RUMIA Womens Crew Neck Sweatshirt Review Leave a comment

It’s an essential item for those who want to wear a pullover for casual wear, whether at school, the office or the gym, without even thinking twice – if it’s solid colored and perfect for a casual ensemble, RUMIA Womens Crew Neck Sweatshirt must-have. Simple crew neck and long sleeves, and described as “light and soft”. The sizing is the major drawback – you’ll need to use the chart – the fit is referred to as relaxed and not the tailored size.

Ideal for: Women who are looking for one easy-to-wear sweater for errands, class and home.

Not for: those who want an organized, fitted piece of clothes for a fancy occasion.

Pros:

• Gentle on your skin: Lightweight, soft cloth listed in the listing
• Relaxed fit, long sleeves and classic crew neck
• The solid color pullover can be paired with leggings, shorts, skirts or jeans.
• Indicated for school, office, gym or lounging at home.
• S – 2XL size is available

Cons:

• Fit should be loose, not tight; relaxed not tailored.

What is this Sweatshirt to make everyone buy it?

For a plain pullover like this, the decision comes down to three things: how the fabric behaves, how the relaxed cut sits on you, and how far the size range actually reaches.

The fabric is described as lightweight and soft

It suits someone who wants a lightweight layer for school, the office, the gym or home.

What this means is that the cut is laid off and the entire risk

RUMIA describes it as a relaxed fit, and classifies it as a classic solid_color pullover with a crew neckline and long sleeves. A relaxed fit is not tight around the body, and can be worn over a t-shirt and does not fit snugly under the arms and at the bottom of the back.

Such a good relief to long days. The compromise is in shape; a casual top can feel tight if it is not, so if you’re accustomed to having a tight top to fit your figure, it will feel loose. This type of cut is not for those wishing for a closer cut and more defined silhouette, rather it is more suited to a fitted knit.

The size range refers to the majority of women (if you read the chart)

RUMIA gives a clear size ladder: S for US 4-6, M for US 8-10, L for US 12-14, XL for US 16-18 and 2XL for US 20-22. The listing also indicates that you should look at the size chart and product description for more details, which is a good idea as relaxed cuts from different brands don’t fit the same. The chart is designed to assist the user to select the appropriate size when between sizes when the listing specifies a looser fit.

What is in the box and What you will still need

No it is not specifically mentioned in the listing what will be included – assume it by the specification. This is a single big sleeve crewneck pullover in a solid color in the size you choose from the chart. No mention of a second piece – the bottom piece, or any accessory – so expect this to be just a top – not a whole outfit.

This requires that you still have to have your own behind, though. These jeans are listed as a piece to fit into an existing wardrobe, as opposed to replacing it; shorts, leggings and skirts are included. For cold weather, you’ll need the usual layers and you’ll want to ensure that the fabric is lightweight.

When purchased separately, it achieves all that it promises: One smooth and soft top that you can use all day long and everywhere you go – from school to work, gym to home. If that’s what you’re after, then it’s a good buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this sweatshirt fit me if I’m between sizes?

Check the chart first, because the sizes map to specific US ranges: S is 4-6, M is 8-10, L is 12-14, XL is 16-18 and 2XL is 20-22. The listing mentions a casual fit, meaning that if you’re in between sizes and prefer a looser fit, the smaller size should still fit well.

Needs any special washing or care?

Care instructions are not mentioned in the listing, so be sure to take a look at the label on the garment before washing it. Fabrics like these are generally light and soft, and need special treatment, and they’re best treated as instructed on the tag and not on the product page.

Would it be a worthwhile investment to have a plain sweatshirt like this?

Yes, if you’re searching for a layer that you’d be able to use for various parts of your day. It is a general statement of purpose for a top, and RUMIA has it listed as a school-top, office-top, running-top, gym-top, sports-top and home-top. But it is basic so it won’t change an outfit, it simply makes the ordinary simpler.

Would you like to buy the RUMIA Sweatshirt?

Yes, if you are usually dressed in casual clothing. Whether you’re a student, a gym person or anyone who works from home, a pullover that is soft and has long sleeves will be used daily for the longest time. Easy to repeat with solid colour style and forgiving thanks to its wide size ladder and relaxed cut.

No, if you’re searching for a top that you can wear to dinner, to an office that has a dress code, or any dressed up occasion. This comfortable fit and casual design won’t give you the defined look you’re after. Instead, consider a fitted knit, or a structured blouse, in a similar solid colour.

There is a balance between comfort/ease and shape. This is a comfort one.
