Betty Sweater

This bordeaux knit anchors its drama in a folded, off-the-shoulder collar that transitions into a diagonal rib-knit bodice. The construction relies on side-seam ruching to pull the fabric close to the torso, creating an asymmetrical hemline that disrupts the classic sweater silhouette. It leans into mid-aughts romanticism, trading bulk for a contoured, sculpted fit.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: This garment is constructed from 100% polyester, a petroleum-based plastic fiber that lacks natural breathability and moisture management. The synthetic composition poses concerns regarding microplastic shedding and potential chemical transfer to the skin through perspiration.
