The round neckline is tipped with a subtle contrast rib, and the long sleeves flow straight from the body for an easy, laid-back fit. A deep rib at the hem gives gentle structure and is finished with a clean contrast edge, echoed at the cuffs.

Renee Contrast Trim Jumper – Cashmere Mix Knitwear

The Renee contrast trim jumper brings colour, softness and structure together in one easy piece of luxury knitwear. Designed with a relaxed square body, a neat round neckline and long sleeves that flow directly from the bodice, Renee has a laid-back shape with a beautifully finished edge.

Knitted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, this jumper feels warm, breathable and soft without being heavy. The contrast detail is small but important: a fine colour line frames the ribbed neck, cuffs and hem, giving the whole jumper a sharper, more modern finish.

Seen here in Oatmeal with Rust, Renee has a calm natural base lifted by a warm earthy trim. The same design is also available in Silver Marl with Turmeric for a cooler marl tone with a brighter colour accent. Wear it with denim, tailored trousers or relaxed weekend layers when you want comfort with a little visual energy.

Available Cashmere, Lambswool Colour Options

Renee is available in two distinctive colourways: Oatmeal/Rust and Silver Marl/Turmeric. Oatmeal/Rust feels warm, natural and earthy, with the rust edge adding depth to the soft neutral base.

Why This Contrast Trim Jumper Stands Out

  • Soft cashmere and lambswool blend with a warm, breathable feel
  • Contrast colour edging at the neck, cuffs and hem
  • Relaxed square silhouette that skims rather than clings
  • Round neckline with a neat ribbed finish
  • Long sleeves grown from the bodice for an easy dropped-sleeve effect
  • Deep ribbed hem for gentle weight and structure
  • Ribbed cuffs finished with a fine contrast line
  • 7 Gauge / 3 Ply knit for a cosy but not bulky handle
  • Two colour combinations with very different moods
  • A cashmere mix jumper designed for everyday luxury

Renee is built around a relaxed square shape. The body sits wide and easy, giving the jumper a soft boxy outline without feeling oversized in a heavy way. The length is neat enough to wear loose over trousers, while the ribbed hem gives the base of the jumper a little weight and definition.

The sleeves extend from the bodice, creating a gentle dropped-sleeve effect that looks relaxed from the front and smooth from the side. In the uploaded images, the sleeve line falls naturally from the shoulder rather than sitting as a sharp set-in seam, which gives Renee its easy, casual drape.

The contrast trim is used with restraint. A fine coloured edge appears at the round neckline, the cuff openings and the lower hem. It is not a stripe jumper, but the colour detail gives the design a clear identity and makes the simple shape feel more considered.

Renee is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the jumper softness and a smooth luxury feel, while the lambswool adds warmth, body and natural resilience for regular wear.

The 7 Gauge / 3 Ply construction gives this jumper a slightly more substantial feel than a very fine lightweight knit. It has enough presence to hold the square shape and deep ribbed trims, but it still feels comfortable, breathable and easy to layer.

The main body has a smooth knitted surface, while the collar, cuffs and hem are ribbed for texture and structure. This mix of smooth knit and rib detail gives Renee a clean finish without making the design feel plain.

A contrast trim jumper is perfect when you want something simple, but not ordinary. The shape remains timeless and easy to wear, while the coloured edging adds a small design detail that catches the eye.

Renee works especially well because the contrast is placed exactly where the garment needs definition: around the neckline, at the cuffs and along the hem. These edges frame the jumper and make the relaxed shape look intentional.

It is a strong choice if you like luxury knitwear that feels calm, wearable and quietly individual. The colour trim gives personality without overpowering the softness of the cashmere blend.

Renee is for someone who likes knitwear with comfort, shape and a little unexpected detail. It suits women who prefer relaxed pieces, but still want the garment to look finished and thoughtfully designed.

Wear Oatmeal/Rust with indigo denim, cord trousers or warm neutral layers for an earthy everyday look. Choose Silver Marl/Turmeric with navy, charcoal, cream or soft grey when you want the colour edge to feel brighter and more graphic.

