Or pullover, whichever you prefer. Bought it two weeks ago while waiting for medical results during my time of both physical and existential malaise.

It gave me comfort since it was raining that Saturday afternoon and I needed something warm and dark-colored for protection and a little bit of security. Didn't even take it off after fitting: just packed the polo shirt I was wearing in the paper bag.

Also comes in handy as a make-do scarf. If only sweaters, scarves, and jackets can be depended on for assurance for those times that love comes like a sickness that inevitably renders us naked.


Pullover and jeans: both Gap; short-sleeved shirt, Ben Sherman; belt, Brave Beltworks; Young Camel satchel, printed Converse sneakers, wool tie, and red portfolio: all thrifted
