Fit Review! Sweaty Betty Cool It Hoodie Charcoal Marl

 


Hope everyone had a nice weekend! This review is long overdue. As you can tell the background is gray, which means these photos were taken over a month ago. Ever since I bought the Sweaty Betty Essentials Sweatshirt, I've been meaning to try their hoodies. I saw the Cool It Hoodie on sale and I decided to pull the trigger. 

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and I'm wearing size XXS in Sweaty Betty. I also wear a size 4 in Lululemon tops.

Sweaty Betty Cool It Hoodie Charcoal Marl Size XXS
(Currently sold out, but the Essentials Zip Through Hoodie is very similar.)


Also wearing Lululemon Align Crops - (similar print here.)

What really caught my eye with this hoodie is the rose gold zipper. I don't know if you all remember the Lululemon Scuba Hoodie in Heathered Bark Berry with the rose gold zipper? I was so sad when I grew out of it. 😆 Gimme anything rose gold! I'm wearing size XXS and it's still a little bit oversized on me, but I am loving the look of it. So far I've been very pleased with Sweaty Betty's quality. This is my second piece and I'm giving it 4.5 stars. I knocked off half a star because this is hand wash only. 😕


Sleeves are long, but that's always the case with being petite. This is a medium weight hoodie and the fabric is very smooth, almost feels like a neoprene blend. I love the pockets, they're very deep. The length hits at my hip. 


I definitely want to try their Essentials Hoodie and Essentials Zip through hoodie next. I picked out a few pieces that are going on my wish list. I do with Sweaty Betty had more color selection like Lululemon though. That may be my only gripe with Sweaty Betty. Thankfully the Essentials line is machine washable. Right now there's a 25% off coupon with code SB1YEAR.

That's it for me! Have a fabulous Monday!

  1. Hi Leslie! I really like the rose gold hardware on this zip-up hoodie and the length is great! I like that the sleeves are not as long as Lululemon's Soft Oversized Zip Hoodie. I usually like neoprene fabrics. It's too bad that this hoodie is not machine washable. If I had this hoodie, I'd be tempted to throw it in a laundry bag and wash on delicate cycle.

    1. I was considering throwing it into a laundry bag and but it on the delicate cycle.... I just hope it doesn't lose the shape. I'll think on it!

  2. Karen said exactly what I was going to say! :D. The hoodie is really cute on you and I love the rose gold hardware which goes well with gray. Also loving the neoprene fabric but “hand wash only” is a deal breaker for me.

    1. Hand wash is a pain! So I totally get it. It's just too cute to pass up. I'll have to consider the delicate cycle... I'll think about it! =D

  4. That jacket is a perfect cut for you! I used to buy SB stuff but then I always liked my LLL more... it always ran oversized. This was before cropped everything was a trend and before they stocked XXS in more than a few items. So maybe I'll try again sometime.

    1. Agree 100% if there wasn't size XXS, I wouldn't bother with Sweaty Betty, I've learned they run large.

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in.
