BEVERLY | Geometric knit in a quiet pattern

I have not worn a pattern since the nineties. This one does not shout, so I did.

Patterns get abandoned quietly. A print that felt fine at forty starts to look like it is doing too much, so everything narrows down to plain navy, plain beige, plain black, and eventually you are the one in the photograph who blends into the sofa. The trouble is that plain is not actually what most women want, only what feels safe. Beverly is patterned in a way that stays quiet.

The design is geometric rather than floral, which is why it reads as texture from across a room instead of as a print. The yarn is a wool and cashmere blend, so it is warm without the weight and has the soft surface cashmere gives. The cut is relaxed and modern, falling away from the waist rather than following it, and the colors are muted enough that the pattern never becomes the loudest thing you are wearing.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Geometric reads as texture, not as print. Straight lines and repeated shapes sit quietly, which is exactly what a floral does not do.
• Cashmere in the blend changes the feel. Warm without bulk, and soft enough at the neck that you are not aware of the sweater all day.
• Relaxed through the middle. It falls from the shoulder, so the pattern lies flat rather than being pulled out of shape across the stomach.
• Three quiet colors. Beige, Navy and Purple, each muted enough that the pattern stays an accent rather than a statement.

How it fits

Relaxed and true to size, in XS through 2XL. Your usual size gives you the cut shown. If you are between two, take the larger one: a geometric pattern distorts when the knit is stretched, so the extra room keeps the lines straight. The returns below cover it if the size is wrong.

I was nervous about the pattern at 66 and it turned out to be the most complimented thing I own. Lurline D., Tucson

You can feel the cashmere immediately. It is nothing like the acrylic ones I have been buying. Pauline S., Naples
