Long live the crop sweater! They look great layered over longer button up shirts (my closet staple) and their shorter length can be a flattering fit on petites (and fit like a “regular” sweater if it’s long enough). I really like the stripes on this one (25% off right now at Shopbop, or it’s also at Club Monaco in this stripe, or black and white solids), as I tend to gravitate toward stripe patterns that either begin a little below the neckline, or aren’t cut off by a contrast neckline. I feel it makes it look more like an authentic breton stripe that way, as opposed to just another stripe top.
On top of being cropped, fitted, and chicly striped, I also like the fabric content on this one. Mostly wool, it’s really soft to the touch and is blended with just enough nylon/elastane to give it some stretch and help keep it’s shape. Two tiny side slits at the bottom hem give it some added interest.

Thanks Liv! If you want a stripe one, I’d highly recommend this one. Otherwise, my other favorite is one I found at Aritzia by Sunday Best (100% wool). It seems to be gone online, but you might be able to find some in stores on sale. =)
Very nice ensemble! I like how u put together shirt with the striped sweater
Thank you, Minau!
The stripe crop sweater looks really chic layered over the shirt! Love the play of stripe with grid prints too, cool!
