The comfortable, loose-fitting Monaco Pullover features an asymmetrical hem that creates a slant across the lower body of the sweater. The vertical lines of ribbing were inspired by a city skyline growing up along an incline. The dropped shoulders allow for a boxy fit in the body and slim sleeves for a contemporary style.
