I really liked it but didn't trust myself enough to buy. I will definitely pick it up next time I go in.  @Unfrumped: You make an excellent point about the faux neckline. I normally don't love crew necks on me unless they end around my collarbones. I think the color blocking makes this much more flattering than a plain crew neck. Great observation. @sarah: I love the cashmere sweater you linked. I think if you are trying to de-emphasize your square shoulders, it may not work. That being said, I think it would look fab on square shoulders--I am trying to de-emphasize mine so I don't look like Lurch.  sarah on "Is this shoulder minimizing?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shoulder-minimizing#post-1025892 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 17:01:13 +0000 sarah 1025892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is very interesting. I like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.anntaylor.com/collectible-cashmere-colorblocked-sweater/319538?colorExplode=true&skuId=14775819&catid=cat610114&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=6332">this one from AT</a> (except for the price), but thought it wouldn't work for my rectangular shoulders. Now I'm all confused about what does and doesn't work! Very cute ; ) unfrumped on "Is this shoulder minimizing?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shoulder-minimizing#post-1025869 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 15:54:27 +0000 unfrumped 1025869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I didn't really analyze the shoulders, but it looks amazing. So go for it! I think another feature is the "nude" upper color block which opens up a faux low neckline look, so it gives you breathing space there, but the black parts still bring out your hair coloring and so you're not washed out as a pure beige or camel might.

Cute stuff. I will have to let DD's have first crack. I try not to shop their territory too often--it's their favorite store :)  catgirl on "Is this shoulder minimizing?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shoulder-minimizing#post-1025603 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 05:25:21 +0000 catgirl 1025603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Check Forever 21 too - they have lots of slouchy drop shouldered sweatshirt looks that I LOVED! <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Category.aspx?br=f21&category=sweater_sweatshirts-hoodies" rel="nofollow">http://www.forever21.com/Produ.....ts-hoodies</a> kellygirl on "Is this shoulder minimizing?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shoulder-minimizing#post-1025601 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 05:22:59 +0000 kellygirl 1025601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow! Thanks! I didn't buy it but now I am going to. It meets all of my requirements in terms of cost, color, fit, layering potential, and washability! (This is M in case anyone is wondering about sizing.)  I was overwhelmed by all of the long sleeve tops I saw at the mall today. H&M, ON, Target--sassy sweatshirts and long sleeve sweaters galore!  ETA: Stock photo. Isn't it weird how different the color block on the shoulders look on the model? I wonder if the sample was different than what was mass produced?  AJ on "Is this shoulder minimizing?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shoulder-minimizing#post-1025595 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 05:11:22 +0000 AJ 1025595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You know that downplaying my IT shoulders is a big priority for me. This looks FAB. BBQ! Looks great with your cropped jeans and gladiators. catgirl on "Is this shoulder minimizing?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shoulder-minimizing#post-1025593 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 05:04:42 +0000 catgirl 1025593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yep.  When the colorblocking falls exactly right, it works for us.  Also I'm finding that dropped sleeves (where the seam is well past my shoulder) work well as long as the garment itself doesn't have an IT shape.  Kristin SF on "Is this shoulder minimizing?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shoulder-minimizing#post-1025591 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 05:03:34 +0000 Kristin SF 1025591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, this is the first colorblocked sweater that I've really loved. Great color combo, looks fantastic on you. I hope you bought it!

I saw this at ON today. What do you think of this style versus the soft raglan sleeve? I *think* it looks good but I'm not 100% sure. Would live your opinion. Thanks!
