Why I do these fit reviews

I love lululemon. I’m sure that comes as NO surprise to you, if you’ve followed me for long or know me at all! I did, after all, get married wearing lululemon.

When I started lemonLOVES, I planned to do a lot of FIT reviews because I know there are a lot of barriers to finding the perfect fit, style, and material to fuel your sweaty endeavors.

I know how intimidating it can be to walk in to the store, see all the fit, smiley, luon-clad employees, and suddenly be listening to a different language that doesn’t have a dictionary (maybe I’ll work on one).

lululemon, in the past, has had a reputation for being judgmental, elitist, and exclusionary. They are on a path to change for the better, and I hope that as an ambassador I can help YOU to feel accepted, included, and valued just as you are.

Thats my why!

up this week…lululemon’s city sleek 7/8 pant

I have been waiting for this pant for a lifetime!!

One of lululemon’s core men’s styles, the ABC (anti ball crushing) pant, has been reincarnated for women.

Read my review to see if it was a fit or a fail for me!

In today’s post, I am including:

• a summary card of the FIT review

• nine exercises I recommend for movin’ and groovin’ at work.

• a video where I highlight the product in motion

• some links to purchase online.

If you do choose to make a purchase through these links, know that your purchase supports this blog and my mission to bring health and wellness education, mindfulness tools, and movement to as many people as possible.

I so appreciate your support!

Fit = Function, Inspiration, Technical Elements

Function:

• Activewear, but make it fashion. This pant looks like a dressy pant but moves like the leggings we know and love.

Inspiration:

It’s always in the details.

• Five pockets!! I think I’m at a point where I will tell everyone how many pockets an item has right off the jump. Deal?

Technical elements:

• Warpstreme material is quick-drying, wrinkle resistant and four way stretch!

This pant is available here in black, navy, and spiced bronze — a great fall color!

The City Sleek pant comes in sizes 0 to 14; I recommend sizing up 1 to 2 sizes in this pant, especially if you have a curvy shape or athletic thighs/quads. I went up two sizes from my Invigorate tights and three sizes from my Align tights!

Sweat tested

I put the city sleek pant to the test in this stretch series. These nine exercises are curated to help you stretch the legs, hips, and spine in a quick work/travel/whatever break!
