The Black Distressed Knit Sweater is worked in an open, loosely woven crochet stitch that leaves small gaps throughout the fabric, so this one reads more sheer than a tightly spun knit. A ribbed band finishes the hem and cuffs, keeping the loose, airy body from losing its shape at the edges.
Balloon sleeves gather in at a fitted wrist cuff, creating some volume through the arm that tapers back down before it reaches the hand. The round crew neckline and cropped length keep the rest of the silhouette simple, letting the sleeve shape and open stitching be the main details.
Layer it over a black bralette or cami so the open weave reads intentional rather than just sheer, and pair it with your go to denim for an easy look. Since it’s solid black, it works as a neutral layering piece under jackets too once the weather turns colder.
