It’s winter time here in the Northeast. From what I see on the nightly news, winter weather is slamming most of the country.
Personally, I don’t mind the winter. I am terrified to drive in snow and ice, and I dislike shoveling out my car, but aside from that, I don’t mind winter (meaning the cold). I love wearing comfy clothes and snuggling with my husband or our cats on the couch under an oversized, plush blanket. Oh I wish I could do that right now, but I need to leave for work soon.
When it’s cold outside, I tend to wear oversized and more comfy clothes. Not only do they keep me warm, but I enjoy the “laid back” feeling of comfy clothing.
Thankfully I work where I can dress “down” most of the time (but in a clean, professional way). That is one of the perks of my job.
I recently received a shirt from the brand Ocio Leisure. Ocio Leisure promotes themselves as “the Ultimate, Feel-Good, Loungewear.” That all sounds great to me.
I received to review their Classic Softcore Crewneck top in the color black. I wear a lot of black, and I love that black can go with any type of bottom (jeans, leggings…).
Read the brand’s brief description of this top, and tell me that it doesn’t intrigue you.
You slept through your alarm & you’re late to a zoom meeting. Who do you call? Your Ocio Crew. Designed for an elevated look made easy, this tailored crewneck sweatshirt has stitching details along the seams that make this basic anything but.
Here are some details about this top;
- A true shoulder for a fit that flatter and a length that hits at the hip
- Detailed stitching for lay flat seams make this crew look as good as it feels
- Soft rib detailing at the cuffs, neckline and waist
- Made with our buttery soft, mid-weight custom fabric blend
What I like about this top is that it doesn’t look like a sweatshirt top. It looks a bit dressier and “neater,” if that makes sense? It’s a simply black top that you can dress up if you want with a bold necklace and other jewelry. You can even dress it up with a neck scarf.
I was thrilled to find out that the brand had clothing in my size. Usually when people reach out to me to tell me about a fashion brand, the brand does not carry close in larger sizes. I happen to be a plus size woman. I have lost a lot of weight over the years, but I’m still in the 2X range (20/22). Loungewear I prefer a larger size (3X). The brand sent me a 3X top.
The Classic Softcore Crewneck is available in sizes from XXS t0 4X.
This top is SO COMFY! I was pleasantly surprised when I wore it the other day (to work too!). The fit was perfect. It is a size larger than what I normally wear which gave me just the right amount of “looseness” that I like.
I’m short, so the arms were a wee bit too long on me – but – I like that. When I’m cold (and it was cold the other day when I wore it), the sleeves covered most of my hands. That kept my hands warm. It was perfect!
I cannot show you what I look like in my top right now because it’s in the laundry (we need to pay for our laundry, so I need to get quarters). I also have sun butter on my sleeve from the snack I made for the kids at work the other day. I don’t want so show you the sun butter. Ha Ha.
I wore this top with a pair of leggings. I can see myself wearing with jeans and sweatpants too. It’s very versatile.
I love how soft this top feels too. It’s lightweight but it also kept me warm.
Ocio Leisure clothing is sustainable too.
Sustainable from the get-go: This crewneck is made locally from low impact, traceable and certified materials and dyes in Los Angeles, California. It is low carbon and Certified Plastic Negative, meaning that Ocio facilitates the removal of twice the amount of plastic waste from our environment than we are responsible for.
Nice. I’m glad that the brand does what it can to protect our environment.
This top is available in a variety of colors. They have classic colors like black and white. They also have limited edition colors – High Drive (light blue), Sage and Bloom (pink’ish).
Ocio Leisure has other clothing as well – including things for men. They have hoodies, polos, crewnecks and tank tops, as well as joggers, shorts and pants. You can easily mix and match the pieces too.
