Pull One Over

Boxy

A wide cut complements high-waisted trousers—bonus points for an exaggerated sleeve.

Funnel Neck

Try a relaxed take on the turtleneck. We love a striped iteration with jeans for easy chic.

Oversize

A generous silhouette looks cool atop flowy dresses, fitted denim or sleek skirts.

Crew Neck

Forever classic, a crewneck ensures polish—it doesn't get better than a soft cashmere version.

Turtleneck

The ultimate layering piece feels fresh with vertical ribbing. Go basic black to get the most wear.
