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).

    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

      Ya I mean I was a spoiled kid so. I did get to wear like lulu when I was younger but for volleyball. But since then I’ve gone through a lot w grad school & my dad has cancer so I’m taking care of my parents, ive gained weight. So I’m not the same size anymore and I’m not that confident so I want like a looser tee for my chest / stomach area. I’ve heard a lot of ppl like the men’s shorts but I can’t say much cuz I like the lulu bottoms but I was looking at their running tees and they look way more comfy

        Nothing to do with spoilt. I’m an equestrian who had 5 figure saddles as a child and spent the equivalent of a mortgage on horses annually.

        It’s more about the sizing and the construction of the product.

        75 lbs is very small think like under junior high sports. Think early / mid primary school. They’re barely making contact with the volleyball at that age unless they’re elite lol.

        Back in the early 2000s think like 2005 - the smallest size would’ve been likely too big for you at the ages I see wearing lulu now

        EDIT- also sorry for your cancer experiences with a parent. My father passed in 2019 - not cancer but traumatic.
