Here is the promised second part of some recent try-ons. You can find part 1 here, and part 3 will be coming soon, too.
Reviewed in this post:
On the daily hoodie – fatigue fog
In flux jacket – plum
Yeah yoga tank – vintage pink
Weekend long sleeve – bordeaux drama/black cherry
Weekend short sleeve – white parallel stripe
For reference, I am 5’3″, and I typically wear a size 2 in lululemon tops and bottoms. Unless otherwise noted, that’s the size I’m wearing in these pics.
On the daily hoodie in fatigue fog
The on the daily hoodie has been gaining a lot of popularity so I was interested to try it on. It’s a lighter weight, warm-weather-friendly alternative to the scuba hoodie. I noticed that this hoodie both longer and looser than the scuba. It’s particularly loose through the waist, which I didn’t really like. I didn’t love the sleeves either, which are both too long (of course) and too loose for me. You would probably have to size down to get a look closer to the scuba hoodie. Overall, if I wanted a cotton zip-up hoodie with a generically loose fit, I don’t really feel the need to pay lulu prices for it. For comparison:
Here’s how my fatigue scuba hoodie fits (same size).
In flux jacket in plum
In contrast to the on the daily hoodie, the in flux is quite fitted in my normal size. I immediately noticed that the fabric pulls and pickers around the zipper in a way I thought sat oddly and wasn’t that impressed with the overall fit/look.
Btw, I’m wearing black cherry WUC in that pic, so now you know how black cherry and plum look next to each other. :)
Since the in flux jacket is the replacement for the DSJ, here’s a photo of how a DSJ fits me. The in flux is definitely shorter, and the sleeves seem a bit looser as well. The fit, in terms of tightness, seems comparable. While I do appreciate the more updated, modern styling of the in flux jacket, I think the construction and fit isn’t any better than the DSJ.
Yeah yoga tank in vintage pink
This tank is really cute. The scoop of the neckline is flattering, and the straps are delicate without cutting in. Support is low, but coverage was plenty for my vaguely full bustline. The back is a couple inches lower than a lot of other tanks, a semi-open back look that I think is really nice. Notice that the midsection is a bit on the looser side. I believe some people sized down because of this, but the nice thing is that it reduces potential stuffed sausage effects, especially since the material is pretty thin. This may make it move around during yoga, though.
Also, shameless: this style makes your shoulders look rockin’. :)
Weekend long sleeve in bordeaux drama/black cherry
The weekend LS in my regular size was basically huge. I could be wearing my boyfriend’s shirt. As a petite person, I have to be careful with relaxed fits, since they usually just look like they’re swallowing me whole (or that I don’t know how to buy a proper size), while they might look cuter on a more “normal” sized person. I don’t need all my shirts to be form-fitting, but I think a size down, if available, would’ve been a better fit that would still be relaxed but not sloppy. The sleeves also seemed unnecessarily large on these. If they were a little more fitted, it would help balance the look, though I’m not sure how much sizing down would help with that.
Weekend short sleeve in white parallel stripe
The weekend SS was a bit better than it’s LS counterpart, but I still would’ve liked to try a size down. I liked the overall shape. I noticed that the cuffed sleeve was actually a lot of layers of fabric. It seemed like it had been rolled over 1 or 2 too many times, so it felt oddly bulky there. If that doesn’t bother you and you can get a size down, it’s a cute tee.
I wanted to like the On The Daily hoodie too, but it just doesn’t have the same level of detailing (i.e. front and hood embroidery) as the Scuba, despite being the same price! Love the Yeah Yoga Tank on you!
Yes, agree about the on the daily! I do like the longer torso length of the on the daily hoodie, but overall the price is hard to justify for something kinda generic.
I think the weekend SS looks super cute on you!! I tried on the In Flux jacket in store the other weekend, and I liked it a lot. I have a DSJ, and I think I like the In Flux’s styling a bit more. I live in FL, so can’t justify a jacket purchase at this time of year.
I just picked up the raspberry yeah yoga tank on one of the FB boards, and I def think it’s a size down item. I am either a 4 or 6 in tanks, and I got a 6 in this. It fits fine, but gaps open some when I cross my arms even slightly. I also think the midsection is loose like you said. The low back is awesome for hot workouts though, and looks hot itself!
Yeah, I’d heard about the gaping issue. I didn’t notice it on me. I might’ve missed it, or maybe it didn’t happen for me because my boobs could fill it out enough, not sure.
Im a new reader to your blog. Thanks for the awesome reviews!!
Love love love the yeah yoga tank in pink. I am TOTALLY buying that!!
Thanks Cyn!! :) I hope you like the yeah yoga tank!
Did you get that yeah yoga tank? The cut is super flattering on you, especially the back! :)
No I didn’t. Although it’s very cute, I just never reach for my built-in bra tanks. There’s generally not enough support to be functional for me. I might pick it up if I found a really sweet deal on ebay or something, but at full price, I just wouldn’t get enough use to justify it.
Wow, the weekend LS is huge on you! It didn’t look as huge on me in my size. I actually found the length to be a bit too short. Good to know the fit is about the same for the in flux/ds jackets. I have 2 DSJs in the same size, and one is much tighter than the other, so maybe it varies slightly by color?
Yeah, I would bet there’s more color-to-color variation than there is variation between the in flux and DSJ. Your tts is at least a starting point. I confess, though, I’ve only ever tried on one DSJ, lol.
Hi Agent Athletica, which jacket do you recommend more the DSJ or In Flux?
I haven’t actually owned either one. They fit a bit differently–in flux seems a little shorter and maybe a tad smaller. And of course the style is different, so I think mostly it comes down to personal preference. Sorry I don’t have something more detailed to add, but I hope that helps a little bit.
Hi there! Not sure if you still reply to this section since your last message was back in 2015. I have a question. Lululemon doesn’t sell the in flux jacket either as online or in store anymore so I have to guess. I am petite and 5’4, very small bust 34a. I fit the luon version of the define jacket in size 6. Should I buy the same size in flux for a similar fit or size up/down?
Hey Jenn, as a matter of fact I do still get email notifications of comments, no matter how old the post is. :) I jogged my memory by re-reading this post (wow I look so different 7 years ago, haha!), and I would also stick with a size 6 for the in flux jacket. The define is more skin-tight, but the in flux still fits close to the body like my pics here. I think if you got a size down, it would probably be too tight. Don’t quote me on this, but I THINK the in flux has a bit less stretch too, so that could be a hazard of a smaller size.
For reference, if it helps, here are some pics of how the (luon) define jacket fits me in the same size: https://www.agentathletica.com/the-quintessential-lululemon-outfit/
Thanks for the quick reply. I had a look at that really bright pink define jacket. Its definately brighter than anything that I would dare to wear out (I’m more of a subdued colored person). So that pink define jacket that your wearing in those pics is a size 6? Looks great on you.
You are a great help- will look for one on ebay.
Yeah, these days I wear more jewel tones and less brights, too. What can I say, I am a lot older now than when I started this blog, and my tastes are a little more specific now. :) And I meant that I was wearing the same size jacket in both this post and the one I linked you to, which should give you an idea of the differences of fit/tightness on each jacket.
