2026 Update: Statement Contrast
This season, it’s all about volume and contrast. Pair your oversized pullover with striped pyjama pants, barrel cargos, or relaxed tailoring for a look that feels playful yet current. Tonal dressing still exudes sophistication, but mixing textures and proportions gives this knit its modern edge.
Play with Layers
We particularly love styling it with a striped pyjama pant: a solid base with a vertical white stripe, finished with a pop of colour in your socks and layered accessories. Keep the pullover simple to let the base layer make the statement, creating a balanced, effortless ensemble.

Layered Winter Look
For colder days, layer your oversized pullover under a structured coat and finish with a soft scarf. The contrast between the relaxed knit and tailored outerwear creates a balanced silhouette, while the added layers bring warmth without sacrificing style.
Elevated Casual
Pair your oversized pullover with a midi skirt and boots for an effortless, elevated look. The softness of the knit offsets the structure of the skirt, while boots ground the outfit and make it practical for everyday wear.
