I absolutely love these trousers
0:03
Even though I said they were snug, they are really comfortable. So even though this top is quite snug, I quite like it
0:15
Today's video is a try-on haul and it is courtesy of the brand Stylewe
0:22
So I've been gifted these pieces, but as always, it is my honest opinion
0:26
Now I'm gonna show you each piece, then I'll try it on and you can see what it looks like
0:31
Just for reference, I'm 5'4", I'm a size 18-20, and I do have a large stomach
0:37
so I'm more of a 20 on the bottom. Now Stylewe is an online fashion brand
0:43
and they use independent fashion designers, although they do have a range of their own
0:49
that they've brought out. They have offered my viewers an 18% discount
0:54
if you use the code GG18. I'll put it on the screen
0:58
and I'll also put it in the description box below and I will link to each piece of clothing
1:03
in the description box below as well if you want to go across and have a look
1:07
If you ordered anything from the Stylewe website, it does take around 10 to 15 days shipping
1:14
So expect to wait a while to get your purchases if you do buy anything
1:21
They asked me to choose eight pieces. I've got five tops and three bottoms
1:28
So I'm gonna start with the bottoms. And the first item is these orange pants
1:37
I was drawn in by the color. They have got two big gold buttons at the waistband
1:43
and they've also got a button at the waistband and a zip
1:47
They do have an elasticated back. I'd say these were maybe straight leg
1:54
and they do have a turnip on the bottom. I've got everything in a size 2XL
1:59
which is the highest the Stylewe clothing goes up to. And the 2XL is an 18 to 20
2:05
And the clothes do start at a small and that ranges from a four to six
2:11
to a six to eight, I think, for the small. Now it says these are urban loose pants
2:18
in orange with buttons. And the material is polyester. So with those, I will try on one of the tops
2:27
And that is this T-shirt, which has a horse print on it
2:32
I didn't actually realize that was a horse when I was looking at it online
2:37
but I just love the colors. And I quite like the abstractness of it
2:43
They actually look like sunglasses. I'm not sure what that bit is
2:48
but I just thought that was quite a nice T-shirt. It's got the print on the back as well
2:53
And it's got like a white background, short sleeves, and this is quite stretchy
2:59
And the material of the T-shirt is polyester and spandex. And it says it's an abstract
3:05
graphic, casual, short sleeve T-shirt. So I'm gonna try on both of these pieces
3:11
and we'll see what they look like. Okay, so I'll just step back so you can see what they look like
3:16
I'll show you the pants first. I am wearing my shapewear. And if you haven't already seen my shapewear video
3:22
I will link it at the end so you can go and have a look. I absolutely love these trousers
3:27
I think they are so smart. Unfortunately, they are a little bit on the snug side
3:34
So if I wanted to tuck anything in there, I think I would have an issue
3:39
You can see I can barely get my hand in top. And if I wanted to fasten them up completely
3:47
I would have to move the button. The button just wouldn't fasten where it is
3:52
But they have pockets. They don't have belt loops, but they do have the buttons
3:58
which are kind of draw your eye to the waist. So I think you would wear something tucked into these
4:05
I love the shape of the legs. I think they're quite a flattering shape
4:08
And the length is perfect on me. I am five foot four, so if you were any taller
4:15
these are gonna be kind of an ankle grazer pant, I would say
4:19
So I do think these are really nice trousers. I don't think they look too bad from the back
4:25
I think these would look really nice dressed up or dressed down
4:28
And I love the fact that they've got deep pockets in them. I just really like them
4:33
I love the color. Now the T-shirt is, I wouldn't wear it with these trousers probably
4:41
Like I say, I would have to wear it tucked in just to show off the nice waistband
4:46
And you would spoil the print if you tucked them into trousers
4:49
This T-shirt is very fitting. Like I say, it is a 2XL
4:54
and I think it would have been nicer if it was maybe a 3XL
4:59
but unfortunately the clothing only goes up to a 2XL. But I do like the T-shirt
5:05
I normally prefer V-neck, but I don't mind this round one. I don't think that looks quite so bad
5:10
because of the print, it kind of draws your eye down. But it is very, very snug, as you can see
5:18
I like the length of the sleeve. I do like a short sleeve
5:21
And there you can see it from the back. But yeah, I mean
5:26
the quality of these things are really nice. Very nice. They're well-made as well
5:33
So if you were in the market for something like this, I would highly recommend you have a look
