Top is CRZ Yoga in Elfin Purple Bottom is Lululemon in Lavendar Frost
I was curious to try CRZ Yoga since it’s heavily compared to Lululemon. I bought a pair of their " Butterluxe High Waisted Lounge Legging 25" in Elfin Purple. Here are my thoughts;
They are not even slightly close in color. The Elfin Purple has more pink undertones. I just wanted to see if the colors would be similar. Lululemon definitely has a wider selection of colors with different styles to match.
The material is very different and the Lululemon aligns are slightly softer. The CRZ Yoga also feels a tiny bit thicker (I used a NON double lined align for comparison). For those who are curious, Nylon is a specific type of polyamide. While the distribhtion between the types of fabric % is the same between both. Lululemon uses Nylon while it’s unclear what type of polyamide CRZ yoga uses. While it’s important to note that all nylon is polyamide, not all polyamide is nylon. So that could be why there’s a difference in “feel” between the two. Some might not notice the difference but for someone who frequently wears Lululemon in lagree classes, they don’t feel the same in terms of “breathability”.
Also an important note for petite girlie’s such as myself, the length isn’t the same. I am 5’3" and the 25" inseam for lulu aligns fits me perfectly. The CRZ yoga 25" bunches up at my ankles or knees. You can see the difference in length in my last photo. The bottom is my cerulean blue aligns in 25" and top is the CRZ yoga. This is what bothers me most because it doesn’t look right on me due to the length.
While there is a noticeable price difference ($98 vs $32), if these are things that are important for you and you can afford it, I’d go with Lululemon. Also you can buy during WMTM for $69 instead.
