Lululemon Wunder Under Pant in Herringbone!

Omg, why didn't I buy the Lululemon herringbone Wunder Under pants when they first came out like 3 months ago??  I just went to the store yesterday to see what I could exchange my black pique Skinny Will pants for.  They happened to have one last pair of herringbone wunder under pants in my size.  Why were they not completely sold out?!  Lol.  I tried them on, and knew immediately that they would come home with me and be loved to pieces!

What was I thinking not getting them before??  Oh, I think it's because of this picture that completely does not represent how cute they are in real life:


Were those that came out around beginning of September a different pair?  Why do they look totally different from mine?  The ones I bought appear to be darker, and the stitching is the same color as the pant.

Update:  Found out that those are different!  I got the new release that haven't been uploaded online yet... no wonder!  They are darker and I like them much better because they don't have the contrasting colored stitching - I am finding out that I'm really not a fan of that look.  Here's a comparison pic a nice lady posted on facebook.  Older ones that came out in September are on the left, and the newer ones on the right.



This is what they look like on me:



These are actually my first pair of Lululemon full length wunder unders!!!  Can you believe it?  I only bought crops before.  I would have preferred crops in these as well, but since they are so damn soft and comfy, I can't complain.  Full length is great for wearing under boots anyway.  I will most likely be wearing them around as casual/lounge wear and not as workout wear.  Even though it feels so divine, it's thick and rather hot to sweat in.  Maybe yoga or something low impact.  But I can't even remember the last time I did yoga lol.

These feel so much nicer than the black pique luon, it was a no brainer.  I gladly gave them back the Skinny Wills in exchange for these.  I even got $17 back.

Full length wunder unders are quite long!  This is how long they are on me... kind of pools at the ankles a little.  Maybe I'm just a shortie.  For reference, I'm 5'5 and "regular" length at most clothing stores are perfect for me.  These are my regular size, 4.  Although they fit a little tighter than regular luon I think.  Not enough to size up though, in my opinion.  I actually love that they fit tighter because I guess I'm kind of shrinking down to the size 2 territory so these happen to fit me very well.



They make the butt look pretty darn good, if I do say so myself!  Lol... but seriously, they mold your butt better than other pants, probably because they are a little more compressive.




I actually also tried on the pique Skinny Will pants again at the store.  Pique is much thicker and nicer than black pique.  But I couldn't get over the horizontal lines on my ass, it looked really weird.  The lower calf logo didn't help either, so it was an easy decision to get these herringbone pants.

I'm so excited, because I'm going up to Nor Cal for Thanksgiving in a couple days.  It's colder up there.  I'll live in these pants, my boots/Uggs, and either my Don't Hurry Be Happy pullover, or my Off The Mat jacket!  Woohoo!  :P

  1. What's the color code on these pants? Love them! I was about to order the herringbone online but I think the ones on you are a different shade.

    1. I'll look when I get home from work. They are different from the herringbone ones that were uploaded online! They are darker. They should upload online soon I think. I'm surprised they weren't last night.

      Cross my fingers.

    6. Kathy you bought the correct ones (the same one that our lovely blog host does). I bought these new ones online on the CAD site and I also have the older (lighter coloured) ones from a few months back, the color code on those is Herringbone Heathered Slate/Black :)

  2. Next time I should read through the whole posting. I saw the picture and thought "so cute" so I started looking at lululemon. After no luck I saw your update part.

    2. It is just the wunder under pant? I see a variety of wunder under pants - wunder under pant full on luon, wunder under pant brushed, wunder under pant interlock, etc. Let me know if you see that they are posted. Haven't seen them yet!

    3. Yeah they are just wunder under pants. They are not on the US side of the site. The ladies above got them on the Canadian side. I don't believe they've uploaded them on the US side. I'm guessing they should be there next week...

    4. They just uploaded them on the US side tonight! Get them before they sell out! :)

  3. I like those. I got the earlier release ones and didn't like the contrast stitching either so I sold them. Might have to go into my local store and check them out!

    1. Totally! These look much nicer IMO. Without the contrasting stitching, they look less "athletic wear", I guess. So that is more versatile.
