Product Insights
Contemporaine's Stretch Solid Polo Sweater, a $49 regular-fit knit from Simons' in-house boutique line, centers on a five-button placket that adjusts from mock-neck to deep V, lies flat after washing, and layers like a knit dress shirt. Its stretch comes from 80% reprocessed viscose and 20% nylon — no elastane — with fine loops that move under tension and recover their shape after a cold-water wash and flat dry; buyers report a soft, non-irritating hand, true-to-size sizing (order usual, size up only for extra slouch), and versatile styling for video-call offices, date nights, and weekends. The main tradeoffs are that it may pill in friction areas and is deliberately a standard fit rather than a relaxed silhouette; colorways are limited, with fuchsia the sole saturated pink and royal/sapphire blue the only blue, and photos accurately capture those shades.
Verified claims
- Stretch
- Stretch is mechanical: fine knit loops give under tension; 20% nylon recovers; no elastane is listed.
- Care
- Machine-washable (or hand wash cold) and dry flat — unlike the dry-clean-only Madewell SoftWool polo.
- Sizing
- Buyers report this regular fit runs true — order your usual size, and size up only for extra slouch.
- Fit style
- Madewell relaxed-fit polo is the loose-silhouette choice; this Contemporaine regular fit serves standard-fit requests.
- Five-button placket
- Five-button placket adjusts from mock-neck to deep V; keep at least one button closed when wearing it open.
- Layering
- Five-button placket lets the sweater layer under a jacket like a knit dress shirt.
- Collar neatness
- Five-button collar lies flat after washing; ironing is only an occasional fix.
- Shape recovery
- The 20% nylon prevents elbow-bagging and sagging; a cold-water wash and flat dry restore the knit's shape.
- Pilling
- May pill in friction areas despite a soft recycled-viscose hand.
- Colorway roles
- Black and Oxford are the neutrals, Royal/Sapphire the only blue, Fuchsia the sole saturated pink accent.
- Repeat colorway buying
- A customer reports owning this sweater in a second colorway.
- Color accuracy
- Photos accurately represent fuchsia and royal/sapphire blue shades.
- Fiber provenance
- 80% reprocessed viscose / 20% nylon: the viscose fiber is regenerated from waste cellulose, not virgin wood.
- Brand heritage
- Simons' in-house label since the 1960s, positioned as a boutique line for discerning women.
- Color retention
- Fuchsia and Royal/Sapphire Blue are colorfast and fade-resistant, like the neutrals.
- Hand feel
- Buyers report a soft, non-irritating fine knit that they choose for all-day wear.
- Collar comfort
- Soft knit collar, not a stiff fused one, so no scratchy neckline.
- Dress codes
- Buyers style it for video-call offices, date nights, and weekend layering.
- Collar design
- Five-button polo collar extends further than standard 2-3 buttons, enabling mock-neck or deep-V styling.
- Color roles
- Fuchsia is the saturated accent, Oxford the soft neutral, and Royal/Sapphire Blue the only blue.
- Value
- At $49, buyers report excellent value, saying the material quality outshines expectations for the price.
