Lululemon resumes selling ‘see by way of’ leggings — with special

Lululemon Athletica resumed selling its new line of “Get Low” leggings after yanking them over complaints that they have been overly “see through” — and gave clients special recommendation on how you can put on them.

“To experience this tight’s best performance during your workout, we recommend sizing up,” the leggings’ up to date product web page suggested on Thursday. “Pair with skin-tone, seamless underwear.”

That was just days after clients complained that the cloth turns into clear when stretched — making a probably embarrassing state of affairs at a yoga class.

“The leggings are absolutely see through when you squat or bend over,” a buyer posted on Reddit on Monday.

In a press release, a Lululemon spokesperson told The Post, “Last week, we temporarily paused online sales of our Get Low collection in North America to review early guest feedback and insights. Based on the learnings, we have updated our product education information to incorporate new guidance on fit, sizing, and features to better support guest purchase decisions.”

Lululemon’s founder and former CEO Chip Wilson ripped the yoga chain’s board over the fiasco — calling it “a new low” and blaming administrators’ “lack of experience”.

“Pulling back the “Get Low” product line after three days is clearly a complete operational failure,” Wilson wrote on LinkedIn on Wednesday.

Ironically, Wilson was a director of the company in 2013 when Lululemon recalled its Luon black yoga pants because they have been too sheer – a flop that price the company tens of thousands and thousands of {dollars} at the time.

Wilson insisted this week that the current board didn’t ask the proper questions.

“What product quality testing did the Board review? How often does the Board review the product pipeline? Are leaders empowered to make the best product decision or simply pushed to the lowest cost decision,” according to the LinkedIn put up.

Wilson, who’s the company’s second largest shareholder, launched a proxy battle in December calling for the ouster of board members and nominating three new administrators. Activist investor Elliott Investment Management is also pushing for change at the top, having not too long ago amassed a $1 billion stake in the Vancouver-based company. 

In December, the company’s chief govt of seven years, Calvin McDonald, announced his resignation amid declining revenues at the 28-year-old company.

“It is clear that persistent failures like this are born out of this Board’s lack of experience in creative businesses, disinterest in product development and quality, and focus on short-term, self-interested priorities,” according to Wilson’s assertion on Wednesday.

It’s the second time in 18 months that the company recalled a product. 

In 2024, Lululemon needed to pull its “Breezethrough” leggings from shops and its web site within weeks of the launch as clients complained about the match, materials and seams.

The company’s shares are up by practically 3% on Thursday to about $195.
