Theory Clothes...

honu · Jul 30th, 2006, 10:29 PM

I was in Macy's today and passed by the Theory section. On a whim, I tried on a jacket. OMG...I loved the cut and fabric of the clothes! I am pretty much a BR Petites, sometimes Ann Taylor Petites and Gap kids.

Anyone wear Theory? How is the fit? I would love to buy a pant suit and also a pencil skirt.

TIA~~~~

I love the look of these clothes! I have tried on a few blouses which were too small on me, even the large sizes. Either they are cut small or I was PMS'ing

. I usually wear a size 8 or a M but my shoulders are pretty broad so sometimes things are too tight still, and if I go up a size the middle is too baggy.

Maybe someone else will have had better luck - I sure wish they worked better on me!

I agree that they are definitely cut small, but they have fabulous fit! That said it all depends on the body type that you have :)

They're SO soft!
I wear Theory and love it!

If they're cut small, I'm there!

I find that even the BR petites are loose on me.....which is why I need clothes that fit, instead of altering everything. I think Theory has size 0 and 00?

I used to work for Theory..they have the best stuff ever.....They make 00 now for petites..and they are worth EVERY penny..99% of all my clothes are Theory...the fit and fabric is amazing

I absolutely love theory- the clothes are reasonably priced (not cheap but not couture) and comfortable and simple and chic. Big thumbs up from my end. I think my sizes stay the same for Theory, but that is just my body...

Oh no....I want some Theory now!

I was looking at the Nordstrom sale and they had some pieces on sale, but of course my size was sold out. Grr...

I heard the Theory store in Santana Row in San Jose closed!

I guess I'll have to go back to Macys and Nordstrom at and take a closer look...like usual I'm always the last to know these things!

My sister had a Theory catalog and those clothes were NICE! I really liked the designs.

Theory is amazing.. especially their dress pants. Very flattering fit and great fabric. Worth the money for sure.. I have several pairs and they are my work staple :) I might buy some other work pants here and there, but I always end up going back to Theory when I want to look my best.

Another Theory lover! I have some things from them and I love them all.

I love Theory too...great classic and clean line!

99% of my jackets are Theory.

i LOVE Theory's style-very classic and modern but not too trendy. i have been wearing pieces for 10+ years-from pant suits and dresses to denim trousers and wool sweaters. the quality lasts forever.

my best friend used to work for Tahari (Elie Tahari) a few years ago and she got me this wonderful simple leather Theory tote for my birthday awhile back. i thought she was the luckiest person and i wanted her job so badly

I LOVE THEORY!!!!
