ALISTAIR CARDIGAN JAVA

Silky, fitted and made to be seen.

The Alistair Knit in Java by Marle brings a polished finish to everyday knitwear with a beautifully fitted silhouette and a luxurious 100% silk fabrication. The rich Java shade gives this classic shape a warm, sophisticated feel, while the vertical rib construction adds texture and subtly follows the shape of the body.

A classic crew neckline keeps the look clean, while the button-through front gives you the option to wear it fully fastened or slightly open. Short raglan sleeves add a softer, sporty detail to the fitted shape, finished with a neat ribbed hem.

This is the knit that makes getting dressed easy. Tuck it into high-waisted denim for an understated everyday look, pair it with tailored trousers for work, or wear it with a satin skirt and jewellery for dinner. The silk fabrication gives it that little bit of luxury that turns a simple knit into something special.

For work: Pair with tailored trousers and a blazer, keeping the knit tucked in to define the waist.

For evenings: Style with a satin or flowing midi skirt and simple jewellery for a more dressed-up look.

Layered: Wear beneath a blazer or structured jacket when you want the silk texture to add something extra.

CARE

Dry clean only. Silk is delicate, so avoid rough surfaces, snagging and prolonged exposure to moisture. Store folded to help maintain the shape of the knit.
