The crewneck sweater for the first cool morning of fall

A crewneck sweater in a cotton blend with modal and polyester, knit fine and light so it sits under a blazer or on its own over jeans. The listing gives a regular fit and ribbed trim at the neck, cuffs and hem. Care is machine wash cold, then dry flat.

The fabric is 55% cotton, 25% modal and 20% polyester. Cotton is the largest share, so this is a cotton sweater first, with modal and polyester blended in. The listing describes the yarn as soft, fine knit and light, with a beautiful drape. How soft it feels is a matter of touch, and the listing gives no weight in grams or ounces, so it only says light.

The shape is a regular fit, which the listing describes as close but comfortable, with easy movement. The neckline is an open crewneck, and the sleeves are long, with ribbing at the neck, cuffs and hem. The listing calls the cut flattering, which is its own word and a matter of taste more than measurement. Plus sizes are available, but the listing text gives no measurements, so check the size guide before you order.

For wearing, the listing suggests jeans for a casual day, or layering under a blazer for a professional look. Care is machine wash cold and dry flat, so it does not go in the dryer. It is certified Standard 100 by OEKO TEX, a program that tests textile products against a list of more than 1,000 chemicals. It is imported, and no country is named.
