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 !!!!!

I also think people are no longer justifying paying high prices if lower cost dupes or similar items feel just as good to wear.

I have a pair of lululemon sweatpants ($100) and aerie ($30) and alternate with little to no very noticeable quality difference even after years of use.

Very good point ! 15 years ago when I started shopping there, for female athletes, it actually was a great option, expensive but good quality. After a few years, even Costco was selling some very competitive alternatives

I'm not sure if Aerie is just crazy expensive here but they haven't had 30$ leggings in Canada like, a decade + or ever. Used maybe.

They’re currently $39 from $45 (not much of a deal, lol) But to be fair it was a Black Friday deal when I got them!
