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 !!!!!

Just peeked on the website, they want 128 bucks for a pair of jogger pants. 128 for a windbreaker. 68 for a t shirt. Jesus

I remember when $50 for a t shirt was such a ridiculous price that it got called out in the Thrift Shop song…now it’s 40% higher….

I'm sure they aren't even quality shirts either. Like that price is ridiculous for a new name brand shirt, its even more ridiculous for Lululemon.

It's akin to a designer or luxury brand. They buy it for clout. I have a sprts bra for lulu lemon that I got for free (a friend worked at the gym I went to and someone left it and they clear out the lost and found once a year so she gave it to me). It's fine, on par with anything I've found at Walmart of the thrift store tbh

Shopping is THE main hobby for millions of Americans, I think. That and posting the stuff you bought

Damn, here I am rocking a pair of flared leggings I got at Walmart for $6 ten years ago, a rare new purchase. That is CRAZY. People are suffering from overwealth and we have a moral obligation to help them
