XiRENA Lela Sweater - Electric Violet
The verdict
Fit
Lela is a refined crew on XiRENA's contemporary frame. Electric violet is a statement color; try before committing to ensure the boldness aligns with your wardrobe.
Quality
XiRENA's construction is designer-standard. Electric violet requires careful washing to preserve saturation; expect durability from the construction, care-dependency on the color.
Price check
At $199 (50% off), solid value for a designer piece in a distinctive color. Sale pricing makes the bold shade more accessible financially.
Best for
Color-forward shoppers who want designer quality and aren't afraid of a standout hue.
Care
Hand wash separately for the first few washes to prevent violet dye transfer; lay flat to dry away from direct light.

Fit check: MOTHER
True to sizeMOTHER mostly fits true to size with a snug waist and long legs, but a handful of denim cuts stray a full size in either direction.
Owners and denim reviewers land on true to size as the baseline — one petite reviewer wears her usual 25 "in most Mother styles," and an editorial roundup calls the fit true to size and slightly snug in the waist. The caveat is cut-level: reviewers report the Insider and Looker styles running small and the Ditcher and Dodger running large, with one long-term buyer ranging from a 24 to a 26 across styles. Tops and sweatshirts draw quieter feedback but are consistently reported true to size with a relaxed cut. Inseams run long, so shorter wearers lean on the Lil (petite) line or plan to hem.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size as the default, but check the specific cut's reviews first — size up in the Insider/Looker-type slim crops, down in the Ditcher/Dodger, and consider the Lil line if you're petite.

What owners report about MOTHER sweaters
Third-party coverage of MOTHER's knitwear is thin next to its denim, and what exists is positive but limited. One long-form owner review of a MOTHER cardigan calls it 'a substantial cardigan that provides some actual warmth on cool days' but reports it is 'not uber soft' and was 'very itchy' worn over a tank top, settling down once layered over long sleeves. Retailer customer reviews of the brand's knit tops are favorable and report true-to-size fit, though they number only a handful per style.
- Strengths
- The knits reviewers describe are substantial and genuinely warm rather than flimsy, with design detailing that won over an initially skeptical owner.
- Watch out for
- Softness is the complaint that surfaces — the knits can itch against bare skin at first — and coverage is too sparse to establish any durability track record.
- Sizing
- The limited fit feedback available, on the brand's knit tops, reports true-to-size fit.
