I Tried Anthropologie’s Best-Selling Styles…
My friends have been shopping at Anthropologie for years, and they often tell me I “need” to give this retailer a try. They suggested two of their best-selling styles for me to start with. Anthropologie pieces are both beautiful and well-made, although they do tend to be on the pricier side of items that I share here. I knew I had to give them a try. Keep reading to see what I thought about their popular Colette Pants and their Somerset Maxi Dress!
Anthropologie Collette Pants
First, I am wearing the Colette Full-Length Wide-Leg Pants by Maeve. The gorgeous rose pink caught my eye immediately. I love the vibrant color and the flowy, wide-leg style. When I tried them on, I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they were.
I was sold immediately by the review section on this product. Women LOVE the flattering fit of these pants, and review after review labeled them the “Perfect Pant.” I have to say, I agree! They fit so well, and I’m wearing my usual size 29. You can also grab these in a cropped version, which will be great once warm weather arrives!
I paired the pants with a Striped Cotton Button Front Shirt for a casual and dressy look. The pants could pair with so many different tops, like a navy or neutral-colored sweater while it’s still cool outside, or with a flowy blouse or tank this spring and summer. I wore these recently with a white tee and cardigan, and I got several compliments on them! The pants were perfect for my height (I’m 5’6″).
Anthropologie Somerset Dress
Next up, we have the Somerset Maxi Dress. It comes in several colors, but I selected the turquoise. You gurls know I love bright, happy colors, and I thought these stunning colors would be perfect for both spring and summer. I love maxi dresses for their comfort and versatility, but if maxi dresses aren’t your favorite, you can grab it in a shorter length.
When I tried on this dress, I was obsessed with the fit. You don’t usually see me using the word obsessed, because I’m only talking about clothing. I’m ruler-shaped, so I don’t have many curves. Plus, I hold my weight through my waist, so I don’t gravitate toward items with an elastic waist. This dress gave me curves and made my waistline appear smaller than it is. The material was light and airy, and the empire waistline was flattering. The dress also had pockets, which is always a plus. It looks stunning with heels or sandals, or you could even wear a cute pair of white sneakers to dress it down!
I can’t wait to wear this dress more as the weather warms up. I think it would be a great addition to your suitcase for a tropical vacation, perfect to wear to a wedding, or just a great piece to add to your wardrobe for church or dinner dates!
My conclusion…I really don’t like my friends right now. 🙄 They introduced me to a retailer that will be getting more business from me, which I’ll like, but my bank account won’t. Lol!

I like the pants on you. I love the dress – mainly because of the colors. I went in to the closest Anthropologie store, but they didn’t have my size. I’m too scared to do anything semipermanent to my brows…but I think they look great on you.
I have loved the Somerset dress for years from afar but not the price. I finally tried the Quince version, which is much less costly but only came in two solid colors. It was an easy way to figure out that the style felt wrong for me, as I lean toward things that are more classic and sporty. But it was worth a try, and I still love those dresses on others, including you!
I like the dress in the shorter length. I am only 5’2″. I am like you, as I carry my weight in my waist.
I think your brows look great!
Those pants are adorable and I now know I’m going to have to find one of their stores to try them on. The pink if fabulous also. Bright and cheery, but pairing it with the navy really keeps it work appropriate. I’d love to see a Loft post some time although my husband may not want me getting ideas.
I like the pants a lot. I have the same style in natural color from JCrew factory and navy ones from Loft at more affordable prices. Anthropologie does offer more colors that I like. I’m going to keep checking for sales. The pink outfit looks great on you. Your eyebrows look good too. I get mine colored when I get my hair colored every month. The dye stays in the skin only till I shower and wash my face.
Love the maxi dress. Your eyebrows look great
That’s one of my favorite verses.
I am obsessed with the Somerset dress. It is perfect. I have 3. I am 67-5’6″, 129. Size small.
I have the black eyelet, blue/purple/silver shimmery, and a colorful print. All for my son’s summer tropical wedding. They are flattering and well made. And pockets!
I first found the dup on Quince-which is very well made, and comes in silk. I wear a medium in the Quince brand. Quince only has solids. But I love everything from Quince. I got my husbands entire wedding wardrobe from Quince-all linen, blazer, pants, shirts and shorts. Perfect for a tropical beach wedding.
Anthropologie is great quality and return policy. The Somerset dress has been copied by many labels, but Anthro tops them. Many patterns, and watch for sales-I got all of mine on sale at great prices. Cannot say enough about the dresses!
I’m thrilled to hear you like it so much. I messaged my friend and told her I didn’t like her very much for turning me on to it. Lol!
My sister turned my into a Quince addict-I shame her all the time for that. Ha-we both love quince. And Anthropologie…a quality store-just watch for sales and you can catch a great bargain. Cheers!
Love the dress! May have to order it, but I like several of the patterns 🤔
