Distressed Long Sleeve Cropped Sweater | Heather Gray / S 100101681875118

How to Measure

Measure the sweater flat and compare to a similar garment you own or to your body measurements.

Garment (flat-lay) measurements

• Bust/Chest: Lay the sweater flat; measure straight across 2.5 cm (1 in) below the armhole. Double this number for circumference.
• Shoulder Width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. For drop-shoulder designs, measure from where the shoulder seam would naturally sit.
• Sleeve Length: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff along the top of the sleeve. For drop-shoulder, measure from the highest point where the sleeve meets the body.
• Body Length: From the high point of shoulder (next to the neckline) straight down to the lowest point of the hem. Distressing can make lengths vary slightly.
• Hem Width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and double for circumference.

On-body measurements

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part while wearing a light layer.
• Shoulder to Hem: From the top of your shoulder to where you want the cropped hem to sit (typically at or just above the natural waist).
• Arm Length: From the outer shoulder point to your wrist bone.

Fit note: This sweater is intentionally cropped. If you’re between sizes or prefer extra length, consider sizing up.

Materials & Fabric Feel

Exact fiber content may vary by color or batch. Please refer to the product composition listed on this page or the garment care label when available. Distressed knits like this are commonly crafted from blends that may include:

• Cotton: breathable softness and a natural hand-feel.
• Acrylic: lightweight warmth and shape retention.
• Polyester (often recycled): durability and colorfastness.
• Wool or wool-blend: added warmth and texture; may include nylon/elastane for resilience.

• Typical hand-feel: Soft, cozy knit with moderate stretch for comfort.
• Design details: Ribbed neckline, cuffs, and hem with intentionally raw/distressed edges. Minor variations and fraying are normal and part of the look.

Model Information

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Prep: Turn inside out and place in a mesh laundry bag to protect distressed areas from snagging.
• Wash: Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Hand-wash in cool water if preferred.
• Rinse/Handle: Do not wring. Press water out gently.
• Dry: Reshape and lay flat on a towel. Avoid the dryer to prevent shrinking or stretching. Keep out of direct sunlight.
• De-pill: Use a sweater comb or fabric shaver lightly on high-friction areas. Carefully trim (don’t pull) any long threads from distressing.
• Refresh: Steam to remove wrinkles; if ironing, use low heat and a pressing cloth.
• Store: Fold, don’t hang, to maintain shape. Store with cedar or lavender to deter moths.

Style Tips

• Casual cool: Pair with high-rise jeans and sneakers; layer a fitted tank or bodysuit underneath for coverage.
• Edgy vibe: Add leather trousers or denim cutoffs, a moto jacket, and combat boots.
• Soft contrast: Balance the distressing with a satin slip skirt and ankle boots.
• Layer play: Pop over a crisp button-down or a mesh long sleeve for dimension.
• Proportions: Team with wide-leg pants or cargo trousers to offset the cropped length.
• Accessories: Layer delicate chains or a chunky choker; finish with a crossbody for an effortless finish.
