O'Neill Kirsley Long Sleeve Sweater

An easy, oversized layer for relaxed days

Shoppers looking up the O'Neill Kirsley sweater are usually after an easy layering piece, and that is exactly what this is. It is a casual, oversized striped sweater built as a staple for relaxed days, with a feel-good, timeless look rather than anything fussy or structured.

What is actually built into it

This is a women's long sleeve sweater in a regular length with an oversized fit and a drop shoulder. The yarn dye stripe gives it its pattern, and it is made from a 55% cotton, 45% acrylic blend, which balances the softness of cotton with the shape retention of acrylic.

Who this sweater is for

The oversized, drop shoulder cut makes it a good layering piece for cooler South Florida evenings, whether that is heading out after a day at the beach, throwing it on over a swimsuit as the sun goes down, or just wanting a relaxed, roomy sweater for everyday wear. It is not a fitted piece, so it works well layered or worn on its own.

Wear and care

The drop shoulder and oversized fit are meant to hang loose rather than snug, so sizing down for a closer fit is a common approach if that is the look you want. Because it is a cotton and acrylic blend, washing cold and laying flat to dry will help the yarn dye stripe and shape hold up better than machine drying on heat.

About O'Neill
