Round Neck Dropped Shoulder Sweater | Red / S 100100076819142

How to Measure

For the most accurate results, lay the sweater flat on a table, smooth out wrinkles without stretching the knit, and measure with a flexible tape. Record measurements in inches or centimeters.

• Chest/Bust width: Measure straight across the front from 2.5 cm/1 in below the armhole seam to the same point on the other side. Double this number for the full circumference.
• Shoulder width (dropped shoulder): Flip to the back and measure straight across from the end of one shoulder seam (where the drop seam meets the sleeve) to the other. This reads wider than a set‑in shoulder by design.
• Sleeve length:
  • Method A (from drop seam): Measure from the top of the shoulder drop seam down to the end of the cuff.
  • Method B (CB neck): Measure from the center‑back neck straight across the shoulder and down to the cuff. Use the same method consistently when comparing sizes.
• Body length: Measure from the high point shoulder (where the shoulder seam meets the neckline) straight down to the hem.
• Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem. Double for the circumference.
• Cuff opening (optional): Measure straight across the cuff and double for the circumference.

Note: Knits can vary by ±1–2 cm (±0.5–0.75 in) due to stretch and finishing.

Materials & Fabric Info

The Round Neck Dropped Shoulder Sweater is commonly made from one or a blend of these fibers. Check the product label or composition details on this page for the exact mix.

• Cotton: Soft, breathable, easy care. Great for transitional weather and those sensitive to wool.
• Wool (incl. Merino): Warm yet breathable, naturally odor‑resistant, good moisture management. Requires gentle care.
• Cashmere/Alpaca: Luxuriously soft and warm with a lighter feel; more delicate and prone to pilling without gentle handling.
• Acrylic: Lightweight, colorfast, and easy care; can feel softer and dries quickly; may pill over time.
• Nylon/Polyester (in blends): Adds strength, durability, and shape retention to natural fibers.
• Elastane/Spandex (small %): Improves stretch and recovery at rib trims (neck, cuffs, hem).

Gauge guide: Fine (10–14 gg) = smoother, lighter drape; Mid (7–10 gg) = classic sweater weight; Chunky (3–6 gg) = plush, heavier feel.

Model & Fit Notes

• Designed for a relaxed silhouette with dropped shoulders for an easy, slightly slouchy look.
• Length typically sits at the hip; sleeves are full‑length with a comfortable upper‑arm fit due to the dropped seam.
• Choose your usual size for a relaxed fit; size down for a neater profile or up for a more oversized look.
• Works well over tees, tanks, or lightweight shirts without feeling tight at the armhole.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Read the label first: Follow the specific care instructions for the exact fiber blend.
• Washing: Hand wash in cold water with a gentle, wool‑safe detergent. If machine washing is permitted by the label, use a delicate cycle, cold water, and a mesh laundry bag. Turn the sweater inside out.
• Do not wring: After rinsing, gently press out water. Roll in a towel to remove excess moisture.
• Drying: Reshape and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid tumble drying and do not hang when wet (this prevents stretching).
• De‑pilling: Use a sweater comb or fabric shaver to gently remove pills that form from natural friction.
• Iron/Steam: Steam to release wrinkles or iron on low with a pressing cloth. Avoid high heat.
• Storage: Store folded (not on a hanger) to maintain shape. For long‑term storage, keep clean and use cedar or lavender to deter moths.
• Avoid abrasion: Minimize friction from rough bags or jewelry to reduce pilling and snagging.

Style Tips

• Everyday casual: Pair with straight or wide‑leg jeans and sneakers; half‑tuck the front to define the waist.
• Office ready: Layer over a crisp shirt with the collar peeking out, add tailored trousers and loafers.
• Weekend cozy: Wear with leggings or a knit midi skirt and ankle boots for an easy, put‑together look.
• Layering play: Slip over a turtleneck for extra warmth, or over a slip dress for contrast in texture and shape.
• Balance proportions: With a relaxed, dropped shoulder top, choose slimmer bottoms for a clean line; go oversized on top with structured bottoms for modern contrast.
• Accessories: Add a long pendant or scarf to complement the round neckline; finish with a crossbody bag to keep the silhouette clean.
