This is such a perfect sweater that I somehow accumulated it in black, gray, navy, salmon, and different shades of green…and still eye more when it goes on sale. The fabric is very comfortable directly on my skin. I wash in cold gentle cycle and hang dry. I iron to smooth it out, but I think if you ...dry completely flat it should be okay after shaking it out a bit. I have also accidentally put it in the dryer on medium heat and it survived, although I imagine it might create holes if I keep doing that with other clothes. At 5'5" and 135 pounds, I got a medium because I like a slightly looser fit. It's not baggy on me, but just enough not to be skin tight. Great sweater overall.
I love the cut, the shape, and the length of this lightweight sweater. At 5'9", a lot of sweaters aren't quite long enough in the arms and body, but this one is good. It's a great layer piece! From the perspective, it gets five stars. I've now worn it twice. It's held up nicely in the wash on a gent...le cycle with tide and splash of fabric softener (important for my next point) and a quick iron when dry, but has one key feature that has completely turned me off wearing it. It picks up and holds onto every unpleasant scent it comes into contact with (not body odor). The first time I thought maybe it was just due to being new, so I washed it after the first wearing. The second time I thought it may have been residual (washed again). This last weekend I wore it for a quick flight and by the end of the day it smelled SO bad (residual food smells, jet fuel, and the other unpleasant travel scents you may encounter), I was ready to set it on fire. I aired it out for a couple of days, and the smell still had not dissipated by the time I put it back on for my return flight. Not sure if this is something that others have encountered, and I certainly can't return it now after washing 3 times, but still, it's something I will consider in purchasing this particular sweater again.

I have forever sweaters in MANY colors and obviously really like them. As usual, they can be worn alone or look great over my shoulders for cool days/evenings.

Through the years I have bought the forever sweaters in almost every color. I just received a new navy blue one and the fabric content is completely different. They used to be soft, almost pure cotton. Now it's some acrylic fabric mixed with cotton. I am so disappointed. I have loved these sweaters for years and now I don't know if I'll ever purchase another one.

I have purchased these sweaters in just about every color over the years and usually love them. Recent purchases are disappointing. Sweaters I've purchased in 2026 smell absolutely disgusting (like body odor), and the stench doesn't go away with washing.

Comfortable, not too heavy but not see-through either. Don't wrinkle much. I wear these to work in an overly air-conditioned office all summer.

The best office staple ever! So soft, lightweight and looks like it cost wayyyy more than it did.
