Fit Review Friday! Define Jacket Velour, LA Cropped Long Sleeve Shrug, Non-Stop Bomber Jacket & Guest Review Hooded Radiant Jacket

 

Happy Friday! We're halfway into the month and Christmas is just 8 days away. I remember as a kid it would feel forever between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now the time between Halloween and Christmas feels like a few weeks. It's so mind boggling to me. Hope you're all ready, this is a pretty long post, so make yourself comfortable! 

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops.

I couldn't pass up this gorgeous velour holiday edition Define Jacket. Plus it also has dark purple and gray colors which are my favorite shades to wear. I do see some hints of blue as well. It's definitely 90% purple to me though. The velour is so nice and soft to touch, I keep wanting to just pet the sleeves. Even though this jacket is fitted I would still say it is true to size because it does have a bit of stretch to it. I am only wearing an Ebb To Street Crop Tank underneath which is how I prefer to wear fitted jackets. 

I think this jacket is versatile and can be worn even after the holidays. It's a little dark for spring but can be pulled off as a layering piece. I think it would look great with a White Opal colored vest.

I don't usually like anything snug around my neck, so I wouldn't wear it fully zipped up but would like to show the full jacket in all it's glory. It's slightly tight on me but it doesn't feel too tight because of the stretch. What do you think of this jacket? Is it a keeper? I'm honestly surprised this hasn't sold out. It's fully stocked! I think it's gorgeous in person. The photos on the website do not do it justice.

Next up we have the LA Cropped Long Sleeve Shrug in White Opal. It looked so good on the model I wanted to see if it was as cute in person. I sized down since it looked like a casual fit. I did roll up the cuff once in these photos since the sleeves are very long. From the front, the shoulders and arms are loose and not too flattering.

The side profile looks best but from the back, it's pretty awful. It has such a weird cut and I can't help but think this is something I would see at Target for $12.99. This is French Terry fabric and it is not soft at all. Not sure what Lululemon is thinking charging $88 for this! It looked like it had so much potential from the pics online. 😐

It's been a few years since I tried on the Non-Stop Bomber Jacket. If you're curious, here's my old review from 2017. I can't believe it's already been 4 years since I tried it on. I went with a size 2 but I think my shoulders have definitely gotten bigger with my new focus on upper body the past year and a half, so I should have stuck with my usual size 4 in this jacket. It's just slightly tight by the armpits. Stick to your normal size on this one.

This side is made of water repellent Glide fabric. It has some crinkled texture to it and feels a little papery.  I am a fan of the bomber jacket as it reminds me of the 80s and early 90s. 😅 This is a semi fitted jacket with a reversible puffer side. It's insulated with PrimaLoft and very lightweight. The color rover reminds me of Gray Sage. It's a green/taupe shade that I really love.

The reverse side reminds me of puffer jackets. I can't decide which look I like more? Maybe the puffer side just a teensy bit more than the bomber side. There is a slight sheen which I really like. It looks sharp. This is a light weight jacket and probably perfect for temperatures in the 50s if not layering. 

Last but not least we have a special guest fit review from Andrea! She sent me these gorgeous photos of her wearing the updated Hooded Radiant Jacket in Cassis. Here are her comments.

"I’m 5’3” wearing a size 2. My first impression is that the fabric is softer and much lighter than the original Radiant Jacket and feels like the Scuba Light material. I’ve always found my Radiant Jackets to be a bit stiff and don’t mind the softer material. Just hope it’s just as warm.

They haven’t changed the fit much except that the neck is more fitted unlike the original funnel neck. When I put the jacket on, the sleeves did feel shorter than the original Radiant Jacket. I’ve placed the Hooded one on top of the original one for comparison. The body length stays pretty much the same.

Overall speaking, I love the soft feel and the fit of the Hooded Radiant Jacket. Cassis is gorgeous even though I wish it was more purple than burgundy. My only concern is color facing. I tend to stay away from dark sold colors cos they don’t stay as nice as the heathered ones after a few washes."

Thank you so much Andrea for your review and photos!
