Cotton Decadence: A New Trilogy
As the days grow longer, finally sending the winter-sun fading into the reflection of the rear-view mirror, the sun-drenched road ahead will start to come into view, bringing with it a plethora of opportune moments for The Anthologist to indulge themselves in the soft splendour of our new Knitted Cotton Sweaters.
This latest trio of delights follows on from the recent release of our Knitted Sweater in Black. Launching now in Clay Brown, Cream and Sage.
Not always is it necessary for novel invention, grand ideas or reinventing the wheel, as it were. No, sometimes all it takes is the odd subtle tweak to align something with your own encapsulation of a more modern, eclectic expression.
The style of our Knitted Sweater, in essence, features a simple design yet has specific proportions that inspired the redefinition of this classic piece. To illustrate, then, it has a higher neckline, ribbed sleeves and collar, a shorter body and a longer ribbed hem. This last detail, for instance, allows the sweater to hug around the waistband of your trousers without going too long or needing to be tucked in, an aspect that ensures good overall proportions even when paired with mid to high-rise trousers and sport coats.
As individual pieces, they acclimate with ease into the wardrobe, offering soft, tonal impressions for those gentler days when the world feels slower and calmer; when starting the day off by soothingly rolling your back the sleeves, brewing a fresh batch of coffee as Gerry Mulligan’s ‘Night Lights’ traverses the airwaves and being wrapped in a cotton-filled embrace feels just about right.
However, their upmost versatility shows when truly needed. For that evening soirée around a dear old friend’s apartment, when the caution of making too much effort begins to surface just as one opens their wardrobe doors, simply slipping into a Knitted Sweater, tucking it in and throwing over one of our brushed cotton sports jackets, will ensure a clothed canvas suitable enough should the urge arise to paint the town a certain shade of red on that particular, Summer Saturday night.
