Cropped Boxy Crew in Luxe Merino | Heathered Winetasting

Perfect Sweater

This was my first purchase from Everlane and I was a little nervous ordering online because I am between sizes. But I'm so glad I did end up purchasing because I am in love with this sweater. It's so soft and comfortable to wear. I've already worn it twice this week. If you are between sizes I would recommend sizing up.

Cropped Look Depends on Your Torso Length

I'm 5'4", 115 lbs, neutral skin tone, and this maroon shade fits me perfectly. The fit around the shoulders and arm length are also perfect. I would prefer the sweater to fall just 2-3" shorter for a true "cropped" look, but i still think it's cute. The trouble with cropped sweaters is that you can't easily modify it, unlike other materials. So you really need to buy the right one based on your torso length. I consider my torso length to be "normal", so for those with shorter torsos, this sweater might not look cropped.

I like it, except for the sleeves

More utilitarian than beautiful, which is fine with me. But I didn't realize when I bought it how annoying it would be to have sleeves as wide and loose as these. They just hang, and one couldn't do anything with them. Forget about being able to push them up and out of the way, because you just can't. So, for someone who would need to pull them up to do work, these sleeves will not work for you.
