Product Insights
The Contemporaine Soft Two-Tone Stripe Sweater ($39.95) marries sustainable materials with proven durability, using 50% LENZING ECOVERO viscose — the first viscose with EU Ecolabel, OEKO-TEX, and biodegradable certifications — while competitors at the same price often rely on acrylic-heavy blends. Backed by Simons, Canada's oldest family-owned department store since 1840, this exclusive label offers fluid viscose drape that skims the body and layers easily, plus a polyester-nylon blend for wrinkle resistance, quick drying, and shape retention from ribbed edging. The key tradeoff: order one size up for a relaxed drape or stick to your usual size for a close fit.

So soft
This sweater is really nice. It is super soft and cozy. I only too a star off as in the pic it looks more taupe and in person it is more of a lighter grey. Also in the pic it looks like it would be oversized but I did not find it is. Well priced and worth it!

Lovely sweater
The sweater is nice and made of quality material. It looks great on and the perfect size (L). It makes a great spring sweater nice neutral colours so it goes with everything. Can be casual but stylish.
Soft and classic, maybe size up
Lovely classic striped sweater. The get colour has a little taupey richness to it -- gorgeous. Fit is a little small, I usually wear a medium and this sweater just fits with a cami underneath. Size up if you want to fit a collared shirt underneath.

Magnifique est super doux! Il est vraiment beau. Je croyais, par contre, qu’il serait plus grège mais bon. Aussi, j’aurais du commander une grandeur de plus car sans être trop petit, si j’avais pris une grandeur de plus, j’aurais eu le look que je voulais

Sweatshirt
It’s is comfy and soft I bought extra small and I love the fit I didn’t want it oversized. . I’m 5 ft 1 and 110lbs
Soft, pretty sweater
This sweater is very soft on and the colors are lovely. I wouldn't have thought crimson goes with light blue but it proves to be a very striking contrast. I took one star off as I think it could be an inch or two longer.
Tissu de grande qualité
Je croyais que la couleur était plus vert la couleur café au lait, mais c'est vraiment gris. La photo porte à confusion sur la couleur. Malgré qu'il était écrit gris, cela donne un ton gris brun café au lait
Lovely casual sweater
Perfect sweater for every day!

Nice sweater
I really liked the sweater, but I exchanged it for the gray stripe. I found the colours to be rather drab. The light stripe is beigey and the yellow is mustardy. However, I really like the weight of the sweater. It’s nice to find a sweater that has some weight and not thin and see-through. Also, I normally take mediums in sweaters, but in this I had to go up to a large and it is not at all oversized on me. It fits just right.
parfait

Nice Sweater
I was looking for a lightweight sweater that I could layer when travelling. This sweater is a bit too heavy to be a packable garment. Also it fit a bit too baggy in the back for me. I liked that the shoulders of the sleeves fit on the shoulders, not halfway down the arms, like many of the boxier fit sweaters. Overall a nice sweater.

Bit too short of a fit, needed to be 2 inches longer
I am 5'4" and 126 lbs. Bought a medium bc i wanted it a bit loose but it was too short. I would like to see a cotton/polyester blend so it washes well.
Wow
Super contente il est parfait
