Sweater weather is sticking around for another six weeks, and we're not mad at that. We love a cozy, chunky piece — especially if it has a flattering shape and a nice drape. I happened to find one that fits the bill, and I cannot wait to find the perfect boots to complement my latest score. It's the Kirundo Striped Sweater — it has a loose knit that flows right over my figure, hiding my jiggly arms and belly pooch, and it comes in the cutest striped colors. Plus, it's on sale for as little as $15.

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 let one shoulder hang off for a youthful touch. Don't love your upper arms? You're in luck — baggy sleeves are on trend this season.
And look at all these mood-brightening colors! This top comes in a variety of wide-striped hues, including rust and white (so autumnal), rainbow and burgundy and black — prices vary depending on selection. There are 18 to choose from in sizes small to extra-large. Trust me, your new fall wardrobe favorite is here: It's undeniably wearable, and it’s about to be my cool-weather secret weapon.
This gorgeous sweater comes in so many fun color combos, you'll want one for each day of the week. (Amazon)
What reviewers say ????
I can go on and on about how this standout knit pullover is the best fashion 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."
Pros ????
The Kirundo Striped Sweater transcends generations. Many moms and grandmothers said they bought the sweater for themselves, but it also turned out to be "a big hit with teenage girls." This reviewer said she learned styling lessons from her girls too. "Super cute. Teen daughter reinventing her style and I order this on my own accord. I thought if she didn’t like it I’d keep it for myself. Well (unfortunately for me) she loved it.."

"My daughter stole it!" joked another shopper. "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."
"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."
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 up a size 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."
