I’ve cycled, hiked, and even rock climbed in this Nuu Muu exercise dress and now I’m back to do the Nuu Muu cycling review. Watch the video above for my complete take on this fun and flattering dress, or get the details below.
Pros:
1. Comfy Fabric: This dress features lightweight, breathable, soft fabric. This thing wicks moisture like no one’s business and offers cute patterns to boot!
2. Back Pockets: The two pockets at the back offer ample storage and when not in use, can barely be noticed. I love this feature, as it is way less obvious than my cycling jerseys.
3. Supportive Up Top: The fabric is really supportive. As a small chested lady, I have no qualms about wearing it solo (no bra/undershirt), which I love.
4. Does Everything: It’s versatile! I’ve worn it through all of my favorite active activities with no problem (it moves well), and have also worn it to my casual office environment, to meetings with clients, and around the town. I love it as my do-everything dress.
Cons:
1. Very Short: As a modest-to-a-fault person, the shortness of the skirt has caused me a bit of embarrassment. The one time I wore it with nothing underneath, bending over gave an unfortunate flash of underwear to the people hiking behind me (sorry Arches, UT!). This con is easily solved by wearing it with flashy printed tights (my favorite) or over my shammies, which makes me look far less conspicuous as a cyclist in town.
2. Pilling: After only two months of wear, it is pilling at the back. I don’t know if I carelessly rubbed my lower back against something, or am just a destructive person, but I am sad to say the silky-smooth fabric is already pilling. Bummer!
