This jumper is knitted in a soft apricot with a fine zigzag texture running the full width of the body, each row catching your eye as the yarn shifts between stitches. The neckline sits in a wide, gentle scoop finished with a neat ribbed trim, echoed by a matching ribbed band at the hem. The sleeves are generously cut at the shoulder, narrowing gradually to a ribbed cuff at the forearm, giving the piece a relaxed, draped shape rather than a fitted one. Pulled on rather than fastened, it keeps its shape through the ribbing at the hem and cuffs.

The relaxed shoulder and wide sleeve give plenty of room through the upper arm, so if you prefer a looser fit through the top half, this jumper offers that ease. The ribbed hem sits gently at the waist without pulling in, and the scoop neckline works well both with a single long necklace or just as simply left plain. Pair it with a straight skirt or tailored trousers for a simple daytime look, or wear it over a collared shirt with the cuffs showing beneath the sleeve. The ribbing at the cuffs and hem keeps the shape after wear.
