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).

    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.

    I have big titties and the men’s sweatshirts are my favorite. All the cropped shit doesn’t sit right on me, plus call me old but as an Elder Millennial I actually prefer to buy a whole shirt.

    I’m very petite all around and so I probably wouldn’t fit most men’s stuff but I LOVE the men’s alpaca crew neck I got on wmtm a couple months ago!

    The fit (in xs) is amazing, even better than a women’s oversized sweater on me for some reason (normally oversized sweaters are too bulky around my shoulders and upper arms).

    It caught my eye because one of their female models was wearing it on the site. I would definitely check out the men’s section again!

    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

    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.

    I’m sized out on a lot of women’s items unfortunately so it has crossed my mind…like a vest for example. I would love to own a LLL vest and I’m not a fan of the seasonal colors that came out in women’s size 20 (lilac and light aqua). I’m not sure how men’s sizes would work with my wide hips though (48.5") so that’s the only reason I haven’t tried anything yet. That and, I don’t have a store nearby to try, so I’d have to order/return which I hate doing.

    I did order a men’s size XL vest in another brand, because they didn’t have a plus size option in women’s styles and it does fit albeit, it does become a little tighter than I’d like at the hips when zipped.

    Curious to hear what others have to say and their experiences in wearing mens LL!

    one of my favourite pairs of lulu joggers are the men’s City Sweats, they just seem to fit better than some of the women’s more form fitting joggers (I’m thinking of ready to rulu). not super baggy but not skin tight :)

      ya if I want a jogger, I don’t want it to be form fitting a lot. I had the ready to rulu and they were okay, but imo nothing special, I have small legs too so I have to get everything in a cropped version too. I was looking at the adapted state joggers too but they also look to be a little tighter

    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!

    Holy hell I’m so glad someone posted this! I was just thinking last night about ordering from the men’s. I’m short and have a short torso, but everything is just so cropped and I don’t like it on me for some reason.

    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.

    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.
