Jazlyn Ribbed Boat Neck Jumper

The Jazlyn ribbed boat neck jumper is designed for women who love texture, softness and a relaxed shape that still feels refined. With its wide boat neckline, ribbed yoke detail and easy dropped shoulders, Jazlyn brings a modern, sculptural feel to everyday knitwear.

Knitted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, this cashmere jumper feels soft, warm and naturally breathable. The ribbed detail across the upper body gives the piece quiet structure, while the relaxed fit allows it to drape comfortably without feeling heavy or oversized.

This is luxury knitwear with character. Simple enough to wear every day, but detailed enough to make even the easiest outfit look considered.

Why This Ribbed Boat Neck Jumper Stands Out:

Jazlyn stands out because of its texture. The ribbed yoke creates a beautiful point of interest across the shoulders and upper body, giving the jumper more depth than a plain knit.

The boat neckline adds elegance without feeling delicate or dressy. It frames the collarbone softly and gives the jumper a clean, graceful line. Combined with the dropped shoulder shape, the result is relaxed but still polished.

This is not a basic jumper. It has the ease of a favourite everyday knit, but the ribbed construction and neckline make it feel more intentional. It is a piece that can look casual, artistic or quietly smart depending on how it is styled.

The Jazlyn boat neck jumper has a relaxed one-size fit with a generous chest measurement and soft dropped shoulders. The shape is easy and comfortable, but the ribbed sections give it definition so it does not look shapeless.

The ribbed yoke sits across the upper body, adding structure where the jumper needs it most. The sleeves continue the ribbed texture, creating a subtle contrast with the smoother body of the knit.

The length is neat enough to wear with trousers, denim or skirts, while the relaxed width gives the garment movement. It is ideal for layering over a fine base layer, wearing under a coat, or styling simply on its own.

This ribbed detail jumper is knitted from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. The cashmere gives softness and a smooth luxury feel, while the lambswool brings warmth, durability and gentle structure.

The 8gg / 2ply knit gives Jazlyn a midweight feel. It is warm enough for cooler days, but still breathable and comfortable indoors. The texture of the ribbed sleeves and yoke makes the jumper feel cosy without looking bulky.

It is luxury knitwear designed to be worn often — soft, practical and beautifully tactile.

A ribbed boat neck jumper is a perfect choice if you want knitwear with more visual detail than a classic crew neck, but still want something easy to wear.

The boat neckline gives a more open, elegant look around the shoulders. The ribbed detail adds texture and makes the jumper feel more designed. The relaxed fit keeps it comfortable and effortless.

Jazlyn is especially useful because it does not rely on bold patterns or complicated styling. The shape and texture do the work, making it easy to pair with simple wardrobe pieces.

This cashmere jumper is for someone who loves comfort but does not want plain knitwear. It is ideal if you like soft natural fibres, relaxed silhouettes and subtle design details.

Wear Jazlyn with wide-leg trousers for a calm, modern outfit, with denim for everyday ease, or with a midi skirt for a softer look. It also works beautifully with minimal jewellery because the boat neckline creates a natural frame.

This is a good jumper for anyone building a wardrobe around timeless pieces that still have personality.

To keep your Jazlyn ribbed boat neck jumper soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care.

Hand wash cold or dry clean.
Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent.
Do not wring or twist the garment.
Reshape the neckline, ribbed sleeves and hem while damp.
Lay flat to dry naturally.
Store folded rather than hanging to help protect the dropped shoulders and relaxed fit.

What makes Jazlyn a ribbed boat neck jumper?

Jazlyn has a wide boat neckline and textured ribbed detail across the yoke and sleeves. This combination gives the jumper its distinctive shape, texture and modern finish.

Is the boat neckline very wide?

The neckline is designed to sit gently across the collarbone. It feels open and elegant, but still easy to wear for everyday styling.

Is Jazlyn a relaxed fit knit?

Yes. Jazlyn has dropped shoulders, a generous chest and an easy one-size shape, giving it a relaxed fit without making it feel too heavy.

What is the jumper made from?

Jazlyn is made from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. This blend gives softness, warmth, breathability and better structure for regular wear.

