Aura's collection comes in two silhouettes, and the names do most of the explaining — but not all of it. Here's the plain-language version, so the first set you order is the right one.

What is the Fit & Flare cut?

A shaped top with front and back princess seams that follow the waist and open slightly at the hem. It reads tailored rather than boxy: the v-neck with curved detailing holds its line through a full shift, and the seaming does the work of making the set look intentional at hour eleven. Ciel Blue and Burgundy ship in this cut.

What is the Straight Fit?

The same fabric platform — DYNAMIQ™ four-way stretch, PROTX2®, ecoPEL® — in a relaxed, straight-line silhouette. More room through the torso and hip, a boxier drape, the same nine-pocket system. Black Beauty is the straight-fit colorway.

So which one should you pick?

If you want a defined waist and a more fitted look, go Fit & Flare. If you prioritize maximum ease of movement or simply prefer a relaxed drape, go Straight. There is no wrong answer on fabric — both cuts are the identical clinically tested platform, so the choice is purely about how you like a set to hang.
