Happy Friday! This is the last fit review for 2023. I'm going to wrap up the year with a list of my favorite items and items I wish I didn't purchase.
Let's get to it! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta. I also wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.
Seasoft Bubble Hem Hoodie Black Size XXS
This Seasoft Bubble Hem Hoodie is super cute on. Like the name, it really is a bubble hem hoodie. The hem at the waist is fitted and slightly stretchy to give it a tucked in bubble-like effect. I'm wearing size XXS and it fits slightly oversized. I think a petite XS would look slightly more flattering and proportional on my frame but it's so cute, I can't really complain. The Seasoft fabric is soft, and similar to Lululemon's Softstreme fabric. I really love both but Athleta is slightly easier on the wallet. This top retails for $99. I did end up bringing this home with me and I also ordered it in Abalone Gray.
Seasoft Straight Pant Aspen Olive Size XXS
I'm a huge fan of Athleta's Seasoft Straight Pant and when I saw this newly released green/gray color I picked it up right away. It does look similar to Lululemon's Dark Forest. Aspen Green is slightly darker with gray undertones. The lighting in the fitting room isn't the best and it looks closest to the first and last photo.
I'm wearing size XXS and I was surprised that it's full length on me. The inseam is 25 inches long and perfect! This also came home with me as well. I've already worn it to the office. Between you and me, they feel like I'm wearing pajamas. 😅 I wish Athleta would release these pants in a true gray. Retail price is $89, which isn't bad at all compared to Lululemon's Softstreme pants cost a minimum of $118 or $89 on WMTM if you can find one in stock.
This is the most accurate representation of the color.
Jetset Bomber Abalone Gray Size XS
This bomber caught my eye in Abalone Gray. I think this would be more flattering in petite sizing. I'm wearing size XS and it is a bit too long on my frame. This jacket IS available in petite sizing, which is great news. I have a very similar jacket in black from Athleta, so I left this behind.
I love all the ruffles and side zip detail. It's a light to medium weight jacket with a stow away hood. If you're in the market for a new bomber, this gets my pick.
That's it for me! Hope you all have a wonder holiday weekend and I'll see you all on Boxing Day!

Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fit review! Quite often hot Athleta items were already sold out in my size by the time your review was up but this time I’m glad I managed to get hold of the Jetset Bomber early enough lol. Don’t wait to risk having my size sold out on Boxing Day so I went ahead to place an order right away.
Not sure if size XS or XXS would fit me better so I ordered both sizes. I’m a sucker for styles with ruchings and just can’t resist to give the Jetset Bomber a try! Will let you know if I like it.

Hi Andrea! Yay! Glad you were able to get one to try. Which color did you go for?
DeleteI ordered both Black and Abalone Grey to try on. Will very likely keep the Abalone Grey one if it looks nice on me!
DeleteAndrea
I would go with Abalone Grey too. Can't wait to hear what you think!
DeleteHi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteMy order arrived and I love the Jetset Bomber in Abalone Grey! Black is nice too but Abalone Grey is prettier. The XXS fits too short on me and I will be keeping size XS. Slightly roomy but that is how I like it to fit. :)

Hi Andrea, nice! I love the Abalone Grey. If I didn't already have one in black from a couple of years ago I would be getting it too. Such a pretty jacket. <3
