I received this and the v-neck sweater for Christmas. I must say, the v-neck one is FAR superior. It fit better, and just looked better in general. It probably didn't help that I didn't like the color of the crew neck one, but even if it was in my favorite color, there is little chance that I would have kept it.
This sweater goes well with so many different outfits! I usually wear large sizes but fit a medium fits much more snugly for this specific case. Definitely a plus for any wardrobe.
Looks great as a casual sweater, and the only knock against it is a bit short at the waist. I have long arms and a long, thin torso, so a large would be too baggy. Other than that, it is a solid buy.
