## **My Lululemon Collection**

**I am 5ft5 120lbs with a 25 waist, so I’m a 4 at Lululemon (most tops and bottoms).**

## 1\. [lululemon Align™ Pant 28″](https://rstyle.me/+YOjkshyKcIMkAWJM0JIIYA)

$98

I have these [Align leggings](https://rstyle.me/+YOjkshyKcIMkAWJM0JIIYA) in black, and they’ve been my ride-or-die pair since 2018. In case you don’t know, Lululemon’s Align collection is made from Nulu™ fabric. It is lightweight, buttery soft, and so durable. 

### Nulu™ fabric

-   _Body: 81% Nylon, 19% Lycra® elastane_
-   _Buttery soft & weightless_
-   _Sweat-wicking_
-   _4-way stretch_
-   _Breathable_
-   _Added Lycra® fibre for stretch and shape retention_
-   _Pocket inside waistband for credit card_
-   _Care: wash with like colors, machine wash cold and tumble dry low._

**The Align is best for** **low-impact workouts** **like yoga or when you want to feel comfortable**. If you’re looking for a pair of simple no-fuss leggings that you can wear as it, under dresses, or with sweaters and boots for fall and winter, these are the ones! They are incredibly versatile.

### REVIEW: 

As mentioned above, I’m 5ftt 120 lbs, and size 4 fits me perfectly. The fabric is indeed buttery soft and stretchy. I think as long as you take some time to find out the right size, these should be opaque. I’ve never had any problems when it comes to sheerness with these leggings.

The high waist fits me comfortably and snuggly, nothing too loose or too tight. They’re so comfortable that I’ve lounged around in them, traveled everywhere in them, and even worn them to sleep. That speaks a lot because I hate wearing long pants to sleep since they can get very uncomfortable.

With that, do know that they are not the best pair of leggings in the world that they will look good and last forever. Those don’t exist!

One important note to take into consideration is the fact that these **Align pants do PILL!**

I think I started noticing the pilling after about 2 years. Note that I don’t wash my athletic clothes separately from other clothes, but I do always make sure to wash everything on COLD and tumble dry low. 

### **Solution for pilling problems**

Get a [**fabric shaver**](https://rstyle.me/+_K3NF0YaCmM0MDQcv95W5A)!!! I’d recommend putting them on and shave off the pilling to the best of your ability. Make sure to check for any snags and avoid cutting those off. They will make holes if you shave them off! So just like fixing a sweater, you’d want to fix any snags before using a shaver. But shaving definitely helps freshen up the old leggings!
