Sliece is defined by its clean, linear elegance. The all-over stripes of post stitches provide a graphic, ”ribbed” look that elongates the frame, yet the choice of yarn ensures the fabric remains airy and full of movement. The silhouette is modern and intentional, featuring dramatic, shaped side slits that serve as an eye-catching design detail. These slits break the clean verticality of the stripes, adding a sharp, architectural edge to the hemline that elevates the sweater from a simple staple to a sophisticated statement piece.
