This sweater is soft, not too thick at all, and flattering. It's a perfect addition to my fall/winter clothing. You can dress it up or down. I'm very happy with it. I actually liked it so much, I bought two in different colors. I got the XL. I'm 5'7" and 185 lbs. It doesn't cling to my problem areas, which can be hard to find in a sweater without looking like you're being swallowed in too much baggy fabric. The fit is just right.
