#Activewear365 - Pink Clove Haul, Try-On, Review & Look-Book
01:04
The second instalment in my #Activewear365 social media series is here.
This series is designed to showcase brands that offer activewear/loungewear or casual items for people of varying sizes, 365 days a year and not just in line with the January fitness hype. Comfort is a daily necessity in my opinion, so when I look for clothing to chill in, work out in and casual bits to wear on a day to day basis I need reliable brands that offer garments that fit well, are durable, flexible, versatile and most importantly on trend.
I have hand-selected brands which I believe to be the front runners in this field.
This time I bring you Pink Clove UK
The ladies at Pink Clove were extremely kind to gift me five items, which I have tried on for you guys in my haul video on the tube, why don't you take a little watch?
A few basic stats for you before we get started - I am a 5ft 4" size 18/20 chick with a size 38GG/36H rack. I have quite a short body my legs are quite short too! All round I'm just short! Body shape wise I would be considered a full hourglass figure as I have a relatively small boob to waist to hip ratio.
Available from a size 16 to 24 - I am wearing a size 20.
FIT
This sweatshirt is extremely oversized and it's long-line (coming to about 4" above the knee on my 5ft4" frame. I ordered my regular size (20) and it was quite generously sized. No part of this sweatshirt was fitted in any way.
FEEL
The sweatshirt is really comfy and soft to the touch. I love the oversized baggy look with sweatshirts so this is really up my street.

STYLE TIPS
It comes in a range of different colours and it's versatile enough to dress up in true "Ari" style - teamed with a pair of heeled thigh high boots or you can wear it in a more casual style with either jeans and Timms for a casual weekend look or just with sports leggings and trainers for fitness.

Both available from a size 16 to 24 - I am wearing a size 20 in both.
FIT
Overall the sizing on these items run quite small. It is advertised as "Slim Fit" and they ain't lying here, the bottoms are far too tight for my comfort. I am not that keen on fitted joggers I much prefer them to be loose so I should have taken heed of the "Slim Fit" label. If that's your thing then stick to your own size but if you want something baggier - then deffo size up!
The cropped hoodie was super cute! The bell sleeves are right on trend and they give the tracksuit a really unique style. The arms were a tad snug on the bicep so I should have really sized up in both items.
FEEL
This tracksuit is a lovely material and it's really soft to the touch. I wish I had taken heed of the advice of the label "Slim Fit" Maybe then I would have been more comfortable in the set. If you're not keen on showing tummy then this set isn't for you. The cropped hoodie does ride up with any arm raising movements.
STYLE TIPS
I teamed this casual style just with chunky trainers, with the set being more fitted you could style it with some heeled booties or even some barely there heels for a more urban dressy look. This is more of a loungewear set rather then using this for fitness.
Both available from a size 16 to 28 - I am wearing a size 20 in both.
FIT
This tracksuit it EVERYTHING. It is really generous, not oversized but lovely and stretchy and roomy. The material is quite thin but with the addition of a cami or tee underneath it would be perfect for weekend wear.

FEEL
This set is so comfortable, I have practically lived in this set since receiving it. Not restrictive in any way, it's so soft & simple.

STYLE TIPS
This is perfect for weekend vibes, maybe a spot of shopping or lounging at home. You could wear it work out as it is lightweight but it's more of a casual everyday type of tracksuit then something for working out.

Overall Impression
I am smitten with the khaki tracksuit and I can see me living in the oversized hoodie. I am so glad that Pink Clove offer loungewear options, making it simple to be able to grab something you can just chill in and some things which will be suitable for working out. To me these options are far more for fashion than fitness but they are versatile enough to make it work for both.
