Floral Fusion Sweater

It’s not often that a jumper comes along and makes you rethink everything you thought you knew about sleeve drama. Here’s the one that does it with gusto. The silhouette - slouchy, boxy, and oversized - sort of resembles what you wore to your first footy sleepover, but don’t be fooled by its quiet confidence. Two enormously puffed-up sleeves give this piece its unmissable verve. The joyful explosion of tufted applique blooms across the arms makes it clear this is not your run-of-the-mill athleisure knit. The arms themselves are bold, highly contrasting, and if you peer closely - there’s plenty of detail to get lost in.

The solid jersey body with wide ribbed cuffs and neckline trims keeps things sporty, but the sleeves? It’s like someone decided to smother them with grandma’s entire springtime garden for maximum effect.

Who says grown-ups have to live life restrained? Or that sweatshirts have to be boring? Boxy and oversized, this pullover has bags of attitude - and no one would dare call it a ‘basic’ after seeing those balloon sleeves! Dropped shoulders and stitched-out seams keep things laid-back while the textured blooms add that pop of whimsy anyone could fall for.

A classic sweatshirt silhouette with bright cuffs ensures this is still going to work with other everyday separates, but all the fun comes from its sleeves. Whether heading out for a relaxed stroll or jazzing up a casual Friday at work, this versatile pullover goes places the standard striped hoodie never could. The blend makes it soft enough for all-day wear and gentle on skin too (80% cotton). If comfort counts as much as style, this one aces both.

And those stripes? They’re meant to look like they were thrown together in a rush but come together beautifully against the large-scale flowers - a subtle statement about being comfortable in one’s skin no matter how much ‘noise’ we put out there.

Puffed-up arms (or oversized silhouettes) never go out of fashion in Australia. There’s just something about them that feels right; maybe it’s their unmistakable nonchalance? And when paired with fitted cuffs and vibrant appliqué motifs… Well, let’s say you’ll stand out even if everyone else is wearing florals too!
