Fit Review Friday! Hold Tight Long Sleeve Henley, Define Jacket, Alpaca Wool Blend Cardigan Sweater, Hold Tight Thin Racerback Tank
Happy Friday! Dropped by the store to see what's new and couldn't believe they had the Define Jacket in Twilight Rose! 😍 I had to do a store try-on.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 in Lululemon tops.
This is the first time trying the Hold Tight line and the fabric is ridiculously soft. Have you ever walked around Target lately and touched toddler clothes? They always feel super soft and I've said more than once to anyone in earshot, "I wish they would make clothes this soft for adults!" Well, someone that worked for Lululemon must have heard me because this feels exactly like that. I wish I discovered this line sooner! I decided to size up to a 6 and love the fit. It's fitted, don't get me wrong, but it's very comfortable in size 6. The fabric is soft and has a lot of stretch. It also has super fine ribbing. I wasn't crazy about the curved hemline, otherwise I really liked this henley.
Next, the color and hardware combo that everyone has been waiting for, Twilight Rose with rose gold hardware! I'm wearing my usual size 6 in Define Jackets and it fits like a glove.
The color is amazing, I love Twilight Rose and I think it's pink enough that it doesn't look like my skin tone. Not the case here, plus the rose gold hardware makes it all okay! I love Define Jackets, but I never reach for them because of how fitted they are. I'll just have to admire this one from afar. Plus, the length is just a tad too long on my short torso.
The alpaca isn't as soft as I would have wanted it to be. It still feels a little bit rough, just a little bit scratchy for me. It would be fine if you were to wear this with a long sleeve layer underneath, but I tend to run hot and usually prefer to wear a tank or a short sleeve tee.
Last but not least, I grabbed the Hold Tight Thin Racerback Tank off the sales rack. This is on markdown for $34. I ended up taking this home with me. It will be perfect to layer under my cardigans, as you see in the photo above. The hemline is straight across, which I prefer.
This is a very fitted tank and I'm wearing size 6. Super comfy, super soft. For $34 and in Taupetastic? Yes, please! The neckline is not too low. I may need to get a couple more in different colors, I can already tell this would be a staple in my closet.

Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteI’ve said it before I just love your store try-on reviews!
The Define Jacket Twilight Rose/Rose Gold looks stunning but sadly Define is just not for me. Like you, the Define is just too fitted for my liking.
The Alpaca Wool Blend Cardigan Sweater is definitely scratchy and not as soft as expected. Too bad cos Glacier Lake is such a pretty color!

Hi Andrea! Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoy these kinds of posts. Wil l try and visit stores more often.
DeleteIt's okay, even though the Define isn't for either of us, we can admire it on others and I'm sure there will be other items that will suit is better. I'm looking forward to see what Lulu holiday items they have in store for us!
I like the twilight rose define a lot but I would just be curious about trying it on in store only. Too bad the alpaca cardigan is not super soft. I find most wool items to be a little scratchy

Hi Janessa! True, if it was a cashmere blend, it would have been soft. But then the price would probably be double! =T
