Copenhagen’s It-girl–worn label Ganni is tired of Scandi-minimalist design codes. Otherwise, it’s completely energized — and obsessed with movement, as proven by the contemporary fashion house’s newest collaboration with activewear destination Lululemon.
Launching October 15, the capsule is a happy marriage between Lululemon’s technical, performance-focused innovations and Ganni’s quirky, expressive, pattern-rich sartorial ethos.
Editors Recommend: Styles Worth Your Time From Ganni x Lululemon
Considering the fact that the athletic apparel giant’s cult-favorite leggings, sports bras, puffers, and golf polos are almost always swathed in single colors — with the occasional, vintage-inspired color-blocking popping up here and there — Ganni x Lululemon‘s liberal use of leopard print, ruffles, and sumptuous textures has successfully captured the internet’s attention. Word of caution: When that happens, inventory typically runs out within hours.
That’s why our shopping team at WWD is pointing out the styles to get and the pieces to skip below, allowing you to rush to lululemon.com and ganni.com, immediately add the most worth-it releases to cart, and avoid leisurely perusing the fresh collaboration’s respective landing pages (time is truly of the essence).
Ultimately, this collection is all about joy, so we hope you feel the emotion while making — and shortly thereafter opening — your personality-laden purchases.
What to Shop From Ganni x Lululemon
BEST FALL LAYER FOR THE GYM
Ganni x Lululemon Define Ruffle-Trim Jacket
Lululemon’s quintessential Define Jacket is getting the animal-spots treatment with leopard patterning overlaid on satiny, shiny fabric that’s traditional to the style. It’s stretchy (thanks, Lycra), whisks away sweat, and will let you move around freely — in whatever way you like to stay active — while putting on a head-turning show.
Couldn’t snag the pictured iteration in time at Lululemon? All sizes are still available at Ganni at the time of this writing, and the Espresso/Cherry Blossom Pink option is also showing promising stock.
TIMELESS LEGGINGS CHOICE
Ganni x Lululemon Ruffle-Trim Mid-Rise Tight 28″
Speaking of this color combo, we recommend cosigning it in the context of Ganni x Lululemon’s 28-inch Ruffle-Trim Mid-Rise Tight. The thing is, leopard print’s appeal in the fashion realm might wane as trends shift, but a coffee-inspired shade of brown will never lose its cool, especially during the cold-weather months.
Look closer and you’ll discover “hints of ruffle trim” here, per the product description. Still have your heart set on all things exotic? Shop the spotted leggings directly on Ganni’s site.
COZIEST OPTION
Ganni x Lululemon Brushed Softstreme Slouchy Pullover
If you’re Team Baggy, not Team Tight, you’ll find a lot to appreciate in this oh-so-’80s pullover: deemed “peach-fuzz soft” while boasting the kind of bubble hem that’s been trending for the past few seasons. Ganni’s stylized logo at center seals the deal on this being a “must-shop” pick.
UNEXPECTED MATERIAL
Ganni x Lululemon Jacquard Mesh Half-Sleeve Bodysuit
Keep the Espresso theme going with Ganni x Lululemon’s scoop neck–equipped bodysuit, crafted out of jacquard mesh. Parting with the opaque bodysuit materials of yore, this one lets some light pass through — being just the thing for pulling over all the Lululemon workout bras in your rotation.
INSTANT COOL POINTS
Ganni x Lululemon Jacquard Mesh Tank Top
Ganni x Lululemon, at its core, nods to the style codes of retro dance (more on this later), and this particular tank has a hip-hop edge to it that we appreciate. Color-blocked, shape-retaining, roomy, and subtly sheer, all it’s missing is LL Cool J playing in the background.
THOUGHTFUL FEATURES
Ganni x Lululemon Ruffle-Trim Textured Jacket
This jacket’s ruffles aren’t mere suggestions: showcased, as they are, right down the front alongside contrast piping in a blue hue. A pleasure to look at, the piece also holds its own with functional specs like back vent–supplied thermoregulation, a wear and tear–resistant composition, and — brace yourself — a zipper pull that can moonlight as an emergency hair tie. We’re living in the future.
Make it a matching set by grabbing the drop’s complementary pants.
TREND-ALIGNED FOOTWEAR
Ganni x Lululemon Flat Mate Shoe With Ruffle Trim
Thought you knew everything about Lululemon’s second-skin Flat Mate footwear style? Think again. As of this week, it’s been transformed by special Ganni touches like a leopard-print insole, a yellow heel tab, and, of course, ruffles galore — ensuring that the Flat Mate not only becomes the comfiest thing on your shoe rack but also its most outspoken (all hail the “ugly shoe” fascination of 2026).
Bonus points: The slip-on is “tailored to the unique morphology of the female foot,” as Lululemon puts it.
NONNEGOTIABLE
Ganni x Lululemon Back to Life Straw-Lid Bottle 24oz
The hottest thing a girl can be is hydrated, and this co-branded water bottle makes getting your mandatory ounces in way more exciting.
STUDIO SAVIORS
Ganni x Lululemon Unisex Find Your Balance Ruffle-Trim Grip Socks
If you take pilates classes, you’re well aware that grip socks are status symbols of sorts in the studio, and your under-$20 Amazon set of five will no longer cut it. These ones are pressure-mapped, effectively prop up the arches, feature impressive ventilation tech, and — we’re clearly burying the lede — have ruffled straps for bringing some coquettish elegance to your daily workouts.
What to Skip From Ganni x Lululemon
In case the wild cat–evoking bottoms, merino-wool bolero, ruffled headbands set, and leg warmers that you were eyeing are, woefully, nowhere to be found on Lululemon’s online shelves by the time you read this article, we urge you to save the tears.
First of all, Ganni’s own website is still replete with these styles, and a Lululemon restock is also very likely if history is any indication. Second of all, the items we listed out above only ever-so-slightly shout out their makers, if at all, meaning going with other brands’ almost-identical alternatives will allow you to replicate the looks, have everyone fooled, and save some money in the process.
We came upon similar hair accessories at Urban Outfitters (albeit wider), leg warmers that are just as soft and luxurious for half the price at Bombas, flattering shrugs at Athleta, and dark leopard-print leggings not associated with Ganni right at Lululemon (they cost less than the collab’s take and offer more visual drama, in our opinion).
Also worth a skip? The Ruffle-Trim Textured Midi Dress (avant-garde and eye-catching but ultimately impractical); the Brushed Softstreme Barrel-Leg Pant, which look like all other oversized, gray sweatpants on the market, if we’re being brutally honest; and the Ruffle-Trim Textured Mid-Rise Short (it’s cute, don’t get us wrong, but FP Movement’s billowy alternative does it better by directly referencing tennis skirts).
