Fit Review Friday! Lululemon Luxtreme Slim Fit Pull On Mid Rise Cropped Pant, Frank and Eileen Relaxed Button Up Shirt
Happy Friday! So glad it's finally the weekend. Today's fit review Friday is a mix of Frank & Eileen and Lululemon. Frank & Eileen is slowly becoming one of my favorite brands while Lululemon has been dialing back a bit.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 in Lululemon and size XS in Frank & Eileen.
Eileen Relaxed Button Up Shirt Size XS
I'm a huge fan of Frank & Eileen's Relaxed Button Up Shirts, especially in their Italian Cashmere Touch fabric. There isn't actually any cashmere in it, but it feels like it's a cashmere blend. It's super soft, cozy and warm. I'm wearing size XS and the fit is generous. For a more fitted look, I would recommend sizing down. The length is shorter in the front and slightly longer in the back. I have worn these as a casual layer to the office.
What I really love about Frank & Eileen's clothes, is you can throw everything in the washing machine and dryer. The clothes will come out looking and feeling brand new. It's actually quite impressive. The only downside is the price. I'll usually wait for their semi-annual sale and snag a couple of pieces for 40% off. There is a sale happening right now, but sizes do sell out pretty quickly.
I finally received my Lululemon order for the Luxtreme Slim Fit Pull On Mid Rise Cropped Pant. Some reviews said the fit was very similar to On The Fly Pants, but ran small. Instead of my usual size 4, I went with size 6 which was a mistake. They're too big and loose throughout. I should have stuck with size 4.
(on sale $59)
On The Fly Pants were more flattering. The pant leg on these are too wide, especially at the ankles. The length measures 24 inches long so they are very petite friendly.
I would have preferred a slimmer pant leg.
The drawcord is on the inside of the waistband, which I really like. I'm getting tired of traditional drawstrings.
The fabric feels very sleek and cool to the touch. The fabric is stretchy and feels mid weight. If the fit was closer to On The Fly Pants, I would have kept them. I debated on exchanging them for a size 4, but I think the leg opening would still be too wide. Did anyone here try a pair? If so, did you like them?
That's it for me! Lots of sales happening right now. Athleta is having 30% off and I'm trying to not look too hard. 😅 Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! If you're on a no-buy challenge with me, stay strong!

Hi Janessa! I'm glad she loves them!! You're such a good daughter!
DeleteHi Leslie! Thank you for the fit review! I think the pants would look more polished if the legs were more tapered. They do look very comfortable on you and could be good for casual weekends. The marked down price is very reasonable. It's too bad that these aren't available in Canada!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Yes, a more tapered leg would have been so much better. I wonder why Canada didn't get these. That's so strange!
DeleteI've been eyeing these for a while but was nervous about the sizing and length. I think I'll pass after your review - thank you! Cropped pants always hit at a weird place on me and just make me feel like I look even shorter. (My bf says I am short and nothing makes me look more or less, lol.) I have yet to try the Daydrift line, but I might...
ReplyDeleteHah! You're welcome. On the Fly Crops will always be my favorite. Nothing has come close to those.
