In fashion, you know something is a sound investment when you see it being worn year after year, and that’s certainly the case with Totême’s striped sweater. First released in 2019, the jumper sparked a Breton-knitwear movement that hasn’t slowed in the slightest over the past three years. As we head into autumn, Instagram’s finest have begun digging out their Totême originals in preparation for the colder temperatures. But what is it that makes this particular knit so special?
While I’m yet to invest in it myself, I have seen it first-hand, and I can confirm it’s essentially a style trifecta: It’s ageless, versatile, and premium-looking. Of course, it should look premium—it’s designer, and the price reflects that, but even I, someone who is famously stingy with their money, can see it is a worthy investment. In addition to the impressive qualities listed above, it’s also got an incredibly chic silhouette, with just the right amount of oversizing. The wide sleeves and high neckline set it apart from other striped sweaters on the scene, making it all the more covetable.
