Lately, I've fallen madly in love with collared quarter-zip sweaters for fall, like seemingly every style enthusiast who frequents TikTok. And while plenty of luxe styles have drawn my interest (particularly varying shades of neutrals with cable-knit designs), I've resisted splurging solely for the sake of my wall account. But on a recent trip to my local Target, I came wideness the A New Day Women's Quarter-Zip Sweater ($28, originally $35) and immediately knew it had to go home with me. You see, as much as I've been loving the neutrals trend, I've been equally obsessed with this rich shade of blue, and now that it's officially started snowing where I live (yes, really), I'm in dire need of some increasingly optimistic hues in my life. The verdict: I was sold. Check out my honest review on the cozy silhouette ahead.
What I Like Well-nigh This Sweater
I love this sweater considering it's both cozy and chic. It's crafted in a thick subscription knit with an oversize fit that keeps me from getting too hot when I wear it virtually the house (which is frequently, by the way). I've been teaming it with leggings to work from home, but it can moreover be dressed up with a pair of trousers and boots, evidenced below. By far my favorite detail is the statement collar, which, IMO, makes it squint so much increasingly expensive than it unquestionably is.
What's Worth Noting Well-nigh This Sweater
My only complaint is that, without a week of wear, I noticed that this sweater was covered in small balls of thread that make it squint like I've owned it for much longer. In all honesty, it doesn't scarecrow me just yet, expressly considering that hasn't taken yonder from how cozy or on trend it is, and it's not wildly noticeable unless you're up close. But I'm not the only one who's bummed well-nigh this. Another shopper had the same experience: "Wanted to love this, the verisimilitude and the diamond are perfect but it went bobbly immediately," they wrote in a review in which they gave it two stars. "I've only worn it twice but it looks like its been through the wash/tumble dryer repeatedly."
Who This Sweater Is Weightier For
This half-zip is weightier for those who want to embrace the collared-sweater trend without having to make a large financial investment. If you can squint past the likely unavoidable pilling, I think you'll love it as much as I do for both loungewear and workwear.
Additional Details
- It comes in sizes XS-4X.
- It moreover comes in cream, but it's currently sold out in sizes XS-XXL.
