Customers overwhelmingly praise the sweater for its premium cotton fabric, exceptional softness, and timeless classic design that flatters with a modest V-neckline and longer length falling at the hip. Many love the slight stretch and roomy silhouette perfect for layering, describing it as comfortable and elegant. However, sizing inconsistencies remain a notable concern, with many reporting the sweater runs large or boxy, requiring exchanges for smaller sizes. Despite this frustration, most customers consider the quality and style worth the sizing hassle and recommend it highly.

Bought it in the spring and I've used it throughout the summer and hope I can wear it forever! Fit is perfect--feels luxurious- looks terrific with jeans and is great to shove in

Too big
I keep looking for clothes that will fit me. LL Bean MEDIUM was my size. Now even extra small is way too large for me.

Best LL Bean Sweater in a long time!,

Best sweater I have seen come through LL Bean in a long time. It’s so hard to find a good v neck and the quality is outstanding! I will admit sizing is not consistent and I have on

Great classic sweater that runs large
Used for: Casual or Every Day
This is a great sweater. The material is soft and it has a nice "give". I took off a star because of sizing. I followed the size guide, and it ended up being a size too large. Bein

It’s a good looking cotton sweater but it is already too big even though I had ordered the smallest size possible.
I need to send it back by ups and no shipping form was included…n

Great sweater!
Used for: Casual or Every Day
I love this sweater. The longer length (I don’t like anything cropped) and the V is not too low. The weight is perfect for cooler days. I machine washed it and it came out great.

Great sweater, but runs large.
Used for: Relaxing, Casual or Every Day
Excellent quality and material. It has very large arm length, and is large overall. It said slightly fitted, but I didn't find that. I will return for a smaller size.

Very nice sweater
Used for: Travel, Relaxing, Casual or Every Day
Finally ordered this and got a chance to wear it!
Ordered a size smaller as I find this style tends to run big overall. What I love is that it sits at mid hip, not at the waist.
