To me, #3 and #4 seem to fit you best. The others have too long arms or are unflattering to your belly. Sorry.
The shape of the beige one makes you look slim.
You look good in all the colours. Red is gorgeous on you!

I like 1 and 3. Both sizes of 1 look good, and as long as neither pulls on the back, the choice would depend on the comfort of each size.

Thank you, The Cat and Joyce B!

I like the texture on #3 and the tomato color on #4.

#1 is fun, but the sleeves *are* long! None of the sweaters pulls on the back. All sweaters are a bit cropped and fit better on my short waist than many sweater length.

I prefer 3. # 1 feels too long through the arm, which I like the next best.

I find #1 in the small and 2 in the green the most flattering on you. The other 2 look shapeless to me. I see the long sleeve in 1 which may bother you. I would wear the green with a skirt.

#3 has a really interesting texture/stripe. I like it quite a bit.

Green green green! Flattering in my book. Also the tomato red in pic 4.

The green top is my favourite - I like saturated colours on you. #4 is lovely too, but have you had to roll the sleeves because they were too long? That would be a deal breaker for me if it was the case.

I agree with the green sweater camp. It's my favorite on you. Then #3.

I like the green top best and that tomato red colour is lovely on you.

I like both in photo #2. I also like 3.
I'm becoming more sensitive to necklines and think that the necklines on #1 and #4 might be a bit wide on you, but I'm not sure.

Thank you all for you vote and useful comments!

I have not yet decided what to do. Shopping for cotton sweaters got me thinking of how frequently I wear the sweaters I already have. I'm really uncertain of the wear number, but I know for sure it's not *that* often.

In spring/summer I usually rely on a tank/cardi/blazer combo because the weather changes a lot (yesterday it was four seasons within two hours, lol ) and I'm really sensitive to how the fabrics feel on my skin and to getting cold. And I find it fussier to wear a top layer over a sweater than over a tank, t-shirt, button down or blouse.

Anyway, I decided to hold back a bit, but if I decide to buy one sweater, I will probably get the green one to wear with skirts. I'm most happy with that one because of the saturated colour and I don't have much green in my closet.

That makes sense, harmonica. I like the green. Yes, the saturated colours are great on you!

Ok - I like the small stripe, the green, the 3rd is also great. Not keen on the last red. It's not bad, but the sleeves seem neither here nor there to me.
