Lululemon's new $98 leggings are getting roasted online. @kathryn.mueller said in a TikTok review that she's "not super impressed" with the new Breezethrough leggings, released July 9 and already pulled due to backlash.

The fabric is good, the design flaw is in the back seam and makes the butt look completely asymmetrical. - TikTok reviewer @kathryn.mueller

Reviewers criticized the waistband, butt seam, and small sizing, claiming the leggings made their butts look long and asymmetrical. A "Lulu Addict" on Reddit's Lululemon forum agreed, noticing the leggings ran small. Mueller added that the seams were too exaggerated and should've contoured along the hips.
