I'll save you the read:

1) People are tightening their belts due to economic and political uncertainty and expensive leggings are not at the top of the list of necessities

2) People are more and more... GASP... Buying second hand clothes !!!!!

Lulu hasn’t been innovative in a long time. They just release the same things in different colors. How many ppl need the same sweater or tights in multiple colors. Also the quality has gone way down and the price has gone up. They aren’t inclusive in sizes either and mostly only work on the skinny and small chested.

I like Lulu but I’ve only bought 2 things in the last 2 years. A belt bag and a sweatband.

The trouble with being "innovative" is that it's often shorthand for change for changes sake. How innovative do you need to be with yoga leggings? The anticonsumption take is that we favor items that are high quality and long-lasting, and that don't keep changing for no reason other than to drive new purchases of the latest fashion. But that's not necessarily good for the company's bottom line.

I mean innovative in terms of quality like sweat wicking and being good technical fabrics and fits for running, lifting weights, yoga and overall well made — not in terms of changing styles.
