We tried out Boohoo's sustainable collection and had completely different experiences

Boohoo is one of the main retailers to reveal the most tempting fast fashion collections week in week out.

Now, the online store have an extensive sustainable range which will hopefully change the way some of us shop.

We thought, why not give the range a go to see what all the fuss is about and see what we think of their recycled materials.

And admittedly, we both have had a completely different experience.

The lovely Boohoo team let me have a try of their black asymmetric skirt and crop top co ord, a cropped tie cardigan and ruched trousers, while Jada tried a brown mix of items including a shirt, high neck bodysuit and shorts.

The tie cardigan I really loved but could have just done with a size up.

I don't mind that it had a bit of cleavage on show but had to be careful I didn't show a little too much when it moved a little.

I enjoyed wearing this material and for the price bracket it didn't feel too cheap... it just feels like a bargain in all honesty.

You can pick it up here for £11.25 in the 25% off sale.

Then as for the black co ord- this fit like an absolute glove.

With anything bodycon I'm always a little apprehensive with sizing as it can vary so much between retailers. This fit didn't disappoint- the slit was perfectly high for a sexy but sophisticated look and the top had enough room in it to feel comfortable also- I am a UK size 10.

Also an absolute bargain for both items which cost less than £20 combined.

My rating: 5/5

Now as for Jada's experience of this particular order, her order wasn't such a hit...

"The delivery was prompt which I can't fault but on opening the package I was instantly disappointed.

The material felt thin and cheap, but with prices like that there's no surprise. I tried it on and hated how it felt against my skin. I had it on for all of 30 seconds before needing it off me. "

"I thought that it might work for loungewear but I honestly don't think I'll ever wear it. It's nice to see brands attempt to be more sustainable with their products but I think in the case of Boohoo it's a miss."

Jada's rating: 1/5 stars.
