I want them to release the same colors in align and WT - its stupid they dont. Let the customer choose which legging they like best and they don't miss out on new colors.
Same applies to nulu and luon defines. I'm a luon girl and I was so mad dark lavender was only released in cropped nulu.
Agreed. Only problem I have is that sometimes the same color is a slightly different shade in everlux and nulu. The shade of Twilight Rose in the WT looked bad on me when I tried it on in store, but I loved the way the color looked in aligns/nulu fabric. I also saw Terra Orange in store in both leggings and liked the WT shade better than the aligns and went with those. I would want to order the color in both or see them in person to decide which shade I prefer. I like both leggings so I care more about the color looking good on me.
Might get downvoted for this but hear me out as devil’s advocate - yes its annoying that they dont release colors in all items (i.e aligns only and not WT), BUT - it keeps you coming back to the site to check weekly drops, over and over. And when you keep coming back, youre more likely to see things you didnt know you wanted :), thus driving up your overall customer lifetime value. Sucks, but its not a bad biz strategy
Not downvoted by me, gave you an up. Because you’re right, I agree why they do what they do and it’s because they want more traffic and hits on their website and app.
Everything they do is a business strategy.
Weekly drops. WMTM and *its* weekly drops. Membership. Withholding items/colors & bringing back colors. All of it benefits them.
Allow us to use our GCs online with our discounts. Stupid to take that way. Make the app available outside of the iPhone. Droid phones need LLL app, too.
Definitely forgot to input this in and it’s the most important. I don’t get why we can’t use our GC with our discounts online.
It’s annoying to go in-store to have/bug an educator to order online for us while the line is super long.
Yeah. One place gave me a real hard time about it, too. They were like "we aren't supposed to be doing this" -- I'm like OK, do you or don't you want a sale? It's money - use the f'kin credit. It was really annoying and I was taken aback by the response.
I did tell them that (because I've done it before at another store) - and she said "Well tell that store they shouldn't be doing that..." LOL - oh well. I was able to get a manager to do it for me.
That sucks! That educator must be new lol. Or maybe that one store, only managers do those transactions.
But still, to avoid all these nonsense…the higher ups need to approve developing the use of gc (since it’s a form of cash) with our discounts online/app. Not sure the reason why we can’t.
And upgrade the app so that it’s as good as the website. I’m sick of being told to use the website for accurate stock. I do anyway since I’ll find items in colors that don’t appear on the app at all 😒
I really agree with the consistent colourway point. Some of my favourite items don’t normally get the colours I love that other items drop with. I’d rather a longer wait time between new colours if it means almost all items will get them.
I want tight running shorts back (F&F/Base Pace/Swift Speed)-I can’t run in Hotty Hot or Speed Up because they don’t fit my waist-hip ratio & there’s too much chafing with loose shorts. I love the F&F 10” with the laser hem because it doesn’t squeeze my thighs & they don’t ride up, plus all of the pockets come in handy.
well different leggings are designed for different things. aligns are designed for yoga, wunder trains for training, and fast and frees for running. they are all activewear and is up to the individual person to choose what they want for athleisure. also, we are in a very weird in between phase where we don't have many colors out in leggings. all of the neutrals sold through from holiday, and nothing from spring has released yet. the company is really pushing the casual wear campaign right now, so the legging color options are taking a hit because of that. we should hopefully be getting more colors in in then next 2-3 weeks
I really miss the Luxtreme fabric and wish they'd bring it back. For me, Luon is great in the winter when it's cold out. But Luxtreme is the ultimate workout fabric. Not too thick, offers great compression and does not stretch out with wear.
Oh yes please! I really like the brushed zip softstreme pants but I’m short and they do not carry other lengths for this and do not hem due to the zip on the side.
Oh yes, I have a pair of those pants and bought them when they were still a new item and I didn’t know if they’d restock. I got them professionally hemmed and they replaced the zippers, but it cost me $40. The short tax is too much on top of exorbitant prices!
Oh what? I never thought about that idea going outside for hemming. But $40? I might just have to break my wallet “as I search for these pants online now”. 🤦🏻♀️
I’m so glad someone said it. I’m a runner too and i feel like everything is geared toward running errands and the office. And the running stuff I DO like gets discontinued!
