AllSaints sweater - YouLookFab Forum

I ordered the AllSaints Lock mock neck sweater after mention of it somewhere here, and it arrived today. I was excited to try it on, so here are a few pictures.

I think I will return it, because the color is more yellow in person than I had hoped. More butter than chalk. It is soft, and I really like the style. It has my favorite neck style--a cozy cowl. This is my usual size, and it is quite roomy. I don't think I would size down, despite the oddness I'm seeing on the right sleeve in the back-view photo. I just think I need to hold out for a better shade of white, or I won't wear it. I do like it better with the lower-contrast pants and the narrower silhouette jeans.

I tried it on with

1-2: off-white boyfriend jeans I had on today (you can see how it is more yellow than the jeans)

3-4: black and white pinstripe flannel wool pants (OSKA) and black booties

5: neutral shades glen plaid wool wide-legged cropped pants (OSKA) and black booties

6-7: dark wash jeans and graphite booties

I like it on you but agree that more chalk and less cream would probably be better on you. It's a great useful style though!

Glad you showed us. I was looking at this sweater, too but was put off by the comments on the odd fit. Doesn’t look too odd to me, I kind of like it. It is unfortunate that this shade of white doesn’t work for you, the style looks good on you.

Oh, my!! I really loved this sweater and intended to buy it but the price in CAD was really steep and Angie did not make it a top pick, plus some reviews were negative. But the cut is fantastic on you!! I love it! I hear you 100% on the shade of white, though. It looks fine in the photos but I know all about whites that are not clear enough -- I went through the same dance with white puffers this past winter and held out for a better colour than my first options and glad I did. I'll bet you could sew something like this really well.

Ditto what Suz said

Interesting. I actually quite like it, especially with the lantern pants! I think the look really suits you. I do appreciate the colour concern though, and we all need to hold out for exactly what is best, and not settle for less.

Oh, very nice

KILLER silhouette on you, Sharan! Thanks for showing us. It's a gorgeous piece.

Alas, not your white. Nor "glacier" nor "moon". Too warm. Onto the right shade of white that makes you happy

Yes, LJP and Angie, I do like the style. Glad to hear you like the look with the lantern pants.

Suz, if only I could find the fabric!

I love the style on you, especially 3/4, but agree a yellowish white is not a substitution for a cool white and you should wait.
