Sweater is very soft and comfy but you do need to wear a long sleeved shirt underneath. I have the cardigan in a few colors and I like how it can be dressed up or down depending on the pants you pair it with. Runs slightly large.
This sweater is terrific for around the house or to run out for errands. I am a busy mom of four who has little time to think about what I'm wearing after dressing in the a.m. I have two of these sweaters and they are warm, attractive, and have held up to the tug and pull of little boys' messy hands, faces and mishaps.
This is the first time I have considered returning an item after wearing it. I wore this sweater only twice before the piling bothered me too much to wear it again in the workplace. Also, I ordered an XS and yet the sweater still looks very bulky when on. I hope LLBean doesn't lower the quality of its products--I shop LLBean because I have always had confidence in their standards.
The only problem I found with this sweater is that it seems to get holes in it quite easily. You must be especially careful when wearing it. Otherwise, I love the softness of it and enjoy wearing it.
