The $148 Lululemon Dress That's Replacing Your Summer Capsule Wardrobe — But Is It Worth the Hype?
Lululemon The internet can't stop talking about one dress: Lululemon's new 2-in-1 Maxi Dress, a $148 wardrobe chameleon that's dominating TikTok feeds and trending across fashion forums. Minimalist in silhouette but bold in versatility, the ankle-length number functions as both a strapless dress and a fold-over maxi skirt. And if your For You Page is anything like ours, you've probably seen influencers styling it for everything from airport travel to rooftop dinners. But is it actually worth the hype — or just another flash-in-the-pan trend? TikTok's Favorite Summer Dress, Lululemon 2-in-1 Maxi Dress, Is Selling Fast — Here's What You Need to Know: Lululemon It's Not Just a Dress — It's a 2-in-1 Power Piece Let's break down the specs. The Lululemon 2-in-1 Maxi Dress is designed with functionality and comfort in mind. The bodice is made from an ultra-soft, lightweight version of the brand's Nulu™ fabric, brushed for a luxurious feel and a polished finish. It features four-way stretch, is sweat-wicking, and quick-drying — so it stays breathable and comfortable even on the hottest days. The skirt portion is crafted from a soft, silk-blend modal fabric that also offers four-way stretch, along with moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties. The material is naturally breathable, making it ideal for everything from travel to brunch to warm summer evenings. Unlike many of Lululemon's offerings, this piece isn't performance activewear — it's part of their casualwear range, designed to move effortlessly between style settings while maintaining the brand's signature fabric technology. The goal? A fuss-free, go-anywhere essential that can be dressed up or down with ease. The Fit: Who It's For—and Who Should Skip It The dress runs true to size, but shorter shoppers (under 5'4') have reported needing to hem it or wear platform sandals. The strapless bodice is secure for most bust sizes, thanks to the thicker material and snug banding. That said, if you're petite or curvier on top, you might find it challenging to keep in place without constant adjusting — especially if worn without a bra. Some Reddit users have noted that the fabric, while soft, is thinner than expected, making seamless undergarments a must. Others called it their favorite purchase of the season, with one review on Lululemon's site reading: 'I absolutely love this dress! It's so flattering, incredibly comfortable and I get compliments everywhere I go. I liked it so much I bought a second one in black. It's a true classic piece that I know I'll wear for years!' Lululemon Styled Three Ways: Airport, Aperitivo, and Office Travel Day Fit: Worn as a skirt with a cropped tank or hoodie and white sneakers. Add a baseball cap and belt bag and you're TSA-ready in style. Evening Out: Pulled up as a dress, paired with oversized earrings, kitten heels, and a blazer draped over the shoulders for dinner. Work Chic: As a skirt with a tucked-in silk blouse and loafers — surprisingly polished for an office setting when done right. For an investment piece, the dress scores major points on *cost per wear*. Grazia's Verdict: Hype-Worthy, With Caveats The Lululemon 2-in-1 Maxi Dress is not the answer for every body type or every summer moment — but it comes close! If you're someone who lives in neutral staples and thrives on low-maintenance dressing, it may earn a permanent place in your capsule wardrobe. At $148, it's not a steal — but if you consider that it replaces two pieces (and can be styled countless ways), it's easier to justify. Just don't expect it to double as shapewear or hold structure like a woven garment — it's soft, stretchy, and meant to move with you, not sculpt you.

A new Lululemon dress is stirring up the internet. Here's why
A new Lululemon dress is stirring up the internet. Here's why "Is this just for the label? Who walks into Lululemon and they're like, 'Oh my gosh, that's the cutest summer dress I've ever seen?'" TikTok creator Dasie said. Show Caption Hide Caption Steven Madden to buy UK-based luxury shoe brand Kurt Geiger The world of fashion footwear has a new pair, as shoe designer Steven Madden said it would buy UK-based luxury brand Kurt Geiger. The all-cash deal, valued at $360 million, expands Steve Madden's presence in international markets. The internet is going crazy over a new dress, and no, it is not "the dress" from 2015. Behind the hysteria is a multi-functional athleisure maxi skirt-dress duo from trendy sportswear brand Lululemon. Lululemon's new 2-in-1 Maxi Dress, a basic one-color dress that can be worn as an ankle-length maxi skirt or strapless dress, has garnered mixed emotions from social media users. Some believe the nearly $150 dress is worth every penny because of its versatility, enough that the dress is sold out in every size except extra large, and others think it's undeserving of the hype. Interested to hear what people think? Here's what the internet is saying about the viral Lululemon 2-in-1 Maxi Dress. Viral trends: 10 years later, 'the dress' still divides us. But we understand a lot more about why. How much does Lululemon's 2-in-1 Maxi Dress cost? The 2-in-1 Maxi Dress costs $148 on the Lululemon website, before shipping. As of June 3, the dress was sold out in every size and color but Light Ivory in extra large. However, shoppers can sign up to be notified if and when the dress will be restocked on the Lululemon website. What