There is an undeniable magnetism to lurex. It captures the light and the imagination without ever feeling excessive. This authentic vintage knit features a deep emerald hue shot through with metallic thread for a finish that is festive yet sophisticated.

The silhouette is effortlessly relaxed. A chic mock neckline frames the face, while the dropped shoulders and boxy cut provide a comfortable drape that does not cling. It is the perfect balance of structure and slouch.

This shape works wonderfully to add texture to your upper half. It skims the torso to offer ease of movement while the shimmer draws the eye upwards. It is an ideal piece if you want to highlight your face and shoulders.

Style it tucked into high-waisted velvet trousers for evening elegance or wear it loose over denim for a textured daytime look. Add blinging acccessories to bring in a little drama. This is sustainable glamour that requires zero effort. It is a piece that brings a touch of stardust to the everyday.
