When it comes to winter wear, there are few stores I think do it better than Lululemon.
The Canadian athleisure brand every year turns out high-quality, wear-everywhere fleecy separates that I find myself reaching for all the time, whether I’m off to the gym, out for breakfast or even commuting to work.
This autumn is no exception, with the brand turning out dozens of beautiful styles I’m lusting after.

Top of my (and everyone’s) wishlist this season is anything from the “Plush Fleece” range.
Take the Plush Fleece Curved Hem Pullover ($169) in Mojave Tan for instance.
Featuring an asymmetrical hem that has a cinch at the side for a custom look and fit, the extra roomy sweater has an exaggerated fit you’ll want to pair with both leggings and jeans.
But it’s the material that really make the $169 buy a step above most.
Sumptuously soft, the weighty “plush fleece” fabric makes all time feel like downtime.
The plush fleece is stretchy, cozy, and it feels soft and smooth on the outside with a plush, fleecy interior.
When paired with the new Plush Fleece Double-Waisted High-Rise Pant ($149), it’s an extremely comfortable look you won’t want to take off.
Also available in the “Plush Fleece” range, shoppers can snap up a Funnel Neck Half Zip ($169) and Double-Waisted High-Rise Joggers ($149).
And this new range isn’t the only thing shoppers are loving this autumn/winter either.
Every year, the “Wunder Puff” range is a sellout — with shoppers saying it’s “so warm it’s like wearing a duvet”.
Essentially an extremely lightweight down puffer jacket, the “Wunderpuff” jacket promises to keep you looking stylish as well as feeling warm all winter long.
It’s so popular that global shoppers describe it as the “one thing you need” when the weather gets cold.
Ahead of this winter, lululemon Australia has released a number of new “Wunder Puff” styles — including the best-selling jacket in new shades, a vest, cropped vest and cropped jacket.
But it’s the jacket that’s catching my eye the most right now.
Available in pink, cream, brown and black, the $369 down puffer jacket has a cinchable waist and hem that lets you customise the shape and keep out cold drafts.
Those who own the jacket love that it has a removable hood, as well as zippered hand pockets with a hidden phone sleeve, interior pockets and close-fitting interior cuffs that help hold in heat.
The jacket’s relaxed fit feels roomy and can be worn over larger layers.
Alternatively, you can size down if you prefer a slimmer fit.
Reviews online are glowing for the “Wunder Puff” jacket, with shoppers leaving hundreds of glowing write-ups.
“Love this jacket. Recently wore it in very wet and cold conditions for an outdoor day/night event,” one shopper wrote.
“Kept me warm and dry. Would recommend. I’m a size 4 but bought the size 2 as jacket is so warm, I have no need to layer under it.”
Another added: “Love this jacket! So warm and cosy to wear even on the coldest days.
“Especially the draw string cord to make the jacket a little more fitted around the waistline. I purchased this jacket in size 12 US/16 AUS for the winter mornings spent watching my kids playing sport.”
While a third said: “Great lightweight warm jacket.
“I was sceptical about buying this, but I am so glad I did.
“It is a great length, lightweight, warm, and has an amazing hood for Melbourne winters!”
