This EF "T-neck" oversized, moderately high-low styled sweater on sale from Garnet Hill ended up on my doorstep.( Long story that began by cleaning up paper piles to throw away the GH spring catalog--oh well!)

I took a chance on it because turtlenecks and cowlnecks were on my list to try more of, rather than more plain necks, and yet most sweaters are scoop or V neck. I usually can't wear much of EF because the necklines are too low.

I had a more classic sweater style in mind for "basics"; this cut is beyond "fluid". But, I love how it seems to really "make" the outfit. It's also in a super-cozy, toasty warm merino knit of some kind that is soft and squishy and not itchy. So it is both a mild "statement" and comfortable, FFBO at the same time.

Shown normal view and in Incredible Hulk view. When worn under the lab coat, the drama of the style is not very obvious, which sometimes paradoxically can be a good thing. But for other occasions it would be its big self. It also is just long enough in front to work with pants, so that's a key feature (would probably wear a tank under, to prevent midriff malfunctions).

Would this be a one-year stand only? This style probably is more extreme than would qualify for "investment" wardrobe, though being on sale would help the budget factor a bit--yes? Or no, it has some staying power? Would be interested in your thoughts on how you think this looks for me and also how you consider longevity vs. right-now happy and get the right distribution.
