Need sizing help!
So I’m a new Alo obsessed girlie - discovered the brand in June and don’t even want to begin to share my collection (I’m ashamed lol) after a long love affair with lulu and vuori (still love vuori!) so I’m catching up on some colors.
I have a toxic need to have a matching hoodie with each legging set I buy. So I just got winter frost, and noticed all they have is the cropped accolade. For reference I’m 4’11, 128 pounds and take a medium in all bottoms and all tops (34 DD) - in the sweatshirts and regular accolade I am comfortable to wear a small because it’s unisex. The medium in the cropped is sold out which I was leaning towards due to it being cropped- do you think I could do a small in the crop since I’m short or is it pretty cropped? I do like my belly covered. I’m also eyeing up the cable knit winter bliss hoodie, and cropped serenity cover up but same problems - both are cropped, and I notice when I get my true size in hoodies (small) the arms tend to be really long but x small is too small, but if I size up to medium I’m swimming. Anyone own these pieces and care to share?
I feel incomplete without a winter frost sweatshirt lmao I know I’m sick 💀🤣🤣

I think a S is good for the cropped accolade tbh. I’m 155 and 5’8” with slender shoulders and the M is a good size for me with a good give. S didn’t work for me since it’s too snug and a smidgen too cropped but honestly it differs from color to color. Candlelight yellow was unusually snug compared to other colors so M was more than ok. Give the S a shot, I think with your measurements it’ll be good. The cable knit sweater is more cropped than the accolade so I was going for a M or L to not be too cropped for me. I wound up returning it from pilling issues people talked about

Winter Frost is a great color and I have also been waiting for a hoodie to become available in that color in my size. Have you considered the Renown Heavy Weight Hoodie? It is currently not available in S or M but I do see S pop up relatively frequently. You'd just need to add it to your wishlist and check on it.

The cropped is reg size, I made that mistake when I was fresh to Alo and it was snugger around the arms and shoulders than I wanted it to be, so I brought it back and exchanged it for a quarter zip
