Copenhagen’s It-girl–worn label Ganni is tired of Scandi-minimalist design codes. Otherwise, it’s completely energized — and obsessed with movement, as shown in the contemporary fashion house’s newest collaboration with activewear giant Lululemon.
Launching October 15, the capsule (which has already received its fair share of hype on social media) is a happy marriage between Lululemon’s technical, performance-focused excellence and Ganni’s playful, quirky, expressive, and pattern-rich sartorial ethos.
Considering the fact that the athletic apparel destination’s cult-favorite leggings, sports bras, puffers, and golf polos are almost exclusively swathed in single colors — with the occasional, vintage-inspired color-blocking popping up here and there — Ganni x Lululemon’s liberal use of leopard print, ruffles, and sumptuous textures has succesfully captured the internet’s attention. And when that happens, inventory typically runs out within hours.
That’s why our shopping team at WWD is going to be pointing out the styles to shop and the pieces to skip below, allowing you to rush to lululemon.com, add all your most coveted releases to cart, and waste no time in leisurely perusing the fresh collaboration’s landing page.
Ultimately, this collection is all about joy, so we hope you feel the emotion thoroughly while making — and receiving — your personality-laden purchases.
What to Shop From Ganni x Lululemon
BEST FALL LAYER FOR THE GYM
Ganni x Lululemon Define Ruffle-Trim Jacket
$180
Lululemon’s quintessential Define Jacket is getting the animal-spots treatment here with leopard patterning overtop the satiny, shiny fabric that’s traditional to the style. It’s stretchy (thanks, Lycra), whisks away sweat, and will let you move around freely — however it is you like to stay active — while putting on a head-turning show. Couldn’t snag the pictured iteration in time? The Espresso/Cherry Blossom Pink option is showing better stock as we speak.
TIMELESS LEGGINGS CHOICE
Ganni x Lululemon Ruffle-Trim Mid-Rise Tight 28″
$170
Speaking of this color combo, we recommend investing in it when it comes to Ganni x Lululemon’s 28-inch Ruffle-Trim Mid-Rise Tight, too. The thing is, leopard’s prevalence in the fashion realm might wax and wane as trends shift, but a coffee-inspired brown will never lose its cool, especially during cold-weather months. Look closer and you’ll discover “hints of ruffle trim” here, per the product description.
COZIEST OPTION
Ganni x Lululemon Brushed Softstreme Slouchy Pullover
$220
If you’re Team Baggy, not Team Tight, you’ll find a lot to appreciate in this oh-so-’80s pullover which is deemed “peach-fuzz soft” and boasts a bubble hem that’s been trending for the past few seasons. Ganni’s stylized logo at center seals the deal on this being a “must-shop” pick.
UNEXPECTED MATERIAL
Ganni x Lululemon Jacquard Mesh Half-Sleeve Bodysuit
$140
Keep the Espresso theme going with Ganni x Lululemon’s scoop neck–equipped, jacquard mesh bodysuit. Parting with the opaque bodysuit materials of yore, it lets some light pass through while being just the thing for putting over all the Lululemon workout bras in your rotation.
What to Skip From Ganni x Lululemon
Found that the leopard-print leggings, merino wool bolero, ruffled headbands pack, and leg warmers that you were eyeing are no longer available online? Save the tears. A restock is very likely, and, if it doesn’t end up happening, we found similar hair accessories at Urban Outfitters (albeit wider), leg warmers that are just as soft and luxurious at Bombas, flattering shrugs at Athleta, and dark leopard-print leggings not associated with Ganni right at Lululemon (they cost less than the collab’s take and offer more visual drama, in our opinion).
