Warm, Cozy, Perfect

I chose the larger size for me and it was really comforting, slightly oversized feel, super warm during this last NYC cold snap of early spring.

loved

wore this a lot. Very warm and cozy, great as a light jacket over long sleeves. A bit too warm for indoors and hard to fit under a coat.

Very warm and cozy

The knit is thick and is super cozy for fall. The openings for the wrists are snug so sometimes my bracelets and watch would get caught in the knit. Very versatile style that can go with a lot of looks.

This goes with everything . I mean really everything

I loved this, thought about buying it… super soft and can be worn with a nice skirt for work… or with jeans or even with leggings and a tank top. Loved this.

Thick quality sweater

Just a good chunky cardigan. Not too short not too long, structured enough that it looks nice open. Not too busy in the pattern.

Would size up next time

I got true to size and it fits but I’d prefer a more oversized look in this style so I’d definitely size up if I get it again.

Mmm It's Okay.

Like the knit of the sweater, on my boxy, broad shoulder frame - it looked a bit awkward. I wore it once to work...

Very chunky & warm

This fit well, it's oversized but meant to be that way.. it was just too chunky/heavy for what I needed.
