Chic but plain
This is a chic and luxe basic but honestly if I didn’t know it was Jenny Kayne I would say it’s nothing special. But it’s super comfortable and versatile, and has good pockets. It runs a little large in the waist though, and if you put something heavy in the pocket like your phone it tugs down the waist.

A fine, comfy, bright boho summer dress. Nothing special. Relaxed fit so sizing is not difficult

Should not have sized up
Light Bridgerton vibes, in a good way Very cute dress but I should not have sized up - I wanted it to fit more relaxed and straight through the waist but the bust was too large and the neckline also too wide. I might try it is a smaller size.

Nice for work or weekend
Super comfortable, almost too casual but can be made polished with the right shirt and shoes. Thin parachute like material. Slightly low waist, or maybe runs a bit large.

Cute
This is very cute and drew lots of compliments. It’s a little heavy for a very hot day but would be good for fringe seasons. It’s true to size except that the sleeve hems are SO tight - honestly very very uncomfortable and needed to be adjusted constantly.

Scout in the front, kilt in the back
Very simple and chic, with a very nicely crisp collar. Once you iron it, it doesn’t wrinkle too easily which is a plus. It’s got a wide shape (boxy front, blousy/fluttery back) but it’s not all that short. The shoulders are fairly narrow so I wouldn’t size down for a closer fit - I sized up and I actually think the XS would be too narrow on my shoulders, assuming they are smaller.

Super cute
Very versatile - it says it’s satin but the material is super thin, but crisp, and I’d call it more of a taffeta. It’s got a bit of sheen but it’s not super shiny so it could easily be dressed up with a fancy top and heels for even a wedding, or just worn with sneakers and a t shirt. It has pockets and belt loops.

Navy
Every single week I try to rent black pants from RTR and they turn out to be NAVY. Shoot these pants so they look like the color they are!!!! These pants don’t even look like they have shred if navy in th in the picture, they look deep ink black. Also why does RTR basically not stock black pants? I’m going. To have to go through my entire Pants list and make a different list for navy pants because I basically have no interest in ever wearing navy, truly disgusting, pedestrian, conservative color.

Elevated sweatpants
These actually run rather small - the zero fit me but was snug and short, I would go with a 2 if I rented again. They're nice pants, but they do read quite fancy-sweatpants. The linen is an extremely coarse weave and then are a little more tan/beige than cream both of which make them lean a bit more casual than they otherwise would. I didn't really feel like the tailoring/construction of the waist and hip area was very good, they looked a bit wonky and I preferred to wear them with a longer top than with something that showed that area, but it might have looked better in that regard if I'd gotten the size up.

Nice but pedestrian and run VERY large
These are traditional tailored work pants - a straight to wide leg, medium to high rise. They run very large and I should have gotten the zero. They were ok with an oversized sweater that covered the waistband but they looked roomy in the waist an hips in a way that seemed designed to be more fitted. They hung a bit too low as a result, with the crotch hanging too low and this also made them a bit long - I could cinch the waist with a belt to improve this but that also didn’t look great so was only workable with a longer top.

Not too small for me but small for a 4
I ordered this in a large size because it was what was available and I wanted to wear it with a big sweater over it anyway, but it fit great - I would say this maybe runs a little small. The construction is very good with an invisible (ie sewn onto the interior) elastic waist and I could maybe have done the 2 because it was plenty big, but the waist fit smooth and flat enough that I could wear it with a shorter or tucked in shirt that showed the waist. It’s not a super narrow pencil skirt but it’s a bit straight especially through the hips so a size up was probably good for me (pear-shaped) for that reason.

Cute but not really for me
This was fine but nothing special. I like the shape of the sleeve but the length was slightly awkward to style and despite being mainly wool and mohair the fabric didn’t feel super luxe.

Fun voluminous pants
These are a very exaggerated shape - very genie vibes, parachute pants, there’s something almost military pilot about them. They’re true to size - only the waist is fitted and it’s a true high waist not an ultra high waist (just over belly button?).

Runs a bit small in the waist and long
This is a great skirt. It’s worn cotton which I think would work for summer (all but the hottest weather) but it’s got enough weight that it works with tights for cold weather. Runts true to size if not slightly small - I wear a zero or a 2 and the 2 fit snugly. It’s also quite long.

Great pants
I love these pants and I also like the tan ones - I wish they didn’t run so large because the smallest size is still just a little too big for me (and they’re never available). This material that is perfect for summer but I made the navy work for early spring.

Pretty color
This is a lovely color and shape - a solid winter option but I wasn’t overly wowed. It’s fairly thin or rather flat so it has a nice drape to it, more drapey than cushy. It felt a bit pedestrian with regular work pants.

