Is it just me, or is Fabletics drunk? The few things I have from them I like, but it seems like the new items they're releasing

Yeah, April’s Fabletics release was by far the weakest I’ve seen. I hope they were just focusing on their new extended inseams and that’s why they had so few other good products. The prints were really ugly and the colors kind of strange (so much orange, why?!).

If I could give them some advice, here’s what I would say:

  • Always have basic workout attire in stock in all sizes in black and white—at least. This includes full-length leggings, crops, a basic tank without a shelf bra, a basic tank with a shelf bra and a hoodie or jacket. These are items they should always carry in every single size. I don’t see any reason why they couldn’t or wouldn’t do this.
  • Bring back best-sellers or stop using old, long since sold out pieces in marketing materials or on social media. They posted this on their Instagram a few days. This is completely baffling to me. Why even mention the leggings? They’re not available! Or this banner image, right on their homepage. I don’t think any of these items are available any longer. A few of the tops pictured are some of my favorite shirts I own—period!—so I’d like to see them come back.
  • Their initial releases were a lot less fussy. Recent designs have been way more trendy and, in some cases, bizarre. A transparent vest? A HOODED CAPE? Stop it right now, Kate Hudson.
  • Some months are stronger for slugwear and other months are stronger for actual athleticwear. They need to work on striking a better balance between the two. I’d like to see a better tank with a shelf bra or just a better, longer, higher-quality basic tank. The fabric quality on athletic tanks/tops seems to be a little off. I’m still off Lululemon, but their Cool Racerbacks or Power Y tanks can run circles around some of the fabrics Fabletics got their hands on. (I’m not a big Fabletics Embra tank fan.)
  • With all that being said, I was thinking I wouldn’t place an April order because I felt so meh about their options, but I ended up getting several pairs of their shorts and am REALLY happy with the fit and compression.

Basically, I’ve got my eye on you, Fabletics. Don’t let me down. Don’t make me quit you like I did with Ellie.
