I really cannot wear them and feel fab :-(<br />Order placed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider/page/2#post-1384038 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:19:16 +0000 Suz 1384038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with that, Sveta. I think that's the best choice! Good luck with the order. And now, you temptress, you may have persuaded me to pop a few items in my own cart....</p> <p>Including a boys' sweater!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider/page/2#post-1384029 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:15:21 +0000 Sveta 1384029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this blue has less red in it than my Gap sweater but because it is heathered it may still work. I think I will go with the light blue - I think blues are easier for me to get working&nbsp;than pinks without trying on. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider/page/2#post-1384026 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:13:21 +0000 Suz 1384026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And yes, Angie -- one printed grey sweatshirt is probably enough for my closet. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>But Sveta, speaking of exploded floral prints, I know you don't wear tees, but check this out!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider/page/2#post-1384019 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:11:41 +0000 Suz 1384019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Either blue would look good with the plaid Mias, actually.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is hard to say how either would or would not work with denim. Both work with black and cream/ white.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider/page/2#post-1384016 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:10:50 +0000 Suz 1384016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the screen, the pink looks a bit too warm/ bright for you, I think. So I would go with one of the blues. They each have advantages. What do you think you'll want to wear them with? I am tempted to say the pale blue. How close is it to the blue of that GAP dress you have, I wonder, or your robin's egg blue jacket? I know it is not the same, but I am trying to imagine how it will look on you. The Zara jacket is a brighter, warmer blue (more spring like). The GAP dress is I think more mid-tone and also more intense, less pastel. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider/page/2#post-1384008 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:04:37 +0000 Sveta 1384008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><span>OK Suz, make up my mind for me - light blue, indigo or pink? I have "our" indigo merino tunic, lavender &nbsp;and lilac&nbsp;sweaters, blush tipped cashmere sweater, navy Tippi and boxy t-neck...which color in this one?<br />I will order pointelle in white.</span> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1384005 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 01:02:29 +0000 Angie 1384005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spot on Suz - who will look incredible in that grey&nbsp;floral sweatshirt - but already has one.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1384000 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:58:23 +0000 Suz 1384000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am evesdropping on this convo....</p> <p>I would guess that the merino pointelle would be lovely. Their merinos always have such a beautiful drape. The lambswool is a different matter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383997 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:55:33 +0000 Angie 1383997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Either blue. Maybe an L. It's short.&nbsp;</p> <p>The floral sweatshirt is&nbsp;<b>very</b> grey. xo</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383986 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:48:56 +0000 Sveta 1383986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also for crewneck - L or M? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383984 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:47:03 +0000 Sveta 1383984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie. For crewneck - did you mean light blue or indigo? I am afraid the pink maybe too bright for me - no?<br />Passing on the sparkly one :-)<br />The sweatshirt is interesting. The color looks different on the model than in the stock picture - light grey vs charcoal. Which is IRL? Although grey is not my best color unless it is dove grey with purple undertone... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383980 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:42:08 +0000 Angie 1383980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crew neck in either blue or the&nbsp;pink.</p> <p>And I vote M on the Pointelle. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383977 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:40:37 +0000 Angie 1383977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. Not so fab.&nbsp;Feels flammable.&nbsp;The inside lining shows through in front, which I did not like.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383971 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:37:30 +0000 Sveta 1383971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also - anybody have seen this sparkly one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383968 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:34:32 +0000 Sveta 1383968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - thanks. I think I am ordering merino pointelle but a bit on the fence for the size : M or L? I think I would like it to be less oversized than on the model...am I crazy? I am leaning towards M, I asked JCrew about the measurements and looks like body measurement for M is a couple of inches bigger than my Tippi sweaters in XL. I think I may be able to get away with the shoulders because of the raglan sleeve and the under arm looks pretty roomy to me.<br />Unfortunately Giselle is out of my price range - I like it a lot. I also like the crew neck - but which color? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383965 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:30:30 +0000 Angie 1383965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sweatshirt is a brilliant piece if you can handle the colour. It has an excellent fit on the hip and is longer length. Size down. Runs very big.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383962 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:28:40 +0000 Angie 1383962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are really fun to layer over shirts too:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383961 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:28:15 +0000 Angie 1383961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw the pointelle Merino in JC. It looks great. Not itchy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383934 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 23:41:42 +0000 Sveta 1383934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, you convinced me It goes right out of my shopping bag now!