Lately, I’ve fallen madly in love with the collared quad-zip sweaters for autumn, like every style enthusiast who frequents TikTok. And while plenty of chic styles have caught my eye (especially the various neutral shades with cable knit designs), I’ve resisted splurging on just the bank account. your goods. But on a recent trip to my local Target, I came across A new day four quarter sweaters for women ($28, originally $35) and immediately knew it had to come home to me. You see, I love the neutral trend just as much, I’m also obsessed with this deep blue, and now that it’s officially snowing where I live (yes, really), I am in dire need of some more optimistic colors in my life. Verdict: I was sold. Check out my honest review of the cozy front silhouette.
What I like about this sweater
I love this sweater because it’s both cozy and chic. It’s handcrafted with a thick knit cable that’s just the right size to keep me from overheating while wearing it indoors (often, by the way). I’ve paired it with leggings for working from home, but it can also be worn with a pair of trousers and boots, as demonstrated below. By far my favorite detail is the statement collar which, IMO, makes it look a lot more expensive than it really is.
What’s worth noting about this sweater
My only complaint is that, after a week of wearing, I noticed that this sweater is covered in tiny glossy threads that make it look like I’ve owned it for much longer. Honestly, it hasn’t bothered me yet, especially since that hasn’t taken away from its coziness or trend, and it’s not too noticeable unless you get up close. But I’m not the only one who knows this. Another shopper had a similar experience: “Wanted to love this product, the color and design were perfect but it broke instantly,” they wrote in a review in which they said: it’s two stars. “I’ve only worn it twice but it looks like it’s been through the washer/dryer multiple times.”
Who is this sweater best suited for?
This half-zip look is best for those who want to stay ahead of the turtleneck trend without having to make a big financial investment. If you can see past the potentially inevitable clumping, I think you’ll like it as much as I do for both sunglasses and workwear.
Additional details
- It comes in sizes XS-4X.
- It also comes in cream form, but it’s currently sold out in sizes XS-XXL.
- It’s safe for washing, but the brand recommends laying it flat or hanging it up to dry.
