An oversized striped crew neck, cut roomy through the body, in three warm colors: brown, khaki, and orange. Not cropped, not dropped-shoulder — just a straightforward crew neck sweater made considerably larger than it needs to be.
How oversized is oversized
The bust runs 51.2" on the small and 56.7" on the extra large, with a body length of 24.4" to 26.2". A standard crew neck in a small measures closer to 40" across the bust, so this is roughly a foot of extra room.
Take your usual size to get the look. Sizing up adds width, not length — and at these measurements there is already a great deal of width.
Oversized done the useful way
There are two ways to make a sweater oversized. One is to exaggerate the proportions until it becomes a statement piece you have to build an outfit around. The other is to keep the shape familiar and simply add room. This is the second kind — the crew neckline and the body length are ordinary, so it works with everything a regular sweater works with, just more comfortably.
The stripes are horizontal and the colorways are all warm-toned, which keeps it reading autumnal rather than nautical.
The details
- Classic crew neckline, the easiest neckline to layer under a coat.
- Ribbed knit with a slight stretch.
- Horizontal stripes in brown, khaki, or orange.

How to wear it
- Front-tucked into high-waisted jeans, so the volume has a stopping point.

Before you order
Should I size down? Only if you want it merely relaxed. The extra room is the design, and there is a lot of it.
Which color goes furthest? Khaki and brown. Orange is the one people compliment.
How do I wash stripes? Cold, always — it's what keeps the lighter stripe from picking up the darker one.
