I might have to give Lululemon another try. I bought some of their clothes a few years ago when I first started running, but I was a bit turned off by how flashy they are (attracting attention to my legs is something I try to avoid!). Thanks for the thorough reviews! I love that bra top as well even though I don't technically need a new one right now... :DAlison (Fueling for Fitness)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04824435339887489200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-12587473490736073612015-07-15T13:37:08.947-07:002015-07-15T13:37:08.947-07:00That's good to know that it's not just me!...That's good to know that it's not just me!!

My sister in law has a bright pink pair and they look amazing on her and she always tells me how comfy they are. I've got the opposite problem as you... I have a super long torso and shorter legs.

The All Sport Bras (not currently out but probably will be again soon) are very similar in terms of support and comfort, so if you see a color in that that doesn't come out in the Energy Bra, it's basically the same except with different straps. I have never been comfortable in shorts until I tried Lulu's! I have the Tracker Shorts, which are the longest length since I have bigger legs. They're so flattering and so comfortable! As for the tops, I agree about the Swiftlys. They ride up like crazy! I have only one tank, and it rides up when I wear it with Lulu bottoms. But I do buy the long-sleeve ones and wear them as a base layer in winter. I tuck them into my tights so they don't ride up. I think they are crazy expensive so always get them marked down. As for the cool racerbacks, I'm sorry that was a miss for you! They are my favorite tank, but I do not wear them for summer running. I wear them for everything else, though--even at work! Both the Swifty and CRB are very fitted--maybe one of their other styles would work for you? My absolutely favorite Lulu item is the Speed Tights. I wear them all fall and winter so get a lot of use out of them. They come in different weights, so I have some good for just cool weather to the craziest below-zero wind chills we had last winter. They have a ton of pockets including the side pockets that I find so useful. And they're incredibly flattering and comfy! Usually Lulu only starts releasing them in the fall, but for some reason they have some out now. Check them out next time you're in the store!

However I will say while I find the shorts and crops super durable, their tanks and t's seem to stretch and wear rather quickly. I find as soon as I start sweating the tops almost stretch down and are past my hips. Not my favorite, but let's be real, I'll still wear them. I've never tried one of their bras but I really want to!

They are very similar designs, but I like the nice wide straps of the All Sport Bra more than the thinner energy straps. I have a couple pairs of the speed shorts but they aren't quite the right fit for my body type. <br /><br />Other workout gear that I love: Athleta Chi tops. I own two of the racerback tanks and one of the long sleeves. The material is so soft and so comfortable. I want to wear these shirts all the time! I also am a huge fan of Athleta's return policy (you can return any item at any time). So if you try a pair of shorts and they end up riding up while you run (or whatever) you can just return them.