5:38
I do like the T-shirt. It may go better with some jeggings that I've got
5:45
But yeah, at the moment I think that is rather thin. So next we have a pair of jeans
5:53
These are the Better Basics High-Stretched Wide Leg Jeans. They are 70% cotton
5:59
and it says 30% special materials, which I'm not sure what they are
6:05
But they are quite stretchy, so that's a good thing. They've got the faded out patches on the butt
6:13
which I'm not that keen on, but we'll see what they look like
6:17
They're normal jeans, so they've got pockets at the front, and they've got pockets at the back
6:24
And they are quite wide leg with a large hem on the bottom
6:32
So I'm going to try those ones on, and we'll see what they look like
6:36
Okay, so it says on the website these have the classic look of denim
6:41
but the stretchy feel of sweatpants. They are definitely stretchy. I've got them on
6:48
They are very, very tight on me. And these are a 2XL, which is a size 20
6:54
I don't know if I could wear these for a while comfortably
6:59
I don't think I could actually sit down in them comfortably, which is a shame
7:05
If you're going to buy things from the Style We website, or if you're looking at things on the Style We website
7:11
look at the size guides for each thing. Because they're independent designers
7:17
all of the measurements of the things are slightly different. So check the measurements, check your own measurements
7:24
and then check the measurements of the item just to make sure that they are going to fit
7:29
What I'm going to do is I'm going to put on the screen my measurements, and then the measurements
7:34
that say these items are, just so you can get a guide of how they would look
7:39
if you're a similar shape and size to me. I do like the jeans
7:44
I'm not too keen on the faded bits, but that's just my personal preference
7:49
They are a lovely feel. They do feel like denim jeans. Like I say, they're 70% cotton and 30% other material
7:58
whatever that is. That's what they look like from the side. That's what they look like from the back
8:05
Again, not very keen on the faded parts, but like I say, that's my preference
8:11
The length of these on me is perfect. I'm very surprised at the length of the trousers
8:17
because I usually have an issue with the length of things because I am quite short at five foot four
8:24
But the length of these are really nice. They are nice jeans
8:28
but just unfortunately a bit tight on me. So the next item is a shirt
8:35
and it says this is a striped shirt, urban blouse. And you can see it's got that black line print on it
8:44
We've got long sleeves with a cuff that has a button at the end
8:49
It's got a nice pointy collar on it and it is a button up shirt
8:54
Does have the same pattern on the back. It is polyester. So we'll try that on and see what we think
9:01
This is what the shirt looks like. You can see the buttons at the bottom, I can't fasten them
9:11
It's not wide enough around my stomach, unfortunately. I do like the shirt
9:16
I think this is a really smart shirt. Again, my old problem is the sleeves are always too long
9:24
I could turn these sleeves up. You might lose a little bit of the overall effect
9:30
because it is supposed to have the white edge to the sleeve
9:36
But if I turn it up, I could get away with that. But unfortunately this, no
9:42
I suppose I could wear a white cami underneath it and leave the shirt open and that would work quite well
9:48
Or you wouldn't get the effect of the stripes as well, I suppose
9:51
But you can see it is pulling. It's pulling across here. I like the collar
9:57
I'm not usually keen on collared shirts, but this one I think looks quite nice
10:03
That's what it looks like from the side. So when you've got your arm down, you can see the stripes all around
10:08
And then you can see when you put your arm up, it's got the white patch there
10:13
And then stripes on the back as well. It does go down
10:18
It doesn't quite cover the backside, but it does cover the tummy nicely
10:24
if I could get it fastened. It might look okay tucked in actually
10:29
but like I say, these jeans are quite tight, so I don't actually think I could get anything tucked into it
10:33
But the shirt again is lovely quality. It feels lovely and soft
10:38
And I do like the print on it. And actually the more I'm wearing these jeans
10:42
the more comfortable I'm feeling. So then I'll go on to another top
10:46
while I've still got these jeans on. And this is this white cutout top
10:53
You can see it's got the cutouts at the front and it's plain at the back
10:59
So these are actually cutouts. You can see through them. So I think I would have to wear a camisole under that
11:05
And it does have the cutouts on the sleeve as well. And it has the round neck
11:10
