Fancy sweatshirts

So I think I posted about this website a while ago & rediscovered via Refinery 29.
Anyways they have some fancy sweatshirts in my size, I'd probably go with either XS or S. Green or black.
Trying to decide which style. If I order both, it'd be in different colors.
Love the style names
#1 Equator with a horizontal zipper

I like the horizontal equator and the dress the best. They're interesting looks and I haven't seen anything like them before. I hope you get something from the website and model it for us!

I think the sideway zip looks like a fashion detail, the horizontal zip looks like a practical gear pouch. The dress, well, no way of judging how it looks until you try it on.

Great stuff Anna. I like the sideway zip sweatshirt best. The horizontal zip looks like a pouch to my eye. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I like the dress a lot.

I love the dress, and I like both sweatshirts -- the horizontal zip seems more interesting and different to me, while the diagonal zip is more conventional but a pretty detail. Both worth exploring. The material of the sweatshirts seems nice too, luxe. This is a very cool website. I also LOVE the knit turtleneck cape that is featured in some of the pics. They have great pieces.

Prefer the Meridian in black and the dress too. I like the Equator but it's true, pouch comes to mind.
I could see you coming up with clever ways to work the zipper feature on the Meridian.

I really love those. I'd love to see you model the dress. I like both sweatshirts but have a sight preference for the vertical zipper.

I like the side zip, especially in that you can keep it partly open (at the top and/or bottom?) for different looks or interesting layering. The horizontal zip I feel might need to pick up another zipper design detail somewhere else on an outfit, otherwise its non-functionality seems a little odd to me - since it's placement seems functional. Green and black both look great and I like the dress.

I've never seen this site before - sorry I missed it the first time around. I like these pieces a lot and can really see you in all of them.

Hey! Cool site. I like the dress and horizontal zip. The vertical zip is too...hehe...street punk for me

I like the look of this label. Definitely great pieces that would work for your lifestyle and also with your footwear too. Nice to see the green included as an option too.

Let us know how you get on.

I like the two sweatshirts. While I often like unconventional shapes for dresses, that one doesn't appeal to me. However, I know you could rock any of these

These are interesting pieces Anna, and I could see you rocking any of these. I especially like the dress -- such a unique shape.

It's hard to choose - I do like them all. The dress is my favorite - it looks both stylish and comfortable, a win-win for me. I liked the sweatshirt with the horizontal zipper best until skylooker mentioned "pouch" - now that I see it, I can't un-see it so I'd be inclined to go with the other one.

The first top looks less sweatshirty and the second more casual. It's hard to say with a dress without seeing it on, but it looks promising.

Is the first one green? I think green would be lovely with your hair.
