As evidenced by the lack of consistent posting in this little corner of the internet, life has been overwhelming me lately, and I probably need real therapy. But today, I’m digging into what’s kicking around on lululemon’s Boxing Day event to see if I can get a temporary hit of endorphins instead. Retail therapy fixes everything, right?
Quick Links: Shop By Size
If you’re not doing so already, ALWAYS FILTER BY SIZE. With how much lululemon has expanded their size offerings in the last year or so, it can appear like there are a bazillion options available on markdown. Using the size filter is going to drastically reduce your disappointment.
Using the “shirts” filter with no size parameter, I counted 116 options at the time of this post. When I narrowed it down to “shirts” in size 8 only, the selection dropped down to 32. Oof. As I did with Black Friday, below are links by category, and also by size, because I love you.

Retail Therapy: Lululemon Boxing Day 2021
So here’s what I actually bought. The Boxing Day upload started on Christmas Eve, so *yes* was there a much deeper selection then? Yes. But when you add to cart and walk away for 48 hours, sometimes it saves you a few hundred final sale dollars. I got 4 items, 3 of which qualify as useful, and one of which was a true “treat”.
- MicroPillow Tab Running Sock *Light Cushioning in Clementine – Need breathable socks for sweaty Peloton rides!
- Lightweight Jersey Tank Top – Tried on this fall but couldn’t stomach full price. Feels like the same heavenly fabric as the Light As Air underwear (RIP circa 2016).
- City Sleek 5 Pocket 7/8 Pant – Work pants. Got a promotion, need to wear more tailored clothing with buttons and zippers because I’m in charge of things (and people) now.
- Wunder Train High-Rise Tight 25″ – My one true “treat” of the lot.

I ordered 6 things, but only because I found the smooth hipsters which were discontinued (the closest they’ve had to the Namastays IMO.) I ordered 4 pairs. I can’t stand the new InvisiWear ones. Awful design. I may order one or two more of the smooth seamless if they continue to linger on the website!
My fun purchase was the Wunder Lounge leggings in true navy. I threw in a Power Y for good measure. Not much else I wanted.
Thank you for teaching us during Black Friday to sort by size! Genius!! It made shopping so much faster during the Boxing Day release. Congrats on your promotion!!
I did the same stock up when the Light as Air was discontinued, and I honestly could never get with the Namastay Puts. Ended up moving to the Under Armour Pure Stretch Hipster and have been in love ever since.
I considered Wunder Lounges, but I’ve been big on joggers in the house this season!
I’m super happy to hear you’re making good use of the filtered search links! Too many clicks have led to disappointment over the course of the last year, I had to break it down to hopefully help a sister out ☺️
Congratulations on the promotion! You’ll love the city sleek pants, if you don’t already have them. They’re fantastic work pants: look tailored but STETCHY!
Thanks! I remember trying them on like a year ago and thinking to hold out for a markdown. Played the long game 😂
