opinions needed on this sweater?

tri_sarah_tops · Marc Jacobs

It's okay. I like the color but not sure about the fit - it looks like it has potential to be a bit boxy. Material and price?

pollyjean23 · Marc Jacobs

I think it's really pretty, and it's so fun that it is in that striking color.

alb · Marc Jacobs

cute, i like it. i'm biased though b/c i have almost the extact same sweater - it's a cashmere v-neck in the same color without the texture. i'll try to find it on their website. i wear it all the time - even yesterday actually. the color really pops and goes with a lot.

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

I like the color but it looks a little short to me.

Suasoria · Chanel

I also like the color but that's about it. The torso and sleeves are too short, the v-neck is unsexy, and the cables add bulk and width to a style that's already too boxy.

ITA. It is a gorgeous color but you can do so much better

Boots · Gucci

Agree. Great color, but as a general rule if it looks unflattering on a model, I assume it's not going to look great on me. I think you can find something similar in color but with a better cut.

I have this cardigan and it's a nice bright pink in real life. It's cashmere and only $59.95 right now (and I think there's a code out there too.) The scoopneck is also cashmere and $49.95.

Seconded! The J. Crew one is a bit short and looks boxy to me, too. If you can go try it on first, I'd do that.

I think it looks pretty short in the torso and with the 3/4 sleeves it might look too shrunken.
