    Finished with a relaxed turtleneck, the sweater delivers warmth and comfort without feeling restrictive, making it ideal for layering through colder months. Whether styled with denim, tailored trousers, or layered over dresses, it brings an easy sense of polish while still feeling relaxed and wearable.
