New gear drops every single week at Lululemon and this week we’re stoked that its lightweight LuluLinen is finally here. As someone who tries to wear functional yet stylish athleisure wear during the summer, this linen clothing line aligns with exactly what I’m reaching for to wear on blistering hot days.
We love shopping for new versions of classic silhouettes. Similar to its Align No Line launch back in May, the LuluLinen collection is comprised of similar designs that we know and love, but are updated with seasonal materials. Below are the men’s and women’s pieces. They come in a handful of neutral colors and, for the most part, range from sizes XXS to XXL.
A breezy oversized button-up is dreamy for those days when you want to look presentable but feel extremely comfortable. It comes in a crisp white or light khaki and is long enough to cover your bum if you want to throw biker shorts underneath for a more casual look.
Splurge for the matching shorts if you're already getting the top. They come in an additional baby blue color if you want to tastefully clash and are a substantial six inches long to prevent your legs from chafing when dashing around the neighborhood.
Still looking for the perfect gift for your hubby, dad or other father figure in your life? Look no further. These ultra-light pleated trousers are suitable for summer barbecues, dinners out on the town and even beach vacations. The hardest part will be choosing which earth tone to buy.
As a trouser lover, I picture myself wearing these into the office with a mock neck top and ballet flats for a smart casual look. The bottom of the pant legs are cuffed and hemmed to avoid unnecessary tailoring. For those who avoid belts, these pants have an elastic waistband that stays put all day long.
Channel your inner Paige DeSorbo with a drapey double-breasted blazer. It's suitable for cool days in the office or seaside walks and pairs nicely with the high-rise shorts and a cropped bra top. This blazer also covers your rear if you want to throw it over an athletic set or onesie post Pilates.
Personally, I like the tailored look of the men's short sleeve versus the women's. It also comes in three different and lighter colors and a light blue that is the perfect beach pastel. Lucky for men's clothing wearers, it's also $10 less than the women's.
While linen is in the name, this new fabric wicks sweat better and is less prone to wrinkling. These casual shorts can take on vigorous walks and lifting sessions with ease and the roomy glute and thigh areas are perfect for those who need the extra inches.
Pull-on pants are my go-to for a number of reasons. They look great with an active sandal like Tevas or Chacos and pair nicely with Birkenstock Boston Clogs. I adore the darker colors that these bottoms come in and appreciate the leg tapering for a more polished look.
