lululemon for Men

When it comes to spending, Liz would say I’m frugal (borderline cheap). She has heard the tired line “I could’ve made this at home for a fraction of the price” a few too many times during date nights out… Suffice to say, I’m choosy when it comes to spending, and I often discern purchases for several months before making a decision.

It’s important to preface this guide with that disclaimer, as it adds context to the fact that I’m about to encourage you to spend over $100 on a pair of pants. I don’t blame you for calling it ridiculous, but read on to either continue judging me or possibly be swayed to seeing it my way.

I have a framework for how I make clothing purchases (I’m telling you, there is a lot of discernment before I spend). Here are the 3 primary reasons I buy lululemon – these hold true for every item I mention below:

1. Comfort – This comes first and foremost above any other factor for me. I won’t buy or wear something if it isn’t comfy asf.
2. Longevity – I own items from lululemon that have lasted me 7+ years, and I wear them multiple times a week.
3. Function – Most of these clothes serve more than one purpose; lounging, workouts, date nights, happy hour, office wear, etc. I look for things that can be worn many ways for many occasions

Everyday Wears

Surge Joggers

I have three pairs of these, some for as long as 3 years. They hold up great for weightlifting, running, and everyday wear. True story: My brother once spilled bleach on his pair and there were no stains… These are magic pants.

Fundamental T

This is the perfect basic T. Plain and simple.

Commission Shorts

Like the Fundamental T, these shorts are a great daily go-to during the hot summer months when you still want to look your best. A perfect hybrid from out on the town to out on the golf course.

Bowline Short Stretch Ripstop

These are relatively new to me, but they have quickly become a favorite. The material feels very durable, but there is enough stretch for lots of movement. I have worked out in these, worn them for date night, and they are comfortable enough for a Netflix binge session.

Commission Short Sleeve T-Shirt

This shirt has the benefit of comfort like a basic T, but the look is a bit more styled and structured.

Workout Essentials

Surge Shorts

The best shorts for strenuous workouts. No, they don’t have traditional pockets, but I don’t want my phone, wallet, and keys flopping around in my pockets while I’m working out anyways. If you are running, moving, lifting, squatting, jumping, etc., these shorts will keep up.

Fast and Free Tank

Great for running, fast or or otherwise.

License to Train Joggers

I hit my deadlift PR in these pants. I’m not saying it was the pants… I’m also not saying it wasn’t…

Always Agile Tank Top

Last I checked, this tank was on sale – worth grabbing one while you still can!

Balancer Short

Probably the most comfortable material I’ve found in a pair of shorts. The thickness of a pair of sweatpants combined with the lightweight feel of true gym shorts.

Date Night / Casual Fridays

Commission Slim-Fit Pants

My favorite pants right now. There is also a version of these pants with more breathable “Ventlight” fabric. I have a pair of both, so you can check out the Ventlight pair here

Commission Long Sleeve Shirt

A great shirt to tuck in at the office, or more casual when left unbuttoned as a top layer.

Airing Easy Short Sleeve Shirt

Like the commission Ventlight pants, the material on this shirt is similar which makes it very breathable and great for warm days when you still want to keep it professional

Textured Knit Crewneck Sweater

For the fall weather, this sweater will be my go-to. It’s super comfortable and great for either layering or wearing on it’s own. I recommend sizing down for a more fitted look, as it tends to run slightly oversized.

ABC Slim-Fit Pant Warpstream

Similar to the commission slim-fit pants, but with a more jean-like front pocket.
