Classic styling and timeless pinstripes in comfy, natural fiber are a hit for working at home—and beyond. This midweight, saddle shoulder pullover or cardigan in twelve sizes (XXS to L and 1X to 7X) will be a favorite for women and teen girls. Worked in portable pieces from hem to neck with V-neck or crew neck option, it is finished with seams and applied neck and button bands for a stable fit and durable, lasting shape.
