Chic and Cozy: MARNI Long Sleeve Striped Cardigan
The MARNI Long Sleeve Striped Cardigan from the Rent the Runway collection has a unique charm despite a slight difference in appearance from the website's depiction. While it appears a tad worn compared to the pristine image online, the cardigan's diagonal stripes add a stylish contrast that's quite appealing. Crafted from thick material, this cardigan ensures warmth and comfort during cooler days. Despite its substantial feel, I found it surprisingly non-itchy, although I opted to wear a shirt or tank underneath for added comfort. What truly sets this cardigan apart is its adorable design. The diagonal stripes create an eye-catching visual, adding flair to any outfit. It's a versatile piece that effortlessly elevates a casual look or complements a more dressed-up ensemble.

Fun fall cardigan
I’m excited about this one. The quality is great, print is fun. I’ll wear it for work and weekend. Rented a size up and it’s good, could have done my normal size also

Warm wool cardigan good for work or causal
The wool texture is warm and comfy. Pattern is flattering and can be paired with work pants or jeans. Can be worn alone or as a layering piece. The fit is a bit oversized. May size down if renting again. Otherwise absolutely love it! Would have bought it if it wasn't so pricey.

Favorite sweater
Was not initially wowed by this sweater in the pictures but in person I LOVE it. Retro and perfect. Colors look really great with both black and blue jeans. The fit is so great, cropped in the front so it has the look and proportions of a cropped sweater, but longer on the sides and back for a nice roomy oversized fit. It’s really stylish so I would wear it out with friends but also so comfortable to just wear on the weekend around the house too. I did not find it itchy, but it does have the feel of regular wool as opposed to cashmere or a really soft synthetic.

Just like grandpa had!
I used to borrow my grandpa's old sweaters in high school wear with my concert t's and doc martens. Brought it all back with this sweater! Rocked my vintage motley crue and some skinnys. Loved it!!

Team RTR REVIEW
I really liked this vintage style cardigan. I recommend going for your true size if you want this slightly oversized and up two sizes if you want this very oversized. Size down if you want it closer to the body - overall felt comfortable all day.

Cute sweater, but nothing special
The sweater is missing a button, which affected the way you wear it. Otherwise it's a cute sweater, but I feel it's nothing special considering the high price tag Marni has.

Cute!
Really liked this cardigan. It’s not very thick, so it’s not going to provide a ton of warmth, but it’s a great layering piece. I also really liked the overall length, it’s cropped, but not too short. Recommend.

Grandpa
I should have sized up for a more oversize feel, maybe then it would look better. It was warm, but itchy and nothing about it looked cool when I put it on. Looks like something I would find in my grandparents' basement. Wore it to hang out at home but not out. Disappointing. Would expect higher quality for this pricepoint

Very oversized
I got this in a larger and it was very big on me. I loved the colors however. And the quality of the knit was amazing. It was very warm though, especially because of the high quality tight knit and I ended up taking it off halfway thru the work day.

Perfection in an oversized sweater. Received compliments every single time I wore it.
Throw this sweater on with any outfit, and immediately take it up a notch. The colors are simultaneously unique and neutral. The fit is flattering while nodding to the current oversized trend.

The fit, the fabric, the shape - everything was perfect. Someone did say 'oh, were you selected for House Gryffindor?' which ... yeah, these are those colors. Didn't mind at all though, still a GREAT sweater.

I liked this sweater. I think the v neck was modest and can be worn on its own. Looks cute without having to try too hard. Some of the buttons were chipped on the front.
