Experience with pj jackets?

cjh

Does anyone have opinions or experience with this jacket? It is a great color and I love the shine. But the size has me puzzled. I usually wear a medium, running between size 8-10, and this one says sizing is either 6-8 or 10-12. I just never know what to think about that, and every brand is so different. Help, if you can! Thanks!

Two things to consider:

1. Will you be wearing this in bed, as actual nightwear? Or is this more loungewear, i.e. what you'd wear around the house during evenings/lazy days?

2. How much do you move around in bed? Do you need nightwear to be tight so you don't get tangled up in it, or do you prefer looser clothing while you sleep?

For me, this would be loungewear, something I'd put on when
I got up, but not practical for me to wear in bed. I move around too much, and can overheat quite easily. I'd try both on, but probably go for the bigger size for comfort.

I was thinking it would be for party/evening/arty occasion wear. Like it's shown in the online store. That's why I'm most concerned about fit.

I wouldn't wear this as pajamas either. For that I wear light cotton short sleeve t-shirts. My cover-up (robe) is a fleece drape cardigan.

I would order the 6-8 and 8-10 and then decide which fits best for your needs. What ( how bulky?) will your under layer be and how do want it to fit?

Hmm, you could try emailing Topshop directly and asking them for the exact measurements for both sizes.

For me it would be all about the shoulders. I'd email and ask for the shoulder widths for each size. Or just order both and try on.

This is a gorgeous jacket. Hope it works out!

That is a beautiful evening jacket. Because it's pj-inspired, I bet it'll be a little oversized, so you could order accordingly. There is a Topshop size guide on the Nordstrom page the find links to--did you check out where your measurements fall on it?
