Of all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2023 sales that’ll undoubtedly be flooding your inbox next week (if they’re not there already), the one to really jump on before the mad dash is Lululemon—a brand that fully transformed the way men dress, including yours truly.
For the longest, my daily uniform consisted of skinny black jeans, a fitted shirt, a pronounced belt, and a pair of boots. No matter the scenario or the trend du jour, I stuck with it. These pieces became my signature, and I had little desire to deviate from my norm. But all this changed in mid-2020. After months of being stationed in my apartment, enjoying my fill of banana bread and ample bottles of red, I adopted a new outlook: Clothes can be as comfortable as they are stylish.
I wasn’t alone in this mindset. When the world opened up again, the general public’s perception began to shift. Being well-dressed didn’t have to mean looking prim and proper; wearing elevated activewear or loungewear out and about became normal. I saw this firsthand at a dinner party, the kind that required some semblance of formality. Accordingly, I fell back on my uniform, and suffered in the process. I felt uneasy, as if I was about to burst—the result of all that banana bread. My seatmate, however, was cool as a cucumber. His ensemble was stylish, befitting the environment, but he also looked comfortable. I later found out he was wearing Lululemon.
Once the go-to label for Equinox members and moneyed yogis, Lululemon now doubles as acceptable daywear. I’ve seen the brand worn in airport lounges, at busy brunch spots, and at parties. The styles that Lululemon offers are sleek and elevated enough to work in a variety of scenarios. But they’re also immensely comfortable. It’s no wonder that the company doesn’t need to rely on flash sales. What it does offer is a discount section, called “We Made Too Much,” which is a goldmine of streamlined and stretchy trousers, polo shirts, button-downs, joggers, and shorts and more—all at marked-down prices.
If you’re like me and have experienced days when you just need to feel relaxed but still look presentable, Lululemon’s “We Made Too Much” section is a great resource. Just make sure to get your hands on these deals while they are available, because as with most good things, they won’t last long.
Lululemon’s celebrated City jogger fits and feels like a dream. And in bustling urban environments, we could all use some added comfort.
The beauty of this polo shirt, aside from its sleek cut, is that you could work out in it.
The brand’s best-selling ABC pants seldom go on sale. This is because they’re cut to flatter, engineered for movement, and built to last for many years.
The sharp button-down, made of four-way stretch fabric, is the epitome of versatility. It can be worn with a pair of trousers and sport coat from 9 to 5 or with a pair of jeans and white kicks during off-duty hours.
Comfort, class, and a whole lot of cool: These are characteristics that perfectly describe these sharp pants. Not only that, but they feature a drawstring, emphasizing the first “C” in the trifecta.
If you’re in the market for a topper to brave the wind, rain, or whatever Mother Nature throws your way, it truly doesn’t get more durable—and stylish—then this sleek jacket right here.
The name says it all: Engineered for warmth.
These joggers are so light and breezy that they feel like a second skin. As its name clearly suggests, they’ll definitely put your mind at ease.
We’re living in the era of the hoodie. And if you haven’t hopped on the bandwagon yet, here’s a great place to start.
Not only is this bomber streamlined, polished, and easy to move in, but it is also completely reversible. Which means you’re getting two jackets for the price of one.
You work hard, but these Utilitech Carpenter pants—made of four-way stretch fabric for optimal comfort and cut to flatter—work harder.
If you have refreshed your drawers in a while, now’s the right time, because the brand’s reliable pack of boxers are at its lowest price of the year.
When it comes to tops, there are few that can match the versatility of a half-zip sweater. Over a tie and paired with slacks, it’s a reliable piece for the office. And over a tee and with jeans, it’s primed for off-duty hours.
Easy to wear, easy to look at, and easy to match with anything in your wardrobe, the Evergreen is the perfect every-day jacket.
From working out to running errands, these ripstop shorts are built to keep you sweat-free no matter the activity.
