Lululemon's New Collection Keeps Runners Safe at Night

— October 27, 2016 — Lifestyle
Lululemon recently debuted a new collection that is designed to keep runners safe when it is dark out. While the brand may have built its reputation on selling performance yoga pants, now it is proving that it is a go-to choice for a wide range of activewear.

The new Lululemon x NYC Labs line is four-piece collection that will be available online and at Lululemon's flagship stores in NYC and Vancouver. The collection consists of a sports bra, shorts, a shirt and pants, all of which are made with a highly reflective material. The material is meant to keep runners safe by making them visible to drivers, cyclists and other pedestrians when running at night or early in the morning. As the brand's brand's Director of Future Textiles Pascale Gueracague explains, "This was about synthesizing something super functional, but also really beautiful into a single expression."
Trend Themes
1. Safety-enhancing Activewear - The trend of safety-enhancing activewear presents an opportunity for the development of innovative garments that combine style and functionality.
2. Reflective Material Technology - The use of advanced reflective material technology offers a disruptive innovation opportunity to create high-visibility products for various industries.
3. Multi-purpose Sportswear - The trend of multi-purpose sportswear opens up possibilities to design versatile activewear that caters to different activities and environments.
Industry Implications
1. Athletic Apparel - The athletic apparel industry can explore the incorporation of safety-enhancing features, such as reflective materials, to provide functional and stylish options for consumers.
2. Running Gear - The running gear industry can capitalize on the trend of safety-enhancing activewear by creating innovative products that prioritize visibility and safety during nighttime or early morning runs.
3. Cycling Equipment - The cycling equipment industry can benefit from the adoption of reflective material technology to develop products that enhance cyclist visibility and safety on the road.
