Athleta quality is comparable to Lulu. They also fit me better and I like sales, so that’s what I wear.

Athleta is owned by Old Navy/Gap. Old Navy and Gap have gone downhill fast. No longer highly regarded in any capacity.

Athleta fits are better but Lulu has better quality.

What I truly don’t understand is Alo. I have it down as passing fad.

Athleta fits me better than Lululemon so I buy it. I like their tees and leggings (they don’t fall down when running)

Lululemon is now equivalent to Athleta anyway. They have been dethroned and are no longer the go to for higher income women.

Because people think high price = more fashionable = higher quality = higher class.
