When Life Gives You Lululemon

by Matt B on October 22nd, 2008

You’ve had your eye on that super-cute fellow gym bunny on the treadmill next to you for a few days now, but you’re not going to impress anyone in that sweat-stained t-shirt and those funky (in a bad way) shorts. It’s time to update your workout wardrobe.

Just because you want to be comfortable doesn’t mean you can’t be stylish. Check out the athletic wear at lululemon. This Bucktown store (just north of Skewerz) specializes in a wide variety of sportswear—for both men and women—that has received national and international acclaim from both athletes and yogis.

Fortunately, the garments do a lot more than just look good. With flat-seaming and reverse-stitch lining, they avoid skin irritation and allow for more movement. The workout apparel absorbs moisture (keeping you dry), and many are made of Silverescent, an anti-static, anti-bacterial, and anti-odor (thank goodness!) fabric.

Not only does lululemon offer clothing to fit your lifestyle, but they also provide plenty of accessories like water bottles, yoga mats, and gym bags. Some locations even offer free yoga classes.

Now those gym hotties won’t give you the cold shoulder.