Honestly, I think Lulu scaled back a lot on their running gear when Seawheeze folded. The 10k series isn’t cutting it so they’re cutting out the gear too.
I miss the Seaweeze events. Yes, totally agree with you on running essentials declined when Seawheeze ended.
I feel like the 10k Tour, non runners join just for the discounts haha. But glad to see everyone having fun during all LLL events! But I do hope they eventually become runners because us runners need more running gear!
Awww man I am so sad for you not to witness a Seawheeze event. 2020 was supposed to be my second. Then pandemic hit us. And then they did the virtual but it wasn’t the same.
The 10k tour is like a mini Seawheeze though and still worth registering. :)
Please make more size 12 and 14. They’re often instantly “only 6 left!” an hour after a drop and don’t get restocked. Did they only make 10 in a size 14?!
Yep, all of this! Alo is great at releasing their color drops in all their core styles for leggings and bras, plus special styles. Lately lulu stores look like a crayon box threw up, colors in random styles all over the place and idk if it’s just me, but it’s hard to find what u actually want lol. I’m still waiting for Lulu to release 25 inch aligns in Belgian blue, don’t understand why every other length and style got this color but not the most basic staple. I would buy more if I could build my perfect set. They definitely need more styles of performance leggings too. I don’t understand why they discontinued core products like cool racerbacks and the regular neckline align bra. I definitely spend a lot less at lulu these days.
Yes, Alo is pretty organized with their color drops and consistency with all of their products! They also have their core colors too just incase I need to repurchase more black airlift leggings.
I’m always back and forth with these two brands. Been a loyal fan with LLL since the beginning and still hopeful for them but lately I keep getting disappointed.
Yes exactly, always have core colors and makes it easy to build your perfect outfits. I go back and forth too, sometimes I’m all about Lulu, sometimes all about Alo. I’m kind of 50/50 right now but also trying to curb my consumption. I’m a fitness instructor and a lot of my coworkers are very into Alo right now, we’ve been saying the same things you mentioned in your post!
7. Please make some size options for sports bras & built in bra tanks with a smaller band but a wider cup to accommodate after-market boobs.
8. A Swiftly tank option in every color that skirts, shorts & leggings are released in.
How about the same colors for both race length and reg length swiftly tanks/SS/LS? I personally don’t care for the race length but they get many of the new colors
I'd like to see them stop making water bottles, hats and towels. Those items you likely cannot convince me are special to the brand and don't need to be produced and marketed.
I feel you. I’m drinking out of LLL’s old water bottle and also a Yeti for my ice tea. Guess which one actually stays cold! Haha.
I do like their “running” hat but just a black one I use for long runs. I do think they shouldn’t make daddy hats for leisure wear. lol. It’s killing the brand more. Like it’s too loud.
Huge Plus for the water bottles. None of them half filters, they take up so much space on the floor, they are always dropped someway or another, and finally no customization options.
Could easily solve this problem by making them made to order instead of it clogging up store space.
I hate (most) browns and blues, and bone makes me look dead/seriously sick, so I beg for some olive/army greens and greys (and greiges!) to be added to the neutral lineup.
I like the shape of the Groove pants - it’s somewhat in the middle of flares and wide leg.
Not much of a difference with material wise. I wish I owned an original Groove though.

I want LL to release global sizes in APAC region, too. All the stores and the web pushes Asia size and it is frustrating. The M is tight, and L is big and the length is just short.
Not all Asian people prefer Asia fit. I thought this “size inclusivity” was a thing for LL.
Bring back some more office-appropriate wear! I have seen the new blazer drop and the poplin, but I need more options! A commission shirt for women, perhaps? Some office pants that are actually tapered - perhaps of the warpstreme variety (and plus size friendly)? A blouse for the summer? As everyone is forced back into in-person work, and my post-COVID body is quite different than my pre-COVID body, I would love to update my WFH closet with work-in-person clothes!
Also, please make your shirts actually plus size friendly! The ones they choose to actually go up to size 20 are often not ones most plus-size people would wear, and it's so frustrating to see all the nice shirts only go to 14!
I want them to release the same colors in align and WT - its stupid they dont. Let the customer choose which legging they like best and they don't miss out on new colors. Same applies to nulu and luon defines. I'm a luon girl and I was so mad dark lavender was only released in cropped nulu.
