Floral Embroidery Pumpkin Round Neck Sweater in Tan

Autumn knitwear usually goes one of two ways: plain, or so heavily themed you can only wear it for two weeks in October. This one sits in the middle. The pumpkin is embroidered rather than printed, worked into a floral design in tones close to the tan ground, so it reads as a considered detail rather than a costume.

The knit is a blend of 55% acrylic and 45% cotton that is slightly stretchy, and the cotton content is why it feels softer against the skin than an all acrylic sweater. Alongside the embroidery there is seam detail through the construction, which gives the body a bit of definition. The cut is easy: about 24 inches long with a 38.6 inch bust in a small, running to 26.4 inches and 46.5 inches in an extra large. Tan is a genuinely useful neutral that sits well with denim, cream, brown and olive.

Wear it with straight leg jeans and boots and you have the whole season handled. Over a collared shirt with the collar showing at the neck it sharpens up for work. With a corduroy skirt and tights it leans into the season properly. Because the embroidery is tonal rather than loud, this is a sweater you can wear well past the pumpkin months without it looking out of place, which is more than most novelty knits can claim.