And this one is quite a long line. Now this is listed as a plain
11:14
regular fit urban crew neck sweater. And like I said, I got it in a 2XL
11:20
So we'll have a try of that. So this is quite an interesting top
11:25
I have put a black camisole on underneath just so I'm not flashing all my underwear
11:30
The arms are far too long on me. I don't know what size arms
11:35
you would have to wear this comfortably. And the cuffs aren't that tight
11:41
So I'm not sure they would even stay up if I've rolled them up
11:47
I quite like the cutout look. I don't think this is quite for me
11:53
but I can see it looking quite stylish on other people. It's just not my personal preference
12:00
That's what it looks like from the side. It is quite a nice fit
12:06
Like you can see, it is plain at the back and it does cover the backside
12:12
So if that's what you're looking for, it does come down below the stomach
12:16
So, you know, it will cover things if that's what you're looking for
12:20
I think it possibly is the round neck that I'm not liking
12:23
I don't really like a round neck. I much prefer a V neck. I think when you have a big bust
12:29
if you have a V neck, it kind of draws the eye down. So you're not looking so kind of top heavy here
12:37
It's not me, but like the other ones, it is well-made, it is stretchy
12:43
and it does feel like good quality material. But yeah, you would definitely have to wear
12:49
a camisole underneath. Well, I think I would have to wear a camisole underneath
12:54
just so I'm not flashing the underwear. I suppose you could wear different colors
12:58
every time you wore it underneath just to give it a little bit more pop
13:02
One thing I will say, when you're putting it on, it is quite difficult
13:07
Make a fist with your hand as you push your arm through
13:10
because otherwise your fingers keep going through the holes. Now, the next top is this black and white
13:17
long sleeve tunic style. It is asymmetrical hem at the bottom. You can see here, and it is all black on the back
13:30
One sleeve is white and one sleeve is black. And it says this is a color block
13:35
long sleeve, simple, loose blouse. So let's see what that looks like
13:41
You'll have to excuse the fact that I haven't ironed these. I probably should have done
13:46
So this is what this top looks like. Now, this fits better
13:52
It's not as clinging. The sleeves, again, are too long. I suppose you could have them taken up
13:58
If you really like the top and you wanted to keep it, you could have the sleeves taken up
14:03
or you could just roll them up. You kind of lose a bit of the style of it, I think
14:10
if you roll the sleeves up. But if you do like the top, then that is an option
14:14
I quite like the two different colored sides. I don't think I like the asymmetrical hem
14:21
This, to me, doesn't hang right at the bottom. It just feels odd
14:26
Maybe it would have looked better if I'd ironed it. But yeah, I quite like the shape
14:32
I like the V cut here. It's kind of a round neck with a V, which is quite nice
14:39
It is quite low. So, you know, if you didn't want to show any cleavage
14:43
you might again want to wear a little camisole under that. Just gonna roll these sleeves down again
14:49
That's what it looks like from the side. So you can see it's not that clinging
14:55
It is quite, it flows nicely over my stomach. And again, it covers the backside
15:03
if that's what you're looking for. It's a shame I don't like this bit
15:09
I would rather that was kind of, either both of them were longer
15:15
or both of them were that short. I think that's a little bit strange
15:21
but that is again, my preference. You might like that kind of thing
15:27
But this is quite stretchy. And I do like it apart from the asymmetrical hem
15:32
So you can't have everything. Now, the last top is another item
15:39
from their Better Basics range. And this is a plain black top with the white stripe
15:47
It's got a bit of a diagonal feel to it there. And it has got a little cutout at the bottom
15:53
It's got the short cap sleeve and the plain black with the white trim
15:59
at the bottom of it. Now it says this is a Better Basics cool and breathable split hem t-shirt
16:06
It is 80% cotton and 20% special materials. And it is supposed to keep you cool
16:14
because the material absorbs kind of any of your heat or your sweat
16:19
So it is supposed to make you feel cooler in the summer weather
16:24
It does slightly remind me of a beauty therapist tunic. I think that's possibly because my daughter
16:30
had something similar when she worked somewhere a few years ago. It does kind of remind me of that
16:39
But we'll try it on and we'll see what it looks like. So even though this top is quite snug
16:46
I quite like it. I actually quite like black on me. And I think the white detail here
16:54
