A distinctive expression of luxury knitwear, The Elder Statesman’s Culver sweater is crafted from 100% cashmere, offering both weight and softness in equal measure.

The relaxed silhouette, defined by dropped shoulders and extended sleeves, introduces a sense of ease that contrasts with the richness of the fabrication.

Rendered in tonal green, it brings a confident injection of colour to Spring/Summer dressing while remaining grounded in craftsmanship.

Also available in yellow.

A refined take on a house signature, this Gucci sweater carries the brand’s iconic green and red stripe through a clean, structured silhouette. Knitted in Italy from mid-weight wool, it’s cut to a slim fit with a slightly cropped hem, giving it a sharper, more contemporary proportion than a traditional crew knit.

The ribbed trims and classic neckline keep it grounded, while the shortened length lends itself to more considered styling. Worn best with high-waisted trousers or denim, it creates a balanced silhouette that feels both directional and wearable.

A study in restraint, The Row’s ‘Dumbo’ sweater reflects the brand’s commitment to material and form over overt detail. Knitted from pure cashmere, it’s cut to a relaxed silhouette with a soft drape, defined by dropped shoulders and a clean, uninterrupted finish.

The simplicity is deliberate. Worn on its own or layered over a shirt, it brings a sense of ease to tailored trousers or more casual pieces, offering a quieter, more considered approach to dressing — one that reflects the role of restraint in modern menswear.

A more casual, offbeat take on classic knitwear, ERL’s striped crewneck introduces a subtle sense of character through pattern and proportion. Rendered in a dark grey wool-blend, the fine stripes soften the overall look, giving it a slightly nostalgic, worn-in feel.

The silhouette remains simple — ribbed trims and a clean crew neckline — while the embroidered sleeve logo adds a quiet point of distinction. Easy to wear and easy to layer, it lends itself well to relaxed tailoring or denim, offering a lighter, more expressive alternative within the edit.

Slim-Fit Baby Cashmere Sweater

Loro Piana sits at the pinnacle of luxury textiles, and this sweater is a clear expression of that reputation. Knitted from baby cashmere — one of the house’s most prized materials, sourced from the underfleece of Hircus goats — it offers an exceptional level of softness and refinement.

Cut to a slim silhouette with a fine, lightweight knit, it wears close to the body without feeling restrictive. The light-green mélange adds subtle depth, bringing a touch of colour to an otherwise understated piece. It’s a sweater that speaks through material first, best styled simply to allow its quality to take focus.

Ribbed-Knit Cashmere Sweater

The navy tone reinforces its versatility, while the ribbed construction adds subtle texture without disturbing the clean line of the garment. It is cut for a relaxed yet refined silhouette, making it well suited to layering beneath tailoring or wearing simply with trousers — particularly for those looking at dressing for warmth without compromising structure.

A discreet Prada Triangle patch sits at the back of the neckline — a quiet signature detail that keeps the front of the sweater deliberately minimal. As with many of the house’s knitwear pieces, the emphasis is placed on proportion, fabrication and ease rather than overt branding.

the Ricky Sweater

Umit Benan approaches knitwear with a distinct sense of ease—refined yet never rigid. The Ricky sweater captures this balance effortlessly, offering a relaxed silhouette that feels both contemporary and quietly sophisticated.

Its rolled neckline introduces a subtle point of difference, softening the structure and lending the piece an understated, lived-in elegance.

Knitted in Italy from pure cotton, it’s designed with warmer seasons in mind—lightweight, breathable, and versatile. Pieces like this sit alongside linen as one of the most essential fabrics for summer dressing, offering ease without compromising refinement.
