Review on loots from Banana Republic.com
Hi all :) Apart from blogshopping, I wonder if you also purchase work-wear online? Especially the working folks? Banana Republic, for instance, is extremely pricey locally, but is very well known for their good quality clothes which lasts for years on end. So I took a chance and bought 2 work pants and 1 pair of shorts for weekend (I'm not that young anymore - the bodycons etc make me feel a little self conscious!) so here is a review on their cut and quality. I am also intending to sell all of them but that is only for one reason - they are too big for me (i.e. I got the wrong size). Really sad though... I would have kept all 3 if I had the right size :(
1. Hampton Fit Sateen Crop in Khaki (RRP US$79.50), US size 2 BNWOT, selling at $42 mailed.
- Fit: As you can see from the photo, it's quite baggy for me. I guess I'm actually a size 0, not 2. But the pants is cool to touch and is very comfortable :) Straight and tapered legs which crops nicely at the ankles.
- Material: Sturdy, smooth, and cool. You know how sometimes work pants / cropped pants become 'baggy' or 'saggy' at the butt area by lunch time? I don't think you'll be a victim of such incidents in this pants. And it's so uber comfy!
2. Circle Print Roll-Up Shorts (RRP US$49.50), US size 2 BNWOT, selling at $38 mailed
- Fit: Baggy for me but otherwise the legs are straight-cut with a 5" inseam which is really appropriate for weekend shopping in malls etc :)
- Material: Thick and good, another BR quality product. Have captured a close up of the prints for you to see. It's really pretty!
3. Hampton Fit Dot Crop in Navy Dot (RRP US$79.50), US size 2 BNWT, selling at $50 mailed
- Fit: Likewise, baggy. But legs are tapered and actually has a slimming effect... :)
- Material: I'm most impressed with this. The dots are almost like embossed and has a texture to it. It's also really comfortable and soft, and THICK. Definitely won't have saggy looking butts with this! :)
Feel free to email me should you have any queries. Or visit my LJ for larger pictures of the pants etc. Thank you :)
For reference, I am a UK 6 top and bottom, 1.64m and 48kg.
