Lululemon’s New Loungewear Styles Were Made For Cozy Season

Lululemon lovers step to the front because the brand recently updated its loungewear section with new arrivals, just in time for the fall. From the new Scuba Waffle fabric to a Define tracksuit drop and yoga-ready BeCalm styles, the reader-favorite brand is clearly just as excited for cozy season as we are. But we’re especially eyeing the new Loungeful collection that was released this week.

The “street-ready sweats” — according to its product pages — are made from a stretchy cotton-fleece blend that’s incredibly soft and warm. And there are several styles to test out as the months get chillier. So scroll ahead for a deep dive on Loungeful, as well as new styles from the Scuba, BeCalm, and Softstream collections that are worth checking out and adding to your fall wardrobe.

New Lululemon Loungeful Collection

This small-but-mighty collection offers cozy-meets-edgy sweats that can effortlessly go from the couch to the streets. Think: relaxed cropped zip-ups and on-trend barrel-leg sweatpants. The oversized crewnecks and classic high-rise sweatpants are especially versatile and can be layered over fitted tops and biker shorts for extra warmth. But we’re particularly excited about the high-rise midi skirt with a drawcord waist and back leg slit to create (unexpected) elevated athleisure looks.

New Lululemon Scuba Waffle Collection

The brand’s smooth, plush, and heavyweight Scuba fabric is already wildly popular, so we expect the same from its newest iteration: Scuba Waffle. As a departure, this new fabrication is textured on the outside (while retaining its soft fleece interior) and is overall more lightweight. Designed for casual use — like lounging around the house, breezy fall walks, and running errands — the matching sets, like funnel-neck half-zip sweatshirts and high-rise shorts are a no-brainer.

New Lululemon BeCalm Collection

Super drapey and luxurious, the BeCalm Modal French terry fabric is available in new styles, like Bermuda shorts, meant to elevate your everyday activities. We think the boatneck long-sleeve top paired with the fold-over flared pants especially make for a chic yoga-to-brunch outfit. You also can’t go wrong with the oversized sweatpants that are flowy on the outside and fuzzy on the inside.

New Lululemon Softstreme Collection

Yet another beloved peach-soft fabric and casual collection, Softstreme has been updated with new styles and colorways. The oversized polo top is available in several new colorways and is bound to become a fall wardrobe staple. Plus, we recommend wearing the sleek pintuck pants when you need to go to the office but want to be as comfortable as possible.

The Sporty Trend Lives On At The NYFW SS26 Runways

As I ran around NYC (and Brooklyn) scoping out the biggest trends from the New York Fashion Week spring/summer 2026 runways, one became an instant favorite. Among the polka dots, bloomers, “groufits,” peplums, distressed jeans, and stunning gowns, the sporty aesthetic stood out like a rebellious younger sibling. Think: relaxed jersey silhouettes, collegiate rugby stripes, game-day tracksuits, and retro sneakers

Day 1 started the sporty trend off strong with Kate Barton and trickled throughout the week until the final night with Agbobly. Plus, from NYFW attendees (like myself) styling soccer jerseys to special appearances from gymnast Jordan Chiles (and even NY Liberty mascot, Ellie the Elephant), sports had a strong presence from street style to the FROW and runways. 

And with women’s sports finally getting its flowers, the US Open capturing our attention for the last few weeks, football season in full swing, and the World Cup coming to North America next summer, we know that sporty silhouettes and details will continue to reign rather than become a fleeting, micro trend that isn’t worth exploring.

While some collections made slight nods to sports via rugby-inspired polos paired with knee-high Pilates socks (Christian Cowan) or striped leotards and neon netting (Diotima), others waved their pom poms (figuratively and literally). Gabe Gordon presented a collection that “suggests that desire is not simply expressed through bodies, but through impact,” according to its show notes. And the impact in question clearly includes a tackling metaphor as a few looks featured shrug-esque tops that looked both like football shoulder pads and actual footballs. The “get your goat on” graphic dress also speaks for itself.

Area’s new creative director, Nicholas Aburn, made his debut with splashy and joyful designs. The spring collection featured tinsel pom pom purses (that quickly went viral) as well as sequined dresses made from deconstructed basketball jerseys from the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and more.

Meanwhile, Kate Barton’s collection was the first to catch my eye in person, thanks to a collared long-sleeve jersey… paired with a bubble skirt. The show notes read: “Retro athletic references are interwoven with eveningwear codes, underscoring Barton’s fresh instinct for balancing the sportive with the feminine, the nostalgic with the new.”

And the sport jersey influence didn’t end there. After taking three years off from NYFW, Dauphinette re-entered the spotlight with a hauntingly beautiful collection. But of course, the style that shined for me was a seashell-covered polo top with the number 10 on the back (typically reserved for the best of the best soccer players, like Lionel Messi).

Beyond more rough-around-the-edges and relaxed styles, Alice + Olivia offered a preppy, polished, and digestible display at its NYFW presentation. Many models wore nostalgic and patriotic red-white-and blue stripes across cropped polos, cardigans, tennis skirts, crew socks and baseball caps as they stood in front of jumbo-sized sports equipment. 

Sporty street styles were especially championed in Brooklyn, from the first night of NYFW — when Theophilio showed athletic-esque neon zip-ups and matching sets, like menswear tracksuits, accompanied by Puma sneakers. And it lasted through closing night when Agbobly started the show with FC Harlem soccer players dribbling along the runway before joyful, youthful, and vibrant (yes, more neon) looks “powered by Nike” sneakers breezed along. 

So what do we take from the sports-thread that tied together the spring 2026 shows? Well, we should confidently start wearing our favorite jerseys, elevated athleisure wear, and even on-trend cleats beyond game day, if we haven’t already started. And we certainly don’t have to wait until the days get longer and hotter since these designs aren’t as seasonal as the actual sports seasons, and can already be styled for the fall

New York Fashion Week Street Style Is Giving Us Transitional Outfit Inspo

Fashion month is in full swing — with Copenhagen Fashion Week in our rearview mirror and New York Fashion Week officially starting off the season — with inspiring spring/summer 2026 runways. And while the shows look to the future of fashion, we’ve been scouting the streets for what’s hot right now. NYFW attendees have been going all out with their outfits, dressing for cool early-fall days while embracing a fresh spring mentality. And that’s given us a masterclass in transitional-weather dressing.

From rich colors (especially jewel tones) and elevated basics (à la white button-up tops) to strategic layering (a statement coat can make a look), the NYFW street style outfits are the perfect inspiration for your own fall wardrobe refresh. Whether you’re considering styling (or buying) barrel-leg pants, a shaggy coat, knee-high boots, or a statement top-handle bag, scroll on for outfit inspo from the best NYFW looks we’ve seen so far.
