Happy Friday! First, before I get to the review, Mooncat is having their 20% off Lunar sale! It starts on 4/18. Use code LUNAR20. I do not get any commission or kickbacks from this brand, I just love them that much!
I went back to Anthropologie to see if they had any new Varley items to try on. I'm 100% sure that I need size XXS in their tops. For their bottoms, at least in the DoubleSoft fabric, I need a size small. The waistband is not very stretchy and it's a thicker waistband.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 in Lululemon and size PXS in Athleta.
I'm wearing size XS in the Halley Zip Through and I love the huge collar on the back, but the front by the waist is just very poofy. The length of the sleeves weren't terribly long, but I think if I could get my hands on size XXS, it would be even better. Unfortunately the store doesn't carry XXS, but it is available online!

By the way, if you haven't touched Varley's DoubleSoft fabric, it feels so cool and silky. I love it way more than Softstreme and Seasoft. I have a pair of their cuffed joggers which I love, but I really want to add a top. I think their styling is more elevated and sophisticated than Lululemon and Athleta. 😍
Next up, we have the Hawley Half Zip. I'm also wearing size XS. This pullover doesn't look as oversized as the Halley Zip Through. It also doesn't have the large oversized collar. I think I need to get the Catherine Half Zip Pullover which has the look I'm after. Or the Vine Half Zip Pullover would also work.

The Slim Pant 25" Ivory Marl Size Small
The body is more flattering but the collar just looks too small. You can't tell from the photos, but the matching set actually looks so much better in person. The Slim Pant is the perfect length, measuring 25 inches long.
The prices are slightly higher than Lululemon. Their pullovers range from $120 to $160. 😕 Which is why I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger, but I'm working myself up to it. Plus, it's getting a bit too warm for pullovers right now. What do you think? If you have some Varley pieces, let me know in the comments below if you think they're worth the price point. That's it for me! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

The Varley set is pretty with the gold zip! I do like the big collar better and I used to see Varley on sale a lot years ago… in random colors so I doubt you will get a full matching set… I’ve never tried just cause I didn’t think any fit could beat LLL and the extreme markdowns meant no returns either.
ReplyDeleteI’m supposed you like the Varley fabric more than Softstreme and seasoft! I will check out some items :D

Hi Janessa! Yes the fabric is so much nicer than Softstreme and Seasoft. I am obsessed with it. Only thing, the tops run large. Definitely size down! I will have to see if I can catch any of the items on sale.
