Fit Review Friday! Lululemon Scuba Oversized Waffle Full Zip Hoodie and Scuba High Rise Waffle Short 5 inch
Happy Friday! Got to try on the Waffle Full Zip Hoodie over the weekend along with the shorts. I'm not a fan of this style shorts, but grabbed it because I liked the color. The store only had the Heathered Graphite Gray in the hoodie.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon. I also wear size PXS in Athleta.
I'm wearing size small in these shorts and they are a little too big. They didn't have size XS. I guess the waffle line is popular because sizing was very limited for these items. The waffle knit fabric felt a little too heavy for shorts in my opinion. Definitely felt high waisted on me and the inseam is 5 inches, which is much too long for my petite frame. I knew going in I wasn't going to like the shorts.
However, I did love the hoodie! It's very soft and the inside is lined. The weight is thinner and less heavy than the regular version and it's softer, and more pliable. It has a nice drape. It's a great transitional hoodie, for that in between summer and fall weather. I mentioned I had a Splendid waffle hoodie about 15 years ago that I loved to shreds, well this Lululemon hoodie is close. It's not as thin as the Splendid one, but it's just as soft. It was this exact shade of gray too!
I'm wearing size XS/S and I really like the fit. I do not love the price at $148. I wonder if these will make it to WMTM? I would go for the Graphite Gray or Warm Ash Gray, honestly I'll take either one! What do you think? Get it now, or wait and see if it goes on markdown?
That's it for me. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

(I have had this in my cart ever since it was released! Do I get this or wait get the waffle hoodie instead?)
The Scuba Oversized Waffle Full Zip Hoodie looks really cute on you, Leslie! I did try on the original Scuba Oversized Waffle Full Zip Hoodie and find the sleeves way too long and bulky. I’m wondering if the thinner waffle version will fit better.
ReplyDeleteIf I were you, I would go for the waffle hoodie in Ash Warm Grey. I got the regular fit Scuba Hoodie in this gorgeous neutral color and really love it!

Hi Andrea! I would definitely give this new waffle hoodie a try. I didn't find the sleeves to be too long or bulky. I think I'm going to get it in the Warm Ash Gray! Thanks 😊
DeleteI heard the waffle fabric is delicate? Saw someone on Reddit who’s hoodie was fuzzing when her belt bag strap rubbed on it 🤦🏻♀️
ReplyDeleteI was also thinking of buying the full zip hoodie until I read her review and saw the photo.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I wonder if this has happened to anyone else or if it was a one off. I will wait and see if there are more reviews of this happening before I buy.
DeleteI like the Waffle version of the Scuba Oversized Full-Zip Hoodie much better than the original fleece version on you. The fabric looks like it drapes better and I really like the fit of it on you. I kind of want one too now, lol! I would definitely be interested in the pants as well if they were available in a shorter inseam. Lulu, just do petite sizing already!
ReplyDeleteHi Lola! Totally agree, the waffle is not as bulky. I am debating on getting the gray and warm ash gray and rehome two of my fleece versions.
DeleteI like the waffle line and hopes it makes it to WMTM. My top picks are the funnel neck 1/2 zip and pants in the light grey. They are so, so soft but also so, so expensive!
ReplyDeleteHi LZ! I hope so too, but I'm not sure it will because the stores have sold out of most sizes pretty quickly. At least the store I went to. I may have to bite the bullet and buy and rehome some of my other hoodies.
