Two-tone pieces flatter more than a single colour ever does — and almost nobody uses it!

Just imagine a warm mustard yoke across the shoulders, falling in a soft painted edge into a cream body marked with fine black strokes. Now stop imagining, because that's this sweater, and the colour sits exactly where it does you the most good.

• Colour Where It Counts
  The gold panel sits at the shoulders and chest, lifting light toward the face. A single flat colour can't do that, which is why this reads as a considered piece rather than a plain one.
• An Inked, Modern Print
  The cream body is marked with small black dashes and wandering lines — closer to brush strokes on paper than to a repeating pattern. It gives the piece a quietly artistic feel.
• Soft Waffle Knit
  The stitch is fine and even, with enough texture to catch the light. It's warm without being heavy, and it keeps the print from looking flat.
• Relaxed Through The Body
  The cut skims instead of clinging, with a dropped shoulder and a gently curved hem that sits just past the hip. Take your usual size for the easy drape you see here, or go one up if you like a little more room. It comes in S through 5XL, and the shape is drafted for each one rather than simply scaled up.
• Black Or Cream Beneath
  The palette is only two colours, so the styling is decided for you: black trousers for something sharper, white or denim for something easier.

Statement knitwear usually has one good outing and then sits still. Because this one is built from two calm colours and a hand-drawn mark, it slips into an ordinary week — and it will be back on you before you've finished admiring it.
