Way better in person

I wasn't expecting too much with this sweater but I really loved it in person. Wore it multiple times. It's comfy and not scratchy. True to size.

Comfy casual sweater

Wore for an Octoberfest party. Really great thickness for a Midwest fall and so easy to throw on with jeans.

Very soft, very boxy

It’s essentially a square with sleeves which was less than flattering for my body type and made me look wider than I really am.

Navy?

The description says black but I'm 98% sure this is navy. The sweater is super thick but a bit on the short side.

Cute but nothing special

Boxier than some pics make it seem, but definitely comfortable.

Adorable and warm

Loved this sweater and would have bought it, except it has a felted feel to it, almost like it was washed improperly. That being said, I got lots of compliments on it and it was great in 25 degree weather!

Dark parts are navy and that's a win for me

Loved this. It was easy to wear, boxy but not too much...didn't take a picture but wore it plenty. Thick knit that feels good and keeps you warm. I never wore a coat over it...SoCal winter is chilly but not COLD.

I don't like this sweater

This sweater runs pretty big. I looked like a linebacker in it. Also, the pattern/colors look cute online but I just couldn't figure out what to wear it with without looking ridiculous. Also, kinda scratchy.

Nice heavy sweater

This sweater kept me very warm in Colorado in the winter. It's thick and feels well made, and is also a shorter modern cut which keeps it from feeling too heavy.

very warm and needs a front-tuck

This was a cute and interesting sweater! Very thick but I liked that about it. I wore it in the coldest months in NYC. It definitely has a shorter length but tucked in was perfect.

Looked cuter in pics

I ordered a size too big, so it just didn't fit me well. It had too much material around the shoulders and bc it's so thick, just felt really bulky
