Antonine™ | V-Neck Sweater

All of the V, none of the plunge — because the collar makes the neckline instead of a scissor cut.

A V-neck is the shape most women are told suits them: it lengthens the neck and draws the eye up toward the face. The trouble is that almost every one is cut deeper than you want it, so you end up wearing a camisole underneath and adjusting the front all day. The Antonine solves that at the knitting stage. Instead of cutting a plain V and leaving it open, a wide shawl collar is knitted in and folded back on itself — the two folded edges form the long diagonal lines, and the collar sits behind them filling in everything a plain V would leave bare. The same collar stands up at the back of the neck, where the cold actually reaches you. The yarn is fine and smooth rather than chunky, so it is warm without adding width and slides under a coat without bunching at the shoulder, and both the cuffs and the hem are finished with a proper rib so a soft knit keeps its shape.

Why you'll love the Antonine

 
• ✔ The V without the depth — the folded collar makes the line and fills it in behind
 
• ✔ Nothing needed underneath — no camisole, no adjusting the front through the day
 
• ✔ High at the back — the collar stands up behind the neck, where the cold gets in
 
• ✔ Warm without bulk — a fine smooth knit that still fits under a coat
 
• ✔ Ribbed cuffs and hem — so a soft yarn doesn't stretch out or ride up
 
• ✔ Cut easy — falls to the hip, nothing to tuck and nothing gripping at the waist
