Usually I find all-over leopard print a bit much, but there's something so appealing about this pattern. Perhaps because it is slighly geometric? It offers just enough impact and the cardigan styling makes is super easy to wear. This is the perfect length and weight for fall layering. Covers your butt, so ideal for leggings. I'm just shy of 5' (typically wear an s or m in tops) and ordered the medium. One thing I do want to mention is this is definitely a "relaxed" and style of sweater. The sleeves are quite roomy. It's comfy cozy... However, if you are someone who prefers really fitted styles, you may want to size down. Overall great buy and I highly recommend.
