Striped Round Neck Dropped Shoulder Sweater | Tan / L 100100063134625

How to Measure

For the most accurate results, lay a similar sweater flat on a table, smooth out wrinkles without stretching, and measure in centimeters or inches. Compare your results with the size chart. Knits can vary slightly; allow a tolerance of 1–3 cm (up to 1 in).

1. Chest/Bust: Measure straight across the front, about 2.5 cm (1 in) below the underarm seam. Double this number for the full circumference.
2. Body Length: From the highest point of the shoulder (where the shoulder meets the neckline) straight down to the hem. If the size chart provides back length, measure from the back neckline seam to hem.
3. Sleeve Length (dropped shoulder):
   • Method A: From the shoulder seam (which sits lower on a dropped shoulder) to the end of the cuff.
   • Method B (often used for dropped shoulders): From the side neck point (where the neck meets the shoulder) over the shoulder and down to the cuff.

   Use the same method as the size chart for accurate comparison.

4. Across Shoulder (for reference on dropped shoulders): Measure straight across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. Note this seam is lower than a natural shoulder point on this style.
5. Hem/Sweep: Measure straight across the bottom hem and double for circumference.
6. Cuff Opening: Measure straight across the cuff and double for circumference.

Tip: Compare these measurements to a sweater you love for fit. For a relaxed look, aim for 10–20 cm (4–8 in) of ease at the chest above your body measurement.

Materials & Fabric Information

Exact composition can vary by color or batch; please check the fabric composition on the product page or care label. Common yarns used for striped knit sweaters and what they mean for feel and care:

• Cotton: Breathable and natural; feels cool and structured. May relax with wear; reshape while drying. Wash cold, dry flat.
• Acrylic: Soft, lightweight, and colorfast; cozy warmth without heaviness. Can pill with friction; wash gentle, dry flat.
• Polyester/Nylon: Adds durability, shape retention, and wrinkle resistance. Easy care; wash gentle, dry flat.
• Wool (e.g., merino): Warm, resilient, and naturally odor-resistant. Hand wash cold or use a wool cycle; use wool-safe detergent; dry flat.
• Viscose/Modal: Smooth hand and nice drape. Can grow when wet; reshape and dry flat.
• Elastane/Spandex (small percentage): Adds stretch and recovery to rib cuffs and hems.

The handfeel and drape depend on the blend and knit gauge: cotton-leaning blends feel cooler and more structured; acrylic/wool-leaning blends feel plusher and warmer; nylon/polyester add resilience.

Model Information & Fit Notes

Model-specific measurements are not provided for this item. General fit guidance for a dropped shoulder sweater:

• Silhouette: Dropped shoulders create a relaxed, slightly oversized look through the upper body and sleeves.
• Choose your size:
  • Stay true to size for the intended relaxed fit.
  • Size down for a neater, closer fit.
  • Size up for extra slouch or easy layering over shirts and tees.
• Ease reference: For a slouchy look, target 10–20 cm (4–8 in) of chest ease above your body measurement.
• Length: Typically hip length; half-tuck at the front to adjust proportions with high-waisted bottoms.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Before washing: Always check the care label. Turn inside out to protect the knit and stripes. Wash with similar colors.
• Washing:
  • Hand wash cold with a gentle detergent, or machine wash on a delicate/wool cycle in a mesh bag if the label allows.
  • Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Use wool-safe detergent for wool blends.
• Drying:
  • Do not wring. Gently press out water, roll in a towel to remove excess, then reshape and lay flat to dry away from heat or direct sun.
  • Do not tumble dry. Avoid hanging when wet to prevent stretching.
• De-wrinkling: Use a garment steamer on low or cool iron with a pressing cloth. Avoid pressing directly on the knit to prevent shine.
• Storage: Fold rather than hang to retain shape. For wool blends, store clean and dry with cedar or lavender to discourage moths.
• Pilling: Natural with wear. Remove gently using a sweater comb or fabric shaver; never pull pills by hand.
• Snags: Don’t cut pulled threads. Use a knit fixer/crochet hook to pull the loop back to the inside.
• Striped care tip: For the first few washes, launder with like colors; a color-catcher sheet can help minimize dye transfer.

Style Tips

• Everyday casual: Pair with straight or wide-leg denim and clean sneakers. Add a front half-tuck to define the waist.
• Smart casual: Team with tailored trousers or a pleated midi skirt and loafers or ankle boots for a polished look.
• Layering: Wear over a crisp collared shirt (let the collar and cuffs peek out) or layer a thin turtleneck underneath for extra warmth.
• Weekend: Style with leggings or knit joggers, chunky socks, and a cap or beanie.
• Outerwear: Complements a trench, denim jacket, or leather moto—keep the rest of the outfit solid to let the stripes stand out.
• Color play: Match your bag or shoes to one of the stripe colors for a cohesive pop, or ground bold stripes with neutral bottoms.
• Proportion tips: Balance the relaxed top with slimmer bottoms, or offset wide-leg trousers with a half-tuck or belt to define the waist.