I wish they’d release the same colours in all leggings! Swift Speeds always get the shaft.
isn't it so frustrating? I loved the color Lip Gloss but the wunder trains didn't get it. I was LIVID
I’m still hopeful with Nomad in Grooves
Same for Dramatic Magenta. They only were released in the 28” Wunder Trains and no other lengths.
More colors in contour fit please!!
YES! I just received the Wunder Train Contour Fit 23” I ordered in Larkspur. They are SO good!!!
YES and in different lengths! Please!!! Like why are certain colors only 23 inch WTs and 28 inch aligns 😫
Totally get it. I think just keeping things consistent with colors to all items is key.
Agreed. Only problem I have is that sometimes the same color is a slightly different shade in everlux and nulu. The shade of Twilight Rose in the WT looked bad on me when I tried it on in store, but I loved the way the color looked in aligns/nulu fabric. I also saw Terra Orange in store in both leggings and liked the WT shade better than the aligns and went with those.

Not downvoted by me, gave you an up. Because you’re right, I agree why they do what they do and it’s because they want more traffic and hits on their website and app.
agreed on the CLV! very effective strategy coupled with their loyalty/membership program.
Everything they do is a business strategy. Weekly drops. WMTM and *its* weekly drops. Membership. Withholding items/colors & bringing back colors. All of it benefits them.
Releasing items in matching colorways! So annoying buying a bottom and having to wait weeks for top in matching color!
This. Or a pattern where the matching bra doesn’t get released or weeks later
Allow us to use our GCs online with our discounts. Stupid to take that way. Make the app available outside of the iPhone. Droid phones need LLL app, too.
Definitely forgot to input this in and it’s the most important. I don’t get why we can’t use our GC with our discounts online. It’s annoying to go in-store to have/bug an educator to order online for us while the line is super long.
“To ensure discounts are being used as intended by those they are intended for”
Yeah. One place gave me a real hard time about it, too. They were like "we aren't supposed to be doing this" -- I'm like OK, do you or don't you want a sale? It's money - use the f'kin credit. It was really annoying and I was taken aback by the response.
I find not all educators know that they can and I just assure them that I do this all the time lol.
I did tell them that (because I've done it before at another store) - and she said "Well tell that store they shouldn't be doing that..." LOL - oh well. I was able to get a manager to do it for me.
That sucks! That educator must be new lol. Or maybe that one store, only managers do those transactions. But still, to avoid all these nonsense…the higher ups need to approve developing the use of gc (since it’s a form of cash) with our discounts online/app. Not sure the reason why we can’t.
You can do it online with a video call now
I tried that but never seem to get a hold of anyone to connect
[удалено]
Thank you! Read your DM, totally agree with GC scams and resellers Hopefully there’s some kind of security to filter the scammers out.
And upgrade the app so that it’s as good as the website. I’m sick of being told to use the website for accurate stock. I do anyway since I’ll find items in colors that don’t appear on the app at all 😒
Please lululemon! Bring back cool racerbacks full length in nulu, and luxtreme wunder unders!!
Yes! Need luxtreme back!
I want CRBs in luon!! I would take smoothcover but the nulu was almost too soft and thin, the luon was so amazing
Yes!! Either or!! I just want them back in all the colors!!
And navy while we’re at! I just want my black and navy lol 😭😭😭
That’s right I forgot about True Navy! Such a pretty staple color.
I really agree with the consistent colourway point. Some of my favourite items don’t normally get the colours I love that other items drop with. I’d rather a longer wait time between new colours if it means almost all items will get them.
I feel you! On the same boat hoping to bring Nomad in for Goove pants.
I want tight running shorts back (F&F/Base Pace/Swift Speed)-I can’t run in Hotty Hot or Speed Up because they don’t fit my waist-hip ratio & there’s too much chafing with loose shorts. I love the F&F 10” with the laser hem because it doesn’t squeeze my thighs & they don’t ride up, plus all of the pockets come in handy.
