The color palette remains neutral for a minimal design language. Every single item has been tested in the brand's weather chamber to ensure comfort throughout different conditions in the warmer seasons - this includes rain, heat, and humidity. Talking about the capsule, the brand states that “Running has a way of unlocking feelings: motivation, calm, release; frustration, exhaustion, euphoria. With social distancing measures in place, outdoors running is perhaps one of the most popular physical activities.” Image Credit: Lululemon ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Summer Running-ready Sportswear:** Opportunity for athleisure brands to focus on sport-specific collections for summer weather conditions. - **Minimalistic Running Apparel:** Opportunity for apparel brands to embrace minimalistic designs for running collections. - **Weather-tested Running Gear:** Opportunity for brands to create weather-tested running gear to ensure comfort during different weather conditions. ### Where This Applies - **Athleisure:** Athleisure brands can focus on creating sport-specific collections for running in warmer weather. - **Apparel:** Apparel brands can embrace minimalistic design language for running collections. - **Sportswear:** Sportswear brands can create weather-resistant running gear to ensure comfort during summer conditions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Earthy Athleisure Clothing Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-run-active.md) - [Dynamic Athleisure Menswear Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-run-menswear-collection.md) - [Stylish Everyday Men's Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lululemon-2.md) - [Festive Athletic Editions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lululemon-lunar-new-year.md) - [Performance-Based Running Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandit-winter-2024.md) - [Premium Lifestyle Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lululemon-x-erewhon.md) - [High-Performance Spring Activewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-activewear.md) - [Trail Running Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/driftform-collection.md) - [Expansive Performance Running Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandit-fall-2024.md)
