"SONIA RYKIEL" Textured knit button-front long cardigan

While lightly embracing the atmosphere of Paris, SONIA RYKIEL infuses the material with intelligence and sex appeal through knitwear, and we introduce a piece that elevates everyday life with sophistication.

This masterpiece's charm lies in its composition, quietly transforming rich knitting textures into a statement.

First and foremost, the impressive feature is the three-dimensional texture flowing diagonally across the upper body, which prevents it from being just a flat black surface. The way shadows shift with the light makes even the most restrained movements appear elegant.

The neckline is designed with a stand collar that has a moderate height, giving a poised presence around the collar area. The front placket is a button-front style, allowing it to be worn neatly closed as a dress, or opened at the front to be layered like a long cardigan, naturally expanding the layering options.

Additionally, the sleeves feature a change in knitting pattern partway through, which keeps the line along the arm from elongating, and the flare-like cuffs with increased ribbing towards the hands create a quiet drama in balance. Furthermore, the area from the waist down transitions into a calmer knit pattern, enhancing the vertical drape while maintaining the expression of the upper body, and the overall silhouette avoids becoming overly sweet, which is also attractive.

At the lower front, pockets are included to ensure practicality and to lower the visual center of gravity, making even a minimal black less monotonous, and giving a sense of outerwear-like completeness despite being a knit. The buttons are also finished with a subdued sheen, reflecting SONIA RYKIEL's design philosophy of showcasing texture and structure without relying on decoration.

Especially recommended for those looking for a knit that doesn't just end with a sense of relaxation, or for those who want to wear a dress elegantly without leaning too much into femininity, aiming for a tasteful finish. It can serve as a main piece during seasonal transitions and, with some styling tricks, remains a treasured item that can be worn for a long time.

In terms of styling, pairing a sharp long coat with neat wool trousers to emphasize the vertical line creates a poised mood regardless of gender, and coordinating the texture of the footwear with leather shoes or boots makes the knit's expression appear more refined.

Definitely take this opportunity.
