Contrast Drop Shoulder Sweater | Camel / S 100100720239832

Contrast Drop Shoulder Sweater

A relaxed, easygoing knit with a dropped shoulder seam for a modern, slouchy silhouette and soft drape through the body.

How to Measure (Lay-Flat Method)

Use a soft tape measure. Lay the sweater flat without stretching. For body comparisons, measure a similar garment you love and match the numbers.

1. Chest/Bust Width: Measure straight across from one underarm point to the other (pit-to-pit). Double this number for circumference.
2. Front Length: From the highest point of the shoulder (where the neck meets the shoulder) down to the front hem.
3. Hem Width: Measure straight across the bottom hem. Double for circumference.
4. Sleeve Length (Drop Shoulder): Measure from the center back (base of neck) across the shoulder and down to the end of the cuff in one continuous line (CB-to-cuff). This is most accurate on drop-shoulder styles.
5. Shoulder Drop: Measure vertically from your natural shoulder point to the top of the sleeve seam. A larger number indicates a more relaxed, slouchy fit.
6. Upper Arm Width: Measure 2.5–3 in (6–7.5 cm) below the sleeve seam straight across the sleeve. Double for circumference.

Fit tip: A relaxed drop-shoulder sweater typically has 2–6 in (5–15 cm) of ease at the chest. For a closer fit, target ~2–3 in (5–8 cm) ease; for an oversized look, add more.

Note: Hand-measured items may vary by ±0.5 in (±1–2 cm). 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials

Exact fiber content can vary by colorway or production run. Please check the product’s Fabric/Materials detail on this page or the care label inside the garment for the most accurate composition.

• Common knit blends for contrast sweaters:
  • 100% Cotton: breathable, easy-care, holds structure; moderate warmth.
  • Cotton/Acrylic: soft handfeel, lighter weight, good color retention.
  • Wool/Nylon: warm, resilient; nylon adds strength and helps reduce pilling.
  • Recycled Polyester Blends: durable, colorfast; often used in contrast panels.
  • Elastane/Spandex (small % in ribs): adds gentle stretch and recovery at cuffs, collar, hem.
• What the fibers do:
  • Cotton: breathable, natural feel; may relax slightly with wear.
  • Wool (incl. Merino): warm, naturally odor-resistant; handle gently when washing.
  • Acrylic: soft, lightweight, helps maintain loft and color; can pill over time.
  • Nylon/Polyamide: improves durability and shape retention.

Model & Fit Notes

Model-specific details are not provided here. The Contrast Drop Shoulder Sweater is designed for a relaxed fit with a lowered shoulder seam and a casual drape.

• If between sizes, size down for a neater look or up for an intentionally oversized silhouette.
• Compare our garment measurements to a sweater you already love to confirm your best size.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Washing:
  • Turn inside out and wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash in cool water.
  • Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
  • For wool/cashmere content, use a wool-safe detergent. When in doubt, hand wash.
• Drying:
  • Do not tumble dry. Press water out gently—do not wring.
  • Reshape and lay flat on a clean towel to dry away from direct heat or sun.
  • Avoid hanging when wet or dry; fold to prevent stretching at the shoulders.
• De-Pilling & Snag Care:
  • Use a sweater comb or fabric shaver lightly to remove surface pills.
  • If a snag occurs, pull the loop gently to the inside with a crochet hook—do not cut it.
• Iron/Steam:
  • Steam lightly from the inside or use a cool iron with a pressing cloth.
  • Avoid pressing rib trims aggressively to keep their recovery.
• Color Care (Contrast Panels):
  • Wash with similar colors. For the first wash, launder separately.
  • Color-catcher sheets can help minimize dye transfer.
• Storage:
  • Fold and store in a drawer or on a shelf; avoid hanging.
  • For wool content, store clean with cedar or lavender to deter moths.

Style Tips

• Polished casual: Half-tuck into high-rise jeans or tailored trousers; add loafers or sleek sneakers.
• Layer play: Let a crisp shirt collar peek out; roll the cuffs to show contrast.
• Skirt set-up: Pair with a midi slip or pleated skirt and ankle boots for balanced volume.
• Proportions: Offset the relaxed shoulder with slim bottoms, or go full-volume with wide-leg pants and streamlined shoes.
• Color story: Echo one of the contrast tones in your accessories (belt, bag, beanie) for a pulled-together look.
• Work-to-weekend: Add a structured blazer over the sweater; swap sneakers for block heels.
