That zip back bothers me. I don't like the silhouette either zipped or unzipped. I would have preferred the top be more fitted at least when it's zipped up. The zipper pull also seems like it would be a pain digging into the spine when driving to/from the gym.

The jacket bothers me. I also don't like the red color.

I personally loved the red color. I only like the cowl on the jacket when it was pulled up during closer looks. Cowls are annoying.

I liked the top but the legs kind of reminded me of a candy cane.

I agree. I don't have an issue with the diagonal but it can't go around twice like that. I also didn't like how the grey tops off in that green piping. Forgivable if those are pockets but I don't think they are. I would preferred the grey to go all the way to the waist. A decent look but it doesn't really bowl me over.

I liked this a lot. The model was not the only one who could wear it.

Love love loved the top, and I liked the shorts as well if they were just a smidgen longer ;)

He pointed out that he would rather have not had so much cheek as well.

Too boxy of a look for my taste. Shorts that go above the belly button? And I would expect them to fit more snug. Not sure if the top is supposed to come up between the breasts like that either. Either way, I would rather see it come straight across.

This should have won in my eye. I like this a lot and I would buy this if I was a woman.

Seriously? You'd buy high waisted shorts that ride up that much? I don't see that many people work out in high waisted clothes to begin with.

Kors summed it perfectly that this is so middle of the road that it will be made but found on the sale rack. Still it beats being a terrible look.

It makes her look bottom heavy. Like she is pear shaped. Who wants that? Nobody.

Or women with narrow hips/a flat ass.

Color blocking does not turn an outfit I've seen a million times before into an interesting outfit.

I hate these Heidi challenges.

I am not a fan. The jacket looks prissy to me. Like she wants people to think she exercises but she really doesn't.

u/makeitworkoryouout Sep 06 '13

Yeah, I don't see what the judges saw in this apart from covering your ass/thigh area plus it's done in a sheer fabric? I've also never gotten into the real thin skullcap/hoodie thing going on there. It's like fairy workout gear.

I hated the jacket. Who would wear that floppy thing while working out?

I feel like I'd wear this jacket... To class or when bumming the mall. I don't work out, but this jacket is not work out gear to me. Too frilly. And the angle of the bottoms would drive me nuts.
