From reviewers:

~ "This is a very versatile piece, since it has both gold and silver stripes - can be worn with gold or silver accessories. Lightweight knit, so it will span many seasons. Love the snaps, instead of buttons too! Great addition to any wardrobe! This is an absolute must buy!!"

~ "This sweater was actually a wonderful surprise AFTER I purchased! It looked great hanging in the store, but fit even better once I wore it! Color tones are perfect for sooo many outfits. Dressed it up and dressed it down and each time I looked put together. Very soft and just the right amount of shimmer added to this sweater. Wonderful wardrobe staple, I love it!!!"

~ "I like the way the stripes are variegated in width and thinner around the hips. It fits comfortably, maybe a little looser than most sweaters, but this is fine for a longer style that needs to go over the wider hips without pulling too much. I have worn this with black leggings and flats and will wear it with black slacks or a skirt to work. Will also look great with khaki bottoms as the weather warms up. The knit is a bit thin/silky and I can see that it might catch on things, especially necklaces. Just be careful."

~ "I was reluctant to try this sweater on because of the horizontal stripes, but it's so pretty and looks nice belted or unbelted! I love the snaps, much easier to close than tiny buttons. I have many WHBM cardigans but this is my first longer version, and I will buy more. I love the silver and soft-gold stripes that break up the black and white and the touches of gold that rim the buttons. It's lightweight and comfortable."

Fabric: Rayon/Metallic sweater knit.

This cardi is brand new with tags, in its original cellophane (only removed to measure). The decorative gold/white front part of the top snap is missing. Be creative and you can make it look great - maybe a pretty pin/brooch over that spot. The neutral colors and lightweight knit are perfect for spring through fall, and it will coordinate with nearly everything in your closet. It's sure to become a go-to piece in your wardrobe!
