Ribbed Color Block Long Sleeve Sweater | Pink / S 100100795850740

How to Measure This Sweater

Lay the sweater flat on a table. Smooth it gently without stretching the ribbing. Measure with a soft tape; note that rib knits have natural give. For circumference, double all horizontal measurements.

• Chest Width (pit-to-pit): Measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other. Tip: For a close fit, aim for body bust + 0–2 in (0–5 cm). For regular, +2–4 in (5–10 cm). For oversized, +4–8 in (10–20 cm).
• Shoulder Width: Measure from the top of one shoulder seam straight across to the other. Note: If there’s a dropped shoulder, measure seam-to-seam where it sits.
• Sleeve Length: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For dropped shoulders, measure from the top of the armhole seam to the cuff.
• Back Length: From the highest point of the shoulder (near the neck) straight down to the hem.
• Hem Width: Measure straight across the bottom hem. Double for circumference.
• Cuff Opening (optional): Measure across the cuff edge.

Measuring tip: Ribbed knits relax with wear. Expect up to 2–5 cm (about 1–2 in) of comfortable stretch across the chest and sleeves. Garment measurements may vary by ±1–2 cm due to knit characteristics.

Materials & Fabric Notes

The exact fiber content can vary by production run. Please refer to the product tag or care label for the definitive composition. Common, quality blends for ribbed color-block sweaters include:

• Cotton: Breathable, soft, easy-care, great for sensitive skin; minimal static.
• Acrylic: Lightweight warmth, vibrant color retention; may pill with friction—use a fabric shaver as needed.
• Wool (e.g., Merino): Warm yet breathable, naturally odor-resistant; handle gently and lay flat to dry.
• Polyamide/Nylon or Polyester: Adds strength, shape retention, and helps reduce bagging at elbows and cuffs.
• Elastane/Spandex (small %): Improves stretch recovery in ribbed structures.

Hand-feel: Ribbed knits are elastic by design and contour lightly to the body. Color-blocking is typically achieved through fully-fashioned knitting or jacquard techniques for crisp transitions between colors.

Model & Fit Notes

• Intended Fit: A comfortable, ribbed knit that skims the body with natural stretch; full-length sleeves and hip-length body for easy layering.
• On-Model Look: The on-body images (if shown) illustrate a clean shoulder line and an easy, everyday silhouette that layers under blazers and coats without bulk.
• Sizing Guidance: Choose your usual size for a neat, close-to-body fit. Size up one for a relaxed, slightly slouchy look.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Follow the care label first. The instructions below are general best practices for ribbed knits.
• Before Washing: Turn inside out to protect the rib texture and color blocks. Wash brighter/darker colors separately the first time.
• Wash Routine: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Use a wool/silk detergent for wool content. Avoid bleach and harsh softeners.
• Drying: Do not wring. Press out water gently, roll in a clean towel to remove excess, reshape, and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid hanging to prevent stretching.
• De-pilling: Light pilling can occur with wear, especially with blends containing wool or acrylic. Remove gently with a sweater comb or fabric shaver—do not pull pills by hand.
• Snag Care: If snagged, do not cut the thread. Use a knit repair tool or a blunt needle to draw the loop back through to the inside.
• Iron/Steam: Steam lightly on the reverse to release creases. If ironing, use low heat and a pressing cloth to avoid flattening the rib texture.
• Storage: Fold rather than hang. Store clean, in a cool, dry place. For wool-rich blends, consider cedar or lavender sachets.
• Spot Treatment: Blot (don’t rub). For oil-based marks, pre-treat with a tiny amount of gentle dish soap before washing. Rinse thoroughly.

Style Tips

• Weekend Casual: Pair with high-rise denim and clean sneakers. Echo one of the color blocks with your bag or hat for a pulled-together look.
• Smart-Casual: Half-tuck into tailored trousers with loafers or ankle boots. Add a structured blazer to sharpen the ribbed texture.
• Skirt Combo: Contrast the knit with a satin or leather midi. A French tuck balances volume and defines the waist.
• Layering Move: Pop a crisp collared shirt underneath and let the collar and cuffs peek out. Finish with a trench or longline coat.
• Color Play: Keep the rest of your outfit neutral, or pick one block hue to repeat in a scarf, belt, or lipstick for cohesion.
• Proportion Balance: If styling an oversized fit, choose slimmer bottoms. With a closer fit, try wide-leg pants for a modern silhouette.
• Footwear: Sneakers for off-duty, Chelsea boots for elevated everyday, or block heels for dressier moments.
