This week’s upload theme was cold weather running in full force. The kanto catch me line was a big highlight, which includes lots of rulu! Yay for rulu season! The kanto catch me jacket here (in ultra violet) is a mix of rulu and glyde.
Canadians got the kanto catch me 1/2 zip in a couple of colors, including heathered sapphire blue and white herringbone. The design of this has potential, but it looks like there’s a downward-angling seam just under the bust on the front that could nix this one for me.
And on a similar note, here’s the new kanto catch me long sleeve. These are regal plum kanto stripe and sapphire blue kanto stripe (blue is Canada only). I like the angular details and interesting paneling in this capsule. The details on last year’s rulu tended toward a bit more frilly (ruched shoulders, scalloped reflective details), so I like that these are a little cleaner.
The rest less pullover is back in Canada, though so far just the exact same colors and patterns as last year.
On top of the cold weather stuff, lulu also dropped a smorgasbord of cold weather running accessories. Above is the new run and done toque, run and done ear warmer, run and done neckwarmer, and run with me gloves. The run with me gloves are classic stripe jeweled magenta/red october (ahem, not red), which looks like the same color scheme that was used in some of this year’s SeaWheeze gear.
On the opposite end of the temperature spectrum: new speeds this week! Both sides got ultra violet with contrast trim, while Canada got new cherry cheetah dark slate.
Turn around tights are back in Canada, shown here in heathered bordeaux drama. These are also rulu, so another good cold weather option.
There wasn’t a lot of noticeable newness that wasn’t run-related, but these space dye twist regal plum wunder under pants look pretty nice.
Canada got two new heathered cool racerbacks: deep navy and bordeaux drama. Deep navy wasn’t made available in sizes 2 or 12.
New kanto stripe regal plum vinyasa scarf in Canada. They’re all about that kanto stripe right now.
There’s a new open knit long sleeve coming, apparently, based on this photo from the new pitter patter gym to win duffel.
Lastly, new leg warmers for the fall season: mind your practice leg warmers in wine berry. The mind your practice leg warmers were open knit the last release (see this pic), but these look like a different knit, so it’s a bit odd they have the same name.
I got the kanto catch me run jacket in angel wing in store today. I really like it. Very soft, as you would imagine :) I was hoping the kanto half-zip would have uploaded (US) tonight because I wanted to try the herringbone (though I’m also concerned about that seam). Apart from that, I’m still disappointed the US isn’t seeing more of the long running tights that have popped up overseas and in Canada.
Yes, I’ve been waiting for the rain on train on tights because I want to try them out. I thought they’d come up this week with the other running stuff, but no luck!
I preferred the girly details of rulu tops from years’ past. They were subtle. I don’t like the shoulder design of the Kanto LS – it’s designed like a baby onesie. They have the same sort of shoulder design so you can pull it off baby easily. I really hope they come out with other rulu tops because this one so far is a no for me.
Nothing purchased this week – everything I wanted was on the overseas uploads.
LOL can’t unsee baby onesie….nothing for me this week, either.
Hahahah my son is wearing one of those onesies right now. I don’t want to match him!
i am with you too I really miss all the small girly details. I think this is what sets lulu apart from the other brands… every one else is doing straight lines and clean cuts. I miss the days of 2011-2012 lulu when they added little subtle touches like small ruffles… now I’m begining to really take a look at other brands…
Yup, when Lulu does feminine details well, it’s amazing. I kinda hate that they’ve gone more “generic” in their designs lately. I used to be able to pick out if someone was wearing Lulu because of the design and fit. Now it’s a lot harder to tell. Like that stress less hoodie? SOOO generic. If a Lulu logo wasn’t on it, you wouldn’t know it was Lulu.
Oh man why did you have to say that about the baby onesie?! Here I was thinking I kind of liked the neckline. :P
As for the details, I usually do like little accents and things–I like the subtle ruffles and lace details on my full tilt LS from a couple years ago. But last year, I thought the shoulder details weren’t very flattering (on me anyway) and for whatever reason I just really hate the look of scallops. So, maybe it was too general of me to say I prefer clean lines over feminine details since that isn’t always the case. :)
Sorry girl! :P I’ve pulled so many onesies off my daughter, it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the top.
I do like how Lulu angled the stripes in the back, it’s flattering. Just no bueno on the shoulders!….I would love it if they brought back the full tilt LS. It was my first rulu LS and my absolute favourite!
The kanto catch me long sleeve is interesting… I normally don’t pay attention to lulu’s tops but those are tempting me!
I’m disappointed with the Speed Tight selection so far, though that’s not surprising. The wee stripe print is nice, but too close to the herringbone ST’s I already own. I’d really like a speed tight in a solid color that isn’t black or grey but can act as a neutral (I still regret not buying the black grape pair that came out last year). I will, finally and for sure this time, be visiting an actual store this weekend – I doubt they’ll have anything other than what’s on the website, but I’m crossing my fingers!
I think there’s a naval blue speed tight overseas–if that one makes it, that could work as a neutral. Good luck at the store!!! :)
AAA I’m with you, I like streamline style better as well. Not a big fan of ruching or ruffles. Glad lulu don’t do much of those anymore . Although I’m sure some people like it. To each their own
Yup, and I like a little variety. Sometimes I like the feminine details and sometimes I like geometry and angles.
Went to the store intent on the heathered bordeaux drama CRB, left with the green butterfly print CRB. It looks lovely paired with black. The heathered CRB had that different lighter/cheaper material that im not a huge fan of.
That’s too bad. I’ve never had one of the old heathered CRBs so I suppose I don’t know what I’m missing. :) Still undecided about bordeaux myself, though.
