Very high waisted, comfy, and flattering. I'm short so could only wear around the house as they are loooong

Better than you think!
Perfect summer top for office or casual. I’m a medium almost always. This worked well but want to try the small for slightly more fitted look. The fitted waist look great no matter if you go small or larger.

Top more structured than it looks
Top is not a T-shirt it’s structured and dress is fully lined. Wore in hottest 90 degree weather in NYC and didn’t see an on ounce of sweat through the dress. Good for work only for shorties. Otherwise too short.

Boxier than expected
If you want a slim fit, maybe size down. It's fuzzy can get on others garments. I thought it was just so so. If I rent again will size down

If you have issues with buttons pulling open at the chest, this is your classy top. So refined with an edge due to asymmetry

Not for petites
I love Tibi. This jacket looked fine from the front. It's a bit boxy which doesn't work entirely for the cut. The back has a cutout at lower back (like a riding jacket). Since I'm petite, this hit too low and looked a bit off. Otherwise a great, and well made jacket

Oversized masculine look - amazing
I wore this to work several times. Very versatile. Instantly pulls your look to professional. There are small-ish shoulder pads - adds a more tailored look not an overdone look. Love and will prob buy

Great baggy or Dad jean
I wore these to a casual bbq at work. They're not flattering but are comfortable and have a cool 90s vibe. I would not buy and probably will not rent again but was fun for something different. My waist is a 29 and these fit fine

Shrunken polo - rather hade a regular polo
I'm a big fan of Tibi. This shirt missed the mark. It's fine for a shrunken polo top. I'm a M and got a L so that it was not too fitted for work. The asymmetry in the neckline did nothing for the design, imo. Looks best worn buttoned all the way up.

Cute but nothing special
It's a great quality jersey fabric but is tailored enough to not be flown or t-shirt like. In the end, it's still jersey, so a more casual jacket for work.

Waist and chest run small on this top. In designer, I'm usually a 6 on top but sized up to 8 and it pulled so much on bust and waist. Sized up to a 10

Nope
Seemed outdated. Was just boxy but not in an oversized way. A boxy that hits just below the waste. It didn’t work. Looked frumpy, not fashion-forward.

Def size down. I’m a 6/8 in skirts and the 40 fit me perfectly! I wore this several times to the office. Length was 2 inches or so above the knee since I’m a shorty.

The details elevate this basic shirt
Fit is big and boxy. With that in mind, it could be difficult to style. I wore tucked in with a skirt (too much fabric to tuck w/pants). I also wore tied with pants - left last few buttons undone and tied together. It was ok - details like buttons and cuffs made it elevated for a basic shirt.

Runway worthy and everyday elevated
Love this jacket. Barrel cut shape that is very runway 2024. Can wear to work and every day and get compliments. Style oversized so ok to get your usual size or go down one and it should still work. I work the 36 and 38 and both looked great. Y’all, please stop washing (and drying) these rentals. I got one that had been put in a dryer and it’s not ok. Changes shape and pulls the lining as the denim shrinks. Let RTR dry clean it so we all get to enjoy this beauty. 🙏🏼

One of my fave designers missed the mark on this one
It’s a scrub top that is tighter on the chest and lower cut. If you’re a doc and want to turn heads in your sexy scrub top, this is for you. The 38 was too tight on the breasts and squashed me like I was wearing a training bra. It’s a pass for me.

Make that statement
I just couldn’t do it at work. It’s perfect for those occasions where you want to turn heads and get compliments. I’m a 6/8 in designer dresses. I’m also narrow on the shoulders and the M was too tight under the arms which is unusual for me. If you’re more hourglass on top, size up.
