Lieve – The Sweater
Always In · Level: Beginner
Part of Always In – my collection of timeless favourites. Lieve – The Sweater is a fine-knit polo neck jumper with a feminine fit, knitted in soft Bella wool from Permin. The name means "dear" in Dutch, which suits the jumper's close, elegant look – just as good on its own as under a blazer or a coat.
Elegant. Feminine. Timeless.
Styling
Wear Lieve – The Sweater with jeans, tailored trousers or a satin skirt for an elegant look. The slim silhouette also makes it perfect under a blazer, a coat or a vest when the temperature drops.
