I've reviewed quite a few leggings from Lululemon, so I will skip this section today. It is worthwhile to mention that Lululemon has made fitness instructor discount (Sweat Collective) available for online and in-store purchases including full priced and discounted items.

Lululemon Wunder Under High-Rise Tight Review

I know I've reviewed Lululemon Wunder Under High-Rise Tight Full-On Luxtreme 28" before, but I really want to share this Holiday Edition Luminosity Foil Print Black Silver today. This is my first time seeing Lululemon incorporating street fashion into the design. I would never guess this legging is from Lululemon. Before purchasing it, I have tried quite a few similar metallic finish leggings from various brands, but I wasn't satisfied either with their fit or performance. When I saw this one, I knew I had to get it because of the guaranteed fit and performance from Lululemon.

This legging is very popular that most sizes were sold out online within a day or two. Lucky enough, I was able to find it in the local store. Here comes this week's Closet Unfold, Lululemon Wunder Under High-Rise Tight Full-On Luxtremem 28" in Luminosity Foil Print Black Silver.

1. Size – It is true to size. I wear a size 4.

2. Style – Full length legging.

3. Inseam – 28" long. There is some extra fabric gathering around my ankles (I'm 5'2").

4. Front Rise – 10.75" high rise.

5. Waistband – 4.75" flat waistband.

6. Fabric – Full-On Luxtreme, 69% Nylon and 31% Lycra.

7. Design for – Heated and non-heated yoga as well as gym workouts.

8. Cost – Retail price is $98. As a member of Sweat Collective, I received 25% off.

9. Stitch Seam – Flatlocking seams.

10. Crotch Seam – Lined triangle gusset.

The legging is made in Vietnam.

Performance -
Although my favorite fabrics are Nulu and Nulux, Full-On Luxtreme is also on my top list. It is a higher compression fabric that suits better for high impact workouts than Nulu and Nulux. That said, it is four-way stretch and provides great freedom for yoga. The legging is breathable, moisture wicking and fast dry. It helps me to stay dry and cool in sweaty classes.

Quality -
Lululemon has been consistently delivering quality leggings these years. Flatlocking seams are used on this WU HR Tight in addition to the lined triangle gusset. The legging is 100% opaque. So far, I haven't seen pilling or color fading, but I only wore it three times. If anything changes, I will provide additional update.

Fit -
It is true to size and I wear my regular size, 4. The legging creates a flattering look and enhances body curvatures well. It shapes (legs) and lifts (butt) all the right places of the body. Since the fabric is higher compression than Nulu and Nulux, it gives a better booty lift. I wish one day Lululemon will considering making petite sizes for people at my height. I don't mind having some fabric bunching on my ankle, but I would prefer not to have any.

One thing I want to point out is that the metallic finish is slick, but it also makes the underwear lines more noticeable. Make sure you wear a seamless underwear to avoid VPL.

Comfort -
The fabric is soft and sleek with perfect amount of compression for workouts. The high-rise, flat waistband is comfortable and pinch-free. It provides excellent support and coverage for the mid section. It also stays put throughout my workout. The legging is so comfortable that I have no problem wearing it all day long, which I did the day after I got it.

I highly recommend Lululemon WU HR Tight in Luminosity Foil Print Black Silver. I appreciate Lululemon incorporating street style into the design without sacrificing the fit and performance for this legging. It covers all the needs for yoga and gym workouts. The fabric is sleek, breathable, sweat wicking and fast dry. The high-rise style offers great support and keeps everything tucked in. It is not only comfortable but also stylish that you can definitively wear it anywhere. The metallic finish of the legging can't be more perfect for the holiday season!
