The only problem is that there’s a layer of pleated mesh across the back of the coat (see photo below). And despite the word “mesh” featuring very prominently in the product name, I somehow missed this detail when I placed my order.

While this back detail would be super cute for someone with a girly sense of style, it’s way too frou-frou for my vibe. Honestly, I’m considering cutting the mesh off because the trench is THAT AMAZING and perfect in every other way! I’m still amazed at the quality of this piece — it should cost at least twice as much as it does.

Also, for sizing purposes, I got a size M in this but I could have easily sized it down to a S; this coat runs on the roomy side.

TL;DR: Don’t be like me; read the product descriptions closely before ordering. Or buy this trench if your style is girly, it’s adorable!

Fluffy Knit Cropped Tank and Pants Set

A few seasons ago, a famous celebrity-owned shapewear brand released a collection of soft and fuzzy lounge clothes that took social media by storm. This Chicwish crop top and pants set is an amazing affordable dupe for that line.

I own the robe from said celebrity brand, so I put the pieces side by side to see how they compared. (Photo above — note that my robe has been washed and dried while the Chicwish pieces have not, which is why my robe is more textured.)

While the name-brand version is a little bit thicker than the Chicwish version, the fabric is extremely close. Honestly, no one would ever be able to guess these pants and top weren’t the real thing!

Sizing-wise, the pants were a little tighter than I wanted them to be, so I’d recommend sizing up in this set. (I got a S.) Luckily, there’s a lot of stretch in this fabric, so they’re still comfortable, just not as loose and lounge-y as I wanted.
