Size down
This is a great transitional jacket that runs on the larger side, so I highly recommend sizing down. Perfect for cooler mornings- nice weighted fabric and pretty color. (I am currently exchanging to the 34 to continue wearing this season).

Perfect spring jacket
This was one I almost kept- the perfect spring transitional jacket that goes with most everything. A Hunter classic that fit well.

I sized down for a more fitted look- this was a great coat to bridge the early spring New England weather. Great quality from Mackage.

Decent dress that has a more conservative look depending on your event- a little too much fabric in the skirt but otherwise no complaints.

Khaki with en edge
The skirt fit true to size and had the right amount of opening in the front to still be okay for work wear. The adjustable belt was a great touch too- good weight to the fabric and high quality all around.

Polished and unique
I wore this twice and appreciated the versatility of this piece- bra strap was still concealed under the knotted portion that’s sleeveless. Paired perfectly with the BOSS khaki colored skirt to elevate my work/weekend event wear.

Wanted to love but…
I sent this one back unworn- as other reviewers commented the skirt portion had an odd fit and didn’t look flattering on me. Would recommend for taller women.

Size down
As others have commented, it’s best to size down 1-2 sizes for this style. I’m usually a 27 and could have easily pulled off the 26.

Great fit for everyday winter wear
This coat came NWT and helped get me through some cold/snowy New England weather without fail. I wish there was a full length version available, however, I can attest that this is still a great choice for everyday wear without feeling like a marshmallow.

Odd fit
This dress is better suited for taller women with longer torsos. The drop waist and overall fit was overwhelming in me, so I was unable to wear. (Good brand, just not ideal for petites).

Length hits me around the ankle, waist is perfect and the backside is what really sells this style of jeans! Sizing is perfect and the wide leg style balances out the waist/butt ratio. This one may be worth purchasing!
