Product Insights

The Fine Ottoman-Knit Crew-Neck Sweater from Contemporaine is a $39.95, Vision-certified sweater made from 78% reprocessed viscose, offering dense, substantial weight and a smooth, cool handfeel with subtle sheen. It layers smoothly under blazers, resists curling, and retains shape through washing, but runs small, often requiring sizing up. Tradeoffs include potential scratchiness, wrinkling from sitting, modern hip-length hem dividing opinion, and possible irritation for sensitive skin, though pilling stays attached. Colors remain vibrant and the price avoids green markup, making it a wardrobe-building value at well below comparable ultra-fine knits.

Verified claims

Sizing
Most shoppers size up as the brand runs small and fits similarly to Zara or COS.
Hand feel
Buyers describe a smooth, cool, dense fine-rib knit with subtle sheen.
Weight and layering
Substantial and weighted, layers smoothly under blazers and is warm enough to wear on its own.
Fit
Some buyers report the knit feels hard or rigid, and a purchaser with sensitive skin found the recycled fiber irritating.
Drape
Horizontal ribs keep the sweater from clinging and make it layer smoothly.
Shape retention
Ottoman rib structure resists edge curling and maintains overall fit through washing.
Texture
Horizontal ribs create a subtle sheen and a dense, substantial handfeel.
Care
Machine washable, but hand washing recommended to prevent stretching.
Vision certification
78% reprocessed viscose — more than double the Vision label’s 50% minimum.
Green pricing
$39.95 — no green markup for Vision-certified recycled fiber.
Sourcing transparency
Reprocessed viscose is generally associated with pre-consumer waste, and the sweater carries Simons' Vision label; the listing specifies no third-party certifications.
Value
At $39.95, $29 below the ultra-fine-knit version and DTC-priced through Simons' in-house label, with many buyers saying quality exceeds expectations.
Wrinkle resistance
A buyer notes the sweater wrinkles during wear.
Color richness
Buyers frequently praise the saturated, vibrant colors, and the knit's subtle sheen adds richness.
Wardrobe building
At $39.95, buyers often buy several shades to build a rainbow wardrobe.
Sheen
Subtle pearlescent sheen makes the knit look polished in an office setting.
Skin sensitivity
Recycled fiber blend may irritate sensitive skin; wear an undershirt.
Hem length
Buyers say the hem hits at the hip or slightly shorter than expected, reading as a modern cropped length that splits opinion.
Exclusivity
Designed in Canada, sold exclusively at Simons.
Pilling
Nylon-blend pills stay attached and may feel abrasive to sensitive skin.
Softness
Several buyers explicitly describe the knit as soft and comfortable, with multiple reviewers saying it works for everyday wear.

Chandail classique et qui peut convenir tant aux tenues sport que plus élégantes selon les ensembles. Le bleu royal me semble plus près d'un marine clair (le marine estival) et c'est vraiment joli. Correspond aux tailles contemporaine. Côté chaleur, Je dirais que c'est un chandail mi-saison.

Les couleurs sont très belle

Super confortable, pour moi la taille large tombe parfaitement et n'est pas trop ajuster.

This is a beautiful and easy to wear sweater. It is longer than usual and the material has lots of weight. Great to wear with jeans and can be dressed up with nicer pants for work.

Nice weight for layering & warm enough to wear on its own indoors in winter. Really like the texture but deducted a star as would like it an inch or so longer.

Doesn’t match pjotos

Andrea B.

I specifically look for longer sweaters, and in the photo of the white sweater, it goes to the bottom of her bum in the back. In fact, this sweater hit at my hips. Way shorter. I’m 5’4”. Too short, and very tight in the sleeves.

Subtle striped texture with a little pearly sheen makes this a great casual office sweater. Size up if you want to fit a collared shirt underneath, sleeves are quite snug. Medium just fits me with a cami underneath.
