Is this baggier look in?

Kafe

I got some great advice yesterday on finding good quality cashmere sweaters and I spent some time looking around the net. I really like this color and am considering putting this sweater on my Christmas list...... It's not too early to make a list, is it?

But, it's not very fitted. I have no problem with less fitted tops, and actually prefer them, but am wondering if this style is out or on it's way back in. If it's frumpy, I don't want it.

Thanks!

I've been hearing that ever since some fashion editors showed up at a runway show in navy boys sweaters that the boxy look is in. Also something to do with a tv series I don't watch - can't remember the name but the killer? wears old fashioned boxy handknits.

This one looks too wrinkly at bottom half to look like those, which are
just .... thicker.

Hi Kafe! that color is really beautiful and easy to mix, plus big for spring. i'd say if you like to wear this type of silhouette & aren't flummoxed by it as some people are, it should be a really nice item!!! good luck! steph

Thanks for the input. I'd have to try it on to really be able to tell how I'd look in it. I'm 5'3" so I guess it could go either way.

celia, I think the color suits me. If it were much different than what I see on my monitor, it may not though. I actually have a picture of myself in another recent thread asking about colors. Those pictures may not be up for long though. I feel sort of "exposed" with them posted.

Thanks!
