…………In a season of many new Whisper Knit styles…..the SPLIT COLLAR, A390227, is the newest being offered…………..It has an ENR body and sleeve, and it has fully fashioned armholes. The ribbed cuff is approx. 4 inches wide with a 3/8 inch tubular which attaches the cuff to the sleeve [photo bottom left]……..It is the COLLAR however that gives the sweater its’ pizzazz!……..It is 4 1/2 inches high when fully extended, but when it is folded over it has a 1 3/4 inch stand, making the fold over collar approx. 2 1/2 inches……When it folds over it naturally splits open….The sweater is approx. 24 1/2 inches long for the XXS…….This Bisque WK sweater will match perfectly to the WK Big Deal Cardigan, and the WK midi skirt……If you look closely at the photos of the WK skirt [on the top row] you will see I have it on the form backwards with the Tubular and slit in the front….just another way to wear it [you can even wear it with the slit over one leg creating a front and back panel]……..The Split Collar has the look of a turtleneck, but it isn’t quite as high as a classic TN. The split neck gives the look of a WING COLLAR……….It has a very Town & Country look….very sportive, but still very classy……..It is a collar that works under EVERYTHING!….from the a fore mentioned BD Cardigan, the Bisque Riding Jacket, and the Bisque tweed jacket…….It is super chic when mixed with BLACK like the black cardigan and the riding jacket….or GREY, and NAVY. Any black jacket will look stunning with Bisque including your trenches, leather and suede…..real or faux………When you get invited again to a “dressy/ casual” party the embroidered Latte skirt and the sweater is just what dressy/casual means. It is the perfect thing to wear to at home parties with family and friends……and so COMFORTABLE!……As I was playing with different accessories, I perchance saw the FANTASY BLOSSOM NECKLACE in the GLASS GUNMETAL BEADS…..I put it on the form with the new Bisque Tweed V-neck jacket, the Bisque sweater, and the grey Ponte Boot Cut pant…..WOW!……I think is looks INCREDIBLE….just fantastic for when you want to raise the Fashion bar several notches!………….I know you will enjoy this new style very much, and I’m sure you will be reaching for it quite often for years to come……………enjoy………………..much Love…………………….Louis
Hi Louis, Thanks for all the heart you put into this blog. For it to have all the pics and detail takes time. I appreciate the long hours you give us. And aren’t these sweaters wonderful! They will make such nice gifts but three for me right out of the gate!
You’re very welcome Pecan Cookie…..I enjoy doing it.
Love this new style! Not as “hot” looking as a turtleneck, so in Florida I think these are something I’ll wear even if it’s just a little cool out.
I guess I’ll have to get all three colors as I have the bisque cardi and tweed blazer, the caramel solid and plaid blazers, and well, black is a must-have.
I just love those flower blossom necklaces. I have the black. Maybe one day I can pick up another color.
Another must have in every single color. I love this split neck sweater – such a fun sporty yet elegant look and in our favorite whisper knit. This has been one great fall collection with a beautiful color palate. I love mixing and matching the new pieces plus bringing out the vintage Linea favorites to give them a fresh look. Thank you, Louis – it’s been good for the soul to have beautiful things to wear when we have been caught up in these uncertain times.
