Striped Split Hem Knit Jumper

Oversized roll neck sits high and folds back on itself, adding structure at the neckline without any stiffness - it settles naturally and stays put throughout the day. Bold horizontal stripes vary in width across the body and sleeves, creating a graphic quality that reads as considered rather than casual. The wide, flared sleeves are finished with a deep ribbed cuff that anchors the silhouette - the contrast between the relaxed body and that defined hem detail is what gives this jumper its shape. A split hem at the sides allows the hem to fall open slightly, lending a little movement and breaking the boxy outline without sacrificing the cosy, enveloping feel. The viscose-rich knit brings a soft drape and cool handfeel that skims the body rather than clinging - it moves well and holds its shape wash after wash. The split hem is the detail that sets this jumper apart from a standard stripe knit. It lets the hem swing as you move, shifting the whole piece from straightforward weekend knitwear into something with a deliberate, editorial quality. The roll neck keeps things polished at the top, so the volume through the body reads as intentional rather than oversized. Worn as the model does here - with slim-cut leather-look trousers - the proportions balance precisely, the wide sleeves and relaxed body sitting cleanly against a narrow leg. For the office, tuck the front loosely into tailored wide-leg trousers and let the split hem do the talking. Come the weekend, it layers comfortably over a fitted long-sleeve top or under a long wool coat for a more considered approach to casual dressing. This is a piece that works hardest when the rest of the outfit is kept deliberately restrained. | Karen Millen Women's Striped Split Hem Knit Jumper in Grey | Size: Large
