in Heathered Core Ultra Light Grey: This cotton-blend half-zip sweater breaks from the usual 0-14 sizes we’ve come to expect from lululemon and instead comes in XS-XL. For reference, the XS will be most like the lululemon size 4 while the XL will be most similar to the lululemon size 12. Thumbholes make this an easy layering piece under your ski jacket and the small pocket on the left arm is a perfect size to stash your ID, credit card and a couple dollars cash. ($128)

Always On High-Rise Tight 28″ in Intergalactic: This dark grayish-purple is so subtly “not black” that it’ll easily pair with pretty much any color. The feminine old-school “V” waistband is reminiscent of the Astro Pant, but the updated Everlux fabric will be better suited for your high impact studio workouts than Luon. These are a 28″ inseam, so if you prefer the 7/8 length or a custom fit, you’ll have to head into a store for complimentary hemming. ($98)

Time To Restore Tank in Heathered Core Ultra Light Grey: This is the tank version of the wrap short sleeve mentioned in a previous Tuesday Top 5 post. The Pima Cotton feels soft against your skin and is naturally breathable. I actually can’t decide if I like the short sleeve or tank version better. ($54)

Noir Short 5.5″ in True Navy: These wrinkle-free, flowy shorts are easy to dress up for the office and just trendy enough to last through happy hour. Although these shorts do have an elastic waistband, they can be a little tricky to pull on since the woven material doesn’t have much stretch; keep wiggling and they’ll fit true to size once you get them over your hips/bum. ($78)

Men’s

Navigation Down Vest in Black: Technical meets sleek in this streamlined down-filled vest. This vest is windproof and water-repellent, while the stitch-free ThermoChannel technology prevents cold spots. You’ll find zippered exterior pockets with a hidden phone sleeve as well as an interior zippered chest pocket to keep valuables close. ($168)

At Ease Jogger in Heathered Melody Light Grey/Black: Relax post-workout in these soft, textured joggers made with four-way stretch and natural breathability. The tape detail on the back doubles as a locker loop and the drawstring moves from outside to inside the waistband for a customizable look. (Don’t forget the matching hoodie!) ($128)

Evolution Long Sleeve Polo in Arctic Plum: The Evolution Polo is one of the best-selling men’s pieces and now it comes in a long sleeve perfect for those dropping temps. It’s moisture-wicking and anti-microbial to take you (stink-free) from the golf course to the club for dinner and drinks. ($98)

Alpine Air Crew in Heathered Core Medium Grey: Sweat-wicking Merino Wool is soft, naturally insulating and helps to regulate your temperature. Make sure not to throw this one in the dryer, y’all; it’ll shrink, so lay it flat to dry only. ($148)

City Sweat Jogger *Thermo *29: in Heathered Dark Terracotta: Keep your muscles warm pre- and post-training sessions with these Tech Fleece joggers. They’re brushed on the inside for extra softness and heat retention. There’s a zippered back pocket to keep your wallet safe and hidden media and coin pockets for other essentials. ($118)
