Product Insights
The Contemporaine Soft Two-Tone Stripe Sweater ($39.95) marries sustainable materials with proven durability, using 50% LENZING ECOVERO viscose — the first viscose with EU Ecolabel, OEKO-TEX, and biodegradable certifications — while competitors at the same price often rely on acrylic-heavy blends. Backed by Simons, Canada's oldest family-owned department store since 1840, this exclusive label offers fluid viscose drape that skims the body and layers easily, plus a polyester-nylon blend for wrinkle resistance, quick drying, and shape retention from ribbed edging. The key tradeoff: order one size up for a relaxed drape or stick to your usual size for a close fit.

Office-to-weekend styling
Reviewers describe this as an easy work-to-weekend sweater: its tailored fit and refined stripes pair with high-waisted trousers for a polished office look, or with jeans for casual outings, reportedly without losing shape. Note that the cut runs smaller than the relaxed look in product photos, and tall or long-torso shoppers report the shortened hem can sit above the hip unless they size up.[1]
All-day lounging and layering in a soft, non-itchy knit
Reviewers describe this sweater's knit as buttery-soft and non-itchy, comfortable enough to wear against skin without a base layer from morning coffee to evening couch time. It's also reported to work as a light layering piece for transitional weather — light under a coat in spring yet warm on cool fall days — without that too-hot-indoors feeling. Comfort feedback comes from a synthesis of customer reviews, so individual experiences may vary.[1]
Spring layering under a trench
Per customer reviews, this sweater is light and breathable enough to layer under a trench coat in spring. Reviewers also describe it as cozy without that too-hot-indoors feeling, so it can work as a standalone top on cooler days as the season shifts.[1]
A standalone sweater for cool fall days
Wear this two-tone stripe sweater on its own when autumn temperatures drop. Reviewers describe it as light yet cozy — substantial enough for crisp fall days without feeling too hot indoors.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Soft Two-Tone Stripe Sweater: Choose this if you want an ultra-soft, non-itchy striped crewneck in a LENZING ECOVERO viscose blend that reviewers report works both for polished office looks and comfortable all-day lounging. Its sizing skews short and slim, so petite frames reportedly fit well off the rack, while shoppers over 5 feet 5 inches may want to size up to avoid a cropped fit. Note that the warm white stripe may not match true white and in-person shades can differ from screen images.[1] | Striped Soft Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft, lightweight layer for fall or spring days that call for something other than a heavy knit: it is a relaxed-fit, long-sleeve crew neck with horizontal wide black and narrower off-white stripes, ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, made of 50% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, 28% polyester and 22% nylon in a stretch knit. Summarized customer reviews report it fits true to size, hangs nicely thanks to material that is not too thick, and feels gentle on skin, with one review summary noting it was considered suitable for people with wool allergies. It comes in five colors (Black, Grey, Hazelnut, Indigo/Dark Blue, and Mauve) across sizes X-Small through X-Large.[2,3] | Patterned Soft Boxy-Fit Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft, stretchy knit with a boxy, slightly cropped short-sleeve silhouette, a crew neckline, and ribbed trims at the neck, cuffs, and hem. It features an all-over small floral print in pink, blue, and green over a light cream base, in 100% polyester. Note it is offered only in one size across its Patterned White, Patterned Brown, and Patterned Blue variants, and its cropped hem sits above the waist as shown on the model.[4,5,6,7] |

So soft
This sweater is really nice. It is super soft and cozy. I only too a star off as in the pic it looks more taupe and in person it is more of a lighter grey. Also in the pic it looks like it would be oversized but I did not find it is. Well priced and worth it!

Lovely sweater
The sweater is nice and made of quality material. It looks great on and the perfect size (L). It makes a great spring sweater nice neutral colours so it goes with everything. Can be casual but stylish.
Soft and classic, maybe size up
Lovely classic striped sweater. The get colour has a little taupey richness to it -- gorgeous. Fit is a little small, I usually wear a medium and this sweater just fits with a cami underneath. Size up if you want to fit a collared shirt underneath.

Magnifique est super doux! Il est vraiment beau. Je croyais, par contre, qu’il serait plus grège mais bon. Aussi, j’aurais du commander une grandeur de plus car sans être trop petit, si j’avais pris une grandeur de plus, j’aurais eu le look que je voulais

Sweatshirt
It’s is comfy and soft I bought extra small and I love the fit I didn’t want it oversized. . I’m 5 ft 1 and 110lbs
Soft, pretty sweater
This sweater is very soft on and the colors are lovely. I wouldn't have thought crimson goes with light blue but it proves to be a very striking contrast. I took one star off as I think it could be an inch or two longer.
Tissu de grande qualité
Je croyais que la couleur était plus vert la couleur café au lait, mais c'est vraiment gris. La photo porte à confusion sur la couleur. Malgré qu'il était écrit gris, cela donne un ton gris brun café au lait

Nice sweater
I really liked the sweater, but I exchanged it for the gray stripe. I found the colours to be rather drab. The light stripe is beigey and the yellow is mustardy. However, I really like the weight of the sweater. It’s nice to find a sweater that has some weight and not thin and see-through. Also, I normally take mediums in sweaters, but in this I had to go up to a large and it is not at all oversized on me. It fits just right.
parfait

Nice Sweater
I was looking for a lightweight sweater that I could layer when travelling. This sweater is a bit too heavy to be a packable garment. Also it fit a bit too baggy in the back for me. I liked that the shoulders of the sleeves fit on the shoulders, not halfway down the arms, like many of the boxier fit sweaters. Overall a nice sweater.

Bit too short of a fit, needed to be 2 inches longer
I am 5'4" and 126 lbs. Bought a medium bc i wanted it a bit loose but it was too short. I would like to see a cotton/polyester blend so it washes well.
Wow
