This open front cardigan sweater is generously sized with a forgiving stretch, and it's soft and cuddly to wear. I am a medium sized woman (around a size 8, just under 5'4") and it's a perfect length with a looser fit on me to accommodate layers under it. That said, it still drapes beautifully in a flattering manner and isn't so oversized as to look awkward. The smoky gray coloring goes with just about anything, I love that it comes with a tie, and it's so comfy that it's my new favorite cardigan. It certainly gets two thumbs up from me!
