The layer you grab without thinking, which is usually the sign of a very good one.
The Look
A zip front replaces fiddly buttons, the ribbed hem gives the shape a neat finish, and the knit blend keeps everything looking soft rather than sporty. Four colors are available in gray, blue, red and a warm apricot that flatters most complexions. It sits somewhere between a sweater and a light jacket, which is precisely its usefulness.
The Fit
Loose through the body and shoulder so nothing pulls when you move, with sleeves that reach the wrist and a hem that ribs in gently at the hip. Sizes run small through 2XL. Zipped to the top it feels snug around the neck; open, it falls into a soft vertical line.
The Feel
Cozy and warm without heaviness, with a gentle surface that is comfortable straight against the skin. The zip glides rather than catches, and the ribbing keeps its stretch instead of going slack after a few wears.
The Styling
Over a tee and jeans for a cool morning. Over a knit dress and boots when you want warmth without a coat. Under a longer overcoat it adds a layer that does not bunch at the shoulder.
Pick your shade and stay warm without fuss.
