I have this in several colors and it's a go-to for me. Drop it on with jeans and a tank, or with an elegant dinner dress, because it works either way. It's just enough to keep you from shivering in the restaurant that has the AC set on kill so that you can still enjoy your dining experience. Keeps the sun from burning your shoulders while not making you overheat. I find them to run true to size; I always buy something like this bigger than I truly need, simply because I like the fit to be longer. They wash well and come out of the dryer looking like the day you took it out of the package. I don't recommend high drying heat and never use that myself for anything other than towels. It's not heavy, but not see through; the lightness is what makes it work so well! Spring, fall, summer, winter; there's no season that doesn't call for this.
