I just bought the down for it all men’s jacket in Size M yesterday for myself and i did try on the women’s one but it really was tight around my stomach area and chest and I like a loose fit to put a shirt on underneath but I can’t help but like feel like I just don’t look like the models wearing the women’s down for it all jacket and so I went for the men’s and It’s comfier, has a double zipper! I started looking at the men’s clothes and some of the stuff looks comfier so does anyone else by stuff from the men’s? Like I hate a tight fitting shirt around my chest / armpits (love a loose baggy tee) but all the women’s ones seem to be tighter (minus all yours tee, I know that).
one of my favourite pairs of lulu joggers are the men’s City Sweats, they just seem to fit better than some of the women’s more form fitting joggers (I’m thinking of ready to rulu). not super baggy but not skin tight :)
Long torso 5’9 athletic / slim lady here. With the recent trend of young young children (I saw a 9 year old - talking about 4th grade having her mom help her with buying 2’s in align leggings), I just hate the fit of the women’s clothing these days.
A coworker told me that her 75 lb child wanted only Lulu for her birthday. 😡
I’ve moved over to the men’s section for jackets, joggers, and now contemplating shorts.
I don’t like color (neutrals girlie or jewel tones only) so I love the men’s section. Men’s S generally works for me - size women’s 6 - 8 for loose fitting bottoms - former 4 in tops but they’re too short now due to the cropping and catering to actual children.
Anyone able to give me deets on the fit of various men’s shorts? Small waist thicker hip /booty so unclear how it will work for me
I can’t make men’s stuff work. Tops end up too tight around my butt, and arms are too long. Pants have way too much excess space in the crotch. I guess it really depends on your individual body shape. I’m 5’2 and pear shaped, so it makes sense that things wouldn’t fit me well.
The men’s stuff is all longer too. Everything is so cropped in the women’s section…
I can only buy the men’s shorts! I find all of the ladies shorts to be unflattering on me, in my opinion. The Pace Breaker 5” are my absolute favourites!

100% i just did this for the rain jacket. The level of form fitting for the coats don’t make a lot of sense to me, I like to layer under my coats. Even sizing up with the women’s sizing looks weird I think… because it’s supposed to be form fitting, then they just look too big!

I tried sizing up to fit the women’s down for it all coat and when I got the chest and shoulder part big enough, I was swimming in the sleeve length! I used to have a rain jacket but I was skinny skinny but I’ve gained weight and I like loose fitting tees around my armpits so I can layer too! I showed my friend and he said “wtf is up w the hourglass torso” and I’m like I have no idea and I like the look of it but it just wasn’t as comfy as the men’s one

omg, I know! I bought that exact coat last year and it “fits” but I can’t wear more than a simple top underneath, maybe a light sweater. Which is fine, but definitely not an option for when it’s cold enough to want to layer. I’d hoped for something that would fit like my husbands icebreaker. Next time I’ll go with a different brand.

I just feel like there are other coat brands that I know have a bit of a looser fit and basically be more in line to what I want. I was lucky and had a gift card and my mom paid for the remainder so it was like 23$? Cuz it was on sale. Otherwise I’d normally get my coat someplace else but I’m poor lol
yes and it’s also higher quality

As a fat person, having access to men’s clothing is very nice. Unfortunately not all of us have a snatched waist and the women’s cuts tend to have narrower waists. I got a men’s cross chill jacket because it didn’t suffocate me in the middle, the women’s one did
I super wish I could! The guys get way better shorts options! They have been sold out forever of 8" inseam shorts for women in Canada with pockets and 6" are chafe city for this swole sister.
Yea there’s smth I’m eyeing on and I’m like pls restock so I can get it haha

I started shopping men’s about a year ago. The arms of the short sleeve tees are longer and fit better. Things are longer and more forgiving when I just want to move freely. I love the women’s lines but I don’t always want clingy, skin tight, cropped clothes. I’ve got drysense and metal vent tees and hoodies for running. The surge half zips are awesome for colder weather run and less form fitting than it’s rulu run tops. City sweat hoodies are more roomy and cozy. I stopped shopping the website by filtering women’s and men’s and now shop by color, fabric, and sport. Even the men’s blazer fits me better. I wear a 10 or 12 in women’s and mostly medium sometimes large in men’s.
What’s mine is mine and what’s my husband’s is also mine. 🙃
But for real, yes. I’m an oversized shirt (men’s metalvent) and biker shorts (align 6 in) kinda gal. I love looser fitting clothing so men’s is where it’s at. The drysence (?) Hoodie is a fav and even pace breaker 5 ins are super comfy lounge wear.
A while back a guy friend actually recommended I try the men’s joggers as I felt the women’s would be too form fitting and I’ve been reaching for men’s items since. Especially with every women’s item being so cropped right now. I love the men’s metal vent tech short and long sleeve, metal vent tech half zip, and surge warm half zip. I want to check out some of their shorts. Some women have posted try ons in this sub and they look fab!