This jumper is useful across seasons: cosy enough for cool days, relaxed enough for weekends, and polished enough to wear with smarter trousers when you want luxury knitwear without formality.

To keep your Renee contrast trim jumper soft, clean-edged 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 round neckline, cuffs and deep ribbed hem while damp
  • Pay attention to the contrast edges so they dry flat and even
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to help protect the square body and sleeve line

What is the best focus keyword for the Renee jumper?

A strong focus keyword for this product is contrast trim jumper. It describes the most visible design feature while still being natural for customers searching for distinctive knitwear.

What makes Renee different from a plain round neck jumper?

Renee has a relaxed square body, extended sleeve shape and fine contrast edging at the neckline, cuffs and hem. These details give it more character than a simple plain crew or round neck jumper.

Is Renee a cashmere mix jumper?

Yes. Renee is made from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving it softness, warmth and a luxury feel with enough structure for everyday wear.

How does the Oatmeal/Rust colourway look?

Oatmeal/Rust has a soft beige oatmeal base with warm rust edging. The effect is natural, earthy and quietly colourful rather than bright or loud.

What is the Silver Marl/Turmeric option like?

Silver Marl/Turmeric has a cooler grey marl base with a warmer yellow-toned trim. It feels fresher and more graphic than Oatmeal/Rust.

Does Renee have dropped shoulders?

The sleeves extend from the bodice, creating a relaxed dropped-sleeve effect. This gives the jumper an easy line through the shoulder and upper arm.

Is the jumper fitted or loose?

Renee has a relaxed, square silhouette. It is designed to skim the body with an easy boxy shape rather than sit tightly against it.

What does 7 Gauge / 3 Ply mean for this jumper?

7 Gauge / 3 Ply gives Renee a cosy, slightly more substantial knit than a very fine jumper. It helps the body, cuffs and ribbed hem hold their shape while staying soft and wearable.

Why does the jumper have a deep ribbed hem?

The deep ribbed hem gives the relaxed body more structure at the base. It helps the jumper sit neatly while adding texture and weight to the silhouette.

Can I wear Renee over a shirt?

Yes. The relaxed square body and round neckline make it easy to layer over a shirt, fine top or thermal base layer without feeling too tight.

Which size should I choose?

Choose S/M for an easier neat fit and M/L if you prefer more room through the chest and body. Both sizes are designed to feel relaxed.

How should I protect the contrast edges?

After washing, smooth the neckline, cuffs and hem into shape while damp. Dry the jumper flat so the contrast edging stays even and does not stretch.

Lula Knitted Vest – Layering Knit

The knitted vest Lula is a clean, modern layer with a soft buttermilk look and a beautifully useful shape. Designed with a round ribbed neckline, open slashed armholes and a gently stepped hem, it gives warmth through the body while keeping the outfit light, easy and free around the arms.

From the front, Lula has a simple sleeveless outline with a smooth knitted body and strong ribbed trims. From the side, the high-low shape becomes more visible: the front sits slightly shorter, while the back falls longer with neat side vents for movement. This gives the vest a flattering drape without making it feel oversized or heavy.

Knitted in a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, this cashmere knitted vest feels soft, warm and naturally breathable. Wear it over a crisp shirt, fine roll neck, cotton tee or long-sleeve dress for understated luxury knitwear that works from quiet weekdays to relaxed weekends.

Why This Knitted Vest Belongs in a Layered Wardrobe

  • Round ribbed neckline gives the vest a clean, finished frame
  • Slashed armholes create space for shirts, tees and fine knits underneath
  • Shorter front and longer back create a flattering high-low proportion
  • 7cm side vents help the vest sit smoothly over layers
  • Ribbed trims add structure without making the shape stiff
  • Sleeveless design gives warmth without sleeve bulk
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend feels soft, breathable and naturally warm
  • A versatile alternative to a full jumper or cardigan

Lula is built around proportion. The front view shows a simple round-neck vest with a straight, calm body, but the profile view reveals the detail that makes it special: a longer back hem and side vents that give the knit movement.

