We are extreeeeeeeeeemely particular about our sweaters. Some may even use the word “psychotic.” We don’t. But some may.
Sweaters are like rom-coms. When they’re good, there’s nothing better. But when they’re bad, they let you down like nothing else can.
Most sweaters are terrible, as evidenced by this article we just wrote. And the reason most sweaters are terrible is because they’re hideously itchy, pilly, or the shape is stupid. And so when we found this sweater last year, we wrote about it constantly. We didn’t phrase it as the “sweater of the year,” but we should have. The material is softer than cashmere, has a sort of a stretchy, verging on spongy quality, and has the strange and unique ability to be both comfortably loose while also being immensely flattering.
And this year, the same brand has used the same material—something called whipped yarn—but this time, in the most profoundly flattering hoodie of all history and time. Please see here:
And here’s something you don’t hear all the time—we actually think it looks even better on NON-models. It runs huge (for reference the size below is an xs) so on us mere mortals it hangs more closely to the body while still skimming right over the belly in a very flattering way:
We associate hoodies with a sort of whimsical casualness, but the soft, cashmere-adjacent material makes it look quite smart and put-together, so, one might say, the best of both worlds. If you throw it on with jeans, you’re technically just wearing jeans and a sweater and yet, it looks polished. If you wear it with a maxi skirt you’ve dressed it down a bit so nothing looks too stiff or try-hard.
We truly can’t overstate the softness and comfort and GLORIOUSLY AMPLE armholes of this perfect, perfect sweater.
We only own the heather grey, but our eyes are on the lavender* and the charcoal*. Because when you find the best sweater on earth, you do need multiple colors. It’s just math.
