I love the bolero and love that you can separate the crop top from the bolero itself. The material itself is plush and comfortable. I could have probably sized down to L instead of XL but I have larger arms so chose XL so the bolero part would be comfortable. If there was an option to do XL for the bolero and L for the bra that would be good. I have used the bolero for work, everyday wear, and pilates and it works well for it all. I super recommend getting the matching flare leggings!
