You can’t put a price on comfort. Actually, yes, you can. And when you do, lululemon will triple it.
But before we get into lululemon’s new reflective leggings, I’ll say this: I get it. When life allows you the opportunity to wear something with an elastic waistband, you take life up on that opportunity. Wearing a comfortable pair of joggers in bed on a Sunday night is exponentially more comfortable than wearing a pair of old soccer shorts from high school with ratty liner. I’m not averse to over-spending on a pair of sweatpants that I’ll wear regularly rather than on a nice suit that I’ll wear twice a year. But with that being said, there’s no way in hell that the sweatpants should just the same amount as a suit in the first place.
Lululemon is really good at pissing the world off. And in the next chapter of making everyone low-key hate them, they’re now charging $300 for a pair of reflective “Speed Tights,” which most people will just call bougie-ass yoga pants. Oh, and they’re also charging $100 for a sports bra made out of the same material.
Since their release in Canada, they’ve pretty much received nothing but hate because people don’t want to spend a car payment on a pair of stretchy pants. Which I get. But let’s look a step further into this so you can avoid getting too emotional over a pair of yoga pants.
If you’re dating a girl who wears these pants: dump her, because you can’t afford her.
If you’re friends with a girl who wears these pants: she talks shit behind your back.
If you see someone wearing a pair of these at the gym, spin class, or yoga: she’s the character in Things Girls Do After Graduation.
And if you are a girl wearing these pants: I’ve got some friends who would like to temporarily date you until they realize they can’t afford you.
Let’s just all do ourselves a favor and just go outside the world of lululemon for a bit. Besides, all of their clothes only fit you if you’re in shape, and I’m not wearing workout clothes because I’m in shape – I’m wearing workout clothes so people think I work out even though I don’t. .

100% chance of being hot if wearing these
As evidenced by the stock photo. Blonde could probably suck the life out of your dick.
No way she goes down except on your birthday and valentines day (if you dropped a over a grand).
I said could, not that she would.
I dropped a grand on my student loan payment. Does that count?
This exact conversation has been had in regards to why Todd stays with “Girl”, thus proving the genius in Wills writing.
I’m not picky, I’d get with any of the ladies in the stock photo.
I was about to mock them, then I realized I have a $400 cooler. Granted, it will last longer, but still.
#Yeti4Lyfe
Yeti might be one of the most overrated and overhyped products in the world today
While you’re here, you should hop on over to Man Outfitters and do some browsing.
If I didn’t get them at cost, I would probably have a knockoff. That said, a Yeti or similar cooler is necessary when it’s 110* and you need stuff cold for a day+ and not just hours.
Certainly, but they were kinda first at it, so emperor’s new clothes and all. I use a knock-off and am always chill(ed).
Yeah…. I love sweatpants too…. but that’s a lot of wedding money that I’ll tell future Mrs. Hacker I’m saving when she doesn’t get these bad boys for Christmas. (I’m gonna blow it on booze and craps)
Reason #467 to indulge in naked yoga…….
I’m actually opening up a naked yoga studio. Need an instructor if you’re looking for a job.
Sup, Mr Ubbo
Hi
Can you make this a series please?
Give me some aluminum foil, and I’ll make some shiny yoga pants for half the price. You can even call them limited edition, artisanally crafted.
…But the good news is we can now go down the TGDAG rabbit hole when we want to be particularly pissed off at the world. Thanks for that catalog link!
Makes things so. much. easier.
Just re read the first date installment of girl and Todd. Poor sap never had a chance.
At least he got laid on night one. She didn’t seem that terrible back then, but one can wear a mask of deceit for only so long.
Lululemon was already out of my price range before they released these $300 leggings.
(Thanks for that TGDAG catalog link though…)
Is anything produced by this company ever worth it?
You watch yourself, homie. Lululemon is my TheRealJesus.
Hey, nice to meet you.
Although “sup?” is an art form, your intro is better. Hi, nice to meet you too.
After work drinks sounds good.
Sorry I was just curious, I’m too cheap to buy any.
Username checks out
their yoga pants are awesome. i also have a bunch of their tops that i wear to the gym.
btw every thursday they put new stuff in their sale section that’s called “we made too much.”
As a swim coach who spends all day in hot humid natatoriums, I live in their shorts. They are phenomenal. I never thought a pair of shorts could be worth the price tag until my fiancée bought me a pair. I was wrong, so very wrong. Give them a try.
I would 100% like to temporarily date girls who wear these pants until I realize I can’t afford them.
I actually like these but I’m scared of giving off “Girl in ‘Things Girls Do After Graduation'” vibes. Also $300 is six pairs of leggings from Nordstrom so I guess these are a solid no-go.
