10 Can't-Miss Deals from Lululemon's 'We Made Too Much' Section

A few weeks ago, I was in Los Angeles at one of those dinner parties with assigned seating. You know, the ones where you have to put effort into making conversation. The ones where you have to dress up a little bit. The ones where you have to be on. Admittedly, I was off my game that evening. Not only was I suffering from severe jet lag, having landed at LAX from JFK that afternoon, I also didn’t pack accordingly. My go-to pants, a pair of midnight black jeans, were uncomfortably snug and so was my gray cotton shirt—the result of not sticking to a regular gym routine and stuffing my face with way too many Crunchwrap Supremes the week prior. I stayed quiet most of the time to hide my discomfort, and refrained from eating too much in fear that a button might burst.

The fella seated next to me, however, was a social butterfly. He, too, arrived from New York on the same flight. But he evidently was the better packer. At the dinner, this guy, roughly the same build as me but taller, wore a pair of slim-fit brown trousers with a blue button-down. He looked at ease, seated at his chair, pouring himself ample glasses of red while discussing NFL teams. I found out that he was a sports writer. I also found out that he was wearing Lululemon, the activewear brand beloved by yogis and card-carrying members of Equinox. While I was sausaged in stuff with no stretch whatsoever, this man was essentially wearing workout clothes.

That’s the beauty of Lululmeon: the brand’s wares are so sleek and so elevated that they could work for dinner parties. They are also the kinds of things that you can toss into a suitcase and not worry about wrinkles. More importantly, they are super comfortable. And right now, many quality goods are stocked in the brand’s sale section, called “We Made Too Much.”

So, don’t be like me and wallow in misery. Be like that sports writer and get your hands on some great travel-ready trousers, shirts, tees, and more for up to 47 percent off. I promise that any of these pieces will save you from undue aggravation at any function, formal or otherwise.
