I normally like zipper accents, but this one is a little too....random, I guess describes it best for me.

 

But I love the sweater otherwise, and depending on the price, might buy it.

 

ETA:  No, I would not purchase this sweater.

Personally, I don't want any zippers in the vicinity of knit fabrics.  It's only an invitation to pulls and pilling!

 

Don't these people have any sense!  Even hand washing isn't safe!

Re: šŸ¤ Zipper Accents šŸ¤

I'm not crazy about either one of these, HOWEVER I do like zippers when they are placed where I like on clothing. I have a few tops with zippers at the shoulders, and my favorite pants are these by Attitudes by Renee A279577. When I got them, I thought they would be a weekend pant, but I find myself reaching for them a lot more than that! The zipper is somewhat hidden and matched to the material, but it is still there and I can have the look I want - zipped or unzipped. Personally, I'm not a fan of bright zippers on the legs of pants, although I know many like that look. Smiley Happy

I like some zipper details but on this sweater it looks odd to me. 

 

Interesting choice of designer.

It's not exactly a new look...decorative zippers.  They've been trending for quite some time now.  They are not functional zippers, they just add interest.  I have a white dress that has faux zippers down each size.  It's a midi and it has the look of the zipper being open a few inches at the hem....I love that dress and I get compliments whenever I wear.  I should say whenver I wore it....it's too big now.

These are fine.  What I hate are those huge metal zippers running all the way down the back of a dress.

I like zipper accents. 

About 8 years ago I had a M Kors handbag with a zipper design on the outside of the bag. I had more compliments on that bag than any other bag I have ever owned. It pulled on all my clothing and was a disaster. I had to donate it after carrying it for a very short period of time.
