Headline writers turn Lululemon’s yoga pants into lemonade

Lululemon shares were down this morning after the yoga-apparel maker announced yesterday that some of its pants are see-through due to a supplier mistake.

Lululemon shares were down this morning after the yoga-apparel maker announced yesterday that some of its pants are see-through due to a supplier mistake. The company says the fabric issue could impact as much as 17 percent of its stock and reduce first quarter sales by about $10 million.

But if there is a silver lining to their see-through scandal, its the headlines offered by today’s coverage. See our favorites below:
