Levels up every outfit

This was the only sweater I brought to France in the spring, and I wore it with several outfits and it was just the perfect color pop and the right amount of warmth. It is very heavy and bulky, but it felt more chill than a jacket yet almost as warm as a jacket. it’s super high-quality and I bought it after renting it. It’s a very special piece.

Wish I could have bought!

One of my favorite cardigans ever! I love the feel of the yarn and it went so well with loads of things! I genuinely didn't expect such a statement color to work with so much of my wardrobe but it did! It was ever so slightly big but I liked the over sized feel. The cabling is gorgeous. Very warm!

Everyday Statement Piece

Beautiful design and color with fun details. Was surprisingly comfortable and flattering even with the voluminous sleeves. Cut was well done. Found myself wanting to put this on every day and was great for a statement piece and zoom calls.

I felt like the prettiest princess and loved wearing this sweater. The fit was a smidge big or I would've kept it for.

I loved it!!

It was super heavy and good quality. I ended up folding the sleeves because it was a little too long for me.

Warm & great color

Very well made, but starting to show a little wear. Still loved it; and still looks nice. You do need high waisted pants. Was loose as a large.

Great chunky cardigan. Sleeves were a little long but just cuffed them. Medium would have been perfect. Beautiful color, tons of compliments.

Beautiful color

Very pretty sweater! Also pretty heavy. I wore a tank underneath since it was warm. Sleeves are fun and not overwhelming. I loved it and will rent again when the weather gets cold again.

Statement sweater

I loved this sweater! It was such a fun statement piece that made me feel cute and put together while still being casual. I wore it so many times and would happily re-rent it! a few things to note: -It was thick but surprisingly not warm (which I didn’t mind when I wore it to work or to lunch on a sunny day, but I wore it to dinner outside one night and was shivering). -I think this sweater would be hard to wear something over. -The texture of the fabric is definitely a bit scratchy. It’s not a soft sweater, but it didn’t bother me.

Simoft, thick, statement

Dramatic, sculpted shape but it’s plush and soft and thick rather than being stiff. Really beautiful texture and color. Fairly short, not particularly flattering. Also really hard to wear under a winter coat because of the volume of the sleeves.

Thick material so definitely don’t wear on a warmer day if you get hot easily, really cute sleeves and I found the sleeves are less overpowering if you wear heels too

2nd Time Renting This!

I can’t believe I didn’t leave a review the first time, last year, when I rented this sweater. I was actually worried that the quality would be bad because of how long it’s been in the rotation, but it was pristine the 2nd go-around. I get so many compliments on this sweater, from the unique color to the exaggerated sleeves. I was in Melbourne and it’s Winter there, so I knew I needed to rent this again because it’s so warm. It’s warmer than the coat I brought with me, so a very heavy wool. If this drops in price eventually, I will add it to my cart a 3rd time to keep!

Definitely oversized but I wouldn't say it runs large since this is the intended look. Overall a very warm, bright spring sweater.

The perfect statement cardigan!

This sweater was such a fun piece to have! Cutest color and details, and got so many compliments! I sized up for a bigger, more comfortable fit (and that was all that was available). It was pretty big, probably could've been fine with a M to be oversized, but L still worked with a cute bralette under. Would definitely rent again!

Aggressive

It’s giving large and in charge (in the worst way). Very thick sweater, definitely runs large. I love a puff sleeve but goodness, these sleeves are aggressive. Planned to wear to a holiday party but didn’t follow through bc unflattering.

Beautiful but very heavy

Absolutely love the color and the style. The sleeves puff out and it’s slightly cropped. I thought it would be fine to wear at work in the summer (because our AC is frigid) but it was a little too thick for that. Will definitely rent again in winter!
