Fit Review Friday! Lightweight Foldover Waist Jogger, Hood Lite Relaxed Fit Jacket, Hotty Hot HR Short 2.5 inch
Happy Friday! It feels like it's been awhile since I had a proper Lululemon fit review. Today's review was surprising for me. I actually liked the Lightweight Foldover Waist Jogger and the Hood Lite Relaxed Fit Jacket. But did I like them enough to hand over my credit card? 😆
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 in Lululemon. I'm still trying to figure out the letter sizing and it's kind of been all over the place, especially in today's review! Also, lots of accessories popped up on WMTM today. It's worth checking out.
Initially I wasn't crazy about the fabric as it is made out of nylon fabric shell, but the foldover waist feels like Nulu. It's really soft and comfortable. The jogger is lined in lightweight Swift fabric. I love the color. Mauve Gray looks really pretty, it's a very pale lavender-gray. Since it is lined, this would be a great transitional jogger.
Fit is slightly oversized and baggy in the pant leg, but it's on trend with today's streetwear. The fabric is a bit wrinkly, which I don't love. I'm wearing size XS and it runs large. The waist is very roomy, but that's also why it's super comfy. These are full length joggers, but it wasn't terribly long since the cuff is loose at the ankle and the extra fabric drapes well. For the price of $128, I decided to pass. But if these became available at a nice marked down price, I might reconsider. What do you think of these joggers?
Next up, we have the Hood Lite Relaxed Fit Jacket. When I felt the fabric of this jacket, it made me curious enough to try it on. It feels soooo lightweight and I would describe it as tissue-thin. It would be perfect for rainy days in Hotlanta. It's water repellant and wind resistant.
Hood Lite Relaxed Fit Jacket Size XXXS
I'm wearing size XXXS. Yes, you read that right. I told you, the sizing is wild! I've never been an XXXS in my life. At least not in Lululemon. 😅 Fit is comfortable since it is relaxed. Length of the jacket hits at the hip. The sleeve length was only a tad too long, but I'm not going to complain about it. Not super crazy about the drawstrings at the waist.
I love the color, but I wish they had more neutral colors to choose from. Most of the color choices are bright or pastel.
Love the dual entry pockets on this jacket. Snap closures at the top and zippered pockets on the side.
Overall, I really like this jacket. Price is $128 which I think is fair. Not great, but okay. My only concern is how thin the fabric feels. I wonder if it would get damaged easily. I would definitely consider getting one on markdown. I hate carrying umbrellas and I feel like this would be a good alternative!
Last but not least we have another pair of Hotty Hot Shorts in Mauve Gray. I am really obsessed with this color but the shorts did not "wow" me.
I think the color looks a little drab against my skin tone. I'm sure the terrible lighting in the fitting room didn't help. I'm wearing my usual size 4. I think the Lightweight Foldover Joggers looked more flattering because it was full length. The color just doesn't look great next to my pale skin. In the end I walked out with nothing!
That's all for me today, hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

(I just reviewed this. Much better price for it, but still wouldn't buy again!)
(Ohhhh now this I may be tempted to get. I love the mauve pink with gold hardware. 😍)
Hi Leslie. This is off topic but i was looking at your old reviews of the vuori halo performance hoodie 2.0 vs the OG. Interestingly enough, you said the 2.0 was a tad longer but I was told by a vuori employee that the redesigned version is supposed to be slightly shorter. From looking at your picture and comparing them, they look pretty much the same length on you. Do you own both versions? Cindy
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! I no longer have either of those hoodies. I prefer the Modern Full Zip. I didn't like the fitted sleeves on the 2.0 and OG. The modern hoodie is more roomy.

The Modern Full Zip is also shorter in length.
DeleteThanks Leslie. But do you remember if the OG was longer than the 2.0? I was curious about the modern too. I’m moving away from tight clothing. However there is a colour in the performance hoody called shade heather that I’m in love with
DeleteIt was a long time ago. I think the 2.0 was a little longer? But fairly similar in length TBH.
DeleteI had completely passed over both the Foldover Waist Jogger and the Hood Lite Jacket until I saw your reviews. I kind of like them both now! Do the pants make the swishy noise when you move? I don't think I'd pay regular price for either of those items, but I would possibly check them out on markdown.
ReplyDeleteHi Lola! I was surprised too. I've added both to my cart and hope they go on markdown. I didn't notice a swishy noise when I tried them on, but if there is, it's probably minimal.
DeleteI didn’t like the joggers when I first saw them in store, but they are growing on me! They look super comfy.
ReplyDeleteI did end up getting Dark Red Align 6” shorts this week. I couldn’t pass up Dark Red and now am on the lookout for a bra. We also got in a Dark Red cropped Define, Hotty Hot, Love Crew, Align 4” short, Scuba, and Adapted State Joggers.
Hi LZ! I was in the same mindset. Didn't like it when I saw it online, but in person it's much better. They're super comfy.
DeleteI love Dark Red, but I can't seem to pull it off. Maybe I could do it in a pair of shorts. I don't see the shorts online yet, but will keep an eye out!
I love Dark Red - and think it looks great on every skin tone. I'm as pale as it gets and still love it. Hopefully everything releases online tomorrow. We tend to get a few things early in-store, and they are already sold out!
DeleteThat's a good point. I'll give it another try!
