Looks good but mesh is not my thing
I don't typically take a L in a dress of this style/cut, but this is the correct size for me (this is why I say it runs small). I will also say that if you have nice beefy arms they might fight with the seams a bit. Rented on a whim because the reviews are so strong and this colorway/patchwork vibe isn't my usual thing and I wanted to try something different. Should have noticed that the fabric is that micro-mesh stuff that I just don't particularly like. It is not--NOT--a cold-weather dress, turtleneck style notwithstanding. Probably good for a warm-ish autumn when you're hoping the weather is going to turn. Also, as I walked, the skirt rode wayyyyyy up, so I was constantly adjusting the hem. But! It does look very good on!

Parachute into your daily life
This was pretty fun to wear and basically TTS with some quirks: 1. The legs are short, and there's a snap cuff that did not have a prayer of snapping around my thick calves. Honestly even unsnapped the leg openings barely fit me. I tucked them into my boots and it worked just fine, but it's not ideal. 2. The overall fit is pretty loose and baggy, but the waist is nice and nipped in. I wouldn't say the elastic is super-forgiving. Worked for me at size 8 with a 31 inch waist, but YMMV. 3. The belt is sewn on, which I get, but it limits styling options. Love the big ol puffy sleeves and cargo-y details. A military flight suit for regular business.

I want to wear this forever
This is basically a stylish sporty sack but it is directly up my street. I love the giant wide legs and the iconic, graphic 3-stripe. There's an internal drawcord at the back of the jumpsuit for a wee bit of waist definition, but this is never going to be a super-cinched look. Great with a hoodie under it and I also wore with leggings in super cold weather. Also wore as is for temps around 50 F. Would never take this off if I owned it.

Slightly offbeat and very comfortable.
I wore this a bunch of times--both sleeveless at a big event in a less frigid climate, and more casually with a shirt under it (as pictured) at home in Minneapolis. It's an easy instant outfit that can work in many situations. Note that it's a pretty heavy sweater knit, and up close is really dark burgundy/brown + emerald, but it's easy enough to style with black. A close but not compressive fit, and you could size down for a more body-con feeling.

Perfect windbreaker layer for San Francisco
I rented this for vacation--I thought it would be fun to have an interesting windbreaker for SF's changeable weather, and it totally was! Honestly the graphic on it is not really my thing (honestly didn't realize it said YOHJI LOVE until I got it), but the shape and little pockets and drawstrings very much are my thing. Also worked as an indoor layer where normally I might use a hoodie. Seemed TTS for me but not super-roomy. My shoulders are small for my frame, so YMMV.

I pledge allegiance to these pants, except for the bananas inseam.
Everything about these is directly up my street: I love a giant wide-leg silhouette, I love high-low mixing, I love pseudo-athletic styling. These are a heavy weight fabric with great movement and drape, a woven not knit, and somewhere between bright red and hot pink. I generally don't have to have pants hemmed (I'm 5'8"), but these really are unmanageably long without sky-high shoes (not my vibe). I faked a cuff on them to wear with sneakers one day, but the drape of the fabric means you can't do this without a lot of pinning/hem magnets/other temp solutions. Euro sizes are a bit mysterious to me but I got the recommended size and they felt large. I'm about 31" waist and 43" hips and there was tons of room for the booty.
