Everything in the drawer is navy, grey or black, and every morning feels the same because of it!

Just imagine reaching past all of that and finding a soft heather purple with a jewel-bright yoke of rose, gold and teal. Now stop imagining, because this is the sweater that breaks the habit — and it is far easier to wear than you expect.

• A Colour You Do Not Own
  Soft heather purple is rare in a closet and surprisingly easy in practice. It sits beautifully with denim, grey, cream and black without clashing with any of them.
• Jewel-Toned Yoke
  Rows of rose, gold, teal and cream are worked across the shoulders in the traditional way and repeat at the cuffs, so the detail carries all the way down the arm.
• Flattering Near The Face
  Purple is one of the kindest colours to skin as it matures — warmer than grey, softer than black, and it makes tired mornings look less tired.
• Warm, Not Heavy
  The knit has loft without weight, which is what lets it keep you warm outdoors and stay comfortable once you are back inside.
• Relaxed Silhouette
  Easy through the bust and waist with ribbed trims that keep the line clean, so it skims rather than clings from shoulder to hip.

If you have avoided purple since some unflattering encounter years ago, this soft heathered version is nothing like it. It is warm, it is gentle, and it is the sweater that will make you look forward to getting dressed again — which is a good deal more than most knits manage.
