Lululemon’s Gift Shop Is Here: Every Style For Lounge- & Fitness-Lovers

This holiday season, we’ve found the gifts that feel great to get and even better to give. Shop our collection of editor-approved holiday gift guides here.

When it comes to coveted pieces for the workout- and comfort-obsessed, Lululemon is the ultimate one-stop shop. From the brand’s signature ultra-soft leggings designed for Pilates and lounging to an array of jackets for every outdoor activity, it’s no surprise that the retailer is a reader favorite year-round — and a go-to destination for all things holiday gifting. 

Lululemon’s gift guide is open for business, meaning you can start your holiday shopping early. Your besties will love the convenient (and very viral!) belt bags and iconic half-zips, while a cozy beanie and running sneakers might be the right fit for a boyfriend, dad, or brother. Either way, Lululemon has gifts for nearly everyone on your list, and for every budget.

While you’re at it, why not treat yourself to something cozy and functional this winter, too? Check out the brand’s thermal leggings, puffer vests, wool slippers, and tons of more new arrivals to brave the cold months ahead.

Best Lululemon Bag Gifts

Lululemon’s bags cover every activity and occasion, making them perfect for gifting. Think: the small-but-mighty belt bag and dual pouch wristlet for dog walks and concerts, as well as spacious backpacks and slouchy sling bags for the gym and traveling.  Elevated quilted and convertible designs, meanwhile, are a great fit for the giftee who refuses to compromise style for function.

With fan favorites like soft Align (in new seamless designs) and squat-approved Wunder Train (in dazzling new colors), there’s a perfect pick for everyone on your list. Plus, styles in capri lengths, thermal fabrications, and five-pocket designs check off every kind of functional need.

Best Lululemon Clothing Gifts

For the Lululemon newbies out there, yes, the brand offers far more than activewear. If you’re in the market for cozy loungewear, viral matching sets, and everyday styles for running errands, you’re in the right place. Lululemon’s bodysuits and trousers are especially sleeper hits (I’m personally obsessed with the Daydrift pants). You can also shop thoughtfully-designed long-sleeve tops, flouncy lounge pants, and knit midi dresses for the Lululemon fan who already owns every pair of leggings.

Wunder Puff gloves and cinchable boots are great stocking-stuffers for sporty gift recipients.

Best Lululemon Gifts For Men

Don’t forget the fellas! Top-rated joggers and boxer packs make for the ultimate off-duty staples, while plaid button-downs and puffer jackets are winter-adventure-ready.

Mia Goth Explains Hidden Details In Frankenstein Costumes: “That Was Deliberate”

The newest adaptation of Mary Shelley’s timeless novel Frankenstein has captivated audiences, with director Guillermo del Toro’s film being praised for being mostly faithful to the source material. Starring Australia’s own Jacob Elordi as The Creature and Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, somehow it’s Mia Goth, as Elizabeth Lavenza, who steals the show — adorned by Tiffany & Co. jewels and 19th Century gowns. Her extensive wardrobe for Frankenstein came from the mind of Emmy Award-nominated costume designer Kate Hawley, who has worked on projects such as The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Crimson Peak. Goth’s character Elizabeth has an interest in entomology and botany, so Hawley included nods to beetles and other insects through patterns and garment shapes. Along with wasp-waisted tight corsets, certain fabrics were also chosen to mimic paper-thin beetle wings.

“With the green dress… that design was inspired by butterflies, and the patterns on butterfly wings,” Goth tells Refinery29 Australia. “[This] was something that Guillermo and Kate were exploring a lot with Elizabeth and [with] all of the costumes, everything was thought through.” To create unique insect-like patterns, Hawley studied both cellular structures and the anatomy of beetles. “It’s all about echoing those insect and beetle-like qualities, just fitted to the period,” Hawley says in the production notes.

