If you want a real wardrobe basic, something that would go
with everything - in color, design, and feel—and BabyCocktail’s Gin and
Tonic is that sweater! There are still details here, but they are
understated so that the sweater reads as classic and versatile enough for all
sorts of outfits. Distinct cables along each side of the body are given
tails that play into the hem at the hip, and they split under the arm to
create the lines of the yoke. The texture motif is simple to work and
makes a delicate background without being overwhelming. And a soft, comfy
cowl is just cozy. The cable patterns are charted and written out.
