Is this sweater warm enough for winter?

It is a light-to-midweight knit, best as a layer. On its own it suits mild days; in deep cold, wear it under a jacket or over a tee.

How does the plus fit run?

Owners generally report it runs true to the size chart, with a relaxed cut through the body. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down.

The acrylic-blend knit can pill, especially under arms and where bags rub. Wash inside out on cold and air dry to slow it down.

How should I care for it?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry. Skip the dryer, which can stretch the knit and set pills.

What colors and sizes are available?

It comes in a range of solid colors in plus sizes. Check the size and color options on the product page before ordering.

Can it be worn to the office?

Yes. The plain crew neck layers well under a blazer or cardigan, which makes it a simple business-casual basic.

Our take on the St. John's Bay Plus Women's Crew Neck Long Sleeve Pullover Sweater

This is a plus-size, long-sleeve crew neck pullover from JCPenney's in-house St. John's Bay line, a wardrobe-basics label known for everyday knits at low cost. It is a plain, solid pullover meant for layering or wearing alone, with a classic crew neckline and ribbed trim. It suits shoppers who want an inexpensive, easy-care sweater in extended sizes rather than a fashion statement. Against pricier department-store knits it trades fine yarns and detailing for value and broad size availability; reviewers of the line generally find it soft and true to size but note that the knit is thin and can pill with wear.
