Plush Rib-Knit Boat Neck Sweater in Brown

Some sweaters are for looking at. This brown rib-knit is for curling up in, and it happens to hold a polished line while you do it.

The rib runs through a plush, substantial knit with the kind of softness that invites you to stay in it. Its drape is what keeps the piece from reading casual: the fabric falls rather than bunches. A wide boat neckline runs shoulder to shoulder and will slip on or off the shoulder depending on how you wear it. Blouson sleeves gather in at a ribbed hem, which is what stops the volume from turning shapeless.

The result is an effortless silhouette that never crosses into sloppy. Wear it straight down over jeans and let the neckline do the work, or pull one shoulder loose for the evening. Brown is the easy one in a wardrobe, so this layers over almost anything already in the drawer.
