Lululemon Skirts – My Honest Try-On Reviews

Lululemon may be famous for its leggings, but don’t sleep on their skirt game. I recently tried on three Lululemon skirts—each totally different in style and vibe—to find out if they live up to the brand’s rep for combining performance with polish. From sporty pleats to casual midi moments, here’s what you need to know before adding them to your cart.

1. Softstreme High-Rise Midi Skirt – The Everyday Essential

This skirt is classic meets cozy. Made from Lululemon’s Softstreme™ fabric, it feels like a gentle hug—peach-fuzz soft and almost velvety to the touch.

Fit & Feel:

• High-waisted with a slim, flattering cut that doesn’t feel restrictive.
• Hits mid-calf for a sophisticated midi look.
• The fabric drapes beautifully and adds subtle structure.

It’s perfect for workdays, coffee runs, or casual dinners. I wore it with a tucked-in tee and slides, but it would look amazing dressed up with boots and a sweater, too.

Pros:

• Buttery-soft comfort
• Great for dressing up or down
• Keeps its shape all day

Cons:

• Doesn’t offer stretch for sport or high movement
• Slightly heavier, so better for cooler days

2. High-Rise Pleated Tennis Skirt Long – Court Chic

This one’s all about athleisure meets prep. With crisp pleats and a longer cut, the High-Rise Pleated Tennis Skirt feels sporty yet sophisticated.

Fit & Feel:

• Lightweight, breathable fabric—perfect for active days.
• Built-in liner with grippy hems that actually stay in place.
• The high waist is supportive and flattering.

I wore it for a casual day out and even tested it on a brisk walk. It moved with me and stayed comfortable the whole time. The longer length also gives it a more polished, adult vibe than most tennis skirts.

Pros:

• Great for movement and activity
• Cute and preppy without being childish
• Built-in shorts = major plus

Cons:

• Fabric wrinkles slightly after sitting
• May run a bit small—consider sizing up if between sizes

3. Stretch Woven Ruffle-Waist Midi Skirt – Flowy & Feminine

This skirt felt like a breath of fresh air. It’s made from a lightweight stretch woven fabric and features a comfy, ruffled waistband that sits high and flatters the waistline.

Fit & Feel:

• Airy and ultra-lightweight, perfect for warmer months.
• The A-line cut gives it a floaty, feminine feel.
• Has pockets (YES!) that are deep enough for a phone or keys.

This is the kind of skirt that makes you want to spin around in circles. I wore it with a ribbed tank and sandals, and it was ideal for a laid-back day out. Plus, it comes in neutral tones that go with everything.

Pros:

• Flattering ruffle waist
• Breezy, breathable fabric
• Pockets that don’t add bulk

Cons:

• May need a slip depending on the color
• Waistband can ride up if you’re moving a lot

Final Thoughts: Skirts That Fit the Lululemon Standard

I came in curious, and I walked away impressed. Lululemon’s skirts blend style, comfort, and performance better than I expected. Whether you’re lounging, moving, or styling for a casual day out, there’s something here for every wardrobe.

My personal favorite? The Softstreme High-Rise Midi Skirt—it’s timeless, flattering, and incredibly cozy. But if you’re leaning athletic or summery, the pleated tennis and ruffle-waist midi are close contenders.