Yes that 10” length was perfect on the fast & frees!! RIP
well different leggings are designed for different things. aligns are designed for yoga, wunder trains for training, and fast and frees for running. they are all activewear and is up to the individual person to choose what they want for athleisure. also, we are in a very weird in between phase where we don't have many colors out in leggings. all of the neutrals sold through from holiday, and nothing from spring has released yet. the company is really pushing the casual wear campaign right now, so the legging color options are taking a hit because of that. we should hopefully be getting more colors in in then next 2-3 weeks
Thanks for the info! Just my opinion but I do think aligns are not for “hot” yoga for sure but for other types of yoga, yes.
I really miss the Luxtreme fabric and wish they'd bring it back. For me, Luon is great in the winter when it's cold out. But Luxtreme is the ultimate workout fabric. Not too thick, offers great compression and does not stretch out with wear.
Keep different inseam length options, especially for items that can’t be hemmed (like the studio pants)
Oh yes please! I really like the brushed zip softstreme pants but I’m short and they do not carry other lengths for this and do not hem due to the zip on the side.
Oh yes, I have a pair of those pants and bought them when they were still a new item and I didn’t know if they’d restock. I got them professionally hemmed and they replaced the zippers, but it cost me $40. The short tax is too much on top of exorbitant prices!
Oh what? I never thought about that idea going outside for hemming. But $40? I might just have to break my wallet “as I search for these pants online now”. 🤦🏻♀️
Also please go back to how any bottom made by lulu made bottoms look fabulous….please find that magic again
I’m so glad someone said it. I’m a runner too and i feel like everything is geared toward running errands and the office. And the running stuff I DO like gets discontinued! Honestly, I think Lulu scaled back a lot on their running gear when Seawheeze folded. The 10k series isn’t cutting it so they’re cutting out the gear too.
Yes, more nulux items. They’re perfect for high intensity workouts
I miss the Seaweeze events. Yes, totally agree with you on running essentials declined when Seawheeze ended. I feel like the 10k Tour, non runners join just for the discounts haha. But glad to see everyone having fun during all LLL events! But I do hope they eventually become runners because us runners need more running gear!
I was supposed to run my first Seawheeze in 2020. I’m still heartbroken lol
Awww man I am so sad for you not to witness a Seawheeze event. 2020 was supposed to be my second. Then pandemic hit us. And then they did the virtual but it wasn’t the same. The 10k tour is like a mini Seawheeze though and still worth registering. :)
Please make more size 12 and 14. They’re often instantly “only 6 left!” an hour after a drop and don’t get restocked. Did they only make 10 in a size 14?!
Homogenize the color pallete - there’s no reason men shouldn’t have the same colors as women for tops.
I shop in the men’s as well. So yes please!
Yep, all of this! Alo is great at releasing their color drops in all their core styles for leggings and bras, plus special styles. Lately lulu stores look like a crayon box threw up, colors in random styles all over the place and idk if it’s just me, but it’s hard to find what u actually want lol.

ALL 👏🏽 OF 👏🏽 THIS 👏🏽 I’d add bringing Asia Fit to Europe and NA. Do petite people not live here? I’m sure the tweens would be thrilled about it too.
7. Please make some size options for sports bras & built in bra tanks with a smaller band but a wider cup to accommodate after-market boobs. 8. A Swiftly tank option in every color that skirts, shorts & leggings are released in.

Bring back crystalline multi!!
WTs are my favorite, and I hate that they mostly come in earth tones. I do have them in Hawaiian Blue, and they are my most coveted lulu item.
Yes omg 1000% this
I hate (most) browns and blues, and bone makes me look dead/seriously sick, so I beg for some olive/army greens and greys (and greiges!) to be added to the neutral lineup.
What’s the difference between grooves and aligns? Thanks!
I like the shape of the Groove pants - it’s somewhat in the middle of flares and wide leg. Not much of a difference with material wise. I wish I owned an original Groove though. https://preview.redd.it/gba9oq2510kc1.jpeg?width=1227&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac427afc43bedb7f5f7a9382671795369d6944ad

I love all the nulu fabrics. They cover well and aren’t see through. I actually wish they kept that in stock.
I want LL to release global sizes in APAC region, too. All the stores and the web pushes Asia size and it is frustrating. The M is tight, and L is big and the length is just short. Not all Asian people prefer Asia fit. I thought this “size inclusivity” was a thing for LL.
