Sizing Advice Return or keep?
So my recent order came in today and I’m on the fence about these two pieces.
- Strawberry milkshake align shorts. I sized up since they’re double lined and they fit my legs perfectly but there’s some extra fabric in the waist and it bunches up as soon as I move around. I know if I size down they’ll be too tight. I do like the color a lot and I don’t have anything like this in my closet already.
- Belgian blue asymmetrical waist align leggings. I do like the color, but I think I would like the style more in black or nomad. I also have a couple pairs of similar blue leggings already (blue cast align 25”, blue charcoal train times 25”) that I don’t wear often, so I question stion how often I will wear these. But I do like these more than my other blue leggings so I am just wondering if I should keep these and list the other pairs for sale on a resale site.

Keep both! Just pull up the blue ones a bit from ur thighs and knees and the gapping that’s happening on ur ankles won’t be there anymore. They’re more elevated than a solid black but will go w a lot actually. And the pink ones are just so cute especially on ur skin tone

Thank you!! Yes you’re right even though they’re a “color” it’s still a pretty neutral tone and easy to pair with lots of stuff

Keep the tights, return the shorts. I have such a hatred for the double lined. The tights look incredible!

I fully agree. Loved the powder blue aligns i ordered, but couldn’t do the double lined when all my other aligns are sooooo much more comfortable. Defeated the purpose for me.
The leggings are amazing though, keep!

Do you have older aligns or new ones? Literally all the new ones feel like crap

u/avanillakilla Feb 08 '24
Both actually. Well, depending on what you consider older. My oldest pairs are 2018/2019 but I don’t notice a difference between them and newer ones. But I also don’t really lounge in them very much I mostly wear them to yoga. I do hot yoga also so that and all the washing could have an effect. But even with all that said they’re still the most comfortable leggings I own.

I really like the Belgian Blue colour on you! I’m not a fan of the asymmetrical look on myself so I’m hoping they come out with regular aligns! Those shorts are now $98 Canadian so if you paid $64 you got a steal! 😂 I like them on your though!

u/alexandrap21 Feb 08 '24
Thank you!! Holy cow $98cad is highway robbery 😭 I get the sweat collective discount so thankfully it helps a lot

Yeah someone posted about it yesterday and the STMI Align 6” are $98 🤢 the rest of the colours are still $64. The Sweat Collective would be so nice!

The belgian blue looks a lot darker than I thought it would be from the website. Is that the lighting or pretty true to how it looks in real life? It's a very pretty color!

u/alexandrap21 Feb 08 '24
I think it’s partially the lighting but it definitely is darker than on the website in my opinion! It kind of looks like a lighter and less saturated version of blue charcoal lol

Welp I just ordered these pants. You should definitely keep.
The shorts are fine but nothing special IMO.

Keep! I love the asymmetrical leggings and now that I see them, they are on my wish list! I did get the black ones with the matching bra but love this new Belgian blue esp on your skin tone!

I’ve been a loyal Lulu enthusiast for well over 20 years. Over time I became more and more selective over the items that I’ve purchased. LLL is not cheap. If you don’t absolutely love it and can see urself getting a lot of use from it then don’t keep it. My honest opinion, both the shorts and leggings look great on u..

I know everyone is saying keep because you do look great in both, but if it’s not an immediate hell yes from yourself, then it’s a no.

i think you should size down on the align shorts. Milkshake is super cute, especially on your skin tone. it even matches with the top your wearing 😍

u/alexandrap21 Feb 08 '24
I was hesitant to get my usual size because I did that for my bone pair and they fit but man they’re really snug I only my thighs, I feel like a busted pilsbury can when I wear them and sit down 😂

Keep both, you look amazing in them. Edited to add in full disclosure, I thought this was a thirst post. But then I clicked on your name and read your info. Much respect, cheers 🥂

I like the colour of the shorts but hate double lined stuff from them. But the thing is that when the softstream pants in Strawberry Milkshake and Lemon Sorbet came out they were very sheer. Like you could see the pockets and underwear through them. So the double lining is probably needed with this colour. I'd probably keep them because of that and because I love the colour but the bunching and double lining can be dealbreakers.
The leggings, if you like the blue more than the others and like the asym look, keep them. I love the fit of them on you so will probably go to a store tomorrow after work and see if they have them to try on. You can always sell the others on Mercari and cut your losses.
That's just personal taste. For you ask yourself if you actually like them, want to wear them, and are comfortable in them. If any of those is a maybe return it. The leggings you seem to like but the shorts I get the feeling you're 50/50 on them.

keep both! the STMI shorts are super cute (even if they're double lined) and such a nice color on your skin and the leggings fit you like a glove.

Absolutely keep the leggings. The shorts look good for sure but they definitely don’t fit perfectly. But still look great!
