Why do I need this?

The Kirundo Striped Sweater is made of a comfy acrylic fabric that manages to be soft yet never itchy. It’ll become the easiest thing in your closet to pull on when you’ve got to run out the door and your tired, old sweatshirt isn’t cutting it. It’s also the ideal piece for dinners out.

And look at all these mood-brightening colors! This top comes in wide-striped color options like orange/black/white (SO autumnal!), a rainbow of blue/red/yellow on a black background and a red/rust/gray/pink combo on white. And these are just my favorites. There are 18 in total to choose from, and sizes range from small to extra large. Trust me, your new winter wardrobe favorite is here.

This statement piece says, “I am fully embracing the colder months and I am going to look fabulous doing so.” At just $24, you won’t have a single regret ordering this stand-by sweater, and you’ll be thankful you did the next time you have “nothing to wear.” It's undeniably wearable under any circumstance, and it’s about to be my cool weather secret weapon.

What reviewers say

Pros 👍

I can go on and on about how this standout knit is the best cool-weather find on Amazon right now, but more than 5,500 reviewers have beaten me to the punch, calling it “soft and stylish” and the “perfect sweater for fall.”

One of the most unique things about the Kirundo Striped Sweater is that it transcends generations. Many moms and grandmothers wrote to say they bought the sweater for themselves because it was delightfully loose yet structured, but that it also turned out to be "a big hit with teenage girls." One reviewer added that she learned styling lessons from her girls too. “My teenage granddaughters loved these sweaters from the first look they had of them. One wore her sweater tucked into her jeans, and the other wore hers outside of her jeans.”

“My daughter stole it!” joked another shopper who had to struggle to get it back. “Yesterday, my daughter (16) had an interview and decided that this sweater was going to be part of her interview ensemble. ... It looked wonderful on her. ... After the interview (she got the job), her friend came over and told her she looked super-cute. She then left to sleep at her friend's house and didn't leave me MY sweater.”

That's right; this sweater is a hit with the over-40 set too. You can use it to punch up a pair of jeans or stretchy slacks and corduroys: Slimmer bottoms balance out the shape, and if you size up, you can choose to let one shoulder hang off for a youthful touch. Don’t love your upper arms? You’re in luck — baggy sleeves are totally on-trend this season.

"I ordered this shirt based off of other reviewers, and boy were they telling the truth! This sweater is AMAZING!" swooned a happy customer. "By the later end of the day, sometimes my tummy area may be slightly bloated. But have no fear! This sweater hides it all, without looking large or small. Great vibrant colors, just as pictured. When I wear this, I get several compliments! Not itchy; it is perfect. The only thing I might add is that it does not fall off the shoulder — I am guessing you would have to size up even more to have the off-the-shoulder look."

Cons 👎

Some shoppers noted they had some trouble finding the right size to get the slouchy fit. So we recommend checking the size chart and going a size up than you usually wear if you want it to be looser. "Cute and wish I would have sized up. Expected it to be more slouchy," one said.

Another wrote, "This is a cute sweater. If you want the look on the model though, size up. I just got my normal size and the sleeves are a little short, but otherwise it fits well and is really cute with jeans."
