"Y's" 17AW textured turtleneck knit sweater

Y's, which began in 1972 as the first brand created by Yohji Yamamoto, was inspired by the idea of ​​women wearing men's clothing, and has continued to hone its unique pattern making with a focus on functional and elegant everyday wear. We present to you a masterpiece that embodies quiet strength around the neck.

The appeal of this exquisite item is the loosely knitted fabric that traps air and heats up the moment it touches your skin.

The first thing that catches your eye is the turtleneck design that wraps high around the neck. The generous amount of fold creates a natural shadow around the face, and also lifts the centre of gravity of your outfit when you wear an outer layer.

The body is balanced so that it does not cling too tightly to the body, and the fullness that is typical of knitwear does not turn into a tight fit.Instead, it remains three-dimensional, giving it an impressive, neat appearance that suits both men and women.The edges of the cuffs and hem are intentionally not too perfectly trimmed, and a rebellious nuance that is characteristic of Y's is subtly exuded within the neatness.

And as a backdrop for AW 17, Y's Autumn/Winter 2017-18 is described as a collection that goes back to the brand's origins, blurring the boundaries between genders by starting with men's clothing and adjusting the sizing, while reinterpreting military and uniform elements. This knitwear also plays a role in bringing the mood of that time into everyday life, in the sense that it combines warmth and elegance while stripping away decoration.

The turtleneck format is not only warm, but also practical as it allows for space to be designed around the face so that it does not interfere with the collar of a jacket or coat, improving the precision of layering.Furthermore, the shadows of the knit create a presence that stands on its own, so even a minimalist outfit does not feel lacking, which is an added value unique to this item.

To style it, tuck it into a long coat or tailored jacket and balance the centre of gravity with loose-fitting slacks, which will create a dignified mood with the raised neckline. Pair it as an inner layer with a voluminous skirt or dress, and the texture of the knit will add depth, creating a quiet, modern look.

Please take this opportunity.
