Is this sweater warm enough for winter?

No. It is a light polyester knit with an open front, so it works as a layer in mild weather. In cold months you would wear it over a long-sleeve top or under a coat.

How does the lantern sleeve fit?

The sleeves are cut full and gathered toward the cuff, so they balloon around the forearm. They add volume at the wrist, which can interfere with tight jacket cuffs.

Does it have buttons or a zipper?

No. It is front-open with no closure, so it hangs open like a cardigan. You would hold it closed by hand or pin it if you want a closed look.

How should I care for the fluffy texture?

Hand wash or use a gentle cycle in cold water and lay flat to dry. Skip the dryer and fabric shaver until you check for pilling, since the fluffy knit can mat.

Does it run true to size?

It is listed as a regular fit, but the open front and full sleeves make the silhouette loose. Shoppers who want a closer fit should consider sizing down.
