I’m usually very cautious with my purchases because my skin is so sensitive to certain fabrics. I actually messaged the brand beforehand, and they were so sweet and communicative, assuring me this piece was, in fact, soft. I decided to get this item, and they were right. It's very soft. I wore it all day at work without that prickly feeling I sometimes get from sweaters. This is a really great item, and thank you to the brand for being so communicative.
