Lululemon Athletica

Lululemon excels at what once seemed an anomaly: Work-out clothes that are functional and comfortable, yet chic. The beloved Canadian export aims to better the lifestyle of its customers, from the inspirational manifesto printed on its shopping bags ("do one thing a day that scares you," etc.) to its community involvement, including complimentary in-store yoga classes.
