Reviews note that the sleeves run long and the fit is roomy, but the open knit makes it well-suited for mild-weather wear.

Product Insights

The Contemporaine Metallic-Accent Openwork Sweater offers a sustainable, breathable knit with a subtle shimmer and soft drape at a sale price of $29.95, undercutting comparable options. However, the sleeves are reported to run 4+ inches too long, necessitating alterations costing $10–20, and the openwork knit is see-through, requiring a layering piece. The body is oversized and boxy yet short-waisted, with sizing down further shortening length. These fit and coverage issues add hidden costs to the otherwise affordable price.

Verified claims

Sleeve length
Buyers report the sleeves run about 4 inches too long and will not stay pushed up.
Body proportions
Buyers describe the body as oversized and too big overall, and one 5'7" buyer found the length a little short.
Sheerness
Openwork knit is see-through and requires a layering piece underneath for coverage.
Competitive price
Sale price $29.95 undercuts LASCANA's $60 metallic sweater.
Hidden costs
The sheer openwork requires a camisole underneath, and sleeves run about 4 inches too long for many buyers, so shoppers may need to budget for alterations.
Fabric feel and drape
The viscose-nylon blend gives the sweater a soft hand and fluid drape, and buyers note the sleeves extend well past the wrist.
Durability
The nylon content adds tensile strength, helping the openwork knit resist tearing and stretching.
Breathability
The openwork knit and viscose fibers create a breathable sweater.
Reprocessed viscose
85% reprocessed viscose matches virgin quality and cuts textile waste.
Price accessibility
Sale price $29.95 CAD is 55% off and enabled by cost savings from recycled viscose.
Care
Hand washing, shade drying, and folded storage preserve >94% filament integrity over five washes.
Mauve color
Buyers praise the lilac/mauve color, and one reviewer loved it enough to buy a second color.
Metallic finish
Metallized threads create a subtle shimmer rather than heavy sparkle.
Metallic thread type
The shimmer comes from metallized threads — a yarn with a metallic coating — rather than genuine metallic fiber.
Design origin and Vision program
Designed in Canada exclusively for Simons and produced through Contemporaine's Vision program for reduced-impact materials.
Recycled viscose quality
The 85% reprocessed viscose content delivers strength, breathability, and hand feel comparable to virgin viscose.
Metallic thread care specifics
Wash in water no hotter than 30°C, use a pH-neutral enzyme-free detergent, and press with a cloth on medium heat (max 160°C) to preserve the metallic threads.

Magnifique!

Noella B.

J'adore mon nouveau chandail ajouré lilas. J'aime la couleur, le tissu doux et le look général. Je n'aime pas les chandails courts ou trop serrés. Celui-ci est parfait et correspond à mes goûts.

Pretty but very long sleeves

Pamela C.

The color was pretty and the sizing and fabric of this sweater were fine but it was a total surprise at how long the sleeves were. They couldn’t even be pushed up as they wouldn’t stay. Disappointing.

Pretty sweater

Joanne Z.

Really pretty sweater but just too big overall

Chandail

Annie S.

Très beau chandail c'est de valeur la manche est vraiment trop longue

Long arms

Judith D.

Did not fit as arms were far too long and loose. Out of proportion for sure

Really long sleeves

Colette A.

The sweater was really pretty and nice quality. But the sleeves were a full hand longer than my arm. I didn’t want to wear it squished up my forearm.

Summer sweater

Tracy B.

Bought for my daughter. She was happy with it.

Manches trop longues

Kathleen G.

Je vais le rapporter, ne fonctionne pas du tout. Les manches sont beaucoup trop longues et pendent au bout des bras.

Love, love, love this swester

Ray R.

Love it so much, I got a second colour.

Beautiful for day or night

Paula M.

This sweater is really beautiful. The colour could be wore with anything and the metallic dresses it up. I usually wear this brand but I found the length a little short for my liking (5'7") and the sleeves are too loose. I did end up returning it.

Chandail maille
