Product Insights
The Short-Sleeve Fine-Knit Sweater from Contemporaine, priced at 39 CAD and in stock, offers a sustainable core with 78% reprocessed viscose that diverts waste while retaining softness, breathability, and drape, enhanced by nylon for shape retention, wrinkle resistance, and colorfastness. Its smooth, hypoallergenic hand feel and silk-like softness enable three-season layering, but the main tradeoff is that pilling resistance requires diligent care—using a mesh bag, avoiding softener, steaming after drying, and folding flat in a breathable cotton bag—to maintain its quality.
Verified claims
- Durability
- Nylon content reinforces shape retention, wrinkle resistance, and colorfastness.
- Hand feel
- Recycled viscose retains the soft, breathable, drapey feel of traditional viscose.
- Handfeel
- Smooth, hypoallergenic, breathable, and retains silk-like softness despite recycled content.
- Washing
- Use a mesh laundry bag, skip fabric softener, and steam after drying.
- Storage
- Fold flat and store in a breathable cotton bag to avoid stretching and moths.
- Pilling resistance
- The nylon blend reduces pilling compared with pure viscose, and turning the sweater inside out and washing on a gentle cycle further minimizes pilling.
- Material
- 78% reprocessed viscose diverts waste and retains softness, breathability, and drape.
- Seasonal wear
- The fine knit is breathable and insulating, working as a standalone short-sleeve top in warm weather or as a light layer under a jacket in cooler months.
- Recycled content
- Made with 78% reprocessed viscose from pre- and post-consumer cellulose waste, so the knit diverts textile scraps from landfill and reduces demand for freshly logged trees.
- Sizing
- Buyer reports on sizing are mixed: several reviewers say the sweater runs small and recommend sizing up, while others find it true to size.
- Wash performance
- One buyer reports dark colorways can develop subtle dark lines through the knit after washing even when instructions are followed, while lighter colors remain fine.

Beau tricot
Tricot parfait
Chandail passe-partout
La taille est parfaite pour moi. La longueur des manches juste en au du coude donne un beau look habillé. Tricot léger, peut se porter 4 saisons. Petit chandail pratique.

Fit and colour
I like to be less fitted but it is the largest size. Colour could be less dull and brighter hue
Pretty little sweaters
I love the simplicity and versatility of these sweaters. I bought the black and the blue. They are perfect for casual wear, or to dress up with a jacket.

This sweater is exactly what I have been looking for. The quality is great and the fit is perfect!

Perfect, simple, comfortable, versatile
Ordered a large because I'm a bit busty. Too big so I took it a Simon's store, tried a medium which fit perfectly. Eady exchange. Yes, I would recommend this sweater.
Great Layering piece
This sweater is soft and light. Very comfortable.

Does not wash well.
Even though I followed the washing instructions carefully, the sweater had dark lines through it after it was washed and dried. The colour seemed to collect in the 'wrinkles'. It is subtle but noticeable. The same thing happened to a navy turtlneck that I purchased last year. The lighter colours are fine. I have several as I do like them overall, but it is a shame that they don't wash well. Any advice would be appreciated.

Perfect Fit & Quality – Bought More!
I already had this sweater in green and black-and-white stripes, and I loved it so much that I came back for a red one for myself and a black one as a gift. The material is perfect, and the fit is incredibly flattering. Highly recommend! I also want to thank Simons for the thought and care they put into their eco-friendly and beautifully designed packaging! From the sturdy, tape-free carton to the elegant gift box, delicate tissue paper, and even the thoughtfully designed recyclable sticker—every detail feels intentional and well-crafted. I truly appreciate the effort to make packaging both sustainable and stylish. Simons, you're the best! :o)

Short-sleeve lightweight sweater
Exactly what I’ve been looking for at various stores. But, I am bigger in the chest and it is just a tad tight but certainly wearable and looks great. Large would be too big!

Versatile Lightweight Sweaters for Office Wear
I purchased two lightweight short-sleeve sweaters: one in navy and the other in peach pink. I'm also considering one in chocolate or espresso color. These sweaters are perfect for the office. You can layer them with a jacket or cardigan, or wear them on their own on warmer days.

Order your regular size!
After reading reviews I sized up one size, but it's too big and sadly my regular size is now sold out. Nice light material and pretty colour (the pink) but it's a bit long FYI - the hem hit me below the hips.

Great quality for price
I love the bright tomato red colour. The top is comfortable and well-made, definitely worth the cost. I’ve washed it twice so far and hung to dry and the fabric still looks good, no pilling yet. Fits snugly but not tight. (For reference, I’m 38DD and ordered size L)

A good buy !
I bought this short - sleeved sweater to wear under a blazer . If you are a 36DDD you might want to size up if you like your sweaters roomy . The length of the sleeves is just right and the neck width is just right . A good addition to my closet !
