MAKEMECHIC Striped Crop Sweater

Folded at the back of a chair, the striped crop sweater waits for a quick change of plan. Its knit lands a clear horizontal line across the waist so tops and high-rise bottoms meet without fuss. The brown colourway reads warm against denim or a wool skirt. Long sleeves finish the silhouette and keep the look anchored when the day cools.

Care takes little time. Wash by the instructions on the label and reshape while damp to keep the stripe line even. Store flat or loosely on a hook to avoid shoulder bumps. Over a season the cropped length is the defining limit: it will sit where it sits, and the rest of an outfit adapts around that cut.

One of 229 on the knits and layers rail in the MAKEMECHIC wardrobe. It also answers to sweaters. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
