Lightweight merino wool tunic sweater

I have this in the haven blue. You have to be prepared for the fit. It's very boxy but, the movement and drape of the merino makes up for the shapeless form. Great with leggings or Minnie pants. J. Crew has one of the best merino lines.

So soft and comfortable. Very flattering tunic style, bought it in 2 colors. Runs a little big and I chose the smaller of my 2 J. Crew sizes.

I was excited about the concept of this sweater and tried on a few different colors (neon yellow, lavender, and blue). First off, this sweater is very swingy, so the torso runs large while the arms feel normal. I would have considered sizing down from my usual XXS in J.Crew tops/sweaters, but that wasn't an option. I ended up keeping the blue one in XXS but do wish the body was slightly less billowy. I agree with other reviewers that the lighter colors are pretty sheer. The neon yellow was completely see-through, while the lavender was only semi-sheer. The blue was opaque though. Other pet peeves include how easily the material pills and how high the side slits go. So far I've only worn the blue one once and I was just sitting at my desk all day, but it already has a bunch of little fuzz balls.

I love the color, fabric, and fit of this sweater until you get to the huge side slits. I am 5'8" 125# 34A and the S fits very well. I often size down to XS and JC but this would have been too small in an XS. The problem with this tunic is the slits go clear up to my actual waist so it looks more like a poncho, and flaps around. In the yellow you can see the seam of the sweater crossing over inside the slits about 2" and I am not a fan of this design. Also, because it is thin and light, the color you are wearing at the waist shows through. Final Sale so no return.

This is such a sleeper item, great fit and flow. So sophisticated and timeless. Not frumpy, not too long and NOT ever going out of style. PLEASE bring this back exactly AS IS with long sleeves. As other customers have raved, we will buy multiples. I got 3 colors in the store and nabbed another 3 on sale online.

The blue color is vibrant and the material is quite soft. Looks cute with skinny jeans or the Minnie pant!
