Not their best work

Weird fit, odd fabric cuts, not the best mesh material. lulus new stuff all seems to miss the mark and this is one of the worst offenders. Stick to their core basics, get some striped shorts elsewhere.

Why not in 7” inseam

Not sure why some shorts are released in both 5 and 7” inseam? Like in 7” inseam there is no blue color. Only those shorts with lines which looks horrible. Wish you guys have released the solid navy color in 7” inseam. Inseams should be consistent with all products , for example 5 and 7” inseam for all the shorts and colours.

We hear that the fabric around the pocket of your Mesh‑Panelled Tennis Short 5" pilled after just two hours of wear, and we understand that's not ideal. We'd love to continue this conversation, so please keep an eye out in your email inbox.
