Product Insights
Twik's Fleece Heart Striped Sweater, a Simons-exclusive for Canada, offers a soft, silky drape from its 50% viscose, 28% polyester, 22% nylon knit that follows contours without gaping, while ribbed trim and synthetic fibers prevent bagging and pilling for shape retention over time. The straight, standard-length silhouette adapts to various torsos and layers cleanly tucked or untucked, making it ideal for fall layering despite its lightweight, breathable nature. Its raised sherpa fleece heart patch adds a playful touch, and at $39 CAD it costs 35% less than comparable styles from Chicwish, but requires hand washing and flat drying to maintain quality.

Deep Research
How the one-size fit works for different body types
- The 50% viscose, 28% polyester, 22% nylon blend imparts a fluid drape that, combined with the fine stretch knit, allows the straight silhouette to gently follow the body’s contours without pulling or gaping, making the one-size cut flattering across a broad range of builds.
- The ribbed trim provides recovery and structure, so the sweater holds its shape through wear and the one-size doesn’t lose its clean lines even after multiple outings.
- Unlike Twik’s merino-touch mock-neck sweater, which has a deliberately cropped cut that hits above the waist, this sweater’s straight fit extends to a standard length, making it more amenable to tucking into high-waisted trousers or wearing untucked for a classic casual look.
What to expect from the Twik brand
- Twik is a private label exclusive to Simons, which operates 19 stores across Canada and simons.ca — the brand has no third-party retail distribution, meaning it carries an in-house, curated identity and is only directly accessible to Canadian shoppers.
- Simons has explicitly upgraded Twik's quality since at least 2010, with Peter Simons stating a desire to 'raise Twik with increased fashion quality and more refined design' — meaning the brand now sits above fast-fashion basics and garments like this sweater benefit from elevated materials and construction.
- Twik was created by Simons in 1967 specifically for women aged 16–25, with its name reportedly inspired by 1960s supermodel Twiggy — giving this $39 sweater a design lineage that stretches back over half a century within Canada's oldest family-run department store.
- Twik is positioned as a style playground for confident young women — then-CEO Peter Simons described the target as someone 'who wants to experiment with fashion and create her own style' — so garments are designed to be affordable and trend-forward, aligning with this sweater's playful heart detail and impulse-friendly $39 price.
How the price compares to similar styles
- At $39 CAD, the Fleece Heart Striped Sweater sits at Twik's lowest ticket for striped sweaters — identical to the Slim Fit Striped Sweater at $39 — while detail-enhanced versions like the Fitted Striped Sweater command $49, so the heart novelty comes at the brand's most accessible introductory price.
- Compared to Twik’s $49 Fitted Striped Sweater — which claims Italian import, a rolled boat neck, and a fitted waistband for a bloused effect — the $39 Fleece Heart Sweater omits those tailored details in favor of a straight fit and a sherpa heart, defining a clear “good” tier within the brand where you trade precision and origin prestige for a $10 lower entry point and playful character.
- Chicwish's heart-patch sweatshirt, a poly-cotton (65% polyester, 35% cotton) concept, retails at $42.90 USD (roughly $60 CAD) — about 50% pricier than the Twik — yet the Twik substitutes a more elegant viscose-blend fine knit for the sweatshirt fleece, making it both cheaper and dressier.
How the viscose blend feels and performs
- Viscose's inherent moisture regain of 11–13% gives this sweater a breathable, cool-to-the-touch feel that outperforms all-synthetic knits in transitional weather, making it more comfortable against the skin during fall layering or spring standalone wear.
- With exactly half the fiber content as viscose, this sweater prioritizes a silky, fluid drape and breathability, while the equal combined share of polyester and nylon adds wrinkle resistance and strength — a deliberate spec that makes the knit feel smooth and polished without sacrificing shape stability.
- The nylon component specifically counteracts viscose's tendency to bag out at elbows and cuffs, while polyester adds overall stability — together they help the ribbed hem and cuffs maintain their shape after wearing, reducing the droop that plagues 100% viscose knits.
- Blauer's women's turtleneck in the exact same 50% viscose, 28% polyester, 22% nylon fabric is explicitly tagged soft and comfortable fabric, validating that this blend is engineered for a plush, next-to-skin feel rather than a scratchy or overly slick hand.

