The sun beats down on this scorching summer day. Burgers sizzle on the grill. The voices of friends and family fill the air. Kids splash in the pool. And you are parched. Someone hands you tall glass of sweet peach tea. You take a long drink. Refreshed and renewed, now the day is complete.

Peach Tea is a delightful cropped pullover with all the customization you could want. It contains instructions for 3 lengths of sleeves from short to long. You can create a scrappy marled fade or use color blocks of DK, the options are endless!

All sizes and customizations were tech edited and tested on this #sizeinclusive sweater.
