The first gallery photo for the MAXCT Round Neck Ripped Sweater shows a frayed lower edge and a larger distressed opening near the front hem. A dark trouser is visible below. The listing offers Black, Gray Blue and Pink in M, L and XL. If you are buying it for that distressed look, the practical question is what will show through and below the lower edge when you move. The listing does not give an opening size or map every rip on every color, so plan the layer with your own clothes and examine the image for the exact option you select.

Make a visibility map with a top you own

Choose a plain tee you would actually wear underneath. Put it under a distressed or short sweater you own, or hold the tee against the product photo, and mark three places: the round neckline, the front opening near the lower edge, and the frayed hem. A tee close to your skin tone may visually recede at the opening; a contrasting tee will emphasize it. These are styling choices, not a claim that the opening exposes the same area on everyone. Try the tee while sitting and lifting an arm, because an underlayer that looks hidden while standing can become visible at the hem. If you prefer no visible base layer, check the gallery opening and ask for its position and size before relying on the first photo.

Compare two hem lengths, not just sweater size

The sweater chart lists length 66 cm in M, 68 cm in L and 70 cm in XL. Measure from the shoulder to the hem of a knit you already like, then measure the tee from the same starting point. The difference gives you a starting estimate for whether the tee may extend beneath the frayed edge. Do this with the garments laid flat and check the result on your body; the listing allows about 1–3 cm of manual measurement variation and does not define the precise start point for every chart entry. Moving from M to XL adds 4 cm of length, so sizing up may shift the lower opening relative to your waistband, but the photo does not establish that its decorative opening sits at an identical height in all sizes.

Recheck sleeve reach and body room

The chest values are 120, 124 and 128 cm for M, L and XL. Shoulder widths are 61, 62 and 63 cm; sleeve lengths are 49, 50 and 51 cm. The broad shoulder and shorter listed sleeve change together, so compare both points against a sweater whose cuffs you like instead of treating sleeve length alone as a cuff-position promise. If you add a tee, measure that reference sweater with the tee underneath to judge chest room. The garment measurement guide explains why the listed chest value should be compared with another garment rather than with your body alone.

The first photo is useful for locating the frayed edge and front opening, and the size chart is useful for comparing the three listed sizes. It does not establish fabric composition, tested stretch, the exact rip layout on every variant, or how much skin or base layer will show during movement. Use the option-specific gallery and your own tee and trousers to decide whether the intended contrast is right for you.
