lululemon Tuesday Top 5 (2/25/20)

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 lululemon upload:

Women’s

Kitsilano Mock Neck Tee

Colors: Misty Pink (featured), Heathered Core Light Grey, Black
Price: $58

I have the tank version of this from a couple years ago and I’m obsessed; so happy to see the Kitsilano back in a short sleeve this year! It’s designed to have a tight fit, so size up if you want something slightly looser. Side note: I’m pretty bummed the Misty Pink is kinda sheer. You can see it in the pics on the site, and I saw it on a friend today and it’s the same in person. But she loved it and bought it, so there’s that.

Invigorate High-Rise Short 10″

Colors: True Navy (featured), Black
Price: $68

Oooooh, I can’t wait to try these on my Peloton! I have the Fast and Free Short 6″ and 10″ and much prefer the longer inseam for the bike. I really like my new Everlux Wunder Train 25″ (I bought them last week!) and now I’m thinking I need these long Everlux shorts too. Everlux fabric is perfect for the bike (and any other super sweaty class) bc they dry faster than any other lululemon fabric! Although the combo of long biker shorts and oversized shirts are in right now, I don’t see myself wearing these for anything other than the Peloton and the occasional dog walk.

Find Your Unwind Pullover

Colors: Heathered Pink Taupe (featured), Heathered Core Ultra Light Grey, Black
Price: $108

I love that this fleecy-lined pullover is slightly longer in the back for a little extra coverage and although it’s a loose fit, it’s not crazily oversized. And that collar = cozy to a tee. I thought I was done buying pullovers/jackets for the season, but this one has me second guessing myself.

Pace Rival High-Rise Crop 22″

Colors: Heathered Black/Black (featured), Magenta Glow, True Navy, Black
Price: $88

This may not be new new on the site, but it’s brand new to me. We just got these in my store last night and I can’t wait to try them on. (And if they get released in camo, you know I won’t be able to resist snagging a pair!) The old Run: Inspire Crop was my absolute favorite CrossFit pant for yearssss … until the invention of Nulux and the Fast and Frees. And with the trend towards high-rise, I stopped wearing all my mid-rise tights. RIP to the 15 pairs of old Wunder Unders & Run: Inspires gathering dust in my closet.

Urban Strides Super High-Rise Pant 25″

Colors: Cassis (featured), Black
Price: $118

Ok, so these are making the TT5 solely bc I’m wildly curious about them. Is that front seam hideous or are these sharp-looking trousers? I can’t decide just looking at them online, but my interest is piqued. I like that they’re Luxtreme and super high-rise; I’m unsure about that seam and the 7/8 length (although who am I kidding, they’ll be full-length on me).

Honorable Mentions

Looks like the Sculpt Tank got a redesign this week, or rather it looks like they went back to the original design for Magenta Glow. It’s got a higher neckline, different seaming and a slit in the back for a bra strap peekaboo.

And lots of new color in the Hotty Hot Shorts this week! We’ve got the 2.5″ in the Tidewater Teal and Magenta Glow and the 4″ in both of those colors plus Pink Taupe.

Men’s

So much color in this week’s guys upload! Yes, there’s still the typical blues and grays, but it’s nice to be seeing some brighter greens, yellows and purples as well! It’s a long overdue splash of color and I hope it continues!

City Sweat Short French Terry 9″

Colors: Heathered Beeswax/Beeswax (featured), Heathered True Navy, Heathered Core Medium Grey, Heathered Ultra Light Grey/Sea Salt, Heathered Black
Price: $68

I was just helping a guy in-store today who wanted these shorts in this yellow and I had to tell him they didn’t exist. But look at this, now they do! Luckily, he’s a regular and I have a way to get in touch with him – can’t wait to make his day tomorrow with this news! If only the City Sweat Crew had been released in yellow too … maybe next week.

Active Expert Short 6″ (online only)

Colors: Heathered Vapor (featured), Heathered Graphite Grey
Price: $88

Although not available on the website right now, we saw the abrasion-resistant Active Expert back in November in a short+tight combo. This time around, we’re just getting the short – and although the website doesn’t distinguish, my best guess is that these are linerless as the material breakdown on the site doesn’t list anything for a liner.

Deep Determination Short 10″(online only)

Colors: Black
Price: $98

Wear these on their own or under your favorite pair of linerless shorts for an added compression boost. Bonded seams help prevent chafing while the close-to-body fit prevents air pockets.
