Quick Answer
From my experience and reviews across Lorna Jane’s official site, the brand runs slightly small in some pieces—especially leggings and sports bras with high compression.
👉 If you are between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit, size up.
Fit and Sizing Insights
1. Leggings
- True to snug fit: Designed for compression and support, making them ideal for yoga, pilates, or gym training.
- Fabrics like Nothing 2 See Here™ and Bare Minimum™ have stretch but hold firmly.
2. Sports Bras
- Slightly smaller compared to many U.S. brands.
- Adjustable straps and hook closures help, but size up if you prefer less pressure.
3. Tops & Jackets
- Most tops, jackets, and hoodies fit true to size with room for layering.
How to Choose the Right Size
Follow these quick steps before buying:
| Action | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Check the size chart | Confirms waist, hip, and bust measurements |
| Read product fit notes | Many styles indicate “slightly smaller fit” |
| Think about intended activity | Hot yoga = size up for flexibility; daily casual = true size |
| Consider fabric stretch | Higher compression fabrics feel tighter on first wear |
👉 If you like compression and sculpted fit, stay true to size.
👉 If you prefer comfort and flexibility, go one size up.
Comparison: Lorna Jane vs Other Activewear Brands
| Brand | Typical Fit | Notable Features |
|---|---|---|
| Lorna Jane | Slightly small | High compression, premium technical fabrics |
| Lululemon | True to size | Buttery-soft Nulu™, flexible performance |
| Alo Yoga | True to slightly roomy | Fashion-forward cuts with medium compression |
👉 Lorna Jane focuses on compression and support, so it feels firmer than Lululemon or Alo Yoga.
