I have a short not so skinny neck so might feel snug. But I like that it isn't higher.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2399139 Mon, 17 Nov 2025 13:46:26 +0000 Chris987 2399139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>RobinF</b> the mock neck is not too tight, but I have a very skinny/short neck.

The mock neck isn't too tight? Looks like the collar on the blue one is looser than on the burgundy. I don't like turtlenecks but if this is loose enough it might be fine. Love the large print florals. Thanks for the review. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2399136 Mon, 17 Nov 2025 13:11:55 +0000 Chris987 2399136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Lisa!</b></p> <p><b>Kyle</b> - thanks! I see that you live in Arizona. Depending which part you are in, no need for sweaters at all!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Carol </b>- interesting comment about some of the patterns looking like 1960s artwork - I see it too and that's probably why I like them. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jailieen</b> - thanks. The irony is that this sweater DOES come in petite sizes (so very few sweaters do) , but the regular size has a length I like better. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2399096 Sun, 16 Nov 2025 17:28:10 +0000 JAileen 2399096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know petites often have a hard time with fit, but these look pretty fab on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2399084 Sun, 16 Nov 2025 15:10:10 +0000 Carol 2399084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the rec....I just went to the website and clicked through ALL&nbsp; the designs. They make a pretty choice striped version in several colors, and their florals remind me of modern art from the 60s. Most graphics I don't go for, but the swan looks like a beautiful book illustration.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2399059 Sun, 16 Nov 2025 01:44:52 +0000 Kyle 2399059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rarely wear sweaters, but seeing you in this sweater is tempting me to try one myself. It’s very nice on you — flattering and pretty — and I can see how versatile it would be, especially for someone in a cold climate. Great find for you, Chris, and thank you for modeling it for us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2399050 Sun, 16 Nov 2025 00:53:34 +0000 Lisa 2399050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely sweaters on you! The blue swan is especially pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398714 Tue, 11 Nov 2025 17:10:57 +0000 Chris987 2398714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Roberta</b>, hope you find another one to your liking soon!&nbsp;</p> <p>Sure <b>Angie</b>, it's a deal &nbsp;BTW the Swan one is a very pale blue, close to grey but not grey.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398669 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 22:49:28 +0000 Angie 2398669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b>, the scale of the navy and white would absolutely work on you! It would be GORGEOUS.</p> <p>The brick and pink are a little wrong for me - not clear and bright enough! They look a little earthy for you. Although a beautiful design and combo for someone else.</p> <p><b>Roberta </b>and <b>Sharan</b>, love that you're Carys twinsies!!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Chris</b>, I'll wear pink hearts for you! You can wear grey swans for me ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398668 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 22:37:46 +0000 Suz 2398668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Angie</b>! I love that one but wondered if the scale of the pattern would overwhelm. There's a pink a red version too that is great, though possibly more your red than mine!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398667 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 22:28:55 +0000 Roberta 2398667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Suz has the navy floral that I really wanted and did not buy. And I love the swan on you, Chris! Firecracker and I have the same purple swirl design. I am planning to buy at least one more in the next few months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398651 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 20:30:32 +0000 Chris987 2398651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b>, I totally agree about this sweater being so versatile on different people. I too look at the various colors/patterns from time to time. Anthro does bring out new ones from time to time as they retire older ones. Hopefully one that is up your alley will appear soon! &nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks <b>Ket </b>and <b>Slim Cat.&nbsp;</b></p> <p><b>Angie</b> I considered that camel one you got but I don't do hearts or pink on clothing :-)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Firecracker</b> that wine one is great! That pattern is more bold than I like but I can see it working for you&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398642 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 18:27:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2398642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fantastic on you, Chris! I have one, too and really like it. Just wore mine last week, with matching wine corduroys.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398641 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 18:22:32 +0000 Angie 2398641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz,</b> I like this one for you in navy and white: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398639 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 18:20:31 +0000 Angie 2398639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Chris</b> and <b>Suz,</b> we can begin the Carys sweater thread :)</p> <p>ALWAYS good to compare sizes to assess fit. You've grasped the conceit well. Wooohoooooo! Well done.</p> <p>Here's my Carys sweater. I have one, and would consider another when the next fab-for-me colour combo finds me:</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398638 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 18:14:34 +0000 slim cat 2398638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great sweaters - love the details and pretty colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398636 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 17:43:32 +0000 Ket 2398636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that’s so lovely on you! You look really great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398634 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 16:50:12 +0000 Suz 2398634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun to see Carys on you, <b>Chris</b>! <b>Roberta</b> is another on the forum who owns multiples of this one!&nbsp;</p> <p>I have one, also sized down but still boxy, and I really enjoy it. I would like to duplicate but haven't found exactly the right colours/ patterns so far.&nbsp;</p> <p>This style has the magical ability to adapt to different body types and to work in various sizes. It's something to do with the fabric, I think. It drapes very nicely.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398625 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 15:25:17 +0000 Chris987 2398625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THanks <b>Angie!</b>! I could possibly wear the XS (a size up from what I got) ... but happy with the XXS. I don't like really boxy fits on me. I've learned some important lessons here on YLF (from you and others) about trying on multiple sizes to see how things really look before buying.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398623 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 15:14:11 +0000 Angie 2398623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY, <b>Chris</b>! Isn't the fabric YUMMY!!! My skin is very happy wearing this sweater.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for showing us how and why you rock your Carys sweaters! Thrilled they work so well for you. They love you right back, and look KILLER cute :)&nbsp;</p> <p>This is also a very good lesson in CHOOSING THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU. You've sized down considerably to make the pullover fit just how you want it to. Others - like me - wear the pullover is a fluid and boxy way like the model. Our choice! We are the boss. Please carry on.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-anthro-maeve-carys-sweater-x3#post-2398617 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 14:18:06 +0000 Chris987 2398617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally agree with Angie’s rave reviews of the Anthropologie Maeve Carys sweater <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2025/10/29/fab-finds-knitwear-and-other-tops/">https://youlookfab.com/2025/10.....ther-tops/</a>. </p> <p>I bought two in October,: "swan" which is a very light blue with a black abstract swan outline, &nbsp;and “fresh berry” which is burgundy with very light blue topstitching. </p> <p>The fit is what initially grabbed me. I don't like a &nbsp;cropped look on my short-waisted body, and I also don't like the look of the hem hitting at or below the widest part of my thighs. That gives very little room to get a good length, hence sweater shopping very difficult for me. I wear sweaters 9 months a year &nbsp;in various weights so it's a lot of work. </p> <p>This sweater, sized down to a XXS is just right. It gets &nbsp;a little pilled on the forearms, but my defuzzing tool takes care of that. I can wear these for many months with underlayers ranging from tanks to Uniqlo heat tech mock neck tops. </p> <p>It comes in a LOT of different colors and patterns. I also have the blue floral print from last year but have not worn it yet this fall.&nbsp;</p> <p>Outfit #1: Dark wash Jeans (NYDJ Marilyn Straight), burgundy sweater (Carys "fresh berry"), brown suede booties (Talbots), brown crossbody (Rebecca Minkoff), and not shown in photo - blue coat that is insulated and water resistant (LLBean). These are the same booties/bag I showed in another recent WIW. </p> <p>Outfit #2:grey bootcut jeans (Democracy itty bitty bootcut), (Carys “swan”), black puffer vest (Bernardo), grey suede booties (Naturalizer), black cross body bag (Radley) </p> <p>Comments welcome as always !</p>
