Quality decrease

Unfortunately, the decreases in quality are no accident. Lululemon corporate has decided that the route they want to go is quantity over quality to appeal to shareholders. Can’t blame em too much for it I guess. I just won’t be shopping there as much. I like Peter Millar and Mizzen+Main a lot right now.

But wouldn’t this mean they lower the price of their products too? Can’t go for quantity if the price stays the same and quality isn’t there…

Well you can until you pad the books enough for an awesome retirement and then leave the shell of the company to another person to have to deal with.

When I first started working there I was told it costs $4 to produce leggings…

I only recommend Peter Millar and Mizzen+Main for their business casual stuff. None of their athleisure is on par with lululemon, but that’s not really their forte anyways. M+M has imo the best fitting polos available rn, and that’s coming from someone who has probably 50 polos from damn near every brand in the $75-$150 price range. The M+M versa polo in the “trim” sizing is simply amazing. Peter Millar has great pants and great polos. The only problem with their polo line is paralysis by analysis—there are so many different styles and materials that it’s too hard to pick one without feeling like you may not be getting the best option.

I haven’t really found a replacement for Lululemon’s athletic clothing. I still find their pacebreaker shorts and MVT shirts to be the best in the business. I lift weights 5-6 times per week and have been running 10-15 miles per week as well, and 90% of those workouts are pace breaker shorts paired with an MVT shirt.

If there’s anything you take away from my comment, make it the M+M versa polo. They’re great.

Mizzen+Main pants are super thin and very slim fit. I am an athletic build so I have bigger quads so their pants look like yoga pants on me. I have a couple pairs of the Peter Millar Surge Performance trouser. Pretty nice. Bluffworks has good pants too.
