Everyone needs a design that truly brings out their beauty and class. Everyone deserves to feel confident and elegant, even in the most vulnerable places. With our Fearless Pullover design, you can have these and more. The design is highly user-centred and was inspired by the desire to have clothes that raise the self-esteem of its users. This sweater incorporates the protective nature of an oversized knit, which gives you confidence and ensures your warmth and comfort on cooler days. Like your jewellery, it also gracefully reveals your delicacy and sophistication that would leave the crowd around you dazzled. Fearless Pullover is made from La Bien Aimée Corrie Worsted, a natural Non-Superwash yarn base that is gloriously soft for your ease and pleasure.
We recommend a carefully styled combination to get the best out of your Fearless Pullover. Since it has an abundantly cabled appearance, you should wear simple-cut fabric trousers like denim trousers in combination with boots or trainers. Finish up the look by supplementing with a hat and a bag matching one of the shades of your outfit. You also need to remember that a great colour combo is critical when styling this design. And so, when wearing a colour similar to the sample, it looks fantastic when matched with cool purple, blue and grey tones.
We are sure this is the perfect sweater for your beauty and comfort. We hope that you will love it as much as we do!
