Cleo Harper Review
I have wanted a Cleo Harper Coco bra for what seems like forever!I think I had a tab open on my browser for literally 5 months. I don’t know why I never bought one, probably because I couldn’t choose!
well…I finally decided to take the plunge and buy a couple. The reason is I’m taking a trip where I want to workout and I’ll also be at the beach at the end of my trip. The two bralets I chose can be worn as sports bras and for swimming. How cool is that?
So what did I get?
Coco Bralet – Evergreen, Size XS, $49 USD
Oxyenta Bralet – White, Size XS, $49 USD
Be aware that Cleo Harper is an Australian brand so make sure you change it to USD, although it will switch to AUS when you checkout. The shipping was incredibly fast, and I received the items five days after I ordered them.
The bras came packed in a cute white bag. The bralets are a really thick and soft material. The website doesn’t state what the material is, but that it’s “Cleo Harper’s exclusive BodyCapsule™ fabric.” Whatever it is, it’s really nice. It reminds me of the fabric in the Sarah’s Day X WFA collection. They have nice, high quality removable cup pads that I’ve come to expect from Australian brands (like Lorna Jane and White Fox Active). They don’t fold or bend when you wash them and they don’t really slide around. I don’t know why we cant figure this out here in the US.
I was worried about the cutout of the Coco bra and the support it will provide, but the bra feels very secure! The Oxyenta bra also has great support, even with a mostly open back.
The only thing that I found a little tricky was deciding what size to get. Their sizing chart is not super helpful, and I normally size up in sports bras because if they are too tight on my shoulders, I tend to get headaches. It’s not like I could easily return or exchange them if they didn’t fit, so I debated between sizes. I decided just to go for it based off of their “measurements” and I think it worked out. Take your best guess if you’re purchasing! The other downfall is they don’t offer a large variety of sizes (XS-L) compared to other brands.
The gold hardware with the company name is really chic. Overall I really like the bras. They are supportive, cute, high quality, and I can’t wait to try them out as a swim top too!
My takeaway, if you’ve been interested in trying a Cleo Harper bra, do it, you won’t be disappointed!