Does the ribbed detail make the jumper chunky?

No. The ribbing adds texture and definition, but the 8gg / 2ply knit keeps the jumper comfortable and wearable rather than bulky.

Can I wear this jumper with smart trousers?

Yes. The boat neckline and ribbed yoke make Jazlyn polished enough to wear with tailored trousers, especially in softer colours such as Buttermilk, Chalk Blue or Navy Marl.

Is this cashmere jumper suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The cashmere and lambswool blend is soft and luxurious, but also practical for regular use when cared for gently.

Which colours are available?

Jazlyn is available in Buttermilk, Chalk Blue, Monet Pink, Navy Marl, Orchid Ice and Soft Pink.

How should I style a ribbed boat neck jumper?

Style it with denim for a relaxed look, with wide-leg trousers for modern simplicity, or with a skirt when you want the outfit to feel softer and more feminine.

Will the dropped shoulders suit layering?

Yes. The dropped shoulders give the jumper an easy shape that layers well over fine tops and under relaxed coats.

How do I keep the ribbed sleeves looking neat?

After washing, gently reshape the sleeves while damp and dry the jumper flat. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as this can stretch the shoulders and sleeves.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to how fine or dense the knit is, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they influence the jumper’s weight, warmth, texture and structure.

Rumble Collared Jumper – Relaxed Lambswool Cashmere Jumper

The Rumble collared jumper is made for easy days that still deserve beautiful knitwear. With its soft collar, open V neckline and relaxed shape, it has the comfort of a favourite jumper but with a more polished, considered finish.

Knitted from a warm and breathable blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, Rumble feels soft against the skin while keeping enough structure to hold its shape. The dropped shoulders give the jumper an effortless drape, while the open collar brings a subtle touch of smartness without feeling formal.

This is the kind of cashmere jumper women can wear in many ways — with jeans for relaxed weekends, with tailored trousers for a clean everyday look, or over a fine base layer when the weather turns cooler. It is simple, wearable and quietly elevated.

  • 70% Lambswool
  • 8 Gauge / 2 Ply knit construction

Why This Collared Jumper Stands Out:

Rumble stands out because it gives casual knitwear a sharper neckline. The collar changes the whole mood of the jumper, making it feel more styled than a plain crew neck but easier and softer than a shirt.

The open V shape creates space around the neckline, which makes the jumper feel light and flattering. There are no buttons, no fuss and no heavy detailing — just a clean collar, soft knit and relaxed drape.

This collared knit jumper works especially well for women who like understated luxury. It does not need loud colours or complicated styling to feel special. The shape does the work quietly.

T

he Rumble jumper has a relaxed one-size fit with dropped shoulders and a softly open neckline. It is designed to sit easily on the body rather than cling, giving it a natural, comfortable shape.

The collar gives the jumper a more refined look, while the V opening keeps it casual and breathable. This balance makes Rumble very versatile: smart enough for lunch or work-from-home days, but relaxed enough for weekends and travel.

The ribbed cuffs and hem help bring the shape together, adding a little structure to the softness of the knit. The overall effect is easy, neat and modern.

Rumble is knitted from a lambswool cashmere blend made with 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere adds softness and a luxury feel, while the lambswool brings warmth, texture and natural resilience.

The 8gg / 2ply construction gives the jumper a light but cosy feel. It is not a heavy winter knit, but it still offers gentle warmth for cooler days.

This is luxury knitwear UK customers can wear often — soft enough to feel special, practical enough for everyday life, and relaxed enough to become a piece you reach for again and again.

A collared knit jumper is a perfect choice when you want something softer than a shirt but smarter than a basic jumper. The collar adds shape around the neckline and instantly makes the outfit feel more finished.

Rumble is especially easy because the collar is knitted into a relaxed, button-free design. There is no stiffness, no formal structure and no sharp tailoring. It keeps the comfort of knitwear while giving your outfit a more thoughtful look.

It is a lovely option for transitional dressing, relaxed workwear, weekends away and everyday layering.

