Buying Guide

Cozy relaxed weekends at home
Customers describe this oversized sweater as a go-to for laid-back weekends at home, praising its soft drape and all-day comfort without looking sloppy. Reviewers note the roomy batwing cut is intentional and drapes well, though taller wearers report the body runs short. One buyer also had to exchange it more than once due to sizing differences between seasons.[1]
Autumn layering for cool days
Customers describe wearing this oversized-fit wool and alpaca-blend sweater layered over a tee, with room to slip a long-sleeve shirt underneath. It's light enough to layer over other clothing while still adding warmth on cool fall days, without feeling bulky.[1]
Layering a base under a wool-blend sweater to tame the itch
Reviews indicate the wool and alpaca blend feels prickly against bare skin at the neck and wrists. Several shoppers reported that a long-sleeve tee underneath made the sweater tolerable, with one analysis describing it as eliminating the itch.[1]
Easy everyday pairing, in more than one color
Reviewers describe this oversized wool and alpaca sweater as comfortable and easy to pair with everything, especially for relaxed weekends. Some customers say they bought the same sweater in several colors, choosing hues like blue, black, and wheat for how wearable they are.[1]
Layering under an oversize coat
Reviews analysis suggests pairing this sweater with an oversize coat, since the batwing sleeves are reported to be bulky under regular coats.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Oversized-Fit Touch Of Wool And Alpaca Sweater: Choose this if you want a warm, lightweight knit with a touch of wool and alpaca (12 percent alpaca wool, 5 percent wool) in an intentional oversized batwing cut with drop shoulders, a boat neck, and a cropped high-low hem that reviewers say drapes softly and layers easily for cool days without bulk. It suits relaxed, versatile wardrobes—buyers reportedly reorder it in multiple wearable colors including black, blue, and wheat. Note that the wool/alpaca blend feels prickly on bare skin at the neck and wrists unless you add a long-sleeve base layer, sizing has reportedly shifted between seasons (one buyer exchanged twice), the body runs short for taller wearers, and the bulky batwing sleeves fit best under an oversize coat.[1] | Stretch Solid Polo Sweater: Choose this if you want a polished, polo-collar knit that reviewers say works for casual offices or video calls without feeling overdressed, and that layers easily over a tee or under a jacket thanks to its lightweight feel. The soft, comfortable stretch fabric and rich shades like bottle green and khaki make it a repeat-buy favorite, with most finding the relaxed, slightly oversized fit true to size (some size up for extra slouch). Note the pictured version is a fitted black fine-knit style with ribbed cuffs and hem and a matte finish, so the fit you see on the model is closer to the body than the relaxed silhouette some reviewers describe.[2,3,4,5] | Scalloped Johnny Collar Openwork Sweater: Choose this for a relaxed, boxy fit complemented by an openwork knit pattern and an open, scalloped, and pointed Johnny collar. This exclusive design features elbow-length scalloped sleeves and is constructed from a blend of sixty percent reprocessed cotton and forty percent acrylic. A dense ribbed hem provides a tighter finish compared to the openwork body.[6,7,8] |

Belle couleur et facile à porter.
Super
Vraiment bien
A little itchy
First try-on, before washing, the fabric was itchy on my neck and wrists. We'll see how it is after laundering.
Ça dépend des morphologie
Pas pour moi
Really nice cut and shape
A bit itchy but tolerable. It’s light enough you can wear a long sleeve tshirt underneath if you want to. Very cosy and looks great, compliments from first day of wearing. An x small might have fit fine but I like the looser fit and the big sleeves. I bought the taupe first LOVE the colour and cut so decided to get this in grey as well. Also a great neutral colour.

Je l'adore tout simplement, parfait pour l'automne. J'ai aussi acheté le noir en taille moyen et je pense acheter la couleur bleue pâle.
Doux et stylisé
Je l’adore!
Beautiful wool mix, soft and very comfortable.
A lovely drop-shouldered, oversized sweater! The fit is oversized (purchased a L) and hangs beautifully. I usually always wear a XL, but the sizing is very accurate and comfortable for me. Loved the blue colour so much that I ordered this in the wheat!
coupe poncho magnifique
très belle coupe, tombe bien, ample, stylé
J’adore…
…le look, la couleur, sa chaleur. Son seul défaut il est un peu piquant directement sur la peau. Porté avec t-shirt léger dessous il est parfait.
Coupe originale
Chandail idéal pour les week-ends relax. Les manches type chauve souris sont sympas mais il faut porter ce chant sous un manteau oversize pour un meilleur confort. Trop court pour moi.
Spécial
Le printemps dernier j’ai acheté le même dans la taille large et cet automne pour avoir la même grandeur (coupe ) j’ai été obligé de prendre Small . J’ai donc retourné 2 fois pour avoir le Small comparable au large du printemps dernier .
