It's been a little while since I covered Vuori items. The Granite Cropped Hoodie is a fit request and it's currently on sale in Cerise Heather. I was very interested in trying the Restore Oversized Hoodie. It just looks so cozy and soft.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically size XS in Vuori. Size PXS in Athleta and size 4 in Lululemon tops.
I'm wearing size XS and while it fits true to size, I would actually prefer a size small in this hoodie, and I'll tell you why. The length of the hoodie hits lower on my hip and the band on the hem is a bit tight when zipped up. The sleeves are just slightly too long, but they aren't long enough to complain about.
When unzipped, the hoodie is perfectly fine. But I like to zip my hoodies up comfortable, so I would suggest sizing up if you're interested in this hoodie. Unless you happen to have a very long torso then your regular size might be okay.
It's a light to medium weight hoodie and while the fabric is very soft, it is also thicker than my beloved Performance Joggers. Since the fit was off for me, I returned this hoodie.
Next up, we have the Restore Oversized Hoodie in Mallorca. I'm wearing size XXS.
Restore Oversized Hoodie Mallorca Size XXS
This hoodie is thick! It's heavy weighted fabric that will keep you warm for colder temperatures. I wasn't expecting it to be so thick. The length is long even in size XXS. It has full coverage on my petite frame.
Not a fan of the huge patch with Vuori on the bottom corner.
Sleeves are very long. One other thing I wasn't a fan of? There are no kangaroo pockets! For $134, would it have really killed them to have added pockets in the front?! That said, this piece is very high quality. I think the quality on this hoodie surpasses any other Vuori item I own.
This is made of soft French Terry fabric. It feels brushed on the outside.
I love the oversized look, I think it's super cute. At times, I did think the length felt a tad too long on my frame. Towards the end of the shoot, I found myself rolling the hem up a bit, as you can see in the below picture.
I ended up returning this, because it's just too heavy for Atlanta weather. I don't think I would have reached for this too much because of that. Also, no pockets?! Kind of a dealbreaker for me there, especially for the price. No keepers for me today.
That's my review! Let me know what you think of these two Vuori pieces. Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

Thank you for doing the fit review on the granite hoody! The restore hoody looks so cozy. I'm glad the granite hoody is on sale in that color. Seemed a bit overpriced for that piece.

Hi Cindy! I was surprised at how much that hoodie was. The Restore Hoodie is very thick, it will keep you warm!
DeleteThe Restore hoodie looks so cosy, perfect for Canadian winters (except this year). It’s definitely oversized!
ReplyDeleteHi AC! It is very oversized. I would suggesting sizing down as long as you're not sized out.
DeleteHi Leslie. Just revisiting your review on the granite hoodie. It’s on sale but I missed out on the xs. Do you think the small would work for me because I generally take one size down from you for most tops because i lack muscle and boobs lol. I wish they would make more colors in that hoodie and hope it won’t be discontinued. Cindy
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, I think you would prefer the XS, since I would prefer the small. If you don't mind an oversized look you could try the small, but it would be big on you.
DeleteThank you so much. I think you’re right. My halo crew arrived today in the xs and it’s oversized on me. So sad. I think I’m sized out for most items as xxs is sold out in all the colors I like. I’m keeping the crew though. It’s so comfy and soft and I hate returning stuff.