Jewellery was also key to defining Goth’s character, with her blue outfit featuring a Tiffany & Co. signature piece from the early 1900s. The Louis Comfort Tiffany necklace is made up of blue glass beetle motifs in a gold setting. “We wanted to pull pieces that were from the age of Mary Shelley so that you could study the choices our designers were making at that time,” Christopher Young, Vice President and Creative Director of Tiffany Patrimony and Global Creative Visual Merchandising, said in a press video. The result is what jewellers describe as blurring the line “between jewellery and art”.

One of Elizabeth’s most striking dresses is her final look, a white dress where white satin ribbons wrap around her arms. Made to resemble surgical bandages, it pays homage to both Elizabeth’s fate and The Creature’s origin. “That was deliberate,” Goth says. “That was there to mimic The Creature and his band aids that he has when he’s first born.” This white dress also features multiple layers of fabric that capture the light in an interesting way, a design element thought through by both the costume designer and director. “Guillermo wanted Elizabeth to be very ethereal, and there’s an iridescence and ephemeral nature to some of those colours and fabrics that helped us [portray this],” Hawley notes.

There’s also a religious nod in many of Elizabeth’s outfits, particularly seen through the use of bonnets. “Religious language is a big part of Elizabeth’s character, and that bonnet is like a halo,” Hawley explains. “Mia has such an amazing, mercurial face — one of the first fittings we had, we put that bonnet on her, and we put the yellow veil over her, and she just became this other creature.” While Goth jokingly tells R29 she couldn’t breathe in her restrictive wardrobe, stepping into the period pieces helped frame her performance as Elizabeth. “That was helpful, because that’s exactly how a woman in the Victorian world would feel, and it formed how I moved and how I sat,” Goth says. “I felt once I started to see where the costumes were headed, I found my character, Elizabeth, kind of from the outside in this time around.

“So, [by] seeing what they were doing with her on the outside, I was then able to kind of figure out what was going on in the inside.”

Frankenstein is streaming on on Netflix now.

In Materialists, The Story Unfolds Through Fashion

Channel ‘90s Rom-Com Icon Meg Ryan In Madewell x Alexa Chung’s New Collab

Yet another cool-girl fashion collaboration has entered the chat. This time, model Alexa Chung is celebrating her long-standing relationship with Madewell — 15 years after their first collaboration — with a vintage-inspired holiday collection that pays homage to the East Village and East London.

“We’ve been on a journey together, me and Madewell,” Chung tells Refinery29. “I’ve always made an effort to make things super personal, but this is definitely the most personal collection that we’ve collaborated on. It’s very vintage inspired and it’s also quite musically led, so it’s really specific to my tastes. I am thrilled with it.”

From tried-and-true winter styles like oversized sweaters, crochet scarves, lacy slip dresses, and herringbone dress coats, to more unexpected styles like football jerseys, white jeans, and “We’re Witches Bitches” graphic tees, the collaboration perfectly reflects Chung’s “eclectic, specific, and cool” aesthetic.

The nostalgic and romantic 31-piece collection also spans distressed Madewell jeans and leather skirts and jackets, as well as giftable accessories like crew socks, hooded scarves, and floral brooches. Chung specifically recommends gifting one of the statement belts for the holidays. “I love this belt because it can cinch your waist over a dress, slung low with baggy jeans, or wear it over loads of coats. I love the idea of jewelry over outerwear, so I’d probably get someone one of the belts.”

And in terms of her winter wardrobe staple, Chung highlights the collection’s peacoat. “The navy blue coat is my non-negotiable winter coat. It’s genuinely warm. It’s a classic silhouette. It’s a bit oversized, it’s quite boxy, but you can fit your sweater underneath. It just makes you feel quite handsome and powerful when you put it on,” she explains.

Whether you’re shopping for $24 brooches to gift to your fashion-loving friends or a $598 leather jacket to treat yourself, every piece will help you channel It-girl Chung’s signature style… and perhaps even Meg Ryan’s? The model says that if any fictional character would wear this nostalgic collection, it would be one of Ryan’s rom-com characters from ‘90s-era movies like When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail.
