Product Insights

The Icône Short Puff-Sleeve Sweater, at $49, offers a cropped fit with oversized puff sleeves that do not lengthen when sizing up. Made from 68% reprocessed acrylic, it is soft and durable but may feel scratchy on sensitive skin. Warm yet breathable, it suits office, transitional weather, and menopause layers, but requires high-rise bottoms and careful care—cold wash and flat drying to prevent pilling and maintain shape. While versatile and value-priced with no brand markup, the cropped hem and voluminous sleeves can make the torso appear short and wide, and the knit lacks third-party eco certification.

Verified claims

Fit
Buyers describe the length as short or cropped, especially on taller frames, and some note the sleeves can look oversized.
Material quality
68% acrylic blend knit is soft and durable but can feel scratchy on sensitive skin.
Use cases
Buyers wear it for office, transitional weather, and menopause layering; several recommend pairing the short length with high-rise bottoms.
Value
At 49 CAD, the price reflects no brand markup, so value depends on fit preference.
Puff sleeve volume
The puff sleeves are moderately puffed but can read as oversized on certain body types.
Care
Puff sleeves hold their shape best when laid flat to dry.
Handfeel
Soft to most wearers, but may feel scratchy for sensitive skin due to brushed texture.
Durability
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry; avoid high heat and fabric softeners to minimize pilling and shrinkage and preserve softness.
Thermal comfort
Buyers report it is warm but not hot, working well for transitional weather and temperature-sensitive wearers.
Pilling
Reviewers report mixed pilling: some say no pilling with cold wash and flat drying, while a long-term buyer notes light pilling on the sides that brushes off.
Shape retention
Puff sleeves and shape hold when laid flat to dry
Versatility
Buyers report the sweater works for office, weekend, weather transitions, and menopause layers.
Temperature regulation
Buyers report the sweater is warm but not hot, including those wearing it through menopause and in transitional weather.
Softness
Buyers: mostly soft, but some with sensitive skin find it scratchy.
Eco certification
The yarn is 68% reprocessed acrylic made from pre-consumer or post-consumer waste; no third-party certification is mentioned in the product data.
Design details
The subtle brushed knit and clean styling read as polished enough for office but still work for casual wear.
Stretch
The knit is soft and stretchy, and the stretch holds up with proper care.
Fabric weight
Buyers are split on weight: some find the knit thicker and denser than expected, while others say the short sleeves make it lightweight enough for year-round wear.

Warm sweater

Christel K.

I love the sweater although the fabric is a bit thicker/denser than anticipated. However, it looks good under a black jacket or blazer. It is also comfortable as an indoor winter garment on its own.

I love the short sleeves. The price point is good. I purchased several colours. Sometimes it's nice to have a sweater with shorter sleeves instead on long sleeves. I also liked the look of the puff sleeve.

Cute Sweater

Karen P.

I liked the idea of the puff sleeve and crew neck. I bought in a few colours. Would have liked a white/black. I hope the sweater wears well as the contents of the fabric could pill, but I'll see as time goes on.

Lovely!

It is soft, flattering, and very pretty

Short puff sleeve sweater

Loved the colour, look, and feel. Would buy another in a different colour.

Love This Sweater!

Marie B.

I love this short puff-sleeve sweater so much, I've bought it in 3 different colours over the past year! It fits perfectly, is very soft, washes like a dream, doesn't pill, and is warm but not hot. I've received many compliments when wearing. I'm hoping one day they make it in a pale blush pink!

Better in person.

Kerry P.

The flecks of colour in the yarn make this sweater even better. Very soft. Would buy other colours.

Lynda V.

Je l’aime beaucoup. Pour moi, je le porte avec du noir ou du marine. Étant donné que j’ai besoin de pantalons pour l’automne, je vais essayer de trouver une autre couleur pour faire différent. Je ne suis pas grande, alors les pantalons pas trop large serait bien .

My 3rd sweater in this style!

Anthea B.

I have the black, cream, and now yellow. Perfect style and warmth for winter, looks and feel like soft wool (not synthetic) and adds a good layer while looking fashionable. Great to style with a silk scarf. The sweater fibres do pill up a little on the sides, but that seems easy to brush off.

très satisfaite

Claire F.

très doux et je le recommande
