Product Details

Campus courtyard. Vintage blazer over the shoulders. Mini skirt and loafers. The sweater that makes prep look like it was never not cool. The Prep School Argyle Button-Front Short Sleeve Sweater is a fitted button-front short-sleeve sweater in khaki with a classic argyle pattern, a viscose-blend knit that drapes softly, and a slim, intentional silhouette. The most collegiate, most specific piece in the collection.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

• Classic argyle pattern in a fitted khaki knit — the print that made prep fashion permanent — the argyle pattern is a classic diamond-grid overlay pattern in complementary tones on a khaki or warm olive base — a pattern that has been in continuous use from Scottish knitwear through Ivy League campus fashion through 90s revival through current quiet-luxury and collegiate aesthetics; on a fitted short-sleeve sweater, the argyle reads as deliberate, specific, and fashion-conscious rather than simply patterned; the khaki colorway grounds the argyle in a warm, earthy neutral that pairs seamlessly with navy, burgundy, camel, ivory, and brown — the full range of traditional prep palette — as well as with contemporary neutral dressing over leather, suede, and silk; this is a sweater with a point of view that has been validated by fashion history for approximately a century and remains completely current
• Button-front with short sleeves — the construction details that make this a transitional-season and resort piece, not a cold-weather sweater — the sweater features a button-front placket running the full center length, allowing the sweater to be worn fully buttoned (fitted, collared, completely closed) or partially unbuttoned (open at the chest, layered over a fitted tank or bralette for a relaxed editorial look); the short sleeves position this sweater firmly in the transitional-season, resort, and layering category — it is the sweater for a cool summer evening, an air-conditioned office, a campus autumn afternoon, or a resort morning; it is not a cold-weather insulation piece; the viscose-blend knit (50% viscose, 28% polyester, 22% polyamide) is the same premium fiber family as the Cozy Corner sweater — viscose adds drape, softness, and a subtle sheen; polyamide adds durability and shape retention; the result is a knit that feels significantly more premium than its price and drapes cleanly over the body rather than clinging or stiffening
• A fitted silhouette — this is the most intentionally fitted sweater in the collection, and that is the point — the bust measurements (32.7” at S through 39” at XL, measured flat) confirm a genuinely fitted silhouette — this is not an oversized or relaxed sweater; it is cut to sit close to the body, which is precisely what makes the argyle pattern read cleanly and the button-front placket sit flat; at $52, the Prep School argyle sweater delivers a viscose-blend fitted button-front short-sleeve argyle knit in a considered khaki colorway for under $55 — worn buttoned with a mini skirt and loafers, or unbuttoned over a fitted tank with wide-leg trousers, it is the piece that makes a simple outfit look like it was assembled by someone who has very specific taste

Size Guide (Measurements by inches)

Note: This sweater is fitted and slim — the bust measurements (32.7” at S through 39” at XL, measured flat) run significantly smaller than the oversized knits in the collection. Customers who wear a standard size S through XL should size up one size for ease, or size to their exact bust measurement for a true fitted look. The slight stretch in the viscose blend provides minimal give — size primarily by the flat bust measurement. The button-front placket allows the sweater to be worn fully buttoned or partially open. Short sleeves — not a cold-weather piece; best worn in transitional weather or layered under a blazer or jacket. Machine wash cold.
