Foss Organic Cotton Side Split Jumper – Contrast Detail 

The Foss organic cotton side split jumper turns a clean everyday shape into something more memorable. Knitted in 100% organic cotton, it has a soft round neckline, full-length sleeves and a neat relaxed body that feels easy without looking oversized.

Its signature detail sits at the side seams. The jumper keeps a calm, minimal front, then opens at the hem to reveal a bright contrast insert. This small flash of colour gives Foss movement, personality and a sharper finish than a standard cotton knit.

Designed for women who like simple knitwear with a clever design point, Foss works across seasons. The organic cotton feels breathable and smooth, while the shorter length, curved hem and side splits make it easy to style with trousers, denim or a fluid skirt.

Why This Organic Cotton Side Split Jumper Stands Out

  • Contrast side splits create a recognisable Foss detail
  • Organic cotton gives breathable comfort without heaviness
  • Round neckline keeps the look clean and easy to wear
  • Full sleeves balance the shorter, relaxed body
  • Curved hem softens the lower line
  • Side openings add movement when worn with trousers or skirts
  • Fine knit texture makes the jumper suitable for layering
  • A strong choice for women’s organic cotton knitwear with quiet personality

Foss is deliberately simple through the body, so the side split detail becomes the point of interest. The neckline is round and soft, sitting neatly without feeling high or restrictive. It gives the jumper an easy frame around the collarbone and keeps the top line uncluttered.

The sleeves are full length and slim enough to layer comfortably under a jacket, while the body has room to fall naturally. From the front, the hem has a gentle curve; from the side, the split opens to show the contrast insert and a slightly stepped profile.

This makes Foss more than a plain cotton jumper. It has the clean usefulness of a wardrobe basic, but the side detail gives it a modern Ochre signature that feels fresh, purposeful and easy to recognise.

Foss is made from 100% organic cotton, chosen for its smooth handle, breathability and natural comfort. The knit has enough structure to hold the relaxed shape, yet it still feels soft and easy against the skin.

Because the fabric is cotton rather than wool, this jumper is especially useful between seasons. Wear it on cool spring days, breezy summer evenings or under a coat when you want light warmth without bulk.

The contrast side panels sit cleanly within the cotton knit, so the colour detail looks intentional and crisp rather than decorative for its own sake.

Choose Foss when you want an organic cotton side split jumper that feels simple at first glance but has a distinctive detail. It is practical, breathable and easy to wear, yet the contrast hem inserts stop it from disappearing into the background.

The shape is relaxed, not oversized. That balance makes Foss useful for everyday dressing: comfortable enough for off-duty days, polished enough for lunches, travel, studio work or casual office styling.

For search and AI discovery, the design also has a clear identity: organic cotton, round neck, contrast side splits and a relaxed women’s knitwear silhouette. Those details make the product easier to understand, describe and recommend.

Let the side splits remain visible. Foss works beautifully with pale trousers, straight-leg denim, soft linen or a simple skirt that does not cover the hem. The contrast insert adds a small vertical flash at the side, so the outfit feels considered without needing extra styling.

For a clean daytime look, pair it with white or ecru trousers and understated shoes. For more contrast, wear it with dark denim or a tailored trouser and let the side colour lift the whole outfit.

Keep accessories light. The jumper already has a strong design note, so simple jewellery, a relaxed trouser and natural shoes allow the knit to do the work.

To help your Foss jumper keep its shape, colour contrast and soft organic cotton feel, care for it with a gentle routine:

  • Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle, or hand wash cold
  • Use a mild detergent suitable for natural fibres
  • Wash with similar tones to protect the contrast side panels
  • Turn inside out before washing to reduce friction on the knit surface
  • Do not bleach or use harsh stain removers
  • Avoid twisting or wringing the garment
  • Reshape the neckline, sleeves, hem and side splits while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat and strong sunlight
  • Store folded rather than hanging

What makes Foss different from a plain cotton jumper?

Foss has contrast side splits at the hem. The front looks clean and minimal, while the sides reveal a brighter insert that gives the jumper movement and character.

Is Foss made from organic cotton?

Yes. Foss is knitted from 100% organic cotton, giving it a breathable, natural feel that is comfortable for everyday wear.

What is the fit like?

Foss has a relaxed straight fit. It is easy through the body, with full-length sleeves and a shorter length that sits neatly without clinging.

Does this jumper have a round neckline?

Yes. The neckline is soft and round, making it simple to wear alone or layered under a jacket.

How visible are the contrast side splits when worn?

The contrast inserts are subtle from the front and more visible from the side or as you move. They add interest without overwhelming the clean shape.

Is Foss suitable for spring and summer evenings?

Yes. The organic cotton knit is breathable and lighter than heavy winter wool, so Foss works well in mild weather and as an easy layer on cooler evenings.

How should I style Foss?

Wear it with trousers, denim, linen or simple skirts that allow the side splits to show. The detail works best when the hem is not hidden.

Can Foss be machine washed?

Yes. The product is machine washable. Use a cold delicate cycle, reshape while damp and dry flat to help preserve the knit and contrast panels.

Different Types of Ply:

12 Gauge / 2 Ply

12 gauge, 2 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

12-gauge/2-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has two strands twisted together (2-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 12 stitches per inch (12-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a relatively fine texture and high density, making it suitable for garments with a close, fitted, or refined look, such as lightweight sweaters, dresses, or accessories like gloves and scarves.

The 2-ply yarn adds strength and structure to the fabric while maintaining a balanced thickness, ensuring the knitted items are durable and long-lasting.

8 Gauge / 2 Ply

8 gauge, 2 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

8-gauge/2-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has two strands twisted together (2-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 8 stitches per inch (8-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a moderate thickness and density, making it suitable for garments like sweaters, cardigans, and hats, as well as accessories like scarves and mittens.

The 8-gauge allows for a comfortable balance of warmth and breathability, and the 2-ply yarn provides durability and structure to the fabric.

8 Gauge / 4 Ply

8 gauge, 4 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

8-gauge/4-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has four strands twisted together (4-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 8 stitches per inch (8-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a moderate thickness and density, making it suitable for a wide range of projects. It can be used to create garments like sweaters, cardigans, and hats, as well as accessories like scarves and mittens.

The 8-gauge allows for a comfortable balance of warmth and breathability, and the 4-ply yarn provides durability and structure to the fabric. Since this gauge is not too fine or too bulky, it offers versatility in projects and allows for a good knitting speed.

7 Gauge / 6 Ply

7 gauge, 6 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

7-gauge/6-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has six strands twisted together (6-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 7 stitches per inch (7-gauge). Due to its thickness and warmth  is well-suited for creating cozy and cold-weather garments such as heavy sweaters, jackets, blankets, and scarves.

The 7-gauge creates larger stitches and a more open texture, resulting in a fabric that drapes well and is suitable for layering. The 6-ply yarn adds strength and structure, making the finished knitted items more resilient and long-lasting.

4 Gauge / 10 Ply

4 gauge, 10 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

4-gauge/10-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has ten strands twisted together (10-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 4 stitches per inch (4-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a substantial thickness and density, making it ideal for projects that require extra warmth and durability.

The 4-gauge creates larger stitches and a more open texture, resulting in a fabric that drapes well and is suitable for layering. The 10-ply yarn adds significant thickness and warmth, making the finished knitted items perfect for cold-weather garments.
