I got this sweater in the dark gray. Truly, I love it so much. Beautiful and so soft. My only complaint is how tall the neck is. Look closely at the model photos of the gray version and you will see how high it is. I'm 6'0" tall and the neckline on this comes up higher than my earlobes on the sides ...and halfway up my chin in the front. Much too high if you're not wearing it in a blizzard or skiing. It also looks really odd if you fold it down like a typical turtleneck. If you fold it to the inside, you can kind of adjust the height and it makes it look like a mock neck. This is my solution and I am satisfied enough with it that I won't return it. The sleeves are incredibly long as well, but I love that because I'm tall and sleeves are usually too short. Just be forewarned that this may be a crazy fit if you're average or petite.
I took a chance on this sweater because I love charcoal grey and cable knits. I'm 5ft7" and 135 lbs. I ordered a S. Here's my experience. As some of the other writers mentioned, the neck is quite high. I didn't mind that. I have a long neck and I felt it would be nice and warm but... the sweater was...n't as long as I'd hoped and not as long as it appeared in the images. It was also a bit tight. The sweater has wide sleeves merging into a wider body - almost like a 'bat sleeve' style. With the thickness of the sweater and the tightness of the band, it made the sides stick out like a misplaced flange. One reviewer said she looked like a pumpkin but I would say 'manta ray' is more accurate. The design is all wrong for the fabric - it was a terrible miss and disappointing. I returned it. There are far more flattering sweaters out there for the discerning buyer. Skip this one.

The sweater is beautiful extremely soft and warm…The design of the sweater is simply genius…However, for the price of the sweater it should not start piling the moment you put it on…I only wore it once and the entire time I'm picking the pills off..

I am fully addicted to a lot of Banana Republic women's sweaters and coats for me this year. I bought this sweater first in charcoal, and loved it so much I bought the cream as well. The sweater is perfectly oversized, and the material is warm and soft. I personally do not find it itchy at all. I love the sleeves and neck - it gives the sweater a feminine touch without looking too extreme.

Gorgeous sweater only reason I am not giving it a 5 star is the neck did not stay as rigid after wearing as I would have liked.

BR must do better shipping their products. I paid $200+ for a crème sweater that was just thrown into a packaging bag with no second layer of protection for the garment. This makes me think twice about purchasing BR online.

Great shape, and the long sleeves give an elevated look. However if you are petite, it might overwhelm you. I wish the fabric didn't pill as easy.

Love this cozy, oversized sweater. Dress it up with a skirt and boots or dress it down with cozy sweatpants or jeans, it's perfect for winter. Beautiful mixed stitch pattern in a soft merino blend make this the modern sweater you need for the cold winter months.

I've been living in this sweater since I got it. It's the first one I reach for when getting dressed and being in New England, I need a good sweater for the winter here. I purchased a small (my usual size) and it's big, though the fabric drapes well and gives that perfect oversized look they're going for. The collar is high and I love that it covers my nose and mouth while I'm outside. It's a 10/10 for me!
