About this sweater
This fantastic V neck sweater is sure to become a staple in your wardrobe, it easily goes with anything and because of the way it is knit you can choose to wear the V in the back or the front. You can also sass up your style with an off the shoulder look. It is short-sleeved so can be worn on its own or over a collared shirt to give it a polished look. It is a simple top-down and very easy to add length, if you have a longer torso or would just like it to cover more. I hope you enjoy this beautiful top, I already have it in three colours.
