Fit Review Friday! Lululemon Softstreme HR Short 4", Softstreme Full Zip Hoodie, Softstreme Straight Leg Cropped Pant
Happy Friday! It's also officially summer! Even though it is very warm out, I still like to wear my Softstreme pieces when I'm at the office and there's nothing but free AC all day long. 😅 Which is why I couldn't resist placing my order for three new pieces in Taupetastic!
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and 4/6 in Lululemon bottoms. I like to size up for their pants.
This is my second pair of Softstreme High Rise Short. My first pair was black and I did wear them quite often, so I decided to get a second pair. These are super comfortable, especially when you size up. I'm at the age where I do not like tight clothing anymore. 😌
I still think these look flattering even in a casual fit.
Oh, I should mention I was working with very tricky lighting when I took these photos. They look more pink than they should. But I assure you the color is the most beautiful mocha brown with pink undertones. Itt is more brown than pink. It's such a gorgeous neutral.
Remember when I tried this hoodie in black and I returned it because it looked so frumpy? Here's the review in case you want to see it again. I decided I love Taupetastic too much and gave this hoodie another try. I think it still looks a bit bulky when zipped up, but it looks so good unzipped.
(This photo is probably the most accurate in color.)
I just love how nicely it drapes from the side and back!
I am wearing a size 2 in this hoodie and it's a very comfortable fit. It's slightly oversized on me, but still looks good. This matching set really brings me back to 2005 when I used to wear Juicy tracksuits! 🙈
What do you think? Matching set- yay or nay?
I lost track with how many Softstreme and Seasoft bottoms I have. I have a lot. But I do wear them all the time and I am still eyeing Athleta's version of Taupetastic - Smoky Rose. I am hoping I can show a comparison between the two colors soon!
Funny enough, I am actually wearing these pants as I type this up. I did notice these are not as wide leg as some of my other pairs. This one tapers a bit at the bottom which I prefer. These are not as baggy on me as my Navy pair that I bought a couple of years ago. I just love these pants so much that I am willing to pay full price.
What do you all think of Taupetastic? I think it's a top favorite color of mine from Lululemon. That's it for me! Enjoy your first official summer weekend!

I see the appeal of the Taupetastic color but I couldn’t bring myself to go for it when I had the chance, I went with good old boring black 😔
ReplyDeleteI am really getting in board with this matching sets idea as well! I like how there is no thought process required to coordinate top and bottoms 😅
Hi AC! I am the opposite, I can't really do black because of my 4 cats. One is orange and his fur will just get all over black like crazy.
DeleteYes! I love not having to think about what colors work together or not. Matching sets is great for getting dressed fast!
Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteYou’re lucky that the Softstreme High Rise Straight Leg Cropped Pants fit like regular pants on you! I’m hoping Athleta’s new Seasfort Straight Leg Pant in petite sizing will work for me.
I dropped by a LLL store this morning, tried on the Always Effortless Jacket in beautiful Taupetastic and brought it home with me! I sized up to size 4 for a longer body and sleeve length, and I don’t mind the slightly oversized fit. Very happy with my purchase! :)

Hi Andrea! I am guessing the regular pant will fit you and it won't work for me. It'll probably be too long, my guess is the inseam will be 28 inches. But I love the color so much I pre ordered just in case.
DeleteI'm glad you got it! Taupetastic is such a gorgeous color. Congrats!
I love the matching set on you! The cropped pants fit you perfectly

Hi Janessa! They really do, it's as close to petite sizing as Lulu gets!
