Product Insights
Twik's Wide-Stripe Sweater delivers a silky, lightweight feel through 80% reprocessed viscose from textile waste and nylon, achieving a softness that surpasses similarly priced sweaters, while its knitted stripes and straight fit ensure longevity and layering ease; however, the recycled viscose increases pilling risk, partly mitigated by the nylon blend and required hand washing, offering sustainable value at $39.
Verified claims
- Hand feel
- Soft, smooth hand feel like silk; lightweight and breathable.
- Material
- 80% reprocessed viscose and 20% nylon feels silkier than similar-priced sweaters.
- Fit
- Lightweight and breathable with a straight fit, dropped shoulder seams, ribbed crew neckline, cuffs, and hem, and a relaxed silhouette that layers smoothly under jackets.
- Care instructions
- Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry; avoid wringing, hanging, and machine washing, all of which can stretch or damage the fine viscose-nylon knit.
- Pilling
- Pilling is more likely because recycled viscose fibers are shorter and more fragile, but the 20% nylon blend helps reduce it; hand washing cold inside out and laying flat to dry slow pilling but won't eliminate it.
- Stripe construction
- Stripes are knitted in using alternating yarns, not printed on the surface.
- Stripe longevity
- The nylon blend reduces pilling and strengthens fibers; hand washing and laying flat to dry help preserve the knit's shape.
- Value
- At $39, this sweater's 80% viscose content is nearly double the 48% in a $44 competitor.
- Design origin
- Twik is a Simons-exclusive brand designed in Canada.
- Brand sustainability commitment
- Twik uses recycled inputs across its knitwear, including this sweater.
- Recycled viscose source
- The 80% reprocessed viscose is made from pre- or post-consumer textile waste, so the recycled content gives discarded fibers a second life rather than providing an organic or biodegradable certification; the sweater qualifies for Simons' Vision program because it comes from a circular production process or contains at least 50% reduced-impact materials.
- Fit true to size
- The straight fit is described by the brand as true to size, but several buyers and reviews say it runs large compared with Twik's usual sizing; the cut has dropped shoulder seams and a relaxed silhouette, so sizing down may avoid a boxy fit.
- Resource footprint
- Because the reprocessed viscose is made from textile waste, the sweater bypasses the cultivation of new cotton or wood, avoiding the large water, land, and energy demands those feedstocks require.
- Detergent and softener care
- Skip fabric softener and enzyme-based brightening detergents when washing this viscose-nylon sweater: fabric softener made viscose pill 2.7× faster in abrasion testing, and cellulase detergents produced 3.2× more pilling after 10 washes.

Everyday lounging and casual wear
Per an analysis of customer reviews, this Twik sweater's soft, comfortable knit and good length make it a fuss-free pick for daily wear and lounging, and it's easy to care for. The same analysis notes the style runs large compared to Twik's usual sizing, so buyers likely need to size down to avoid a boxy fit, and some units pill out of the package, which reviewers saw as a possible longevity concern.[1]
Making a retro statement with bold stripes
Per an analysis of customer reviews, this Twik sweater's oversized stripes in eye-catching combos like yellow, pink, and navy are used to add a retro, attention-getting touch to outfits, pairing well with solid bottoms. Reviewers report the bold vintage stripes drawing compliments. Some note colors can look different in person, with burgundy sometimes appearing brown.[1]
Layering piece rather than a standalone cold-weather sweater
Per a customer review analysis, this Twik wide-stripe sweater has a knit that is thinner than expected and provides less warmth on its own, so it may work better as part of a layered outfit than worn alone in cold weather.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Wide-Stripe Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft, comfortable fine-knit pullover with oversized retro stripes in eye-catching combinations like yellow/pink/navy — reviewers describe it as an easy-care, fuss-free piece for everyday wear and layering. Note that the knit is surprisingly thin and provides less warmth than expected on its own, the style runs large so sizing down may avoid a boxy fit, and colors often differ from website photos (burgundy can appear brown), so it is not suited to exact color matching.[1] | Wide Stripe Polo-Collar Sweater: Choose this if you want a relaxed polo-collar knit for cooler weather, with wide horizontal stripes, a three-button placket, ribbed cuffs and hem, and 100% reprocessed cotton fabric. Per reviews, it fits true to size with a flattering, non-boxy cut and reasonable length, and the thick fabric feels substantial and warm without heaviness—though durability is only a reported impression, and product photos show a relaxed, slightly boxy silhouette. It comes in sizes X-Small to X-Large across five colorways, and reviewers report the colors match the online pictures.[2,3,4,5] | Mixed Stripes Cotton Sweater: Choose this if you want a lightweight fine-knit cotton sweater for mild-weather casual wear or layering — reviewers describe it as breathable and comfortable for all-day wear, with a relaxed, boxy cut, dropped shoulders, long sleeves, and continuous horizontal mixed stripes in warm tones. One reviewer found it runs oversized with longer-than-expected sleeves, so consider sizing down if you prefer a more fitted look, though this was a single report.[6,7,8] |

Love the wide stripes!
Very nice top. Good quality and fits beautifully on my petite size. Paired with a black pleated skirt skirt or pant or jeans. I had ordered an XL based on Twik sizing but in this style it was way to0 big so exchanged for medium which is slightly fitted on me.
So comfortable
Throwback to an 90s sweater I had back in the day. So soft and comfortable. Great fit
Fits well for me

confortable et doux
J'ai pris un XL car je doute des fois que je peux porter la marque Twik. A ma grande surprise, il faisait parfait, rien à dire
Chandail
Ce n est pas la couleur annoncée
Chandail larges rayures
Ça me rappelle un chandail que j’ai adoré lorsque j’étais jeune adulte. La couleur se marie avec toutes les couleurs. Je l’adore.
Chandail à rayures léger
Très beau chandail et les couleurs j'adore jaune/rose/bleu marin. Et c'est rare de voir de grosses rayures et c'est vraiment joli. Il est confortable.
Joli mais pas la couleur que j’espérais
Belle matière, étonnamment fine (surtout pour le prix), mais les teintes diffèrent de la photo; je croyais commander un chandail à rayures bleu et bourgogne, mais le lie-de-vin est en fait un brun roux
Très confortable
Qualité, confort, entretien facile

This sweater looks great on me!
Bouloche
Le chandail formait des peluches et n’était même pas porté.
