Perfect for a rainy beach day

This is the epitome of the kind of item you use Rent the Runway for. Way more than I'd want to spend on a cardigan but perfect for a specific vacation day in the PNW. It was so cozy and warm!

Perfect cardigan!

The Great makes beautiful and comfy cardigans! I highly recommend this one; I’ve been wearing it constantly in the evening during my vacation. Oversized, but not super large. Relaxed fit, TTS.

Kept this for 2 shipments!

Loved this! It was so comfortable and easy to wear, while still looking like you tried. Wore this for a beach trip, everyday, and in-office days. Was warmer than expected for summer, but good for beach nights and strong AC places!

Cozy cute perfect

I never know about sizing for these kinds of sweaters because people say they’re oversized, but you also want them oversized. I went with a 1 for this (am typically a 4) and it was just right - felt cozy without swimming in it. Also not at all itchy! Will rent again when it’s a bit cooler.

Cozy Coastal Style - If you can get it! Rent it!

I love, love, love this sweater! I had to be patient to rent it, but it was absolutely worth the wait. The fit is casual and cozy, and the nautical theme is just so sweet. I received so many compliments, and it was the perfect piece for our beachside California vacation. The weight and style make it versatile enough to wear all year round—I know I’ll be reaching for it in every season. I highly recommend renting or owning—I loved it so much I bought it!

The cardigan of my dreams

I love it so much that I’ve been renting it for three months, and the only reason I haven’t bought it is because it’s outside my budget. The design is beautiful, and the fabric quality is fantastic. It feels warm and comfortable, and it always looks effortlessly cool. The only thing you might miss is having buttons, but even so, I absolutely adore this piece

It is a heavy knitted sweater it is not meant for a light jacket. Wore it on a sailboat in Alaska!

TEAM RTR REVIEW

Love this cardigan!!! It is so cozy. The cardi feels bulky/chunky without being heavy- it’s the perfect summer sweater to throw on at night. I’m typically a true size S in tops/knits and the size 1 fits perfect here and TTS. For a bulkier/oversized look I’d size up one size!

A little big on my small frame

I definitely like the nautical style, but I almost didn’t wear it because I felt like it was just too big and made me look a lot heavier than I am.

Almost perfect

So cute and so cozy. I wore this many times during my rental period, including a weekend trip to the coast and it was honestly so perfect. An easy throw and go kinda cardigan but the design makes it feel elevated. I had to size up bc that was all that was available so it was a little roomier than I would have preferred. The only miss for me is that there are no pockets. Seems like a missed opportunity to make this a truly perfect sweater.

Loved it

This was such a cute sweater, unfortunately much too heavy for summer wear in the south but I did bring it on vacation and it was perfect for travel. Im in between a med/large and the size 2 was perfect with still being oversized.

I’m so sad to be returning this. It’s a little bulky (took up a lot of room in my suitcase) but I got so many compliments every time I wore it and perfect for SF in June.