are people saying about the dress? In a TikTok video with 83,000 views as of June 3, content creator Chantalissa models the dress, which she encourages her followers to buy. "It takes a lot for me to buy something that I see on TikTok, but the second I saw this 2-in-1 dress from Lululemon, I literally went to the store instantly and tried it on," Chantalissa said in her video. "I actually feel like a princess in it. It's so beautiful, so flowy. I'm obsessed." On the flip side, content creator Dasie expressed her confusion about the dress's popularity, specifically because of the price and simple design. "Is this just for the label? Who walks into Lululemon and they're like, 'Oh my gosh, that's the cutest summer dress I've ever seen?'" Dasie said in a TikTok video with about 4,800 views as of June 3. "I'm not trying to be mean. No hate. You could walk into Walmart and get a cuter dress than that." To 'thneed' or not to 'thneed' Lululemon's 2-in-1 Maxi Dress quickly became deemed a "thneed" on social media. A "thneed" is a garment that can be worn multiple ways, and its name comes from the highly versatile object knitted by the Once-ler in Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax." As depicted in the original Lorax book and movie, a "thneed" can be used as a shirt, sock, glove, hat, carpet or pillow − "a fine thing that all people need." In addition to being multifunctional, a "thneed" is cheap ($3.98, as outlined in "The Lorax") and ethically sourced, as "thneeds" are made entirely from foliage of Truffula Trees, the circular and wispy trees in the story. While some may believe the 2-in-1 Maxi Dress is a "thneed," TikTok user Rachael, commonly known as "the Thneed Girl," disagrees. "The garment really isn't transforming at all. It's just going from being worn down at the hip to up at like the chest. It's really not transforming like a thneed really needs to do," Rachael said in a TikTok video. "You can love this dress. You can hate this dress. You can make whatever arguments you want about the ethics of this dress, Lululemon as a company, I really don't care, but it's not a thneed."

Nobody's Child just restocked our fashion team's favourite polka dot midi dress
Mirror's shopping team loves Nobody's Child's polka dot midi dress for its waist-cinching silhouette and timeless style, and it's finally been restocked so you can shop it too This summer there's one dress in particular that's caught the eye of our entire shopping team here at the Mirror, and we've all been desperate to get our hands on it. The White Polka Dot Bandeau Felicity Midi Dress from Nobody's Child is the perfect pick for holidays, events and even casual days in the sun, and it proved so popular with everyone that it sold out not long after launching. However good news if you missed out on it, because it's finally back in stock in all sizes and available for £99. Although the polka dot print is perfect for nailing this summer's trends, it does also come in nine other colours and prints including gingham, red and both a brown and black version with white polka dots. Mirror's fashion and beauty director Michelle Darlow said: 'This dress was the perfect addition to my wardrobe. It's easy to dress up for weddings or parties, but it works just as well with a chunky sandal and a cardigan for a more low key look. It also has pockets! I'm typically a size 10/12 but went for the 10 as I have small boobs and it fitted well on top and was so comfortable and easy to wear all day.' The silhouette of the Felicity Midi Dress is what makes it so flattering and special, with a fitted bandeau bodice and a midi skirt that flares out at the hips. If the thought of a strapless design doesn't do it for you, don't worry; it also comes with attachable spaghetti straps. That means you can add some extra support whenever you want it, or quickly whip them off if you want to avoid any tan lines or change up the neckline. The concealed zip fastening keeps it looking sleek and streamlined, and it's designed to be semi-fitted so it's still comfortable and moveable whilst flattering your figure. If you prefer a different neckline, the Anaya Polka Dot Halter Neck Maxi Dress from ASOS is a great alternative. Slightly cheaper at £85, it has a halter neckline with an adjustable tie fastening, letting you create the perfect fit and support. We also spotted a great alternative at Abercrombie & Fitch, with the Strapless Drop-Waist Maxi Dress currently on sale down from £90 to £74.99. It also features removable spaghetti straps, a boned fitted bodice and a flowing maxi skirt with a dropped waist for a flattering fit. For something a little more casual, the ONLY Stone Polka Dot Bandeau Maxi Dress at Next is perfect. It has a shirred bodice and flowy maxi-length skirt that's perfect for holidays and days at the beach. It's available in sizes XS to XL, with prices ranging between £40 and £44 depending on the size. Nobody's Child does recommend sizing down from your usual size in the Felicity Midi Dress, but if you have a bigger bust or prefer some more movement you could always stick to your regular size. It's also made from 100% organic cotton, which keeps it breathable and lightweight to wear during the summer. You can easily style it with some barely there heels and a raffia clutch, or swap for a pair of regular sandals for a more laidback summer vibe. You could also make it office appropriate with some loafers and a blazer, or create a more laidback look with trainers and a bomber jacket.
