It’s a pretty loose sweater, in order to play with layering and to show the beautiful drape of the garnment. The style is minimalist with some beautiful details: wide collar; decorative double decreases along neckline and sleeves shaping. Elbow lenght and pretty wide sleeves add to the sweater its final touch.
