L’Academie clothing always ends up on my Revolve favorites list as their styles tend to be more elegant and stylish but still contemporary. Their prices while not designer or luxury can be a little on the higher end for mid-priced womens fashion. Unless you snag a sale find. This is my experience with the brand so far from L’Academie dresses to pants sizing, quality and choice. Plus what’s on my wishlist this season.

L’Academie Review
Here’s what I’ve found so far when it comes to this women’s fashion brand. Both the good and the bad and some tips for ordering.
L’Academie Dresses
I’m a girly girl so always end up with more dresses and matching sets than anything else. This green midi ribbed knit turtleneck dress was my first purchase from L’Academie. I choose it for the color, fit and going into Spring. As I always end up too hot in long sleeve sweater dresses in Spring.
The fit was absolutely perfect and I’d say a true XS. The color was exactly as shown online and considering it’s 55% nylon, 40% acrylic, 5% wool it wasn’t too hot or itchy. The only downside is that it’s dry-clean only. I’d normally style it belted but Chanel has my gold chain belt now for repairs.
The line has mastered the art of elegant, sophisticated dressing with chic and polished pieces complete with stylish details. These contemporary pieces are effortlessly easy to style with your favorite denim or classic heels. Shop a range of feminine dresses, chic tops and easy-to-pair bottoms.
L’Academie playsuits/rompers
I’m a big fan of rompers, playsuits and jumpsuits as they’re so easy to throw on. This was another great fit and I love the color and pockets. It does crease really easily and you do have to unfasten the buttons to take it on and off. However, it’s on sale now for nearly half price so definitely a good sale find.
L’Acadamie pants/trousers
I was so excited to order these high waisted, black leather pants as a change from my fitted pair. As I thought they’d go perfectly with the more fitted tops I ordered and I get so much wear out of leather pants.
However, as much as I love them and they were the absolute perfect fit the cut just wasn’t flattering. As much as I wanted a looser style, I wanted them baggy like they looked on the model, not clown pants like they looked on me. There was so much material around my thighs it was ridiculous and I have muscular thighs so things are normally tight.
What I will say is that the quality was great, they were super soft. The sizing was also perfect too. They just went on sale so they’re definitely worth giving a go if you’re looking for a high waisted, less fitted style. Especially as they offer free shipping and returns but just be prepared that they may be too baggy.

What’s trending on L’Academie right now
I have the white satin midi dress on order so will add photos and add to the review once it arrives. I got it for Croatia this Summer. There’s lots of L’Academie sale finds on here as well as their newest pieces including a striking blue pants set, stunning slip dress and neutrals to be able to mix and match.
I’ve found their sizing to run true to size but your best bet is to scroll to the bottom of each product and read the reviews where there’s a sizing review based on peoples feedback.
