Soft like butter

8 months ago
I am so happy with this purchase. I’m even happier I trusted my gut and ordered a size down as it does run oversized. I live in a place where its still really hot and will be for a the rest of the year so I’m excited to get some use out of this and still feel like I’m somewhere cold. It’s very soft and cozy feeling. I definitely understsnd why it went viral on TT.

Yes, I recommend this product.

The best short sleeve cardigan and you can’t beat the price! The grey color is such a pretty look for the fall! Runs TTS, so recommend sizing up for an oversized fit. Usually a S, but got a M.

AWESOME …. Always pop Into Aerie for items like this …. Sooooooo soft & warm!! Runs only slightly big in a piece like this I would normally purchase a medium however medium fit but slightly loose then I tried small … perfect either buttoned up or over sleeveless tank .. bought 3 colors .. a STAPLE piece …. The pink is a little more on a muted slight peach …. Because it’s muted color I can wear normally do not trend to this color if that helps I am 5’2 130#

these sweaters are so fun to pair w all pants. i love the look of them with the barrel sweat pants for a cute casual look. but, can spruce it up with jeans! i try to refrain from washing this as much as possible bc of the fabric.

Looks yellow in photos but is more of a cream. Was hoping for a light yellow. Seems cozy. A little oversized but got my normal size small. If an xs was available I wouldn’t gotten that. Seems it may wash poorly but hoping not. Got it on sale. #AEReviewSweepsEntry

Not oversized like usual aerie clothing

I usually find most aerie clothes fit oversized, so I tend to size down. This fits true to size. Unfortunately i had to return it and now the bigger size is sold out everywhere.

Soft and cozy sweater

2 months ago
Super soft and cozy sweater. I love the short sleeves because I don't get overheated and they end at the perfect stop. Couple of drawbacks are that it is a special fabric and suggests doing very few washes, and the pilling that happens after a few wears. I have this sweater in a small and medium and the only change in fit is that the sweater is just a bit wider, not longer at all so I would be weary with a longer torso. #AEReviewSweepsEntry

almost perfect

I ordered L so it wasn’t cropped but the sizing ended up being a little off. It’s a little shorter than I wanted it and the sleeves are oddly long. It’s very soft and comfy - not itchy at all. But if you’re okay with shorter torso I would not suggest sizing up.

So cute and soft, but inconsistent fit

8 months ago
I ordered the off white and the yellow in Size Small (my normal size). First of all, the yellow is a beautiful lemon yellow. I have seen different pictures of it online and it looked completely different— sometimes Crayola yellow, sometimes buttery yellow, sometimes almost neon— so I was nervous. These sweaters are so soft and cute however the sizing is very inconsistent. The off white is shorter and wider than the yellow even though they are both Small. I could have sized down to XS in both but in the off white it would have been a pretty cropped fit so I decided to keep both. Try on first if you are able to get to a store, but definitely a versatile piece!

honest opinion

there are things i love and things i didnt expect. 1. so cute and trendy for transition seasons 2. so soft and can style up or down 3. a few people said thaf it was “oversized” aerie usually runs big, so i ordered my normal size large becuase i wanted it oversized. to my suprise, it fits like a true large. still cute but definitly not oversized and cant size up since all the XL are sold out of each color. p.s. aerie please make these in like emerald green or a royal blue, would be beautiful!!!

Yes, I recommend this product.
