Gift for 18yo, Lululemon or sweaty betty?

[artquejtion]

looking for yoga pants in a small/medium for my daughter, which would be the better choice of the two?

Either brand would be appealing to an 18year old. There's lots of choice though.
LL has got a bit boring so lots of functional pants in black but very much an in demand brand due to being US based.
SB is a bit more funky in terms of colours etc. they have a Halle Berry edit and lots of great sustainable styles made from recycled bottles. If she's into that that would be a winner.
I'd look at their offerings and see what she's likely to like in terms of colours but I'd probably go SB for British sustainability and funky interesting styles.

These are gorgeous. Apologies for NZ pricing.

Lululemon leggings are very good quality and they do have a UK website, plus there are very cute colours 🙌🏼
Never heard of Sweaty Betty (🙈🙈) but looking at their website, leggings seem to be a lot more expensive than Lululemon. They seem to have more patterns though

Regardless of that, if I were you I would get her some Lululemon leggings 😚

Sweaty Betty is more well known/trendy with younger people.

That probably explains why I’ve never heard of it 😂😂😂 my girl loves a bit of Lulu x

Lululemon deffo

I think Gym Shark is most popular with younger?

SB has 30% off some stuff at the moment too. The leggings are great

Dd21 prefers Gymshark - they're a lot cheaper so student friendly. DD normally buys a load of stuff during their black Friday sale.

Another vote for Gymshark. I wear SBs and I'm 47 and can't see DD stealing my style anytime soon.

Yoga pants or leggings?

As if yoga pants, get her a pair or Gary's from Sweaty Betty, they're amazing.

Thank you everyone, ordered from Sweaty Betty, has a huge choice compared to Lululemon !

I wouldnt touch LL with a barge pole, its an mlm.

I’d say the opposite! Sweaty Betty I like, lululemon my kids like!

I think you are confusing it with Lula Roe. Lululemon is a regular retail company. In America there is one in every shopping mall.

Neither!
For her age I’d get something from girlfriend collective or the Upside .

Second girlfriend collective

I had never heard of Gymshark, Girlfriend Collective or Upside.

Thank you, for next time.

Love the Upside but out of SB and LL, definitely LL.

For her age - Nike / Gym Shark. Maybe Adidas

It's too late for the OP but for anyone else looking Victorias Secret do great leggings. I am a pensioner so way outside their usual demographic but I love them. Cheaper than SB or Lululemon and more choice of prints/colours. Properly squat proof for yoga too.

No. You're thinking of the now defunct LuLaRoe. Hideous leggings and frocks that ripped at the merest glance of a fingermankini. Totally trying to capitalise on the LuLuLemon name

Lululemon is not an MLM and is only sold via their own online websites or retail shops.

Fingermankini?! Fingernail.

Lulu all the way.

Gym Shark or Do You Even are popular here.
Aren't SB and LLM both for much older women?!?
