Would You?: Gant Rugger Striped Knitted Cotton Sweater

You know how sometimes certain pieces look good on the hanger but then when you wear them or see them on someone, it just looks a tad off? This particular sweater from Gant Rugger had that effect on me the other day.

I was drawn to its sleek refined color combination. The contrast on the chest adds a touch of modern classic cool. But then I saw it on the model and it became clear that said contrast strip on the chest looks more like a band of nipple tape. It looks a bit awkward and perhaps it’s the positioning of the strip? It just looks like you might be wearing a strapless bra of sorts. Not so cool. What do you guys think?
