PSA: cool skirted leggings at Lululemon: ETA find and pic attached

Anonymous

Lululemon has some new skirted leggings - I picked up a pair yesterday. Full length, black on black, and for the life of me , I cannot find them on their website, sorry.

They fit TTS, are really cute, and are definitely not for work, or for anything other than weekend, casual, going-for-groceries or sitting in the stands at a basketball game kind of look. I can't wait to wear mine with a big hi-low sweater and sneakers. They are also body-con, so not for the faint of heart in that regard. But hey, if you are working for that body, why not?

eta: they are sold to be worn with the skirt part pulled down for coverage, or rolled and folded up as an ultra high waist band for those who dance or do yoga in cropped bra tops.

What is the seaming like? (Like, does it have visible interlocked seams?) I am looking for leggings to wear with a big sweater and sneakers and don't want it to look too gear-like.

What sneakers are you thinking of, if you don't mind my asking?

Anonymous

The leg part has has the usual flat locked seams - in black thread. The skirt is the same. I have black leather sneakers, and some white leather Stan Smiths. I admit I am still attracted to the leather hi-top look and may go for a pair. I tried the Ash wedges last year but they were supremely uncomfortable . I'm looking at a black leather/white sole quilted leather bball style. Yes, I am a gangsta at heart.

Haha! Quilted leather looks like a fun detail.
I am NOT brave/cool enough for this look (yet)...I was thinking more along the lines of black Nikes
Thanks for the info.

They sound great! And it also sounds like you are feeling good about your body. Which is AWESOME. All that yoga and barre must be paying off. Good for you.

I love the look you've planned for those, Lisa! I'm new to skirted leggings but love their ease and am looking for ideas on how to wear mine. The quilted bball shoes sound great.

Thanks Lisa. I will check them out this week as I promised my DD lulu leggings for going back to school.

vivian - eh - it's always in flux; I've never been shy in workout tights as my legs and butt are just fine - it's my abs that aren't so fine. I never show them in leggings or tights anyways. I keep wavering on the sporty luxe trend and look going forward, but the true workout/yoga/gym stuff will be and has always been a part of my look and lifestyle.

Could not find them Angie - until just now. They look markedly different on the website as they do in real life. And will they quit showing skirted leggings with PUMPS in sales photos? Oh my god.

I like them, especially the cutout. If you fold the skirt down, does that mean you lose the high waist? (I am all about hide the muffin top, but I like the skirt look.)

I think they changed the picture for these. When I saw them a week or two ago the pictures clearly showed the skirt.....made me think of of the ladies here that like them.
I wear the Wunder Under Roll Down Crops for the gym and they're super comfy.

I'm not sure these would work for me (I'd prefer to keep the high waist ). But thanks Lisa for turning me back on to Lululemon! I'd had an online browse and saw a few cute things. I plan to check them out in store today at Yorkdale. We're off to buy my DD's back-to-school outfit (we're keeping it to ONE as she has a closet full of stuff!). She's starting grade 1!

In store, they were shown with the high waist thing (which I don't quite get) turned right down into a skirt. A short skirt though, but still a skirt. The web pic doesn't show it clearly at all, and makes it sound like it's just a waistband that can be rolled up or down. It's actually a good 14 inches or so of fabric, so it would be a pretty darn high waist if you rolled it up. There is a simple elastic 1.5 inch wide waistband under all of this that would show when wearing it as a skirted legging - and it would sit at your usual waist point. I don't think this is the answer for hiding or controlling muffin top .

Aha. Thanks for the explanation. It looked like a roll top waist, but it IS indeed a skirt when the waist is pulled down.
