Blindfold Leggings Challenge Breakdown
Testing My Husband’s Knowledge of lululemon Fabrics and Pants
My husband is one of my biggest supporters in everything @jkmckay. Ryan supports me not only by acting as photographer and videographer but he also edits my YouTube videos, assists me with notifying my text list about lululemon restocks, and by designing my website and email newsletter.
While Ryan liked lululemon clothing himself before even meeting me, I can definitely say that I’ve added to his personal obsession. Over the last year, Ryan has learned a lot about lululemon’s different products and fabrics and I wanted to put him to the ultimate test. Inspired by @katie_constantine on TikTok, I decided to blindfold Ryan and test him on his knowledge of lululemon leggings. If you’re interested to see the guessing game unfold, you’ll want to check out the corresponding YouTube video.
For anyone who has seen the video or watched the behind the scenes filming of it live on @jkmckay TikTok, I wanted to compare the different leggings. This is a quick breakdown comparison of the popular leggings from lululemon with tips on how to tell the difference between them all. While I don’t have a couple of styles (Instill Tight and Swift Speed), I’ll add them here just to complete the list.

It was so much fun challenging Ryan to guess all of these leggings and I was impressed with the results. Keep in mind that there are more styles than I have listed here that have been popular or staple leggings in previous years. For me personally, I loved the All the Right Places Pant and the In Movement Tight, but sometimes our favourite items are “sunset” or discontinued. As time goes on, perhaps I’ll update this list or maybe test Ryan on his knowledge of even more items from lululemon. Do you think you’d pass this blindfold test? If you try this yourself, don’t forget to tag @jkmckay so I can see it!
