Jumping into the thick of it with lululemon’s Lunar New Year Wunder Puff Cropped Vest. Priced at £198, it’s a bit of a dent in the wallet, but let’s unpack why it might just be worth your hard-earned cash.
The vest comes in a stunning Crimson colour, a real head-turner and a pleasant detour from your typical outerwear shades. It’s available in sizes UK 4 to 24, offering a range that’ll suit many of us who are all about that perfect fit.
Now, this isn’t just any vest – it’s a gilet-style piece designed for both the outdoors and on-the-go lifestyles. Ideal for those days when you want to keep your core warm without the bulk of a full jacket. The 600-fill-power goose down provides excellent insulation, and guess what? It’s all certified to the Responsible Down Standard. We love an eco-conscious moment!
The vest’s features are where it really shines. The cinchable hem allows you to adjust the fit to your liking – snug or loose, it’s your call. Plus, the removable hood adds versatility, making it adaptable to whatever the day throws at you.

Storage? Sorted. Zippered hand pockets come with a nifty hidden phone sleeve, and the interior pockets are perfect for stashing your essentials. The relaxed fit means you can easily layer it over a chunky sweater without feeling restricted.
Speaking of fit, the cropped length adds a modern twist to the vest. It’s stylish enough to pair with leggings for a casual day out or even your favourite jeans for a brunch date.
The vest’s SoftMatte fabric is water-repellent and windproof, making it a solid choice for unpredictable weather. It’s also made with recycled polyester from repurposed plastic waste, which is a big plus for sustainability.
In terms of care, similar to its jacket counterpart, it requires a bit of attention – think tumble drying low with tennis balls and washing inside out. But it’s a small price to pay for maintaining this beauty.

In a nutshell, the lululemon Lunar New Year Wunder Puff Cropped Vest is a stylish, functional, and environmentally considerate piece. It’s a splurge, sure, but for a vest that combines fashion with practicality, it might just be a worthy addition to your wardrobe. Visit the lululemon website here now to shop.
