No matter your style or fit preference, Lululemon has designed high-quality pieces, including bras, tops, shorts, tights, and hats to help you train harder. And of course, its new yoga mat is sure to help you recover better.
Here are a few pieces that we’re most excited about as Lululemon continues to make waves in the running space.
Swift Speed Bra
Keep everything in place no matter your chest size with the Swift Speed Bra, available in A through E cups. Its breathable fabric offers a barely there feel so you can run and train hard. The Swift Speed Bra offers lightweight built-in cups to soften the bounce plus a hook-and-eye closure for added support.
Swiftly Breathe Muscle Tank
Stay cool and breezy with the Swiftly Breathe Muscle Tank, designed to reduce chafing and promote breathability for any workout. Plus, the neutral color options and relaxed fit make this a favorite for on the road (or trail) and for the post-run coffee run.
Fast and Free Tight II
Designed specifically for running, the Fast and Free Tight is lightweight and passes the “squat test.” (So no embarrassing see-through moments!) The high-rise cut offers added support and comfort over the miles. Running long? The waistband has five pockets for midrun fuel or credit cards, and the legs provide two side drop-in pockets for your phone—no bounce.
