Which is better for the office?

The Levi's Paola, with its button-up front, V-neck and structured A-line, reads more polished for work. The LOFT column is fine for casual offices but looks more relaxed.

Which is more comfortable all day?

The LOFT jersey sheath stretches and moves with you, so it is easier for long days. The Levi's Lyocell crepe is breathable but has less give and wrinkles more.

Is the LOFT worth the extra over the Levi's?

The LOFT has recently sold as low as $28.00, so it is usually the cheaper option, not the pricier one. Check the current price at each store before deciding.

The Levi's TENCEL Lyocell holds its shape better with care, though it wrinkles. Jersey cotton can pill and stretch out, so the Levi's likely wears longer.

Does the LOFT come in petite sizes?

Yes. The LOFT is offered in regular and petite/short sizing. The Levi's Paola lists regular women's sizes only.

Which has better ratings?

The LOFT scores slightly higher at 4.3 from 26 ratings versus 4.1 from 45 for the Levi's. The sample sizes are small, so treat both as close.
