Everyone needs a perfect sweater to wear with anything in their wardrobe, right? The classic is a variation of our Paloma design, with additional short rows to lift the back of the neck without ribbing on the outside of the arms, and a slightly longer body and split hem. Like Paloma, this is a simple raglan sweater with a relaxed silhouette. Whether you prefer classic black or something brighter, the modern yet timeless shape of this sweater will make you reach it year after year.