<br />Have you seen the pointelle merino one in the store? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383932 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 23:39:47 +0000 Suz 1383932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it does. I was smitten by it online, too, but was not sure about the available colours so I vowed that I would go to see it when I was in Toronto last week for work.&nbsp;</p> <p>And that's when I decided, "meh." I can't really put my finger on what bothered me about it, but it definitely didn't attract me in person.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383930 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 23:36:50 +0000 Sveta 1383930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No Suz, mine is cashmere as well but I think it is a different style: even if it is called "tee" it looks like a sweater with welted cuffs and hem.<br />About the lambswool pointelle: I saw it on the mannequin in Seattle but was not attracted to it so I did not try it on or even touched it. Then I saw it in the JCrew catalog and was smitten - maybe it looks better in the pictures than IRL?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383926 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 23:26:49 +0000 Suz 1383926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I meant the lambswool one, Sveta. It just felt...meh. To me, that is.&nbsp;</p> <p>And yes, you are right, the sweater I have is more like a tee -- I think maybe you have a merino version of this, perhaps? Or I am totally wrong.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, the cashmere one has no welt, but it has rolled hems on bottom and sleeves. It semi-tucks really well but can also be worn out. Most of my sweaters are welted so this is a nice change, but I agree it would not work as well with a skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383921 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 23:20:24 +0000 Sveta 1383921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I love your selection and hopefully some of them will be winners for you.<br />I was eyeing the cropped chunky t-neck as well but acrylic in the content scared me. Angie, do you know how high is it?<br />Unfortunately merino zip sweater is not available in my size except in grey which is not my color. As for the colorblock one - somehow I don't feel the colors: I would prefer one color but in a textured pattern or knit. Featherlight T-neck is lovely but it is too thin for what I am after: It is great for layering UNDER but I am looking for a sweater to layer OVER and this is not the one.<br />Pinstripe sweater is interesting but I want a lighter color.<br />Suz, cashmere tee does not have a welt or low-high or split hem, right? If so it is not the same as my tipped tee as that one has a welt. It looks like this tee looks more like ... a tee compared to a sweater, no?<br />Suz, when you said pointelle sweater - did you mean lambswool ro merino one from my finds?<br />SkiDiva - thanks for the review. You said that the t-neck fitted close to the body - would it be too bulky in size up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383913 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 22:57:07 +0000 bj1111 1383913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have the same tneck Angie has, in charcoal. &nbsp;very buttery soft, great drape ITCH-FREE, and i am the proverbial princess-and-the-pea when it comes to itch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383834 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 19:39:53 +0000 Suz 1383834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that t-neck, too, Angie -- and I agree -- when given a choice (in cooler weather) I go a t-neck every time! Both for flattery and comfort.&nbsp;</p> <p>But the cashmere tee is quite nice in that it can be worn as a tee (with a cami under it) <b>and</b> as an actual sweater (over a shirt or blouse). The fit is not oversized but fluid. I sized up on mine for a bit of extra fluidity and I am glad I did.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383827 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 19:20:33 +0000 Angie 1383827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Suz. I bet I will love mine in tomato red. Although T-necks are usually more appealing to me when I fit the different styles on side by side. Hmmmmmm. We'll see how it all unfolds.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm wearing the featherweight BF&nbsp;T-neck in navy right now with black jeans, taupe patterned belt (semi tucked),&nbsp;and light taupe booties. I love that T-neck. Very soft and fashionably roomy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383824 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 19:17:43 +0000 Anonymous 1383824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to add that I ordered the Merino wool Asymetrical Zip in the Bittersweet Chocolate.&nbsp; It is a lovely colour but the sleeves and the back of the sweater are a slightly lighter knit than the front, so that when I wear a white shirt under it, the white shows through the knit in the sleeves.&nbsp; I usually wear a size small in JCrew tops, and since the description says it is a relaxed fit, I ordered a small.&nbsp; I wish that I had sized up so that the fit was more relaxed.&nbsp; I still really like the sweater and wore it all day yesterday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383822 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 19:11:40 +0000 Suz 1383822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can report on the Collection cashmere long sleeved tee. I picked up one on sale a while ago in the berry melange and I absolutely adore it. Sveta already has one of these, I believe. I find it a super versatile piece. Reviews were mixed but I have worn it hard already with no pilling and no itching.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the look of that turtleneck but have not seen it.&nbsp;</p> <p>The pointelle sweater was a disappointment to me. I saw it in person and something about the texture made my hand jump away. It wasn't itchy but I just didn't like the thickness of the knit. It didn't feel nice to the touch to me.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-sweaters-to-consider#post-1383821 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 19:08:17 +0000 Anonymous 1383821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta your post is very timely - I was just looking at the same sweaters and wondering about the fit and the feel as well! </p>
