PAULA RYAN Diamond Ribbed Sweater - Merino Powder Blue

Crafted from premium merino knitwear, this sweater draws on the natural performance of merino fibre - temperature regulating, breathable, and softly insulating against the skin. The knit structure provides warmth without weight, allowing the body to maintain a consistent temperature whether worn indoors or layered for cooler conditions.

The design is defined by a relaxed silhouette with a softly draped roll neck and an all-over diamond rib pattern that creates subtle structure through the body. Ribbed sleeves extend into elongated cuffs, adding both texture and coverage, while the hem finishes cleanly for an easy, balanced line. The fit is intentionally unrestrictive, designed to move with the body without losing its shape.

Merino is chosen for its ability to perform over time. It maintains its softness and integrity through repeated wear, making it a piece you return to instinctively. Designed for years of use, not seasonal rotation, it sits firmly in the wardrobe as a reliable foundation - where cost per wear becomes the true measure of value.

Designed to work seamlessly into an existing wardrobe, this length pairs naturally with the Paula Ryan Ankle Pleat Basque Pant, straight leg tailoring, or denim. The proportion is considered - sitting cleanly through the hip without overwhelming the line, making it an easy choice for both structured and relaxed dressing.
