It's hard to tell what black clothing looks like from photos, but since it was a Vince product, I knew the details would be simple and tasteful and the fabric would be high quality. This sweater did not disappoint. It's described as a cropped wrap sweater and thank god it ended up being just that, but in a thick, soft cashmere fabric. Although I usually wear a size small (I'm 5'-5", 120lbs), I have a long torso, so I went with a medium size and it was perfect for what I wanted; slightly loose and below my beltline. This sweater is a more stylish, alternative to the basic cashmere or wool v-neck sweater. The "wrap" is secured to one side and does not open much, and therefore you don't need to wear a tank top underneath it or secure it with a safety pin. Love it.