The armholes are slashed and finished with a generous 3.5cm rib, creating a clean border around the shoulder and side body. This gives enough room to layer over a shirt or slim knit without pulling, while still keeping the outline neat.

The shorter front helps the vest sit easily at the hip, especially with high-waisted trousers or skirts. The longer back brings soft coverage, making Lula feel relaxed, balanced and practical without becoming bulky.

Lula is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, a blend chosen for softness, warmth and everyday resilience. The cashmere gives the vest a gentle, luxurious handle, while the lambswool adds bounce, body and natural insulation.

The knitted surface looks clean and tactile, with ribbing at the neck, armholes and hem to help the shape hold neatly. It feels warm enough to add comfort on cooler days, but the sleeveless construction keeps it breathable and easy to wear indoors.

This is the kind of luxury knitwear that works hard in a wardrobe: soft enough to feel special, simple enough to wear often, and structured enough to layer beautifully.

A knitted vest is useful because it adds warmth exactly where you need it, without covering the arms or hiding the layers underneath. Lula gives that practical idea a more refined finish with its ribbed trims, high-low hem and soft natural-fibre blend.

Compared with a jumper, it feels lighter and easier to style through changing weather. Compared with a cardigan, it gives a cleaner uninterrupted front. The result is a piece that can look minimal, relaxed or quietly smart depending on what you wear underneath.

It is especially good for transitional dressing, travel layering and outfits where you want softness without heaviness.

Lula is for women who like their knitwear simple, useful and beautifully made. It suits anyone who wants a layering piece that can be worn over shirts, long-sleeve tops, roll necks or dresses without feeling too warm or restrictive.

Style the Buttermilk colour with soft denim, ivory trousers, navy, camel or charcoal for a calm tonal look. Choose stronger shades such as Rust, Fir Green or Turmeric when you want the same clean shape with more colour.

This sleeveless knitwear piece is ideal for workdays, weekends, countryside layering, cool spring mornings and autumn outfits that need warmth but not bulk.

To keep your Lula knitted vest soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Wash with similar colours only
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the neckline, armhole trims, side vents and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder and armhole shape

What makes Lula a knitted vest?

Lula has a sleeveless body, round ribbed neckline and open slashed armholes, giving it the structure of a vest with the softness of luxury knitwear.

Is Lula made from cashmere?

Yes. Lula is made from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, giving softness, warmth and breathability with enough structure for layering.

How does the high-low hem fit?

The front bodice is shorter, while the back falls longer. This creates a relaxed high-low line that gives coverage at the back while keeping the front easy to style.

What are slashed armholes?

Slashed armholes are open, clean-cut arm openings finished with rib trim. On Lula, they make layering easier and give the vest its modern sleeveless shape.

Can I wear this vest over a shirt?

Yes. The roomy armholes and side vents make Lula ideal over shirts, blouses, fine roll necks and long-sleeve tops.

Does the Buttermilk colour look warm or bright?

The Buttermilk shade shown in the images has a soft creamy tone. It feels lighter than oatmeal but warmer than pure white, making it easy to pair with neutrals.

Are the side vents only decorative?

No. The 7cm side vents help the vest move with the body and sit smoothly over layers, especially when worn with trousers or shirts underneath.

Is this sleeveless knitwear suitable for winter?

Yes, especially as a layering piece. It adds warmth through the body while keeping the arms free, so it works well under coats or over fitted base layers.

Which size should I choose?

Lula is available in S/M and M/L. Choose S/M for a neater fit or M/L if you prefer more ease through the chest and layering room.

How should I style a knitted vest?

Wear it over a white shirt for a clean look, over a fine roll neck for warmth, with denim for weekends, or over a simple dress for a softer layered outfit.

Will the ribbed armholes keep their shape?

With gentle care, yes. Reshape the armhole trims while damp and dry the vest flat to help preserve the rib structure.

What makes Lula different from a basic sleeveless jumper?

Lula has a more considered shape, with a round ribbed neck, slashed armholes, side vents and a longer back hem. These details make it easier to layer and more flattering from the side.
