A good sweater vest is a wardrobe staple in my book: adds a bit of cozy wool and pop of color to any outfit, keeps you warm when it’s cool but not quite cold enough for a sweater, and is perfect for layering when the weather’s unpredictable.
Vilcanota incorporates simple cables into a classic sweater vest shape with modern details. Slightly cropped in the front, it hangs lower in the back thanks to a split hem. Cables frame swathes of stockinette and reverse stockinette forming contrasting “rivers” on the front and back. A deep v-neck and moderate waist shaping create a feminine silhouette.