Cœur mal situé!
Le chandail a une super coupe mais le cœur est pratiquement situé sous le bras, bien dommage! Je le retourne!
Très jolie
Je l'adore il est vraiment magnifique, la taille est juste parfaite !
Nice sweater
Colours are sand and blue, fabric is very nice, the only issue is sleeves are a bit shorter than usual. Overall like this sweater.
Le design
J'ai beaucoup aimé le chandail avec le coeur. Je l'ai gardé pour ça mais le beige (au lieu du blanc) me fait moins bien au teint.
Perfect spring sweater
Very cute sweater and fits well (5'4", 135lbs) Nice material, drapes well and the heart adds a that little pop of colour to make take a great basic striped sweater up a notch.

It's so cute and soft!
I got the navy stripe and the grey stripe sweaters. They are very comfortable, soft and cozy. Perfect for the early spring/fall weather. Plus the ❤️ applique makes it super cute.
Une seule taille
Joli, confortable , mais la taille unique est petite . Manches trop courtes dans mon cas .
SWEATER
I ORDER THE SWEATER IN WHITE AND BLACK LIKE THE PICTURE SHOWED ON-LINE. IT CAME NAVY AND BEIGE
Love this sweater!
I love marine stripes, and the heart is an extra bump of amazing. Note that the “white” stripe is more oatmeal than white, but I love that. Also, even though it’s one size, I’d say it’s a medium - small fit.
Cute & Nice - fits small
Cute sweater, well made for the price. Expected it to be a bit bigger as a one size item. Fit me snugly and I’m size 4.
«Cœur fortable »
Tricot léger, confortable et tendance!
Manches
Les manches sont faites courtes mais le tissu est confortable et la coupe est pas si droite que décrite.
J’adore
Confortable et encore plus beau en vrai
ce n'est pas la couleur demandée
J'ai demandé blanc et noir et j'ai reçu beige et noir ou brun, je ne l'ai pas retourné, je suis à mobilité réduite et c'est difficile pour moi, de me rendre à la poste. C'est la 1ere fois que je ne reçois pas , l'article demandé. Je l'ai donné à une amie, mais je suis déçue.
Confortable
Tricot dense qui se tient bien.

Très confirtable
Super!
Très confortable, belle qualité, vraiment parfait avec un petit pop de couleur grâce au cœur en mouton. Je redoutais la taille onesize mais finalement, très bien. Mon préféré du moment!
Chandail
Très beau et belle qualité
Beau mais mauvaise coupe
Le haut du chandail est fait large alors que la taille est très ajusté ce qui accentu le ventre. Si vous êtes ronde un peu, il ne donne pas une silhouette avantageuse. Il faut être mince et sans forme pour le porter sans complexe.
Nice quality, compliments every time
Nice quality, compliments every time I wear it! Sleeves are a bit short for me but it looks cute scrunched up anyways.
Qualité incroyable
Ce chandail a une belle finition. Une qualité de tissus incroyable.
Très jolie
Et confortable !
Fun Sweater
Lovely shade of green and light beige striped sweater for hanging around in. The heart design is placed quite far over. It’s very roomy, will be able to wear a Tshirt or something underneath.
Parfait
Je suis très ravie de porter ce chandail. J’adore .
Chandail très confortable
Super beau et confontable
Disappointed there’s only one size
For reference, I typically wear a size M or size up to a L for a looser fit. This sweater is very soft and well made, but was way too tight for my liking. It would be best for someone who typically wears a small. Also, the online photo shows the stripes as navy and white, but in person the white is actually more of an oatmeal/beige.
Super belle qualité

Q&A
4 answered- What is the recommended care method? Can it be machine washed and dried without shrinking?
- Based on the material (50% viscose, 28% polyester, 22% nylon), we recommend hand washing in cold water and laying flat to dry to avoid shrinking. Machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water is possible, but we suggest avoiding the dryer as viscose blends can shrink with heat.
- How thick and warm is the fleece? Is it suitable for fall layering or standalone winter wear?
- The sweater is primarily a fine stretch knit (50% viscose, 28% polyester, 22% nylon) rather than a thick fleece — the sherpa fleece is a heart-shaped accent. It's lightweight and best suited for fall layering over a long-sleeve top; it won't provide enough warmth for standalone winter wear in cold climates.
- Are the hearts printed on or made of a separate sherpa fleece patch? Do they match the photos?
- The hearts are made of a separate sherpa fleece patch, not printed. The product description and features list a "Sherpa fleece heart" along with a fine stretch knit body, so the textured patch matches the photos shown.
- Does the sweater pill easily due to the viscose-polyester blend?
- The 50% viscose content can contribute to pilling over time, but the 28% polyester and 22% nylon in the blend add durability and help reduce pilling compared to a pure viscose knit. We recommend gentle washing (cold water, lay flat to dry) to extend the sweater's appearance.
