Product Insights
The Contrasting Rolled Trim Striped Sweater is a modern classic for career women, offering office-to-weekend versatility with a boat neck and rolled hem that visually lengthen the silhouette and enable half-tucks and blazer layering. Made from 100% hypoallergenic, machine-washable cotton knit, it undercuts similar Quince styles by ~$15 and is an exclusive Italian import at Simons, contrasting typical Chinese sourcing. The main tradeoff is sizing: true to size yields a loose fit, while sizing down achieves a closer fit that highlights the boat neck and eliminates the need for a cami.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- True to size for loose fit; size down for fitted look.
- Versatility
- Layers cleanly under blazers and structured coats, and the soft rolled hem makes it easy to half-tuck into high-waist jeans or trousers.
- Neckline
- Frames collarbone and broadens shoulders while contrasting rolled trim creates a refined, off-duty silhouette.
- Fit
- Runs true to size for its intended loose, relaxed fit with dropped shoulders; size down for a closer fit, and the 100% cotton knit is naturally hypoallergenic enough to wear without a camisole.
- Material

- Positioning
- Modern classics for career women with office-to-weekend versatility.
- Design
- Continuous rolled trim and boat neck visually lengthen the silhouette and enable half-tucks and blazer layering.
- Care
- Machine wash inside out to prevent pilling, use a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric, and fold rather than hang to maintain the trim and silhouette.
- Fabric weight
- Buyers describe the sweater as lightweight and loose-weave, and several find it comfortable for year-round or air-conditioned settings.
- Trim color
- A buyer notes the contrasting trim at the edges reads more coral than red.

- Softness
- The 100% cotton knit is naturally soft, breathable, and gentle against bare skin, so it is comfortable for all-day wear; reviewers describe it as very comfortable.

A breathable knit for warm days and cool evenings
This lightweight, open-weave sweater works as a breathable layer for warm weather, air-conditioned spaces, and summer-to-fall evenings when there's a cool breeze. Reviewers note the loose knit doesn't retain much heat, so it's best suited to mild temperatures or as a layering piece rather than a standalone cold-weather sweater.[2]
A packable travel wrap and cover-up
Based on customer reviews, this lightweight striped sweater packs easily for travel and works as a shoulder wrap on planes or in cold offices. Reviewers also mention using it as a cover-up during flights or unpredictable weather.[2]
Easy casual outfits with a polished touch
This relaxed, oversized striped sweater works for everyday casual styling — reviewers say it pairs effortlessly with jeans and adds polish to a simple jeans-and-tee look, with the loose silhouette and rolled trim earning compliments. The cotton knit is described as very comfortable for all-day wear.[1,2]

|---|---|---|
| Contrasting Rolled Trim Striped Sweater Exclusive Collection From Italy: Choose this if you want a lightweight 100% cotton knit for mild weather, travel, or layering — its open weave is breathable for cool evenings and air-conditioned spaces rather than cold-weather warmth. The relaxed, slightly boxy silhouette has horizontal navy stripes on cream with red rolled trim at the boat neckline, cuffs, and hem, and reviewers say it packs easily and pairs well with jeans. Note that it runs large and a little short — most customers size down, especially for a less boxy fit, and taller frames may find the length insufficient.[1,2,3,4] | Funnel Collar Striped Sweater Exclusive Collection From Italy: Choose this if you want a relaxed, boxy striped knit with a short ribbed funnel neck, dropped shoulders, and voluminous balloon sleeves that taper into fitted ribbed cuffs. It is an ultra-soft, stretchy knit (52% viscose, 26% polyester, 22% nylon) imported from Italy exclusively for Contemporaine, with even horizontal black and off-white stripes and a straight ribbed hem. Note it is offered only in one size, so it works best for shoppers comfortable with that sizing approach.[5,6] | Soft Two-Tone Stripe Sweater: Choose this if you want an ultra-soft, non-itchy knit in a two-tone horizontal stripe, made from 50% responsibly-harvested LENZING ECOVERO viscose with polyester and nylon, for layering in spring or wearing standalone on cool fall days. Its regular-fit crewneck with ribbed trims reportedly dresses up with tailored pants or down with jeans, and reviewers describe the fabric as comfortable for all-day wear without irritation. Note that the sizing skews short and slim—shoppers over 5 feet 5 inches or tall-torsoed may need to size up to avoid a cropped fit—so petite frames tend to find the best fit off the rack.[7,8,9] |

Tricot ample. Super avec des jeans. J’ai reçu beaucoup de beaux commentaires.
Lightweight and so cute!
This is a great cover for summer and into fall. Lightweight, loose weave. The red on the edges is more coral than red. A little short.
Light weight summer sweater
Took this on trip and it came in really handy - nice to put over shoulders in air conditioning!
Lightweight summer sweater
I like the weight and loose fit of this sweater. I ordered a M and returned for a S as it fits big.
