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).
As a tall person with a long torso, men’s shirts have been my go to for ages! Especially with the Team Canada line. I find the love shirts are too short on my torso, and the sleeves aren’t that long. The men’s line is a better fit length wise, and it’s a little looser, so it’s more comfortable to wear. Men’s shorts are hit or miss for me.
I wear a men’s down puffer as well. The women’s one barely hit my hips in the regular fit, but the men’s one covers my butt and the sleeves are long enough for me to cover my hands without gloves.
I buy men’s coats/jackets regularly, since a lot of stores don’t carry tall women’s sizes. I’m average height for a male where I am, so the most I have to size for is my hips. Shirts/stretchy pants I’m a medium, but for coats I’m usually a large.
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
Yes, Steady States for the oversized cozy look. They are softer than scubas.
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

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.

The men’s stuff is all longer too. Everything is so cropped in the women’s section…
Ya and I have a long torso and short legs and I like baggy tees w space for my armpits . I don’t need long sleeves I need longer shirts bcuz I don’t want to raise my hand up and expose my tummy lol
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!
Oh yes. I also appreciate the simplicity of S/M/L sizing
I am shameless in my love for oversized clothes though. Tight bottoms don’t bother me but if a shirt is pulling anywhere I lose my shit.
I shop the men’s pants for work pants and get so many compliments on them. People are shocked to find out they are men’s but the fit is more work appropriate.

Interesting conversation going on here. I think that for the most part, most of LLL stuff can be and should be simply labeled as unisex. Obvious exceptions would be articles like bras.
it’s also interesting that a lot of the commentary is about looser clothes, hence the draw towards the men’s line. For me, it’s the opposite (guy by the way). Besides the fact that I generally find the women’s line superior, I prefer the closer fitting articles for my yoga, Pilates, and running. Because of that, I’ve got a lot of and wear the women’s leggings and tanks (aligns). For the tops, it’s annoying when the men’s tops flow all over the place - especially with downward facing poses. The align tanks solved all of that for me.
Great read through all the comments!
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.
