It's been so long since I bought anything from Lululemon. Nothing has been grabbing my attention lately, I guess. I don't like this casual wear stuff they are doing. I very rarely wear Lululemon outside of the gym, so I think they should just stick to more activewear designs! And less of the same stuff in different colors, but more new and exciting designs! Hehe. Well, I bought the
Inspire Crop in bumble berry/hyper stripe bordeaux drama bumble berry this week when they got uploaded. I like bumble berry, and I almost bought the wunder under crops when they came out in this color. But I passed because the color is so similar to my Rogiani crops in berry. However, I've since then decided that I don't like the fit of Rogiani crops (too low rise) that much, so I was happy to see bumble berry out in the Inspire crop! I like the Inspires better anyways since they are great for lower body weight days, and I do that 3x a week.
I thought at first that I would prefer these to be completely solid, but the hyper stripe is rather subtle and very neutral. I do like that they make the crops just a little bit more interesting.
As usual, I got size 4. They fit great, just like the other Inspire crops I have. I'm really stoked that bumble berry goes with my
Nike Free 5.0 TR Fit 4 shoes in fusion pink/atomic mango. I swear these shoes go with every single shade of pink! Check it out... the color towards the back of the shoe is pretty much bumble berry!
That's great because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to wear any of my existing shoes with these crops lol. No worries at all now.
These have mesh on the back of the knee. I like the Inspire crops with mesh better than without. The mesh is cooler and thinner/softer than luxtreme, so it's more comfortable when you bend your legs. I do a lot of lower body exercises which require leg bending, so I like the mesh version of these crops better.
Not that this will ever be seen by anyone other than me, but the waistband has the hyper stripes too:
As my first Lululemon purchase in months, I am definitely keeping these! I hope I will be able to find some surprising color combos in my closet to match them. It's always so fun when I discover unexpected color pairings!
I'm rather wary of wearing luxtreme stuff for lower body workouts as they can be quite sheer when squatting. These are ok for you?
ReplyDeleteI don't find my luxtreme bottoms to be too bad. Sure the material will stretch some when you are squatting, but it's not as if you can see my underwear. I literally only wear luxtreme bottoms for lower body days.
