Product Insights
This Contemporaine sweater uses 100% reprocessed cotton to save about 6,000 liters of water and costs $19.99, less than half the sale price of comparable Johnny-collar sweaters. Its intentional oversized boxy fit divides opinion—some love it, others find it sloppy even when sizing down—but can be refined by layering a collared shirt and front-tucking the hem. Horizontal stripes create a slimming effect via the Helmholtz illusion, and the sweater pairs best with solid, neutral bottoms. The open Johnny collar adds a retro preppy accent, drawing on 1950s-60s sportswear heritage and Contemporaine's Canadian design roots. The sweater is opaque for everyday wear with possible slight translucency on lighter stripes in direct sunlight; care involves machine washing cold and laying flat to dry.

Pure quality
I bought this beautiful sweater because it is perfect to celebrate my beautiful country of Argentina during the World Cup and all holidays. Love the oversized boxy fit and that is pure cotton, fits incredibly well. Shipping was super fast two.
I wanted to love…
The fabric was nice but even sizing down did not make this sweater less big. It just looked sloppy.