This cashmere jumper is for women who want comfort without losing style. It suits those who like natural fibres, relaxed silhouettes and simple pieces with one strong design detail.

Rumble is ideal if you prefer knitwear that feels effortless rather than overly dressed. It works beautifully with denim, cord trousers, wide-leg trousers, skirts or layered over a fine long-sleeve top.

It is also a good choice if you want a jumper that feels casual at first glance, but still has the quiet polish of premium knitwear.

To keep your Rumble collared jumper soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care.

Hand wash cold or dry clean.
Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent.
Do not wring or twist the knit.
Gently reshape the collar, cuffs and hem while damp.
Lay flat to dry naturally.
Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder shape and neckline.

What is a collared jumper?

A collared jumper is a knitted jumper designed with a collar detail at the neckline. Rumble features a soft knitted collar with an open V placket for a relaxed, modern look.

What is the Rumble collared jumper made from?

Rumble is made from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving it warmth, softness, breathability and improved durability.

Is this collared jumper a relaxed fit?

Yes. Rumble is designed with dropped shoulders and a relaxed silhouette, allowing the jumper to drape naturally without feeling too oversized.

Does the jumper have buttons?

No. The Rumble collared jumper has a clean, button-free open V neckline for easy styling and a minimal finish.

Is the Rumble jumper warm?

Yes. The 8gg / 2ply cashmere blend knit offers lightweight warmth, making it cosy without feeling heavy or bulky.

How should I style a collared jumper?

Style it with denim for relaxed everyday wear, with tailored trousers for a polished look, or layered over a fine base layer in cooler weather.

Will the jumper keep its shape?

The lambswool content helps the jumper retain structure. For best results, store it folded and avoid hanging it for long periods.

Is this collared jumper suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The cashmere and lambswool blend makes Rumble soft enough to feel luxurious while still being practical for regular wear.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Row Cashmere Blend Jumper – Split Neck Luxury Knitwear

The Row cashmere blend jumper is made for women who love quiet detail, soft natural fibres and effortless shape. With its gentle split neckline, rolled edges and relaxed dropped shoulders, Row feels calm, modern and beautifully easy to wear.

This is not a loud jumper. Its beauty is in the line, the softness and the way it falls. The open split neck gives the piece a relaxed elegance, while the smooth body keeps the look clean and understated.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, Row offers warmth without weight. It is soft enough to feel luxurious, practical enough for everyday wear and simple enough to style again and again. Wear it with denim, tailored trousers, wide-leg shapes or layered over a fine base when the weather feels cooler.

Why This Cashmere Blend Jumper Stands Out:

Row stands out because it understands simplicity. The design is minimal, but it is not plain. The split neckline gives the jumper a quiet point of interest, creating a softer alternative to a crew neck or V neck.

The rolled edges make the knit feel relaxed and natural. Instead of heavy ribbing, Row has a lighter finish that keeps the silhouette easy, modern and slightly undone in the best way.

This cashmere blend jumper is ideal when you want luxury knitwear that feels refined without looking formal. It has that effortless quality that makes an outfit feel complete, even when everything else is simple.

The Row jumper has a relaxed one-size shape with dropped shoulders and an easy, gently flowing body. It is designed to sit softly rather than cling, giving the jumper a comfortable and natural drape.

The split neck is the key design detail. It opens the neckline just enough to feel fresh, but not so much that it becomes difficult to wear. It works beautifully on its own or layered over a fine vest, camisole or long-sleeve base layer.

The longer length gives Row a relaxed, flattering feel. It can be worn loose over trousers, softly front-tucked, or styled with slim shapes for balance. The rolled cuffs and hem add a casual finish without making the jumper feel sporty.

Row is knitted from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere brings smoothness and a luxury hand feel, while the lambswool adds warmth, structure and natural resilience.

The 8gg / 2ply knit gives this relaxed knit jumper a light but cosy feel. It is warm enough for cool days, but breathable enough for indoor wear and easy layering.

This is luxury knitwear designed for real life. It feels special, but not precious. Soft, but not delicate. Relaxed, but still polished.

A split neck jumper gives you a softer neckline than a crew neck and a more understated shape than a deep V. It feels relaxed, feminine and easy without needing extra styling.

