One of its 2,200 reviewers can attest to that: “This was a great purchase! It's the right amount of slouchy and doesn't cling. It feels true to size, but if you want it super slouchy, go up a size.

“I knew as soon as I pulled this on that it would be a forever favorite,” says one five-star reviewer. “It’s thick, cozy, slightly oversized but so chic. The sleeves are perfect, the fold-over collar is proportioned perfectly, and it lays beautifully. The knit is substantial, and the color is timeless.”
