Welcome, ladies &…. well, maybe like 3 gentlemen, to my bloggity. The past couple of years, Lululemon has released a Lunar New Year collection, and for reasons I can’t even fathom, I have neglected to talk about it specifically. So, let’s take a look at this year’s collection. Happy Chinese New Year!
Also, to my Chinese-speaking readers:
新年快乐！🎉🎆🎊
I like it, the features that make it unique is the Dark Red color, the, what appears to be gold, zipper, and the “Lululemon,” written on the side. It also comes in the color below called “Fool’s Gold.” I think this will go on sale eventually. They’ve released Dark Red Scuba’s in the past, so I don’t think this will sell out or anything. And honestly, I think the “Fool’s Gold” color is not pretty. I hate to say it! Not my thing. Maybe it looks cuter in person?
They also released Align pants labeled “Lunar New Year,” in Misty Mocha and Dark Red. I don’t see how the Misty Mocha ones are Lunar New Year related, personally. There are no additional details to these Aligns.
There are also three new Energy Bra *Long Line ‘s available under the Chinese Lunar New Year tag. This color, Ornemental Floral Multi, is super pretty, IMO. (Ornemental is spelled with the “e” on the website, but my spell check wants it to be Ornamental-lol). This one also comes in the Dark Red and Misty Mocha as well. They all seem to be the same as the regular Energy Bra *Long Line ‘s except in different colors. Personal opinion: I don’t like the Long Line ones because, honestly, they just don’t fit my body right. Because the space beneath my bust line goes out and and isn’t straight down, the longer band rides up on me.
Wunder Unders also got released and these Lunar New Year editions have Lululemon written down the side, much like these special edition Scuba hoodies. They come in Dark Red and Black. I like them- I do wonder if the text is staggered the way it looks here- not into that, but it could be a pixel thing? Let me know in the comments if you’ve seen these in person and they’re like that.
Then, there is this gorgeous Define Jacket in Black/ Black/ Gold. I’m in love, and have not picked it up yet, but am considering it. It’s practically guaranteed if it goes on sale! But, like, a real sale. Not like $9 off.
It’s shiny in person. I wish it came in the red, actually.
There is a Dark Red Swiftly Tech Short Sleeve Crew, which does not have any special features that indicate Special Edition, other than the color, I suppose.
This one also comes in a Racerback format.
Then we have the same print as the Define Jacket in the Speed Wunder Tights– these, I did pick up. They’re also in the Nulux fabric. They’re gorgeous and I love them and I am glad that I haven’t seen them in other colors because I would want them all.
They also have a Love Crew *Lunar New Year, in red and in Misty Mocha.
I like it, it looks super comfy. It is made of Pima Cotton though, so I imagine that it is.
This is the Emerald Long Sleeve Lunar New Year, and it comes in Garnet, Red and White. It also says Lululemon across the front.
They have a couple of Dark Red bags. Here is the All Your Small Things bag:
There’s also a “mini” version of this bag. The bags don’t really seem unique to me at all- I won’t be picking these up.
I like the coloring of this Purist Yogo Dot CNY water bottle:
They went all out with this Dark Red color! There’s even a Lunar New Year variety City Adventurer Backpack Mini 10L.
They also have a ton of other items in the “Lunar New Year” tab, that don’t appear to have any additional features apart from that they are Dark Red. Fast & Free Tights, Align crops, a Dark Red Define jacket, Love Tee V, Swiftly Relaxed Long Sleeve, and Pace Rival Crop. Let me know if y’all notice anything apart from the color that distinguishes these as special edition for the Lunar New Year!
Anyways, this is a lot of red. I like red, but I have some of the previous year’s collections and the Lululemon 20Y anniversary collection, which also features a Dark Red color. So, I won’t be getting much, if any of this apart from the pretty sparkly Black/ Gold print.
Let me know what you think about the Lunar New Year collection this time around!
