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.

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 5,000 reviewers have beaten me to the punch, calling it "soft and stylish" and a "cute sweater for fall or winter."
Pros ????
The Kirundo transcends generations. Many moms and grandmothers said they bought it for themselves, but it turned out to be "a big hit with teenage girls." This reviewer even learned styling lessons from her girls. "My granddaughters loved these sweaters from the first look they had of them. One wore hers tucked into her jeans, and the other wore hers outside of her jeans."

"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 on 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... Great vibrant colors, just as pictured. When I wear this, I get several compliments! Not itchy; it is perfect."
Cons ????
Some shoppers had trouble finding the right size to get a slouchy fit, so check the size chart and go bigger if you want a looser look. "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."

Even though it's a little pricier, this fun bright pink color might convince the flowers to start blooming sooner rather than later. Plus, it's still under $40.
