Fit Review Friday! Stretch Woven Wide-Leg High-Rise Cropped Pant & Scuba High-Rise Cropped Jogger WMTM Update!
Happy Friday! I feel like I should just do a fit review for all the cropped pants Lululemon offers for my fellow petites. I was curious to see how the Stretch Woven Wide-Leg HR Cropped Pant would look in person. I'm definitely feeling the 90s grunge vibe here. 😆
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon bottoms.
also wearing Ebb To Street Cropped Tank Size 6
These pants are WIDE! I am loving the side slit, it elevates the pant and makes it extra flowy. The length is quite long, and they are grazing the floor. The inseam measures a tad over 26 inches and the leg opening measures 13 inches wide.
The waistband does not have a lot of stretch and I did have to wiggle a bit to get it over my hips. It's snug on my waist, so I would say these run a bit small. I would want to size up for comfort. These would fit a size 2 for sure. I think a size small would be better for sizes 4 to 6. The inside of the waistband is lined with super soft Nulu. I kind of wish they would do that for everything!
The fabric is stretchy and has a crinkled look and feel without being wrinkly if that makes sense. They are very lightweight and perfect for spring/summer. I do think these pants have a beautiful drape and they are very stylish. I'm a fan of these but wish the waistband wasn't so tight. I think if I sized up, the length would be too long and I would have to get them hemmed. For $149, these have to be perfect, so back they went.
Next up, we have the Scuba HR Cropped Jogger. I've been meaning to try these as well and after I loved the Loungeful Cropped Jogger (read my review), I decided I needed to try these too.
The look and fit is very similar to the Loungeful High-Rise Cropped Jogger. The Scuba High-Rise Cropped Jogger has a slightly shorter inseam, measuring 24 inches in length vs 25 inches for the Loungeful High-Rise Jogger. The Scuba Cropped Jogger also feels exactly like the Scuba Hoodie in terms of fabric and weight. Actually, I take that back, the Scuba Jogger feels a little softer than my three Scuba Hoodies. I wonder if that's because it's heathered. The Loungeful Cropped Jogger looks more like a traditional sweatpant. It's lined with thick fleece on the inside and is meant for colder weather. The Scuba Cropped Jogger is breathable and more versatile in my opinion. The Scuba design is incorporated along the hip and outer thigh. Between the two joggers, I would reach for the Scuba Cropped Jogger more since it rarely gets very cold in Atlanta.
I am wearing size 6 in these and they are quite roomy in the hip and waist and I am able to pull these down a bit so the waistband hits my belly button. Super comfortable with an adjustable drawstring. I decided to keep these over the Loungeful Jogger! I hope Lulu will release these in more colors. I'm sad I slept on them for so long! I probably missed out on a bunch of fun colors. Price is $108 which is the same price as the Loungeful High-Rise Cropped Jogger. Both are great joggers and it all really comes down to what you would reach for more.
That's it for me! For those celebrating Mother's Day, I hope you all have a beautiful and loving weekend!

Finally! A pretty good update!
(This headband is my favorite!)
I tried the Scuba joggers also, and even living in PA in winter, I thought they were too warm, I felt like I would be sweaty wearing them around the house or sleeping in them. I prefer the weight of the Vuori joggers personally, but I'm glad you like them! You just convinced me to order those wide legs pants to try though! I'm here for the 90s JNCO vibes!
ReplyDeleteHi Mockginger! Vuori joggers will always be my favorite but sometimes they feel a little too thin for me during the winter. But they are my go to almost year round. Do let me know what you think of the wide leg pants! I will admit, I loved my JNCO's back in the day! =D
DeleteThe wide leg pants just came! I really love the fit of them, but I have wide hips and the pockets puckered out when I had them on. :( So for me, unfortunately they're a return. I wish they'd just add a zipper to the pocket so they would lay flat when not in use like Athleta does with a lot of their pants. Then they'd be perfect and worth the $150 price tag.
DeleteThat's unfortunate. I do like the option of added zippers on the pockets too. I don't see that too often on Lulu pants. At least you tried them! There will always be something else that will be perfect for you.
DeleteThanks for the review! I like the look of the pants but don't think I could pull them off. I'm just not that cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in the similar Cinchable Waist HR Woven Short, but $88 is a lot for a pair of shorts. They even come in xxxs!
Hi LZ! I did not notice those shorts come in XXXS! That's wild. I kinda love them in the Twilight Rose tho... maybe I'll get them for a review to see if they're worth the money!
DeleteI really like those wide leg pants! I agree with you though; they're stupid expensive.
ReplyDeleteThe Envital Bra arrived, and it's a hit. I'm right between a 4 and 6 in Lulu bras, and I went for a 4, and it fits very well. It's super-comfortable - to me, the fabric feels like Luxtreme, but slightly rougher (could be because of the recycled polyester). The straps are the perfect length (I find the straps on Lulu bras are often to long on me) and nothing digs. I haven't worked out in it yet, but it feels like a solid medium support to me. I got it in Magenta, and I'm going back for the Hawaiian Blue one too :)
Hi Lola! Oh nice, I'm glad the Envital Bra is a keeper. I'm glad they are still releasing bras at the $48 price range. I thought for sure $58 was their new minimum pricing for bras. I still need to try the Align V-Neck Bra. I think that one is next on my list to try.
DeleteThe wide leg pants look great on you ! Somewhat off topic , have you ever heard of or tried Wanakome hoodies ? It’s a Canadian brand and the style of some of their hoodies is reminiscent of the AN Ninja hoodie (which I bought because of your reviews and LOVE it) .
ReplyDeleteHi there! I have not heard of Wanakome hoodies before. I just looked at the website and I can see the resemblance. They have some cute stuff! I'm glad you are loving your AN Ninja hoodie. My fave is their zip up but the Ninja hoodie just looks so cool.
DeleteThe cropped Scuba Joggers fit perfectly on you! I love heathered core ultra light grey! That's my most reached for Scuba Oversized half zip color. The wide pants are really wide on the side and not something I'd reach for often but they do look fashionable! I think the wide pants look is in right now with cargos and sweats being super baggy paired with a form fitting top. I like that sort of look! :D
ReplyDeleteWow LLL's prices have gone up so much even the WMTM is not tempting me
Hi Janessa! I love the wide leg pant look too, very trendy but will probably go out of fashion again in a few years.
DeleteHonestly I have not shopped WMTM in a loooooong time. But I keep looking though!
Can you please do a review on the light weight mid rise barrel leg cropped pants? I like the ether green color. Thanks a bunch.
ReplyDeleteI'm heading to the store this weekend. I'll see if I can do a store review for you!
