About Lululemon’s jeans: Athleisure brand entering denim. The City Trek line uses technical stretch fabrics with athletic cuts — closer to performancewear than traditional denim.
Is the price honest?
Reasonable at $138 if you specifically want performance fabric in a jean shape — reviewers value the comfort and travel-friendliness. Poor value if you actually wanted denim, since it doesn't feel or wear like it.
Our take
Lululemon's City Trek is performancewear wearing a denim silhouette — and owners who understand that going in are the satisfied ones. The technical stretch fabric is comfortable, travels exceptionally well, and holds its shape through long days. Reviewers consistently say the catch is that it never quite reads as denim: the hand, the sheen and the drape are closer to a technical five-pocket pant than to jeans, so anyone wanting denim character is disappointed. As athletic-leaning gear it's well made; as 'jeans' it's a stylistic compromise you either want or don't.
What shoppers say about Lululemon jeans
some reviews · across the web
Lululemon's move into five-pocket denim draws on its reputation for technical, travel-friendly bottoms, and wearers tend to praise the stretch comfort and clean, slightly dressy silhouette. The fabric is more refined and four-way-stretch than traditional rigid denim, which appeals to people who want jeans that move. The trade-off is a premium price for what is functionally an everyday pant, and the men's denim line is still newer with thinner review coverage than the brand's core leggings and pants.
