My Completely Honest Review of prAna clothing

12/14/2016

8 Comments

 
Disclosure:  I received complimentary products for review, but all opinions are honest and are my own.  #ad

Welcome to my review of prAna clothing.  I have seen prAna online through blog reviews, but had never tried the clothes before this review.  I was excited to try out some new things, but a little apprehensive about how I would look in them since I am on the tall side at 5'10" and I have a 2 month old and am carrying a little extra weight around the middle.  

I was very careful when ordering and took my measurements since I have never worn prAna clothes before and my post baby body isn't back to normal yet.  I even read reviews online to get a feel for the sizing.

I chose the Kara jean which is their most popular style in denim size 6 and the Stacia sweater in harbor blue size M.  They are both made of organic cotton which I don't think I have ever worn before and have to admit is super soft.  The sweater is fair trade certified which makes me feel good as a consumer knowing that the workers who made it are working under fair working conditions.

You are probably wondering how I really feel about my new prAna clothes after wearing them. First let's talk about the Kara jeans. They can be worn cuffed or uncuffed. Since I am so tall, I wear them uncuffed. In the summer, I may wear them cuffed as capri pants. You can see them cuffed at prAna.com. They are cute either way and if you are tall like me, you can still wear them. As far as fit goes, my Kara jeans fit really well except that they are in my opinion too low at the waist. I don't like having to worry about my backside showing when I sit down or bend over. I remedy this by wearing long tops with these jeans. Most of my tops are longer anyway, but I wouln't wear a short top with the Kara jeans.

​As far as comfort goes, the Kara jeans are sooooooooo comfortable!  The first day I wore them, I commented to my husband that night that I felt like I had worn yoga pants or sweats all day.  You get the look of jeans with the comfort of sweats.  They are so soft and flexible you could proably do yoga in them if you wanted.  

The Kara jeans are pricier as far as jeans go, but a good pair of jeans is a wardrobe staple.  I have probably worn them at least 10 times since I received them for review.  They are my new go-to jeans that I wear all the time.

​Now let's talk about the Stacia sweater.  Based on my measurements and the fact that I just had a baby, I ordered a medium.  This sweater is not fitted at the waist and is a little larger than I realized it would be.  If I would have known, I would have ordered a small.  So my sweater is bigger on me than I would like, but I still wear it because it is super comfy and I love the color.  It is a beautiful blue green color.  One thing I love about this sweater is that the sleeves are long enough for my arms.  I almost always have to order tall size tops and can't just walk into a store and buy one.  This is not a tall size sweater and the sleeves are long enough for me.  There is one flaw in my sweater and that is that it is not perfectly symetrical across the front.  The left side is slightly longer than the right and I find myself tugging on the right side to make it longer.  Good news is I don't think anyone else notices.  

Overall, I recommend the Stacia sweater as a fashionable and comfortable piece of clothing, however, if I had purchased the sweater I would have sent it back for a smaller size that was symetrical across the front.  

Picture

I have had a good experience reviewing my new prAna clothing.  I have worn both the sweater and jeans multiple times in the short time I have owned them and know that if I had purchased them myself I would get my money's worth.  My new prAna clothes are fashionable and functional which is important to this busy mother of four.

These jeans look great! Did you buy the regular length or tall?

I'm doing the Konmari method of tidying up and am now only buying clothes for myself that spark joy. Thus, rather than only shopping the clearance rack at Kohl's as I used to do, I am now very purposeful in what I add to my wardrobe, and I am willing to pay more for a quality item that I will actually enjoy wearing.

Thanks! I love the Kara jeans. I am going to have to get another pair since I wear them all the time. Other prAna pants do come in a tall size, but the Kara jean does not. Since it can be worn with a large cuff, they are long enough for us tall girls when uncuffed.

If you are going to buy another pair maybe try the Kayla jean, it's the same pant but with a higher rise, so that should solve your issue! :)

Thank you! This was really helpful! I just ordered my first pair from Ashes & rose. I have the taller and post-baby belly so this was great!

Thanks for commenting. I hope they worked out for you. I got a pair of Kayla jeans for Christmas and LOVE them. The fit is better on my tall stature than the Kara jeans. Best jeans ever!!!
