Product Insights
The Buttoned Back Crocheted Sweater by Icône is a cropped, openwork cotton sweater whose back buttons enable easy dressing and an open-back look, while requiring layering over a camisole. The 100% cotton yarn provides cool, moisture-wicking breathability, but the crochet stretches with wear and needs wet blocking after washing and flat storage to maintain shape. At a sale price of $59.95, it offers value relative to similar sweaters, fitting Icône's playful, youth-oriented brand identity and suiting social occasions.
Verified claims
- Back buttons
- Leave a few back buttons undone and slip over head for easy on/off.
- Care
- Store flat and use no-rinse wool wash to prevent stretching and preserve button alignment.
- Sizing
- Regular size preserves cropped fit; sizing up adds slight length but stays cropped.
- Back closure
- The back buttons are functional and open fully for easy on and off; leaving several undone makes it easier to slip the sweater over the head.
- Shape retention
- Cotton crochet stretches with wear; wet blocking restores shape after washing.
- Drape
- The openwork crochet creates a fluid drape despite the cropped length.
- Washing
- Hand wash only; lay flat to dry; avoid wringing.
- Storage
- Store folded flat to prevent stretching.
- Blocking
- Wet block after wash; steam block between wears to correct curling.
- Material
- 100% cotton yarn feels cool and wicks moisture.
- Breathability
- The openwork crochet allows air to flow through the fabric, cooling the skin through convection rather than insulation.
- Layering
- Openwork crochet requires a camisole or bralette underneath.
- Stretch recovery
- Flat storage and periodic wet blocking restore the crochet's intended shape.
- Occasion styling
- Suited for social events thanks to its breathable crochet and distinctive back-button design.
- Value
- At $59.95 sale price, it undercuts similar sweaters by 20–40%.
- Fit and styling
- Cropped by design, with a back-button closure and an openwork knit best layered over a camisole or bralette.
- Brand positioning
- Icône is Simons' in-house brand for playful, youthful clothes under $100.
- Design identity
- Cropped-fit, back-button design expresses the brand's playful, youth-oriented identity.
- Cotton boat neckline
- The sweater is 100% cotton and has a boat neckline.
- Cotton moisture management
- The 100% cotton yarn has a cool, crisp hand and wicks moisture away from the skin, so the openwork sweater stays comfortable from afternoon heat into evening.
- Fabric feel and stretch
- Several buyers report the cotton yarn feels scratchy and has little stretch, making the sweater delicate and difficult to get on or off without damage.

A standout layer for date nights and gallery openings
Reviewers reach for this sweater when they want an eye-catching, artistic look — the buttoned back and crochet detail reportedly draw frequent compliments and start conversations on nights out. Note that reviewers describe the crochet as scratchy against bare skin, with some suggesting a layer underneath, and the delicate, no-stretch material makes putting it on and taking it off a careful process rather than one for rushed dressing.[2]
Layering piece for under jackets or over tees
Per customer feedback summarized by Simons, this crocheted sweater works as a layering piece worn under jackets or over long-sleeve tees, with the open crochet adding a handmade, textural element without bulk. The openwork fabric is see-through and reportedly feels scratchy against bare skin, and the slightly cropped cut can leave the midriff exposed, so many wearers style it over a camisole or with high-waisted bottoms rather than alone.[2,3]
A statement piece for building outfits around
Per a summary of customer reviews, this crocheted sweater is used as an outfit-building favorite, with its buttoned back and artisan hand-work look drawing frequent compliments. Some reviewers also report styling it back-to-front as part of reversible layering to extend its wardrobe potential.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Buttoned Back Crocheted Sweater: Choose this if you want an artistic, conversation-starting crochet layer: the openwork 100% cotton knit and buttoned back draw frequent compliments, per reported reviewer feedback, and it layers under jackets or over long-sleeve tees without bulk. Plan to wear a camisole underneath, since the slightly cropped cut leaves the midriff exposed and the fabric feels scratchy against bare skin. Note the delicate, no-stretch crochet must be handled carefully to put on and tear-free, and sleeves run tight, so sizing up is advised if you're between sizes or have wider arms.[1,2,3] | Openwork Knit Tie-Up Cuffs Sweater: Choose this if you want a lightweight, semi-sheer openwork knit in bright blue with tie-up cuffs, a tie at the neckline, and a scalloped hem for feminine, boho-chic styling over sundresses, tanks, or with high-waisted bottoms. Reviewers note the stretch knit adds texture without weight, but the cropped length runs short—hitting above the hip—so shoppers seeking full midriff coverage, or pairing it with low-rise bottoms, may find it exposing. Expect some upkeep: wash inside out in cold water, lay flat to dry, and smooth snags by hand rather than pulling them.[4,5,6,7,8,9] | Fringed Crochet Poncho: Choose this if you want a lightweight layering piece: an openwork crochet knit in a soft, stretch yarn with a loose rectangular drape, wide neckline, and long knotted fringe along the hem. Its allover diamond-and-lattice stitch creates a see-through, net-like texture that covers the torso and upper arms, so plan to wear it over a top rather than on its own. It comes in one size in Ivory or Green, is 100% acrylic, and is made in Italy exclusively for Icône.[10,11,12,13] |

Scratchy!! Delicate. Hard to maneuver in/out
Beautiful look but strange feel. No stretch so the delicacy of the item makes it super difficult to get on or off without damage. Returning.
Such a ‘pick me up’ for my wardrobe of staples
Layering this under or over adds such an element of handsome ‘hand-work’. I wear it ‘back to front’ as well. It’s the first piece I choose, now, in building an outfit. An instant favourite.
