How to Find the Perfect Fit in Lole Bottoms

Quick answer

Start with the waistband, not the number on the label. If you want a relaxed, adjustable fit for cold or active days, choose a jogger with a dial or elastic waist like the Olivie Tech Joggers or Momentum Tech Jogger. If you want a polished, everyday straight leg, the Connect Straight Leg Pant is the better match. For warm-weather ease, the Bella Skirt gives you an adjustable elastic waist with a relaxed feel.

Lole bottoms fit differently depending on the style, fabric, and waistband design. A jogger with a brushed interior and water-repellent exterior will feel snugger through the hip than a straight-leg pant with side seam vents. That is not a sizing problem; it is a design difference. Knowing which features matter for your day makes choosing a size much simpler.

This guide walks through the decisions that actually change fit: waistband type, rise, fabric stretch, and how you plan to wear the piece. It uses real Lole products to show how those choices play out, so you can order once and move on.

Start with the waistband, because it controls the fit

The waistband is the first place a bottom either works or does not. An adjustable elastic waistband, like the one on the Bella Skirt, lets you fine-tune the fit through the day. A pull-on jogger with a waist adjustment dial, like the Momentum Tech Jogger, does the same for active wear. These designs forgive small fluctuations in weight or bloating and are easier to size when you are between sizes.

A fixed waistband gives a cleaner line but less room to adjust. If you are between sizes and the waistband does not adjust, size up and use the drawcord or belt if one is included. If the waistband does adjust, you can usually stay with your usual size and tighten or loosen as needed.

• Adjustable waistband: better for between sizes and all-day comfort.
• Fixed waistband: cleaner look, but less forgiving if your weight fluctuates.

Match the fabric to the season and the activity

Fabric changes how a bottom fits and feels. The Olivie Tech Joggers have a brushed interior and water-repellent exterior, which makes them warmer and more protective in winter. That brushed lining can feel slightly closer to the body, so if you want a roomier feel, consider sizing up or choosing a style without a brushed interior for milder days.

For warmer weather, the Bella Skirt uses cotton with soft pleats and an adjustable elastic waistband, so it moves easily and stays comfortable in heat. The Connect Straight Leg Pant uses stretch fabric with side seam vents, which adds airflow and ease of movement without a bulky feel. Match the fabric weight to the temperature you will actually be in, not just the look.

• Brushed interior: warmer, slightly closer fit, good for cold days.
• Stretch fabric with vents: breathable, easy movement, good for mild to warm days.
• Cotton with pleats: relaxed, polished, best for warm sunny days.

Decide between joggers, straight legs, and skirts

Joggers like the Olivie Tech Joggers and Momentum Tech Jogger have a relaxed fit with elastic cuffs or a regular rise. They are built for movement and cold weather. If you want a streamlined look for work or everyday wear, the Connect Straight Leg Pant gives you a straighter line with stretch and side vents. If you want an easy warm-weather option, the Bella Skirt is the most relaxed of the three.

Ask yourself where you will wear the bottom most. If the answer is errands, travel, or lounging, a jogger is the practical pick. If it is the office or a casual dinner, a straight leg works better. If it is a sunny weekend, a skirt gives you the least restrictive feel.

• Joggers: relaxed, warm, best for cold or active days.
• Straight leg: polished, stretchy, best for work or everyday wear.
• Skirt: easy, breezy, best for warm weather.

Use the size chart and your body measurements, not your usual number

Lole bottoms are sized by number, but the right number depends on the style. Measure your waist and hip at the fullest point, then compare to the size chart for that specific product. If you are between sizes, choose based on the waistband: adjustable waists can stay at your usual size, while fixed waists are safer sized up.

Pay attention to rise and inseam when listed. A regular rise sits near the natural waist, while a lower rise sits below it. If you have a longer torso, a regular rise may feel more comfortable. If you have a shorter torso, a lower rise can prevent the waistband from sitting too high.

• Measure waist and hip, then check the specific product chart.
• Between sizes? Adjustable waist: stay true. Fixed waist: size up.

Decision rules for choosing your Lole bottoms size

• If you are between sizes and the waistband adjusts: Stay with your usual size. The Olivie Tech Joggers, Momentum Tech Jogger, and Bella Skirt all have adjustable waists, so you can tighten or loosen as needed. Adjustable waist = less risk in ordering your normal size.
• If you are between sizes and the waistband is fixed: Size up. A fixed waistband has no give, and a slightly roomier fit is easier to wear than a tight one. The Connect Straight Leg Pant has stretch fabric, which helps, but the waist itself does not adjust. Fixed waist = size up when in doubt.
• If you want warmth for winter: Choose a jogger with a brushed interior, like the Olivie Tech Joggers or Momentum Tech Jogger. These are designed for cold and light rain. Expect a slightly closer feel from the brushed lining. Brushed interior = warmer but less roomy; size up if you want extra space.
• If you want a polished look for work or travel: Choose the Connect Straight Leg Pant. The straight leg and side vents give you a cleaner line with stretch for movement. Straight leg = best for office or travel days.
• If you want an easy warm-weather option: Choose the Bella Skirt. The cotton fabric, soft pleats, and adjustable elastic waist keep it comfortable in heat without feeling restrictive. Skirt = relaxed fit, good for sunny days.

How these Lole bottoms fit in practice

• Olivie Tech Joggers: Designed for winters with a brushed interior and water-repellent exterior, plus a regular rise, relaxed fit, and adjustable waistband. The brushed lining adds warmth but can feel closer to the body. If you want a roomier feel for layering, consider sizing up. The adjustable waistband helps if you are between sizes.
• Momentum Tech Jogger: Brushed-soft inside, water-repellent outside, elastic cuffs, waist adjustment, and UPF50+ sun protection. The waist adjustment dial lets you fine-tune the fit, so you can often keep your usual size. Elastic cuffs seal out cold but can feel snug around the ankle if you prefer a looser hem.
• Connect Straight Leg Pant: Stretch fabric and side seam vents for easy movement through the day. The stretch and vents make this a good choice for work or travel where you want a polished look with comfort. If you are between sizes, the stretch may allow you to stay true to size.
• Bella Skirt: Effortless cotton skirt with soft pleats, adjustable elastic waistband, and handy pockets. The adjustable elastic waist makes this forgiving for between sizes and comfortable through warm days. The relaxed fit means you do not need to size up for ease.