Pretty color
I wore this both as an open cardigan over a dress and as a regular shirt with pants. I loved the color and texture but something about the fit wasn’t quite right - maybe I would have liked it either a size up or a size down.

Bonkers and luxe
This sweater is so eccentric but it really feels elevated - the sleeves are slightly full and a bit short in a way that feels like fancy Japanese design. It’s very oversized so no need to size up for an oversized look.

Solid work dress option
This is a good work dress, and the fabric is heavy twill, almost denim so it’s good for cold weather - although the way it’s constructed the back drapes over the shirt in a way that leaves it open (not visibly but to air drafts), so on a really cold day a shirt underneath could be needed. The sizing is generous and it’s a bit boxy.

Elevated, elegant, edgy, and chic
I’m so sorry that my mirror was dirty and this picture is doing nothing. This skirt is amazing. It’s very heavy, but it’s structured extremely well to deal with that - the waistband area is super long (or wide?) and it’s boned on the sides. It doesn’t stretch at all and it runs a little small. I could barely zip the 34 (us 2) up and it put some pressure on my waist and ribs but I did wear it 14 hours (for work plus late night event) and it was ok. Because it’s so heavy it’s a bit warm so it’s great for a winter event - I don’t know that it would be comfortable for summer. Looks better with a short top worn over the very tall waistband than a tucked in top imo.

Wore these SO MANY times
Loved these. They are as comfortable as sweatpants but look much nicer - they’re fairly casual but could easily be styled for work because of the fabric and classic print/color scheme. The sizing is generous - I wear a zero or 2, but generally a 2 in pants and the zero was not at all too small. The length is fairly short. I wore them so many times - to work a few times and basically every single day off that I had them.

Comfortable and nice
This is a synthetic / wool blend which is soft and nice for now - it’s fairly tightly knit but lightweight. I liked the shape a lot, which is slightly shorter and boxier. I sized up one size as I usually do for a sweater that I want to be cozy and not shrunken feeling and would say this would be a bit fitted I my normal size.

Pretty but very thin
The only issue I had with this is that it’s crazy static. Maybe it would be better over bare legs but I wore it over sheer tights and nothing could make it non-clingy. The smocked top is a little (not a lot) stretchy but runs small - the 4 is the smallest size and it fits like a zero. Below the waist/rib it’s not fitted at all.

Amazing pants, should have sized down one size
loved these, but they are sized generously and stretched out a bit over a couple of wears so I should have sized down - which is saying something because I never wear a zero in pants that are fitted in the high waist and hips as these are. They are an amazing high waisted, wide leg/flare cut. They are long and I did need at least a small heel with them

Very cute and cropped
This is very cute and super 90s chic. Overall it doesn’t run small (arms are nice and long and body is not too tight) but it is very short / a true crop top. Also while the sleeves are wide and bell-shaped in the forearm (but cuffed at the wrist) they are very very tight in the upper arm.

A fine basic
I ordered this a size or two because I didn’t want it to fit snugly and it was still relatively fitted - it’s got darts that shape it. It’s a fine, easy conservative shirt dress but nothing special. No pockets.

Good work dress
This worked well for what I rented it for (a work convention) but it wasn’t my favorite - a little conservative and blah. I also didn’t love the crispy fabric, which was also very hard to iron (luckily it didn’t wrinkle too much). But it is bias-cut so it drapes nicely and fits/moves well, and it’s good for working in hot weather since it’s basically sleeveless but has the cap sleeves that make it look more polished.

Styles well
This was very chic on its own - I wore for a work event in Miami and it was the perfect warm weather dressy but conservative cut for that, my chest is small and while the neck is super low it buttons at the top and I think if you don’t have cleavage you can be covered up that way. However my favorite outfit I made with it was throwing an oversized colorblocked blazer over it for my work holiday dinner, it really looked elegant as a long full skirt with a jacket topper like that. Has pockets, and the sleeves are very pretty and full.

Loved everything but the ruching
This is fine, but the rusching is sewn into the shirt which looks ok in pictures but sort of weird and contrived in person. It’s a soft sweater shirt in a lightweight knit and a pretty color but it would be better and more versatile without the ruching.

Trendy but versatile, a little too big
Definitely a relaxed fit, they aren’t really cut low waisted but they fit a bit low on me (ie crotch dropped slightly, which is not easy breezy but rather annoying and uncomfortable). They’re pleated but not super exaggerated in shape or anything so they’re pretty easy to wear and give the most look with something short or tucked in on top.

Great fit but a little blah
This is a nice dress, basically as pictured and fits true to size, very forgiving since the top is fully elastic and the bottom is not fitted. It is quite low cut so the fit might be more of a challenge for those with a larger bust. It does have pockets. The color is a slightly jewel tone/bright but mainly dark or forest green.
