Customers overwhelmingly praise this top for its exceptional comfort and quality. The soft, lightweight cotton fabric with brushed terry lining feels luxurious and retains color vibrantly after washing. Most appreciate the relaxed, boxy silhouette paired with boatneck and three-quarter sleeves, calling it versatile for casual and smart settings. The oversized fit divides some opinions—while many love the modern drape, others find the neckline too wide or sleeves overly floppy. Several note sizing runs generous and may require downsizing. A few mention the hem rolls up after washing or the lack of stretch feels rigid on curvier figures. Overall, most customers consider it a worthwhile, comfortable staple.
I bought this & liked it so much, I ordered 4 more colors!

Oversized shirt.
Fit: True to size
After purchasing a blue pr of pants, I found this top matched perfectly. It is slightly larger than most of my 2x shirts, but it offers a nautical theme with its style. Very comf

Nice weight, feels expensive.
This is a beautiful shirt and I wanted to love it. I ordered a petite small, my usual size, and I understood that it was supposed to be oversized, but I felt swamped by it, the ne

Boxy sweater
Used for: Casual or Every Day
The sweater itself is nicely made. It is advertised as boxy so I expected that but it still ran large. Two sizes smaller would probably have worked better.

Relaxed??
In my previous review I forgot to mention that if you look at this item closely if considering purchase be sure and notice the width of the neckline.
It is so wide there is no way

Too big
The quality of the sweater is very good. My issue was the size, it was way too big and I bought an XS.
Wish it was true to size.

Huge
Used for: Casual or Every Day
Love this boatneck but in this case "Relaxed" equals "Huge" in my opinion.
I am hoping an encounter with a really hot dryer will help solve the problem.

Great weight!
Used for: Casual or Every Day
This top makes a wonderful extra layer but I was wearing it in the spring as is. The weight of the french terry is ideal. I'm not usually a fan of 'boxy' but i love this top!

Not Enough Dtretch
I really like the look of this top, but I think it would be more comfortable with some stretch to the fabric.