Row is a beautiful choice if you like knitwear that feels simple at first glance but has thoughtful design details. The split neckline frames the face gently, while the rolled edges keep the look light and effortless.

It is the kind of jumper that can move through different parts of your wardrobe: casual with jeans, clean with tailored trousers, soft with skirts, and cosy layered under coats.

Row is for someone who wants comfort, softness and quiet style in one piece. It is perfect if you love natural fibres and prefer knitwear that does not feel too structured or too fitted.

This jumper suits women who like simple outfits with beautiful texture. It works well for everyday dressing, travel, relaxed workwear, weekends and slow days when you still want to feel put together.

It is also a good choice if you want a cashmere blend jumper that looks timeless but not boring.

To keep your Row cashmere blend jumper soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care.

Hand wash cold or dry clean.
Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent.
Do not wring or twist the knit.
Gently reshape the split neckline, cuffs and hem while damp.
Lay flat to dry naturally.
Store folded rather than hanging to help preserve the relaxed shape.

What makes the Row jumper different from a classic crew neck jumper?

Row has a softly split neckline rather than a standard round neck, giving it a more relaxed and modern look while still feeling refined.

Does the split neckline sit low?

No. The neckline is softly open but not deeply cut, making it easy to wear on its own or layered over a fine base layer.

Why does this jumper have rolled edges instead of ribbed trims?

The rolled edges give Row a softer, more natural finish. They keep the silhouette light and relaxed, rather than structured or sporty.

Is Row better for layering or wearing on its own?

It works well both ways. The smooth front and lightweight warmth make it easy to layer, while the split neckline gives enough detail to wear alone.

What body shape does the relaxed fit suit?

The dropped shoulders and easy body shape create a soft drape, making Row suitable for those who prefer knitwear that feels comfortable without clinging.

Does the cashmere blend feel heavy?

No. The 8gg / 2ply knit gives warmth without too much weight, making Row suitable for transitional weather and everyday layering.

How can I make the jumper look more polished?

Style it with tailored trousers, simple jewellery and a wool coat. The split neckline gives enough openness to frame the face and neckline elegantly.

Can Row be worn tucked in?

Because of its relaxed shape and 66cm length, Row is best worn loose or with a soft front tuck rather than fully tucked in.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Nano Short Sleeve Cardigan – Cropped Cashmere Blend Knitwear

The Nano short sleeve cardigan is small in shape but full of character. Designed with a cropped body, deep V neckline and three simple buttons, it brings a fresh, feminine feel to luxury knitwear.

This is the cardigan you reach for when a full-length layer feels too much, but your outfit still needs softness, warmth and a finished look. The short sleeves make Nano feel light and modern, while the cropped length works beautifully with high-waisted trousers, skirts, denim and dresses.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cashmere cardigan feels soft, breathable and gently warm. It can be worn buttoned as a neat knitted top or left open as a light layer over a vest, camisole or summer dress.

Why This Short Sleeve Cardigan Stands Out:

Nano stands out because it changes how a cardigan can be worn. It is not a heavy layer or a traditional long-sleeve knit. It feels lighter, shorter and more styling-led.

The cropped shape gives it a youthful, easy proportion, while the deep V neckline creates a clean open line through the front. The three-button fastening keeps the design simple and neat, allowing the cardigan to work as both a top and a layer.

This short sleeve cardigan is especially useful when you want warmth without covering the whole outfit. It adds softness over a dress, shape with high-waisted trousers and a relaxed luxury feel with denim.

The Nano cardigan has a cropped, relaxed fit that sits neatly around the waist. This makes it ideal for balancing fuller skirts, wide-leg trousers and high-rise denim.

The deep V neckline gives the cardigan a more open, flattering shape. When worn buttoned, it becomes a soft knitted top with a clean front. When worn open, it works as a light cardigan over sleeveless pieces.

The short sleeves are designed with a gentle drape rather than a tight fit. This gives the cardigan softness around the arms and keeps the whole shape easy, airy and comfortable.

