Women's crewneck sweaters

A crewneck forms a circular neckline sitting close to the neck: clean, easy to layer and flattering on every body shape. It works as well worn alone as layered under a coat. A boat neck is wider and more horizontal, opening the shoulders and elongating the silhouette visually, but leaves less room for layering. The crewneck remains the more versatile option of the two. For a sharper, more elongating neckline, discover our V-neck knitwear.

Yes, as long as you choose the right cut. Broad-shouldered shapes benefit from a fitted or straight cut that balances the silhouette. More rectangular shapes gain softness with a relaxed oversized fit. The crewneck neckline itself is neutral: it is the cut and the volume that adapt the piece to each body shape, from the fitted classic to the generous oversized.

Angora is a lightweight fibre that offers soft, enveloping warmth without the heaviness of thick wool. It suits in-between seasons and slightly cool interiors particularly well. For more intense cold, choose a denser knit such as a merino wool or cashmere style. A timeless angora crewneck sweater carries easily from autumn through to spring.

Hand-wash in cold water or machine-wash on a wool cycle (30°C maximum) with a gentle detergent. Avoid machine spin: absorb excess water in a dry towel, then dry flat to keep the shape. Never hang wet on a hanger. For angora, hand-wash only. Find full advice on fibres and washing in our care guides.
