Melitta Baumeister carries the circle shoulder into fine knitwear with this rib top. Crafted in a warm brushed rib, the design is defined by the rounded, built-up shoulder, which curves outward from the neck and then drops into a narrow sleeve.

The rib is brushed on the inside for warmth and holds a close line through the body and arm, so the shoulder reads as the only volume in the piece. Long sleeves finish without a cuff and the hem sits straight at the hip. Quiet from a distance, structural up close.
