Description
The Taru black open-sides sleeveless women’s sweater is a great piece to add layers to your outfit. You could see it as a different form of a long cardigan. Our inspiration for this eccentric dark fashion item comes partly from a chasuble and a pinafore.
A bit unusual about this black knitted women’s sleeveless sweater is that it is raw edge finished. This way it gives the sweater some unexpected details. The neckline is finished with a ribbed board. The open sides of this sleeveless item have a tie closure.
The nice texture of the waffle knit has a very classical look and combined with the elegant roughness of the raw edge finishings it get a modern look and feel. The raw edge centre front and back seam breaks the classic knit and gives a nice lively detail. The raw edge might fray some more but that’s part of the beauty of this sleeveless women’s sweater with open sides.
How to style this black open-sides sleeveless women’s sweater
This black open-sides sleeveless women’s sweater with raw edge finishings is an easy to wear item. You can play around with it and wear it over long sleeves and shirts for different looks.
For this dark fashion look we combined this long sleeveless sweater over our bamboo unisex turtleneck long sleeve. This piece has extra long sleeves which give this all black look a fun effect. The pinstripe trousers also have extra long legs. The different fabrics work great together, making you look at the different shades of black and difference in textures. Chic, mysterious, fun… This outfit is all of it!
To break with the all black look you could change the turtleneck for a striped longsleeve. Or go for a colored top underneath this sleeveless sweater with open sides. If you want the top part of your look to stay black, you could also go for our petrol colored trousers as a bottom.
Combined with our hydrophilic shirt this waffle knit sleeveless sweater makes an elegant statement. The textures of the cotton and the waffle knit work well together.
Features of waffle knit
Waffle fabric, also known as honeycomb fabric, can be made by either weaving or knitting. It has raised threads that form small square grids which produces a three-dimensional effect, like the pattern of an ultra-miniature breakfast waffle, which is how it gets its name. This style of weave or knit makes fabric more breathable than most, and more absorbent. Waffle knitted fabrics also have thermal qualities.
