If, like me, you are often so cold in your office you can't feel your fingers, yes, it works
I bought this to be warm. The sleeves are long so I can easily turtle my hands in and the length is perfect for putting over my lap when I'm sitting at my desk.
Get this sweater. Just maybe take it off before you go into a meeting.

I love this sweater and use it as my current go to for when I sit outside at night because it’s so warm and comfy. It’s a little bigger than I had expected, I got a medium and I am 5'4 140lbs. It’s unexpectedly thick, which makes it very warm and useable in place of a light jacket for fall. So far I am very happy with my purchase.

This is Such a great cardigan!
I got the Ivory and it is a Gorgeous color!! The fit is exactly like the picture. I'm 5'6", 38 DDD, and wear a L and wear a L/XL or 12/14...I bought the Large and it was perfectly oversized.
I could have even done a Medium for a more true-to-size fit, but the idea of this style is oversized. Highly recommend this color, have received many compliments and one friend is buying it too.
