Sexy and cozy all at once! My fiancée was obsessed with this sweater and basically made me buy it.

Wear a nude bra underneath as the knit is large.

Fun, flattering Cold shoulder sweater

I am a solid 8, and the medium was perfect to wear with leggings. It's comfortable, yet flattering! I will rent again!

Flirty

I was afraid it would be too hot but it is not tight knit. So wear a tank under if you get cold. The shoulders are so flirty and the sweater is made well. It got lots of compliments at our Friendsgiving dinner.

Cute rental, not sure about the cold shoulder

This rental is fun, but not one I'd buy. The cutouts on such a thick knit...I dunno if I like it. I'd enjoy this sweater way more without them. It is a smidge itchy. Not in a "can't wear this" kind of way, just in a "won't buy this" way. The weave is wide open so you definitely have to wear a cami underneath. It's cute, just not a keeper.

Fun sweater but kinda see through

I love the slouchy fit of this sweater and unlike other reviews I didn't find that it ran large. I do think I'll need to wear it with a cami underneath as the large knit makes it entirely see through - bra on display not the most appropriate look for work. Otherwise total winner

Great soft sweater

Soft sweater with a little flare. The open shoulder added just enough fun. I could see in time it getting too stretched out, but perfect as a rental. Its loose knit so definitely a tank underneath.

Cozy, Sexy Sweater

Wore this for a snowed in weekend and it was perfectly warm and comfortable with the cold shoulders. It runs and sits large, as it doesn't retain its shape, it lengthens as you wear it. Personally, I wouldn't rent again for this reason but I don't regret wearing it at all, I felt low-key sexy. I paired it with buttery soft leggings from Amazon and Uggs FTW.

Rented this for my Alaskan cruise.

Very soft and comfortable, runs a tad bit big but not terrible. You do need to wear a Cami underneath. I live in Florida but this will be perfect for the few cool nights that we get. I ended up purchasing it.

Very flattering and comfortable!

Great for every day or dressed up with faux leather leggings. A semi wide stitch so should be worn with a tank top or a nude bra.

Absolutely love this sweater, might be keeping!

It fit me right to the bottom of my butt which was great, I wore it with leggings. I'm 5'6 and 135 for reference. The shoulder cut outs looked nice, but the sweater was extremely warm even with the cut outs. The fit was loose, but not baggy, highly recommend!

This is a very nice sweater for an updated, put-together casual look.

I found the sweater to be soft and comfortable and very roomy in the chest and stomach area, yet fitting true to size in the shoulder and upper back area. I have long arms and the arms on this sweater fit perfectly length-wise. It fits slightly over-sized, which I assume was intentional, which makes this sweater work well with skinny jeans or leggings....but it wasn't long enough to cover my entire butt. The only reason why I didn't purchase this sweater is because I feel eventually the "open-shoulder" look will not be in style and would look dated, so why own a "trendy fashion item" when you can just rent!!! Great concept, Rent-the-Runway!

Soft and sexy

This sweater was perfect for east coast/westcoast wear. I actually traveled in it from my and went straight to a Thanksgiving dinner in LA. The weave is very loose (adds to its soft texture) so I had a black cami under. Will rent again.

I just wore it on a casual Friday at work.

The fit is pretty loose and there are large holes in the knit, so be sure to wear a tank underneath or a nude bra. It's really comfortable and cozy and I got some compliments on it. It was a little long on my arms though, but if you look at the model, I think that might be how it's supposed to fit. I honestly might purchase it.

Cute sexy sweater

Definitely an open weave sweater. You'll need a cami underneath. But this is a super sexy sweater! Comfy too. I've been a medium in a lot of the designers i've rented on rtr but the small was just fine.

On trend knit and style - got lots of comments!

Sweater fit great, requires and undershirt as the knit is open. Got it brand new eith the tags still one, and overtime I could see the knit fraying or fuzzing. Even with the open knit, it is still quite warm, so best to wear in cold temps! This could be worn in so many ways for so many different types of events. I got lots of compliments, and I would recommend!

Runs true to size and was very comfortable. The weave is looser than it looks on the site, so it isn't too heavyweight.

Cute sweater, lots of compliments

This is a lightweight sweater with a very comfy, forgiving cut. I got a lot of compliments. The only thing, and this is minor, that I didn't care for was the size of the shoulder cut-outs. They seemed too big in comparison to my arm and made it a little too breezy in the armpit area for winter!

Comfortable and Cute!

Loved the way the sweater fit, just the right length to wear over leggings for a night out on the town. The material was just a touch itchy, but I'm pretty sensitive about that kind of thing and I was fine all night. I could have used a warmer jacket on top but I wasn't sure about what would work with it. So if you're going to be outside in the winter, find a coat!

Fun sweater

I enjoyed wearing this sweater. It was very comfortable and warm but not too hot. I also liked the length. Only negative was that the neckhole seemed a little stretched out and the knit was large enough to make it see through. You will need a camisole underneath.

Cute and Cozy

I paired this sweater with jeans for winter activities in the adirondacks and it did not disappoint. It is a cozy and comfortable (fit a bit loose) cold shoulder top that managed to keep me warm despite below freezing temperatures. Definitely wear a tank with it as the knitting is quite large.