Nano is knitted from a luxurious blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the cardigan softness and a smooth hand feel, while the lambswool adds warmth, structure and natural durability.

The 9gg / 2ply knit construction gives Nano a lighter feel than chunkier knitwear. It is soft and cosy, but never heavy. This makes it perfect for transitional weather, indoor layering, travel outfits and cooler summer evenings.

It is luxury knitwear with an easy attitude — delicate in appearance, but practical enough to wear often.

A cropped cardigan is a clever piece because it changes the proportion of an outfit. Instead of covering everything, it sits higher on the body and gives shape to the waist.

Nano works beautifully with high-waisted pieces because it does not create extra bulk around the hips. It also layers well over dresses, where a longer cardigan might feel too heavy or hide the shape of the outfit.

This makes Nano a perfect choice if you want button cardigan knitwear that feels modern, feminine and easy to style.

Nano is for someone who likes knitwear that feels light, pretty and practical. It is ideal if you want the softness of a cashmere cardigan, but in a shorter and more modern shape.

It suits women who enjoy versatile pieces. Wear it buttoned with trousers for a clean daytime look, open over a dress for soft layering, or with denim for an easy weekend outfit.

This cardigan is especially good for spring, early autumn, holidays, indoor warmth and days when you want a gentle layer without feeling wrapped up.

To keep your Nano short sleeve cardigan soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care.

Hand wash cold or dry clean.
Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent.
Fasten the buttons before washing.
Do not wring or twist the knit.
Gently reshape the neckline, sleeves and cropped hem while damp.
Lay flat to dry naturally.
Store folded rather than hanging to protect the cropped shape and shoulder line.

Can the Nano cardigan be worn as a top?

Yes. The cropped shape and three-button front make Nano easy to wear buttoned as a soft knitted top, especially with high-waisted trousers or skirts.

Why choose a short sleeve cardigan instead of a classic long sleeve cardigan?

A short sleeve cardigan gives lighter coverage and more styling flexibility. It works well in transitional weather, indoors, or layered over dresses and camisoles without feeling too warm.

Does the cropped length work with high-waisted trousers?

Yes. Nano is designed to sit neatly at the waist, which makes it especially flattering with high-rise denim, tailored trousers and skirts.

Is the deep V neckline easy to wear?

The deep V neckline creates a flattering open shape. It can be worn alone as a knit top or layered over a fine vest or camisole for extra coverage.

What does 9gg / 2ply mean for this cardigan?

The 9gg / 2ply construction gives Nano a finer, lighter knit than a chunky cardigan. It feels breathable, smooth and easy to layer.

Are the short sleeves fitted or loose?

The short sleeves have a soft relaxed drape, giving ease through the arm rather than a tight fitted feel.

Is Nano a good cardigan for spring and summer evenings?

Yes. Its lightweight knit and short sleeves make it ideal for adding gentle warmth over dresses, camisoles or sleeveless tops when temperatures cool.

How should I store a cropped cashmere blend cardigan?

Store it folded rather than hanging. This helps protect the cropped shape, shoulder line and soft knitted structure over time.

Is this jumper suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The blend of cashmere and lambswool gives the jumper a luxurious feel while making it practical for regular wear.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Why This Button Knit Vest Stands Apart

  • Ribbed texture adds depth, stretch and a flattering vertical line
  • Five-button front gives more styling options than a pull-on vest
  • Capped shoulders soften the sleeveless shape
  • Side splits help the hem sit easily over shirts and trousers
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend gives warmth, softness and structure
  • Useful as a top, light layer or under-jacket knit
  • Easy to style through spring, autumn and cooler indoor days
  • Designed for women who like practical knitwear with quiet character

Shaby is designed to give the look of a waistcoat, the softness of knitwear and the ease of a cardigan. The button front lets you choose how polished or relaxed you want the vest to feel. Fasten every button for a neat knitted top, leave the neckline slightly open, or wear it undone over a crisp shirt.

The capped shoulders are an important detail. They give more coverage than a narrow sleeveless knit, creating a softer line across the upper body while keeping the arms free.

