Irregular blocks of pewter and pale silver travel across this knit in a giraffe print that changes direction as it moves around the body. The pattern is knitted in rather than printed, worked in a fine lurex blend so the whole surface carries a low metallic glint. A ribbed stand neckline in plain silver sits above it, long sleeves run clean to the wrist, and the body finishes at the hip.
Love a knit with a bit of glimmer? It tucks into a full skirt as shown here, and works just as well with something narrow and dark below. Keep jewellery in pewter or silver tones so the metallic stays one idea rather than two. A tailored jacket or leather pairing takes it into evening, or flat boots and denim keep it easy.
