6 Alternatives to Lululemon

lolw

I am doing a 40 day yoga challenge this month.

I realized on day 5, that my one (and only) pair of yoga pants wouldn’t cut it for six-weeks straight. ย So I went looking for a pair of yoga pants for the first time in a very long while. ย I own exactly two pieces of Lululemon – a hoodie (circa 1999) and an infinity scarf. I have never been a big Lululemon fan. I’m not sure if it’s because I don’t much like being the same as everyone else all the time, or if it’s because I have never been super into yoga, so I didn’t know why I should be wearing yoga-gear ALLTHETIME. Since the recent thigh-gap and see-through fabric scandal with Lululemon, I’ve decided I would rather support pretty much any other company than Lululemon when purchasing my limited yoga attire needs. ย So here are five other companies you should look to feed your ongoing need to wear yoga gear ALLTHETIME:

Keylime Clothing

An Edmonton company, Keylime Athletics, founded by a wonderfuly mom-entrepreneur who I know and admire. Her clothing is Canadian made and provides yoga gear in style.

Spiritual Gangster

A company with a cool slogan and even cooler college-feel sweat suits and yoga inspired tanks and jewellery.

Lole – Live Out Loud Everyday

This Canadian brand offers a stylish selection at a reasonable price point. Lole’s founder:ย โ€œWe really want women to feel good inside and out.โ€ Stores in Eastern Canada, France and growing.

Michi

Another cute Canadian brand, albeit out of my price range. ย ($189 for a pair of workout pants.)

Zella Clothing

This one is only available at Nordstrom (as far as I can tell), but it’s amazingly cute. I absolutely love patterned excercise clothing (because I’m not wearing it out of the house unless it’s to work out) and hate boring black. ย These come in fantastic prints and patterns, and plus size too (!).

Karma

Another Canadian brand is ย Karmaย  – it’s CUTE and reasonably priced. Made in Vancouver and sold in stores & studios in Canada and Nordstrom and Pure Barre studios in the US.
