This Free People Sweater Is The Only Thing I Want To Put On My Body Right Now

It makes me feel like the main character in a Nancy Meyers movie (or at least the main character of my Zoom calls).

By the time winter rolls around, my brain is usually too exhausted to conceptualize cute outfits and my body is too cold to wear anything that isn’t cozy.

Free People

Thankfully, Free People has rescued me from both of these problems. Enter the Alli V-neck tunic sweater, which I discovered through Nuuly, a clothing rental service that’s part of Free People’s parent group, URBN. Since then, I’ve purchased it (and re-rented it) in multiple colors.

This knit sweater is thick, oversized, and soft. My biggest pet peeve with sweaters is how itchy or irritating they can be on your skin, especially in winter when skin is already parched and suffering. That isn’t an issue with this V-neck. I own it in camel and black, but I’ve also worn it in white and green through my rental subscription. It also comes in pink, blue, gray, lavender, and more, depending on where you purchase it. (It's also available at Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's).

Best of all, this sweater is incredibly versatile.

It makes you feel like you’re the main character in a Nancy Meyers movie ― or at the very least, the main character of your Zoom calls. I’ve used it as a pullover instead of a sweatshirt. I’ve worn it under coats to protect me from frigid temps. I’ve dressed it up for holiday dinners. I’ve lounged in it on days when I’m too lazy to wear anything else.

I highly recommend sizing down. I normally take a size large, but I’ve worn it in a medium and even a small, and both maintained the oversized look. This is also a dream garment if you’re on the taller side. I’m 6 feet tell and I can easily wear it with leggings, although the more you size down, the shorter it gets. (But it’s still workable!)

If you’re looking for a sweater that can do it all, this is it. The only thing you’ll regret about your purchase is that you didn’t do it sooner. Trust me. You can check out some reviews below or just scroll down to get this versatile winter must-have for yourself.

"I love everything about this sweater! I got it in the green color and it’s beautiful! I sized down to a large from my normal XL!" —Sami032

"I own this in the water world color and wouldn’t trade it for ANYTHING! I love the color THAT MUCH! It is so richly colored and so comfy, I want to wear it all the time! It’s like being wrapped in a warm hug! If I don’t get the red for Christmas I’m buying it myself!!" —Shopgirl2

"This is the sweater of my dreams! I got the white color in a size Medium and it fits perfectly oversized. The quality + thickness is insane! I can't wait til this becomes a closet staple this fall. I recommend ordering your normal size if you don't mind it being a bit oversized. For reference I'm 6ft, size 6 and typically a medium. This sweater is definitely an investment piece, but one you'll be wearing for years!" —madsc24

"I bought the white in med based on reviews then returned for an xs which is still oversized but more contained. I'm usually a L/Xl. This sweater is so soft and feels so luxurious! Cozy and warm on cool Cali nights. Love it!" —Lightfilled

Get it from Free People for $148 (available in sizes XS–L and seven colors; also available at Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's.).
