Amazon & Quince Try-On Reviews: Affordable and Trending Athleisure and Casual Styles + [VIDEO]

Share This!

I’m planning my winter capsule wardrobe and I have ordered several things from Amazon. In the past couple of months, I have found myself wearing a mix of athleisure and casual styles. Since I work at home, I prefer to wear comfortable, easy to move around in clothes, so athleisure and casual styles suit my lifestyle the best.

A couple of weeks ago, a reader emailed me saying that she really enjoyed wearing athleisure styles and asked me if athleisure was acceptable to wear. I told her and I’ll let you all know too, athleisure is one of the most popular styles to wear. The Athleisure season series in the Capsule Wardrobe Store is one of the most popular capsule wardrobe styles! Last month, I did some shopping at The Summit in Birmingham, Alabama, an upscale outdoor shopping area about an hour away from where I live. There were so many women wearing athleisure styles, which was more than I saw there last year!

When it comes to ordering clothes, shoes and accessories on Amazon, there are items to buy and ones to avoid. Here are a few of my tips for buying on Amazon:

• Enroll in Amazon Prime – I have been an Amazon Prime member for several years now and I love the fast shipping and streaming movies and tv series at home.
• Check the fabric composition – I avoid a high Acrylic content, low acrylic is ok, but a high content is likely not to hold up after washing.
• Check the sizing information – This is very important to make sure you select the correct size. If you are ordering jeans or pants, check in inseam and rise measurements that will fit your body.
• Read the reviews – If the majority of the reviews are good, then more than likely you will like the item.
• Take advantage of coupons – Sometimes sellers will offer an inline coupon, which is located on the product page. Check the box to receive a discount in your cart!
• Shipping time – Check to see if the seller offer adequate shipping.
• Seller offers returns – Make sure the seller offers returns just in case something doesn’t fit correctly.

Now onto the try-on to see which pieces I ordered, which ones fit and ones that I’ll be returning! In all the photos, I’m wearing my favorite budget Amazon jewelry brand Pavoi. I’m wearing this Amazon Pavoi paper clip coin necklace in “gold” and these Amazon Pavoi hoop earrings in “gold”.

For size reference, my height is 5’9″ and I weigh approximately 170 lbs., have an hourglass figure and I am mid-size. For tops, I typically wear a size Medium (10) or Large (12), depending on the brand and fit of the top (for slim-fit, I usually wear a Large). For bottoms, my normal size is a 12 (depending on the brand and fit of the bottom) OR a 31 waist; a 10-inch high rise fits my waist the best and a 28 inch inseam falls at my ankle, 30 inch inseam is full-length on me. My shoe size is 9 medium or 40EU.

The first pieces I tried on was this Amazon Essentials Puffer Vest in the “off white” color (size Large). It is a lightweight vest that I can wearing over tees around the house. You can also wear it underneath a coat for extra layering. I also ordered these Colorfulkoala Flare Leggings in the “gray carbon” color (size Large, 31.5″ inseam). I was super excited to find out these leggings fit perfectly! I’m wearing a long sleeve white tee (similar); my exact one from Nordstrom is sold out. I’m also wearing my Adidas Sambas Sneakers. I am definitely keeping the vest and leggings!

Shop My Outfit:

I love the relaxed look of this Oversized Frayed Hem Denim Shacket in “medium blue” (size Large). When I ordered it, I overlooked the “oversized” in the title. I love the jacket, but needed to order a medium, since it is too big on me. I ordered a medium and it’s on its way! I also wearing the Colorfulkoala Flare Leggings in the “gray carbon” color (size Large, 31.5″ inseam), similar long sleeve white tee and Adidas Sambas Sneakers.

Shop My Outfit:

I ordered this Flysleeve Puffer Vest in the “Khaki” color (size Large) and it is so warm and cozy! I’m not sure if I will keep this color. I ordered it in the Black color and it’s being shipping, so I may keep that color instead. What do you think, khaki or black? I love these Colorfulkoala High Waist Leggings in “black” (size Large, 28 inch inseam)! The quality of these leggings are superb! They are very similar to the Lululemon Align Leggings but are much more affordable. I also ordered these Suede Faux Fur Lined UGG Style Boots in “chestnut” (size 9, fits true to size) and they are VERY comfy! I’m keeping these shoes and leggings! My exact black long sleeve tee is sold out, but I found a similar Gap Long Sleeve Black Tee that will work well with leggings.

Shop My Outfit:

I LOVE everything about this Anrabess Coatigan in “apricort” (size Medium)! I should have ordered the large, since I mistakenly ordered a medium. I’ve got a large on the way in the “khaki” color. The material is soft and is well made, the sleeves are just the right length and since it is a longer length you can easily wear it with leggings. It’s a versatile layering piece! You can also wear it to work with a skirt or pants and casually on the weekends with jeans and sneakers. I’m wearing the same boots as above, but in the “sand” color (I’m keeping the “chestnut” color boots I’m wearing above) and am also wearing the Colorfulkoala High Waist Leggings in “black” (size Large, 28 inch inseam). This Amazon Essentials Striped Long Sleeve Tee in “black/white stripe” (size Large) is a good one to wearing with leggings and jeans!

Shop My Outfit:

This Zip Collar Sweatshirt in “khaki” (size Large) is one of my favorites that I ordered! It is so soft and layers well! It is a lightweight jacket that looks great with leggings and also with jeans and pants. I also LOVE this Amazon Eslcorri Sling Bag in “apricot”! I has an adjustable strap and the bag holds a lot! I also ordered it in the “leopard black” pattern that I’m wearing below. I’m also wearing the Colorfulkoala High Waist Leggings in “black” (size Large, 28 inch inseam) and the Amazon Essentials Striped Long Sleeve Tee in “black/white stripe” (size Large). My shoes are the New Balance Fresh Foam Sneakers (size 9.5) which are very comfy!

Here is another way to wear the Zip Collar Sweatshirt in “khaki” (size Large), with joggers, a white tee and casual sneakers. These The Drop Rib Cuff Joggers in “black” (size Large) are so soft, but you may want to size down, as these were a bit roomy in the waist on me. This Quince Quilted Crossbody Tote in “black” is perfect to wear with your athleisure outfits and this style is on-trend! It also comes in the charcoal gray and navy colors. They also have it in this quilted Sling Bag! I’m also wearing my Frye White Casual Sneakers and long sleeve white tee.

Shop My Outfit:

Here is another good one from Amazon, the Anrabess Drawstring Sweatshirt Pullover in “khaki” (size Large)! This top is very similar to the Athleta one, but is very affordable! I can’t wait til the temps get cooler so I can wear this one on repeat. I’m keeping this one! I’m also wearing the Colorfulkoala High Waist Leggings in “black” (size Large, 28 inch inseam) and the my New Balance Fresh Foam Sneakers (size 9.5).

I added the Amazon Eslcorri Sling Bag in “leopard black”, the same style as the one I’m wearing above in “apricot”.

I have heard so many great things about this Quince Organic Cotton Oversized Cardigan, so I ordered it to try. This is the “speckled beige” color and I sized down to a Medium.
