Organza Sheer Sleeve High Neck Knitted Sweater

Sheer organza sleeves billow from the shoulder and gather into ribbed knit cuffs - the contrast between the two fabrics is the whole point of this piece. A fine-rib knit body sits close to the torso without pulling, finishing at the hip with a clean ribbed hem that tucks neatly or skims over the waistband. The stand-up high neck is knitted rather than banded, so it folds softly rather than sitting stiff - it frames the face without adding bulk. Viscose in the knit delivers a soft drape and cool handfeel that skims the body, making it far more comfortable against the skin than a standard wool-blend knit. The seam where the organza sleeve meets the knit body is finished with a delicate scalloped edge, a detail that reads as intentional craftsmanship at close range. This sweater earns its place at the more considered end of the wardrobe - it works hardest when the rest of the outfit stays disciplined. Worn as the model has styled it, with wide-leg tailored trousers and nothing competing for attention, the organza sleeves do all the talking. That restraint is what makes it so versatile: pair it with a sleek midi skirt and heeled mules for a dinner that calls for something more than a blouse, or tuck it into high-waisted tailored trousers for a boardroom look that still has an edge. The ribbed cuffs anchor the sleeves so they don't overwhelm a jacket layered on top - a sharp blazer worn open over it keeps the sleeves visible while adding structure. For evenings out, the sheer sleeves catch the light just enough to make it feel dressed up without requiring additional jewellery. Machine washable, which for a piece this considered is a genuine practical advantage. | Karen Millen Women's Organza Sheer Sleeve High Neck Knitted Sweater in Black | Size: Large
