Fougère
Fougère is a sweater and jacket pop and vintage inspired. It is loose and boxy, with almost straight sleeves and buttons on the center front. How interesting you say? Fougère shows a mix of shapes that can be color-blocked, in the front and in the back, and in these shapes, two in-seam pockets are concealed on the front. But also, do notice the patches on the elbows that (re) shape the silhouette. A heavy sweatshirting will give a vintage vibe but a light knit and topstitching will elevate it to elegance; even cotton or linen can give it a very summery look! The pattern is essentially sewn in straight lines and not in stretch stitching. The extra feature: an alphabet to print and a big flower design to create the logo of your envy on the back of the sweater!