Side splits at the hem make the fit more flexible. They allow the vest to sit comfortably over longer shirts, high-waisted trousers, skirts and layered pieces without pulling tightly at the hips.

Knitted in an 8 Gauge / 2 Ply cashmere blend, Shaby has a soft ribbed handle with enough structure to hold its shape. The cashmere adds smoothness and a luxurious feel, while the lambswool brings warmth, breathability and natural resilience.

The ribbed knit texture gives the garment gentle stretch and definition. It makes the vest feel cosy without becoming heavy, and helps the button placket and hem sit neatly when worn.

This is a useful piece for changing seasons because it warms the body while leaving the arms light and unrestricted.

A sleeveless cashmere knit is one of the most practical pieces in a layered wardrobe. It gives softness and warmth where you need it, without adding bulk under coats, jackets or blazers.

Shaby works especially well because it can be styled in several ways. It can look smart over a shirt, relaxed over a T-shirt, cosy over a fine roll neck, or minimal when worn buttoned as a knitted top.

The button knit vest shape also feels more versatile than a plain pullover vest. You can open it, close it, layer it or use it as the main piece of the outfit.

This ribbed knit vest is for women who enjoy thoughtful layering and natural fibres. It is ideal if you want something lighter than a jumper, softer than a tailored waistcoat and more interesting than a plain sleeveless top.

Wear Shaby with wide-leg trousers for a clean modern look, with denim for easy weekend dressing, or over a long shirt for a more creative silhouette. It also works beautifully under a jacket because there are no sleeves to bunch or add bulk.

It is a small wardrobe piece with real range: simple, tactile, easy to wear and quietly distinctive.

To keep your button knit vest soft, neat and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Fasten the buttons before washing or storing
  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not wring or twist the garment
  • Reshape the button placket, capped shoulders and side splits while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the ribbed structure

What makes Shaby a button knit vest?

Shaby has a sleeveless ribbed knit shape with a functional five-button front. It can be worn closed like a knitted top or open as a soft layering piece.

Can I wear this vest on its own?

Yes. The button front and capped shoulders make Shaby easy to wear as a sleeveless cashmere knit top, especially with high-waisted trousers, denim or skirts.

What can I layer underneath it?

Shaby works well over shirts, blouses, fine roll necks, long-sleeve tops, camisoles and simple T-shirts. The sleeveless shape makes it easy to adapt through different seasons.

Does the ribbed knit vest feel fitted?

The ribbing gives shape and gentle structure, but the overall fit is comfortable rather than tight. It is designed to skim and layer easily.

Why are capped shoulders useful?

Capped shoulders give a little more coverage than a narrow vest. They soften the sleeveless shape and make the garment feel more finished across the upper body.

Are the buttons functional?

Yes. The five buttons can be opened or closed, giving you several styling options depending on the layer underneath and the look you want.

What do the side splits do?

The side splits help the hem move naturally and sit comfortably over trousers, skirts or longer shirts without pulling around the hips.

Is this cashmere blend knit vest warm?

Yes. The 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend gives gentle warmth and softness, while the sleeveless design keeps the vest light and easy to layer.

Which colour is most versatile?

Stone is the easiest neutral for everyday wear. Chalk Blue feels fresh and soft, Teal adds depth, and Fir Green gives a richer, earthy look.

Can this vest be worn with smart outfits?

Yes. Style it over a crisp shirt with tailored trousers for a polished look, or wear it buttoned with simple jewellery for a softer smart-casual outfit.

How should I care for the button front?

Fasten the buttons before washing, avoid pulling the placket out of shape, and dry the vest flat so the front edge stays neat.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Why This Dropped Sleeve Gilet Stands Out

  • Distinctive dropped sleeve shape with a soft, modern outline
  • Generous arm openings that make layering feel effortless
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend for natural warmth and softness
  • Longer back hem for easy coverage and movement
  • Side splits to help the gilet sit neatly over shirts and dresses
  • Rolled edges for a relaxed, minimal finish
  • Works across seasons as light, breathable sleeveless knitwear
  • One-size fit designed to drape rather than cling

Rumi is shaped with a dropped sleeve line rather than a narrow armhole, which gives the gilet its relaxed and slightly architectural character. It covers the shoulder softly, then opens generously through the arm so you can layer underneath without feeling restricted.

