Although there were plenty of sweater options available at my local store, I couldn’t find any crew-neck styles. So, I went with a similar V-neck option and brought the SoSoft V-neck sweater in a warm-beige colorway to the fitting room.
I didn’t love how this sweater fit me.
The material — made of 53% cotton, 24% recycled polyester, 20% nylon, and 3% spandex — felt comfortable and warm. I noticed it had a very similar fabric makeup as the Gap sweater, but at a lower, $40 price tag.
However, in my opinion, the fit and construction of the Old Navy option didn’t stand up to the others. It looked shapeless and boxy on my body, and the hemline seemed flimsy. I did like the thicker rib detailing, but overall, this sweater just didn’t excite me.
This option was my least favorite of the three I tried on, but it’s still a decent and affordable choice.
Overall, the option from Banana Republic was my favorite.
Overall, the Banana Republic sweater won me over, by far. The fabric was soft and comfortable, and I could see myself wearing this one for many years to come.
Honestly, I want one in every color.
