Happy Friday! Athleta's Smoky Rose (in Seasoft) is probably at the top of my favorite colors ever! I have Seasoft in parenthesis because it looks very different compared to the Pranayama Restore Wrap (it looks more brown than purple). That is a bummer because I was totally going to buy it in the wrap.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 in Lululemon bottoms.
Seasoft Short Smoky Rose Size XS
(on sale $45!)
I'm wearing size XS and it's true to size. It looks exactly like the models on the site. That said, the front and side profile looks very flattering. However it doesn't do anything for my backside. Makes it look a bit flat, which is fine since I wear a lot of longer tops when I wear shorts, so most of my bum is covered anyway.
Waistband is super comfortable and hits below my belly button. Seasoft fabric is extremely soft and cozy. Adjustable drawstring at the waist and has pockets!
I loved the shorts so much I bought them in the Seasoft Straight Pant. I purchase size PXS. Everything fits, except the length is too long. Inseam measures 28 inches. I'm debating on getting them hemmed. The color is even prettier than Taupetastic!
Below is Taupetastic in the back, and Smoky Rose in the front. It is hard to capture the colors together. Taupetastic is more of a brown while Smoky Rose is more purple/mauve. It's super pretty!
Athleta is currently having a sale on select items. These shorts are currently on sale for $45!
That's it for me, hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteI have to agree Smoky Rose (Seasoft) is super pretty in person but Taupetastic is more neutral and goes with pretty much any color. :)
I'm wondering if Athleta only carries black and navy in the Brooklyn Mid Rise Ankle Pant. Every time a new color comes out, it's not available in size XXSP. It can't be sold out that fast. :(
Andrea
Hi Andrea! I show the Brooklyn Ankle Pant available in the US in size 00Petite. We do not have it in the letter sizing. Is the sizing different in Canada? Wonder if that's what they are moving towards.
DeleteSorry Leslie, I should say size 00Petite which is always not available except in black and navy.
DeleteAndrea
Gotcha, I think the 00P sells out super fast because they don't make that many in that size.
DeleteThanks for the color comparison. I'm definitely on Team Smoky Rose! None of the items in that color are on sale on the Canadian site though. Are you going to get the Seasoft Pants hemmed (thanks for letting us know what the inseam is, btw), or are you going to wait and see if it gets released in the crop?
ReplyDeleteHi Lola! It's so hard to tell if they will release this in the cropped version. I hope they will. But if I don't see it in the next couple of weeks, I'll get this one hemmed.
DeleteI’m interested in trying checking out their sea soft items but their closest store to me closed so returns and trying on is a hassle -Janessa
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you have held out for so long! I love their Seasoft items. I love their Seasoft pants the best if you're going to try one item.
