Meh. I would rather wear UnderArmor.

ETA: UA for running. I do like Mika Yoga Wear, too.

I have a few pieces from there that have lasted well over five years...great condition... a pullover throw jacket, puffy wind pants, and leggings.

I think it's worth it!

I haven't bought any even though I have been tempted... I wear Zella (Nordstrom brand) and Nike.

They've been in the news lately for the see through pants and how the quality has declined, so I'd think I'd skip.

eta: Check out the stuff on Athleta (in the Gap family). They have great stuff. I've bought a ton from there and I have loved everything.

I used to love it...but have been sorely disappointed with everything I've tried to purchase from there over the past year. Stitching falling apart, sheer fabric (much more extensive than they claim). If you're considering it I'd recommend definitely trying it on in person, testing out the sheerness, checking all of the stitching, and not taking off the tags until you've tested it again in different lighting!

@PrincessBaby: I bought one thing from LLL and the quality seems good, I just think it's on the pricey side and it didn't seem like they had a lot of petite or short sizes. I'm 5 feet tall and there didn't seem to be a huge selection for shorties like me. But my friend teaches aerobics and swears by the stuff.

I love it. I purchased lots of lululemon stuff back when I actually bought myself stuff and not LO (lol) and it is like brand new still. And its what I wear to work all the time.

Great quality and it's very flattering. But I do not like how delicate you need to be with washing them/not drying them on hot because they might pill or get lint from other garments on them... they are workout clothes that are meant to get filthy! And the insane price of course.

@lioneyes: I have never ever been delicate while washing my stuff. They go right in with all the other regular loads and they're fine.

On my oldest pair of pants I've had minimal pilling, and when it has gotten pilling, I just use one of these:

@.twist. that's a good idea, i should get one with a bbb coupon! however doesn't fix the issue of them picking up crazy amounts of lint from our building's shared washer/dryer.

@.twist.: @lioneyes: Ditto - I never wash my lulu on delicate and even my 8 year old pieces are still holding up. They get thrown in with everything else and even the dryer. The only thing I don't wash them with are towels

@looch: @PrincessBaby: The quality of their stuff has been declining. Back in the day, probably around early 2000s, i found the quality much better. Thicker material and longer lasting. Ever since they moved their production from Canada to China, things have changed., at least in my opinion.

@winniebee: I find their prices similar to what you pay for Nike stuff. I think if you're looking for very stylish yoga stuff, LL is a great place to go for a nice treat. Glad you're back on the workout track!!

I have a few items from there and they were always the ones i picked first when grabbing something for the gym. They really truly make your butt look so good. They are pricey and I had a hard time justifying it, since I hate working out, but I did find it motivating to at least look nicer while working out. I have a gift card that I'm saving until after I have the baby and get closer to my normal weight and I think I'll splurge on some new yoga pants-- not so much for exercising but for SAHMing.

I wore my two pairs of capri running pants a lot and never had a problem with pilling, but I always washed them on cold and never put them in the dryer. I never washed them with towels since I always separate those anyway. Dh knows I would kill him if he put them in the dryer.

ETA: That said, most of my workout gear is from Gap Fit and I like theirs almost as much. Still problem with quality and fit, my but just doesn't look quite as awesome in them. Meanwhile I haven't actually worked out in months and nothing fits this big belly right now

@.twist.: @lioneyes: The first pair of pants I got from LLL pilled badly b/c I put it in the dryer a few times. The next few I never put in the dryer and used a gentler spin cycle, which helped a lot! They don't take too long to dry on their own and they still look great.

@.twist.: Hmm, maybe it's because mine were purchased more recently? The newest pair is probably 2 years old?

Love my LuLus. I always grab those when I go to work out, wear around the house, etc. it's a splurge but like PPs, my butt looks good in them and they motivate me when I feel good!

I don't have any tanks or bras from there, but they always look cute on other peeps. I just use champion sports bras from target and the random tees I have from college and some tanks I've picked up along the way. When those need to be retired (maybe they should be already considering I graduated 7 years ago!) I might grab a tank/bra combo or get something from Nordstrom rack!

It's the only thing I wear for working out, and I do a lot of yoga/running/barre/weight lifting. I say it's the only thing I wear because I still have my very first lululemon purchases from five years ago, and they look brand new! So, I keep adding to the collection, and never have to rotate items out! Love! Also, I have ONLY paid full price one time in the past 5 years. If I see something, it will more than likely go on sale. Also, their sales are awesome. Still pricey by some, but $20-$3 bucks off is a deal.

Yes. 100% worth it. No other brand has lasted as long and still looked good, and also, their pants are actually long enough for me, which is rare.

I have a pair of super thick yoga pants from LLL...not sheer at all! I did try on many pairs to decide what fit best. I love LLL but can't justify the price very often. My Champion stuff from Taeget works just fine...although its really hard to find full-length fitted work-out pants.

Their sweatshirts? Absolutely 100%. Best hoodies I have ever owned in my life. For the pants, I think they're exactly the same as the zella line at Nordstrom (a bit cheaper) or the yoga pants at Costco (even cheaper!).