The curved hem gives the piece movement from the side, while the longer back length adds a little extra coverage. This makes the gilet especially easy to wear over longer shirts, dresses and fine knits.

The side splits stop the hem from feeling tight or boxy. They allow the knit to fall naturally, so the silhouette stays soft, fluid and comfortable throughout the day.

Rumi is knitted from a soft 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. The cashmere brings a gentle, luxurious hand feel, while the lambswool gives warmth, body and everyday resilience.

The 8 Gauge knit has enough substance to feel cosy, but the sleeveless shape keeps it light and easy to wear indoors. It adds warmth through the body without creating bulk around the arms.

This makes Rumi a useful piece for transitional weather, travel days, cool evenings and layered winter outfits when you want comfort without the heaviness of a full jumper.

A women’s knit gilet is one of the most useful layering pieces because it gives warmth while keeping the arms free. Rumi takes that idea further with a wider, softer dropped sleeve shape that feels more contemporary than a classic fitted vest.

It adds texture without covering your whole outfit. A shirt collar, fine sleeve, dress shape or roll neck can still be seen underneath, which makes styling feel more personal and less heavy.

Choose Rumi when you want knitwear that changes the mood of an outfit quickly — softer than a jacket, lighter than a jumper, and more interesting than a plain sleeveless layer.

Rumi is for someone who loves relaxed luxury and easy layering. It suits women who want natural fibres, softness and warmth, but prefer a shape that feels open, breathable and modern.

Wear it over a crisp white shirt for a clean everyday look, over a fine roll neck when the weather is cooler, or over a dress when you want warmth without losing the dress shape underneath.

It is especially good for women who like simple outfits with one strong design detail. The dropped sleeve silhouette gives Rumi character without making it difficult to wear.

To keep your Rumi dropped sleeve gilet soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the arm openings, side splits and curved hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to help protect the dropped sleeve shape

What makes Rumi a dropped sleeve gilet?

Rumi has generous arm openings that fall softly from the shoulder, creating a dropped sleeve effect. This gives more drape and coverage than a narrow sleeveless vest.

Is this the same as a normal knit vest?

No. A traditional vest usually sits closer around the armhole. Rumi is wider, softer and more relaxed, making it better for layering over shirts, dresses and fine knitwear.

Can I wear this women’s knit gilet over a shirt?

Yes. Rumi works beautifully over shirts because the open armholes give plenty of space for sleeves and the side splits help the hem sit comfortably.

Does the gilet feel oversized?

Rumi has a relaxed one-size fit, but it is designed to drape rather than swamp the body. The curved hem and side splits help the shape feel light and intentional.

Is Rumi warm enough for cooler days?

Yes. The cashmere and lambswool blend gives soft natural warmth, while the sleeveless shape keeps it breathable and easy to layer.

What should I wear underneath a dropped sleeve gilet?

Try a fine roll neck, crisp cotton shirt, long-sleeve top, simple dress or lightweight jumper. Smooth layers work especially well under the generous arm openings.

Which colour is best for a statement look?

Fluro Pink is the boldest choice. Teal feels rich and modern, while Orchid Ice and Soft Pink give the gilet a softer, more delicate mood.

Can this sleeveless knitwear be worn indoors?

Yes. Rumi is ideal indoors because it warms the body without adding heavy sleeves, making it comfortable for home, work or travel.

Will the longer back hem cover the hips?

The back length is longer than the front, giving gentle coverage and a modern side profile. It is useful when layering over trousers, dresses or long shirts.

How do I stop the dropped sleeve shape stretching?

Store Rumi folded rather than hanging. After washing, reshape the arm openings and hem while damp, then dry the gilet flat.

Is this gilet suitable for luxury everyday dressing?

Yes. Rumi is soft and refined, but easy to wear. It brings the comfort of cashmere blend knitwear into everyday outfits without feeling formal.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to how fine or dense the knit is, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they influence the garment’s weight, warmth, softness and structure. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.
