Bon Viveur Sweater
The Bon Viveur Sweater is a shining example of understated elegance. The clean lines and smooth stockinette fabric give way to an artfully ruched-sleeve detail—increases and decreases accentuate a center band that gently gathers into dimensional tucks. The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down.
