Holy crapballs. Asia Pacific basically just EXPLODED with new stuff.
[Update: I put the UK upload in its own post.]
Herringbone inspire crops! Namely, giant herringbone heathered black.
More herringbone! This is the think fast long sleeve in heathered herringbone heathered silver spoon black/slate. Maybe I can just call it “silver spoon herringbone” for the sake of my sanity…
Also: I’m sad lulu did more weird crap with the seaming at the shoulders with the think fast LS. Disappointed. Reminds me of the lab city PO. Not my style.
New prisma inkwell print on the free to be bra. Pass.
More prisma: prisma multi guava lava boom juice pace setter skirt. This one is a VERY, VERY easy pass for me. Ew.
Two of the season’s weirdest things had a lovechild: the hot cheeks shorts and the stained glass love print. A commenter today pointed out that the new hot cheeks shorts are primaloft instead of real down. Notice the color scheme on this stained glass love is different: it’s got neutral blush in it, a new shade of very light pink.
This is neutral blush (energy bra).
Subtle serpent gusto blue pipe dream blue. Love the colors here. HK also got the subtle serpent passion crops that Aus got this AM. There’s hope that NA will see subtle serpent since HK got some, too. We probably won’t ever see this NLT though.
Stained glass love scuba hoodie.
New trackers: the geo soul print we already saw a glimpse of, plus boom juice trackers with prisma multi trim.
New straight-up pants for yoga–reminiscent of skinny grooves.
Deepest cranberry wunder under crops. Although they’re not listed as reversible, these are the same ones from Britt’s picks: they show a pic with either the waistband out and the logo at the ankle, or the waistband inside and the logo at the low back.
…What?
Fluffed up scarf-wrap-blanket-bizarro thing made of 650-fill down. It’s reversible with stained glass love on one side and new purple shade called nightfall on the other.
BUT IF YOU LOOK REALLY CLOSE THAT LOOKS LIKE HERRINGBONE. #SWOON
(The fluffed up scarf can be folded up on itself into this little zippy pack–like the miss misty PO. That’s what you’re looking at here.)
New shade on the mat: green sea. This might end up being a men’s color.
Another thing that might be men’s: the small towel in glacier stripe surge.
Blissed out leg warmers. Note the neutral blush here.
Last but certainly not least: centered chevron shuffle pretty purple nightfall. This is one new print I might be able to get behind.
Wow! I shunned the hot cheeks shorts last year, but my cold butt regretted that. Happy these are synthetic insulation since I won’t buy down, but I know Athleta will have a comparable version for cheaper. Lots of other stuff I like but nothing I really have to have.
The nice thing is you probably have a good amount of time to decide/wait for Athleta’s version. I imagine the hot cheeks will be slow to sell out. You may also be able to snag them on MD–the version last year was MD’d for ages.
Whilst all these new prints are rather exciting, and finally fresh, what happened to Lululemon’s uploads and capsules telling a story and fitting together. These last few months have been crazy all over the place. I totally get having different colour pallettes for different season around the world as it doesn’t make sense to sell warm layers where its no longer winter. Lately the items just seem so erratic, or just me?
Definitely not just you. I totally agree. I miss the days when uploads were very organized, and each month had a well-defined color and print palette. It’s been almost the entire year that things have been an absolute mess. I think it’s because of logistical problems in getting things produced and delivered on the timeline they want. I hope it gets sorted soon.
I think the hot cheeks shorts are practical for cold weather running. I’m in a warm climate now but I wasn’t last year, and I would’ve loved a pair at that time (in black or navy or something).
I feel like lulu decided, How can we get our sales up? I know! Herringbone EVERYTHING! …No complaints from me of course!
I stopped in my local store today (conveniently/dangerously located next to the grocery store) and was excited that they finally got inkwell 105f singlets in! I might be the only one, but anyway, yay!
Haha they did lots of herringbone last year around this time too! Textures always do well. Also, I don’t think you’re the only one rejoicing over the inkwell 105F. Basic navy tanks are hard to come by in lulu-land. I would buy an inkwell CRB if they made one–105Fs swallow me whole, sadly. Also, the insulated shorts ARE practical, but I agree with a commenter yesterday that a skirt would be cuter but still pretty practical.
