^ second @BigAkoya love La Ligne. The sweaters run large though but are meant to be slouchy (or I always thought they were). I’m tall, flat and a size 2 or so … and the XS is still slouchy but looks like it’s meant to be styled that way (all of their styles sort of fit me the same). Also they are well priced and their dresses fit beautiful and are amazing, particularly for the price.Oh.. tough question on this sweater...
I'll have to explain a bit and split hairs. I would say it runs true to size, but it is still loose, yet not slouchy.
However, if your definition of true-to-size is slouchy, then it is not quite that wide.
I wear a size 2 or 4 top (I have broad shoulders), and I purchased an XS. I like how it is not super slouchy, but it is still loose.
I am short, 5' 2", so if you are taller or have long arms, pay attention to the sleeves as they hit right at the wrist bone. At first, it kind of annoyed me, but now, I really like that. I can push up my sleeve or keep it long, and I like the wrist peeking out showing more skin for a spring/summer sweater look.
The shoulder is slightly dropped, so shoulder fit will not be an issue. The deciding factor is more about the width of the sweater.
For reference, I also wear La Ligne sweaters, also in XS, and they are cut super wide (super slouchy) with very long sleeves.
The Emma is not cut that wide at all which is why I like it so much. It's still loose, but still gives a very slimming look.
I would say I look slouchy in a La Ligne sweater and my body shape is a bit lost. I look casual loose in the Emma sweater, and I look slim, even though the sweater is loose.
Oh... what I love about this sweater is the neckline. The ribbing is flat at the neckline, it's a lower crewneck (vs. a highcut crewneck), so it shows off the neck and collarbone nicely and allows long necklaces to drape over some skin.
Hope that helps.

Here is La Ligne for reference so you can see the fit. See how wide it's cut?

Thank you for this detailed explanation. This helped me out so much. I am also between 2-4 in tops and ordered XS — same as you!Oh.. tough question on this sweater...

So fabulous on you! I love it long, and it lays beautifully. Love the Pucci leggings too. I need to whip mine out... spring is here (almost).
Me too! I have so much La Ligne oversized sweaters that my body shape is lost too. This is still loose but a very refreshing look.
you are my inspiration, I absolutely love your style
Reminds me of this photo. The two motif would be gorgeous!!OMG. I cannot thank you enough! I didn't even think of the 2-motif. What you have outlined is fewer items, more impact. Right up my alley
I do still want the Pave Frivole earrings. And the 6-motif necklace, will try the 16. And we haven't even gotten to the arms yet (single row Pave bangle, Frivole BTF ring)....But at least I have a vision for the ears.
The problem is everything I want is not available online, so I will have to make the trek to an actual store when I get to NYC hopefully soon.
A bit OT, but LP mens has some nice sweaters that could easily be unisex if you aren’t crazy about the current women’s collection. They are basic enough to nicely showcase a VCA necklace
And, trimmer than la ligne and oddly more modern than recent brunello cuchinelliI would love to know too! I have been asking for the MOP two motif for a while and, as of a couple of weeks ago, understand that it’s still on a “no order” list. Not sure why because other MOP items are not as hard to get. If anyone has insight, it would be great to understand!
