Regardless of the brand, workout gear or tennis clothes are fine for a quick errand on the way to/from the gym or tennis court, but to a museum or a baby shower -- really? Even my teen DD and her friends don't wear their soccer stuff when they go out -- and their bods are to die for -- it's just a little juvenile to wear play clothes when you're not playing. (And, yes, this also applies to spectator dress at your kids' sports events too; the only exception: crack of dawn games, matches or meets.)

I don't give a shit whether you wear yoga pants or not, and whether those yoga pants are lulu or not. But honestly, for the life of me, i cannot understand the appeal of lululemon. I've tried. I've gone in there and tried on their yoga pants and they do absolutely nothing for me. I'm in good shape but you know, my ass isn't perfect, and yet these pants are just as dumpy on me as any other yoga pants I would buy at target. So I don't get it. I do love my one lulu tanktop that my MIL bought me (i would never spend that much on a tank) b/c it actually gives me some boobage and lets me go without my padded sportsbra. Can someone explain to me why lulu bottoms are so great?

Really??? Do you workout and change immediately at the gym or go straight home to avoid being seen in your workout gear? Not meant to be snarky, but are you not comfortable in how you look in your workout clothes?

Nice try. I sweat when I workout. I don't want to keep damp, sweaty clothes on my body all day.

It's awfully fake and pretentious to wear workout clothes all day. It's like the women in the late 70's and early 80's who wore tennis dresses all day, every day, regardless of whether they were going to play tennis that day.

Not even close.

Serious. I think the PP needs to consult a dictionary as to the definition of "fake" and "pretentious." Also, I don't get why people get so worked up over this type of thing.

FWIW, I don't own any lulu clothes.

It's fake because you're not wearing them to work-out. You're wearing them to suggest that you like to work-out. As a runner and triathlete, I find people who wear workout clothes when they are not working out to be comical.

It's pretentious because it's Lulumon, which is a huge middle brow label, sort of like Coach purses and Tory Burch flats.

I don't wear Lulu though.

Moms like you are the worst. YOU are not playing the sport. Your kid is.

People who do this are one of my pet peeves.
