Tied Surplice Long Sleeve Sweater in Apricot

A surplice front is the quiet trick behind this sweater. One side crosses over the other and ties, which creates a soft v at the neck and draws a diagonal line across the body instead of a flat horizontal one. That single detail is why a plain knit like this reads as flattering on almost everyone, and why the Perfee version feels more considered than the price of a basic sweater usually buys.

The knit is a blend of 50% acrylic, 25% polyamide and 2% polyester with a slightly stretchy hand, so it has give through the body and settles back rather than stretching out at the elbow. The cut is short. In a size S the top measures 19.3 in in length with a 37 in bust, a 15.2 in shoulder and a 24 in sleeve, and it runs to 20.3 in long with a 40.9 in bust at L, so it sits at or above the waist and pairs naturally with a high rise jean or a midi skirt.

The apricot tone is warm and soft, which makes it an easy partner for cream, camel, brown and denim, and a nice contrast against black. Wear it on its own with jeans and boots, or layer it under a longer coat when the weather turns. Because the tie sits at the front, keep necklaces short or skip them entirely so nothing competes with the neckline.
