This Lululemon rival men love may win women over, too
It started out just for men. Premium workout gear. Smart, simple design. No logos screaming across the chest. And most importantly - it actually fit. That's what helped Rhone stand out in a sea of overhyped menswear. While Lululemon grabbed headlines, Rhone built loyalty. Quietly. Deliberately. Related: As Lululemon faces pressure, a rival brand builds global buzz This was the brand guys recommended in group chats. The one they wore to the gym, to brunch, and sometimes to meetings. It wasn't trying to be loud. It just worked. But lately, something's shifted. The same performance brand men swear by is showing up in new places - new closets, new workouts. For a brand that built its name by going all-in on menswear, it's now getting attention from a very different kind of shopper. And it might just be giving Lululemon something to sweat over. Image source: JHVEPhoto/Shutterstock There wasn't a press release or campaign shouting "We're coming for Lululemon." But the signs are you know where to look. On Reddit's Buy It For Life subreddit - a place obsessed with durability and quality - one user dropped Rhone into a thread asking for the best leggings. "Rhone is great," said u/thealternateopinion. In another thread, when someone asked for alternatives to big-name brands, one reply stood out. u/RepulsivePatience425 doubled down: "This x 1,000! Rhone's quality is measurably better." That kind of feedback isn't from sponsored posts or ad campaigns. It's real people, comparing real gear. Related: Hoka, Ugg maker warns of rising prices amid tariff pressure And after sharing a quick story on my Instagram about the brand, my friend and content creator Carolina Coscia messaged back: "I loveeeee their leggings and the material." She's not alone. I tried the Revive Longline Bra, the Serene Crop Tee, and the DreamGlow jogger + hoodie combo and yeah, it lives up to the hype. I actually wrote this article while decked out in Rhone - and I couldn't have been more comfortable. Looks like I'll be making room in my closet. This isn't a brand experimenting. It's a brand already nailing it. Lululemon still dominates the athleisure space (and my closet). It's a multi-billion dollar brand with global awareness and a cult following. But it's no longer the only name in premium performance wear. Rhone isn't trying to copy Lululemon, and that's what makes it a real threat. Instead of chasing drops or trends, it focuses on comfort, cut, and fabric quality. Think low-key luxury with actual function behind it. And while it made its name with men, that playbook clearly resonates far beyond that.

They want one that feels like it was designed with intention - not as an afterthought or spinoff. If Rhone keeps this momentum, it could chip away at a key part of Lululemon's base: shoppers who prioritize feel, fit, and longevity over hype or labels. For a brand that wasn't even in the women's game until recently, that's a big shift. And it didn't take flashy influencer campaigns or headlines - just better product.

The men's Lululemon rival you'll wish you discovered sooner
When you think of Lululemon, you probably picture women in Align leggings and crossbody belt bags. But that's only half the story. Because somewhere along the way, Lululemon also became a guy thing. We're talking about joggers that guys swear by, tees that feel like nothing, and Commission pants that work for the office and the gym. There's even a subreddit dedicated entirely to the men's side of the brand, r/Lululemen, where guys compare fit pics, debate ABC pants vs. Commission, and swap reviews on drops like they're sneakers. Related: Your next Lululemon top may be made from old clothes So yeah, men aren't just shopping at Lululemon. They're building wardrobes, finding community, and becoming brand loyalists in the process. But here's the thing: some of those loyalists are starting to stray. And they're not going to just any brand. They're going to one that's sleek, technical, growing just might give Lululemon a real run for its money. The shift isn't happening in silence. On r/Lululemen, one popular thread titled "Favorite brands outside of Lululemon" makes it clear: Rhone is on the rise. "Another big vote for Rhone," one user, u/Whole-Association564, wrote. "Their quality reminds me of the OG Lulu stuff I fell in love with." And that sentiment isn't just limited to Reddit. Matt Ryan, a Boston-based marathon runner, law student and self-proclaimed Lululemon loyalist, says Rhone has taken over a serious portion of his closet. Related: Lululemon accuses Costco of copying its yoga pants, other products "Honestly, I think Rhone shirts may actually be better than Lululemon," he told me. He still loves Lululemon but says Rhone's workout shirts and button-downs are perfect: versatile enough for long runs and polished enough for law school life. Rhone isn't trying to be a cheaper version or a lookalike. It's playing in the same space with premium materials and polished performance wear, and depending on whom you ask, it's actually outperforming Lululemon. And for a growing number of guys, it's no longer just an alternative. It's the go-to. Rhone isn't new, but it's finally breaking into the mainstream. The brand was founded in 2014 with a clear mission: high-performance gear for men who care about style, quality, and sweat. Over the years, it's earned a loyal base through sharp designs, premium fabrics like GoldFusion (an anti-odor tech), and a sleek aesthetic that works just as well in the gym as it does in a meeting. And it's not just customers taking notice. More on retail: Lululemon's summer shorts, shirts frustrate some fansNike, Adidas face rising threat on the golf courseHoka, Ugg maker raises red flag on disturbing customer behavior Rhone has been expanding its retail presence through pop-ups and store-in-store concepts at Equinox and select Nordstrom locations. It's also investing heavily in e-commerce and community, with features like personal shopping services and on-site style consults - a move that mirrors some of Lululemon's most successful growth plays. According to Grand View Research, the global men's activewear market was valued at nearly $147 billion in 2024 and is expected to surpass $230 billion by 2030. That means brands offering polish, performance, and versatility are in the perfect position to win big. In other words: Rhone is rising - and it's not riding on hype. It's earning its place in closets, one shirt at a time.

ENPH Stock: Challenges Remain For Enphase Energy
LYON, RHONE, FRANCE - 2025/03/25: Enphase Energy a company exhibitor seen at the Bepositive Energy ... More Transition Show. (Photo by Romain Doucelin/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Enphase Energy has experienced significant turbulence in recent months, with the stock suffering a notable correction following proposed changes to President Trump's tax legislation. The initial proposal from Senate Finance Committee Republicans aimed to eliminate solar, wind, and energy tax credits by 2028, creating substantial headwinds for the already struggling solar energy sector. The tide appeared to turn on June 24, when Enphase stock surged over 10% following reports that Republicans are reconsidering their stance on clean energy tax credits. The proposed modifications would make these credits more generous and extend their expiration dates beyond the previously planned 2028 timeline, Bloomberg reported. Also, see – Nektar Therapeutics Is Up 150%: What's Happening With NKTR Stock? While this policy shift represents a positive development for solar companies like Enphase, the relief may be more modest than it appears. The potential extension of tax credits addresses only one piece of a complex puzzle facing the solar energy industry. As highlighted in our previous analysis, Enphase Energy continues to grapple with multiple structural challenges that extend beyond tax policy. The company's recovery will likely require a convergence of favorable conditions, including improvements in net metering policies and access to more affordable financing options as interest rates potentially decline. If the proposed tax credit changes are finalized, solar stocks including Enphase could see their recent rally continue in the near term. However, investors should recognize that sustainable growth for the company will depend on addressing the broader array of operational and market challenges that have weighed on the solar sector. The current situation underscores the importance of monitoring both policy developments and fundamental business metrics when evaluating solar energy investments in this evolving regulatory environment. In fact, regulatory risk is just a small part of risk assessment framework we apply while constructing the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio which, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming the S&P 500 over the last 4-year period. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
