The right combination of casual and professional
This skimmed body in a nice way. It wasn't too flowy so I could wear for work and with flowing pants without adding too much volume, but it was loose enough that it was comfortable in summer heat. Armholes came up high and it hit nicely just above hip making it easy to wear with skiers and linen pants. Soft fabric is more casual but cut kept it work appropriate. Soft tan was easy to match.

Fun pattern for summer - sized down
By sizing down it was loose but not overwhelming. Sleeves were a little long but I wanted to roll up anyway. Nice quality linen and easy to style on its own or with a tank underneath

I sized down but still just okay
Sizing down helped, but the sleeves were still incredibly long hanging down to my fingers. The faux suede was good but not great and combined with a slightly peachy-tan color made it look even less natural.

Didn't wear it due to fit
The sleeves were big which would have been okay but the armholes were also big and the body was tight so it just wouldn't lay right on my body. It was tight across the chest making the buttons gap. Maybe on a different body type?

Flatter fit and upgrade from jeans
I wore these as a change from reaching for jeans all the time. I really liked how they fit thru the hips and thighs. I'm a 30" inseam and length was great for spring with flats and sandals. Belt made getting dressed easy - instantly finished without grabbing an accessory.

Great Quality Prep Sweater
Loved the fabric of this sweater and even the zipper felt high-quality. Made it great for work-casual option. The collar didn't allow for a lot of different styling options so I didn't wear it as often as I thought I would but it paired well with jeans and trousers.

I wanted it to be more cool
I really thought the buttons and cut of this jacket would telegraph instant cool and be an upgrade from my usual jean jacket. It was cute but not the insta-cool I was imagining. Buttons were a little difficult. Wore it several times for virtual client meetings.

Versatile and Easy Spring Sweater
The weight of this cardigan was great for Spring and the fit made it easy to throw on to make jeans and a tee more interesting. I work from home and wore it often for video calls.

Cozy and adorable
I wore this almost once a week for 2 months. I reached for it every time I needed to be warm but not boring. It looked great with jeans and boots or casual with a pair of Uggs and wide legs. Really thick knit but not so much that you overheat and not itchy. I wanted to buy but way out of my price range.

Cute but too cropped for a long torso
I liked the sweater and wore it once. The fit was nice in the sleeves and body but the length was just too short for me. I tried wearing it with high-waisted jeans and that worked but I didn’t think it was super flattering. Cotton is thick and a good quality. A cute everyday sweater.

Warm and cute in single digit weather
I live in Minnesota and wore this in January and February. A cozy sweater fit underneath comfortably and that was enough to keep me warm as a was running to a lunch date or out on errands. A fun way to add style on a cold day. Looked amazing with jeans and boots.

Loved the hem and the fit thru the hips. Waist was tight.
I usually wear a 10 in jeans but depending on the cut sometimes a 12 is better in the waist and hips and that's how I felt about the 30 in this style. The waistband was just a little too tight to be comfortable. But I loved everything else about them and will rent again in a 31. I'm a 30" inseam and the length was great. Easy to pair with flats or heeled boots.

Classic Blazer with tailored fit
This fit great. It was tailored but relaxed enough to be comfortable. I thought the herringbone pattern was too defined, I wish the weave had been more subtle but that is totally a personal preference.

Flattering fit
These pants are flattering on curves and comfortable in the waist. The pebbled leather makes it easy to dress up or down. I thought I'd wear them more but I had trouble picking the right shoes. Boots looked too heavy and in cold weather I don't wear heels or sling backs which I think would be good options. For fit reference I'm a 30" inseam and 31" waist in jeans.

Amazing fit and great quality
This is jacket fit perfectly and is very well made. I was so happy when I got it. I didn’t wear it often but that was more about what I had going on and what else was in my closet.

Warm style
A great alternative to a puffer jacket. I wore it in December in Minnesota. It added style to lunch out or a family bowling date. I thought the faux leather looked great and the fit gave me room for a sweater but didn’t feel too oversized. Arm and body length was just right.

Cool and unique
This coat is long so take that into consideration for sizing - it could be overwhelming. I wore it multiple times with heeled boots, jeans and a black sweater. Perfect layer for fall and a really fun way to upgrade a basic outfit. With a warm sweater underneath I stretched it into winter when I didn’t need to walk far. Without a lining it isn’t a warm winter coat. Many compliments.

Too basic for me. Didn’t end up wearing.
I thought this would be a classic that would be easy to style and elevate a look. But when it arrived the fabric was pilled in front and on the arms and it was just kind of boring.

Interesting and structured
This ended up being too structured for my style. If I still worked in an office I would have loved it but I couldn’t find a way to dress it down enough to work for me. I followed advice and sized down and it fit really well in arms and body.

Instant style
White t-shirt and jeans became an instant cool girl look for my virtual meeting with this blazer. I’m having a little 80s “Working Girl’ flashback with the shoulder pads (IYKYK), but it does make a powerful statement. It fits perfectly all over. I may buy this one. It’s classic.

Not flattering on a long torso
I really wanted to love this one and carefully read reviews for size guidance. It was a little snug across the chest but with the zipper it worked and it fit well everywhere else. I have a long back and it just hit wrong - it felt a little short and end up not being as flattering as I had hoped. That plus the combination of a tight fit in the chest made me return.

Great fabric and style. Ran a little large.
I’m usually a size 10 and sometimes size up so I ordered the XL. I like an oversized fit but this just felt a little sloppy and long in the arms so I returned and will wait for a L to be available. I loved the fabric - soft and a heavier weight but not too hot. I think the argyle pattern is fun and will be easy to style. Can’t wait for my size to be available.