makes you look a little bit slimmer because it's kind of drawing the eye across the body
16:59
Yeah, I don't mind this at all actually. The sleeves are a nice length
17:04
You can see it is quite snug. It's very fitting. So if you don't like fitting things
17:10
then if you're my kind of size, then this probably won't be for you
17:13
It's not a bad length at the back, even though it doesn't cover the bum altogether
17:18
I don't mind that. It's got a lovely feel to it. This is really nice material
17:23
It is a little bit stretchy. It just feels really nice. I could imagine this would be cooling
17:29
And if there are any beauty therapists or hairdressers or anything like that out there
17:34
this would be an ideal top actually as part of a uniform. It looks smart and it feels nice
17:40
And do you know what? These jeans are so comfortable. Even though I said they were snug
17:45
they are really comfortable. I feel like I don't have them on. I'm quite surprised at that
17:52
So yeah, I like that top. I think that's quite nice. I'm quite impressed
17:58
because I didn't think much of it on the hanger, but I do quite like the look of it on
18:03
It could be a little bit bigger on me, but I do quite like it
18:08
And the last item I have to try on are these black pants
18:13
And they've got a gold, I would say that was a rose gold button detail
18:20
along the waistband and down the sides of the pockets. They are quite wide leg
18:27
just a pair of nice black pants. There is no stretch in these at all
18:32
And they have a side zip. Now I have already tried these on
18:36
and I'm going to tell you now, they don't fit me. I will put them on and show you
18:43
but I can't get the zip up, which is a shame because I really do like these pants
18:48
So we'll put them on and you can see what I'm talking about. Okay, let's just step back
18:55
You can see there is no way I'm going to get that zip on
19:00
Even though I do have my shapewear on, I can't get the zip up at all
19:04
It won't even meet, which is such a shame. I love the button detail around the waist in the pockets
19:12
I think that is really smart. And I think a nice white shirt tucked into that
19:17
would look so nice. They are also too long on me. I would have to wear high heels with these
19:25
And I really don't wear high heels. I find them difficult to wear now
19:29
with having arthritis in my feet. I do find it difficult to wear heels
19:34
So that would be an issue. But if the pants did fit, it is
19:38
If the pants did fit, I could get them taken off. That wouldn't be a problem
19:43
It's just such a shame. I can't get, there's no way I'm going to get that zip up
19:50
Even if I did, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be frightened to breathe. Yeah, it's a shame
19:54
They are polyester and I just think they are really nice trousers
19:59
Yeah, it's definitely a shame. But like I said, I'm going to put across the screen
20:04
for each item, my measurements and the measurements it says on the site
20:08
for each piece of clothing, just so you can see the differences
20:12
Yeah, that's a shame. I need to get myself a nice pair of black pants
20:16
with a bit of detail on it because I really do like that. I think that's really, really stylish
20:23
So those are my items from Stylewe. On the whole, I'm very impressed with them
20:30
The quality of the clothing is lovely. The material is nice. They're made well
20:36
It's just that the sizing is a little bit off for me
20:41
but that could just be because of my large stomach. So please do, if you're going to order anything
20:47
from their website, check your measurements and check the measurements of each item
20:52
And then you won't be disappointed when they arrive because you don't want to wait 10 to 15 days
20:56
for something to come and it's not going to fit you and you will have to send it back
21:00
They do have a 30-day returns policy if you wanted to do that, but better to check upfront
21:07
And like I say, there is an 18% discount code for you
21:11
if you use the code JJ18, which I will put in the description box below
21:16
So I hope you enjoyed that try-on haul. If you haven't already subscribed to my channel
21:21
I do quite a few try-on hauls, plus size, obviously. So if that's your kind of thing
21:27
don't forget to hit the subscribe button and then hit the little bell and you will be notified when I put a new video up
21:34
I try and do at least two videos a week, usually Tuesdays and Sundays
21:38
Sometimes I put an extra one in as well. If there is any clothing brand, plus size clothing brand
21:44
that you would like me to do a try-on haul for, let us know in the comments below
21:48
and I'd be happy to see if I can organize that. So thank you so much for watching
21:54
Thanks to Styleway for sending me these items. I'll see you again soon
21:58
