Two Boxy Crews, Two Different Looks
If you're looking for a relaxed, boxy-fit jumper, both the Retro Box Crew Pink and the Dolce Box Crew Vintage White are strong contenders. They share the same base silhouette and price point (USD 53.97), but their fabric composition, weight, and graphic style create distinct personalities. This comparison focuses on what actually differs so you can decide which one suits your wardrobe better.
Both jumpers are exclusive to All About Eve and feature a boxy fit with ribbed trims at the neckline, cuffs, and hem. The key differences come down to fabric weight, colour, and the type of graphic each one carries.
Fabric and Feel: Cotton Blend vs Heavyweight Brushed Fleece
- Retro Box Crew Pink – Lightweight Cotton-Blend Fleece: Made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester, this crew uses a soft cotton-blend fleece with a softener wash. The result is a smooth, lived-in feel from the first wear. It's lighter and more breathable, making it a good choice for layering over a tee or wearing in milder weather.
- Dolce Box Crew Vintage White – Heavyweight Brushed Fleece: This jumper is crafted from 90% cotton and 10% polyester in a heavyweight brushed fleece. The brushed interior creates a plush hand-feel and provides more insulation. It's designed to hold its shape while remaining soft and breathable, making it better suited for cooler days.
Fit and Silhouette: Both Boxy, But Not Identical
Both jumpers are described as a 'boxy fit' with dropped shoulders and a relaxed shape. However, the Retro Box Crew Pink is noted as a 'relaxed boxy fit' that sits comfortably without feeling oversized, while the Dolce Box Crew Vintage White is described as having a 'clean, contemporary silhouette' with a similar relaxed shape. The model wears a size 8 for both, suggesting a comparable sizing approach. If you prefer a slightly less voluminous feel, the Retro Box Crew's description suggests it may be a touch less roomy, though both are intentionally loose.
Graphic Style: Retro vs Contemporary
- Retro Box Crew Pink – Playful, Statement Graphic: The All About Eve exclusive retro graphic adds a fun, statement touch. The pink colour and retro design make it a bold choice that's easy to style with jeans or relaxed trousers.
- Dolce Box Crew Vintage White – Subtle Front, Bold Back: Features a subtle chest print and a bold back graphic. The vintage white colour keeps it neutral, while the dual graphics allow for more versatility – it can be worn forward for a low-key look or backwards to show off the design.

Which One Should You Choose?
Your decision comes down to weight and graphic preference. If you want a lighter, softer jumper with a playful pop of colour and a retro vibe, go with the Retro Box Crew Pink. It's great for casual off-duty outfits and warmer days.
If you prefer a heavier, warmer fabric with a neutral colour that works with more outfits, and you like the option of a subtle front print with a bolder back design, the Dolce Box Crew Vintage White is the better pick. Its heavyweight fleece also offers more structure and warmth for cooler weather.
Both jumpers are priced the same and share a similar boxy silhouette, so the choice is really about which fabric weight and graphic style fits your personal style and climate needs.
