Okay so Addison Rae posted some Lululemon hauls a while back and honestly? Her outfits looked fire. As someone who lives in athleisure, I had to try recreating a few looks myself. Grabbed my wallet and hit the store – mission activated.
The Hunting Phase
First stop was browsing online to see what pieces she wore most. Zoomed in on her Insta pics like some fashion detective. Noticed she loves matching sets and those cropped Define jackets. Made a mental checklist: Align leggings, oversized scubas, soft tank tops. Crossed my fingers my local store actually had stuff in stock.
Trying-On Circus Act
Okay reality check time. Rushed to Lulu after work and the fitting room turned into a wrestling match. Tried the Align leggings first – felt like butter, no lie. But sizing? Wild. My usual size 6 fit like sausage casing while the size 8 bagged at the knees. Grabbed two sizes of everything like a maniac.
The cropped Define jacket got me sweating. Zipped it up over a Flow Y bra and immediately panicked. Showed every single bump from my lunch burrito. Looked in the mirror like:
- Size 4: Couldn’t fully zip without fabric straining
- Size 6: Fit shoulders perfect but loose at waist
- Size 8: Comfy but looked like I borrowed dad’s blazer
The Outfit Experiments
Finally settled on the oversized scuba hoodie in black (size M) plus Aligns in dark green (size 8). Threw on a white align tank underneath – instant Addison vibes. Did the mandatory mirror photoshoot:
- Casual coffee run fit: Scuba + Aligns + platform Uggs. 10/10 cozy.
- Pickleball attempt: Swiftly tech tee + Track That shorts. Sweat wicking actually worked when I missed shots.
- Fake gym selfie: Define jacket + Align shorts. Unzipped immediately after pic.
Straight Talk Verdict
After wearing this stuff for two weeks straight – here’s the real tea. Aligns? Heaven. But pet hair magnet and pills if you breathe wrong. That pricey Define jacket? Worth it only if you wear it constantly. Nearly returned it but caught my reflection in a car window looking snatched and changed my mind.
Biggest surprise? The $58 Flow Y bra. Thought it was basic but wore it hiking and no uni-boob situation. Didn’t even notice it – which is the best compliment for a bra.
Final thoughts? Addison’s picks work if you like that effortless-cool look. Just prepare for fitting room trauma and wallet pain. Still debating whether I need that $128 scuba in three colors… but let’s be real, I probably will.
