THE STRIDE SWEATER
Posted:
Nothing says easy-to-wear, transeasonal top more than the Stride Sweater. This typical taylor twist on a long sleeve top has been taken to another level with elongated and asymmetrical elements which are the hallmarks of this piece. The lightweight silk cotton blend material makes it an easy to wear and care for as we work through the in between seasons.
The taylor team has loved playing around in their Stride Sweaters this season as the simplistic yet classic style makes it an easy piece to dress up or down and keeps the team feeling cool on those warm summer days, or warm layered up with extra pieces in winter.
Silk cotton is as it sounds, the perfect blend of both fibers, combining the positive characteristics of each into a single textile. This makes for a lightweight, silky, and comfortable weave resulting in a fabric that can be delicately hand-washed and is ready for everyday wear. The silk cotton fabric has a soft, sturdy and silken like drape. This incredible fabric has a lustre and slight translucent quality that allows for shaping and layering underneath.

The Stride Sweater is the perfect top to multitask in your wardrobe this season, teaming up with nearly every style. Pam styles hers with the Extension Tank and a Silk Mesh Camber Tunic, then with her Washed Quartz Pants. The Body & Soul Heel from Puro Secret shoes are perfect heels to add extra height to your look while also being super comfortable.
Going out for brunch is a taylor favourite summer pastime and the Stride Sweater is the perfect piece for this casual occasion. Courtney from the online team pairs hers with the Extension Tank and Narrative Skirt for a breezy layer and the Forever Sneaker for the ultimate street-style chic finish. The Particle Pouch is the perfect relaxed style for those days when you only need to carry your phone, card and glasses, and for light accessorising the Maske K7 sunglasses will finish off this look beautifully.
Summer workwear can tend to be a little tricky but the Stride Sweater is the top we have all been waiting for. The light silk cotton material ensures you'll stay cool and calm all day with the beautiful Link Dress paired underneath for a sophisticated office chic outfit. The Art and Soul Boots are to die for, and the perfect addition to this as it will create a flawless elongation of the dress as the eyes are drawn downwards towards the feet. Accessories are a must and we would be lost without our Maske M5 sunglasses from Kuboraum or the Single Sweet Bead Bracelet for that little bit of sparkle.
