I purchased this item in white which actually turned out to be not very white. The color is more of a sweet ivory which makes it feel warmer. The fit of the sweater is fine, I love the long sleeves and the fact that it is a perfect match for high-waisted jeans and skirts. It is a versatile item that can work with a lot of pieces and it will definitely complement your wardrobe, regardless of the actual style you prefer in your daily life. I personally am very happy with my purchase and can't wait to get another one in cherry red once it gets restocked!!!
