KAELIN | XL | Geometric Patterned Chunky Knit Wool Blend Thick Crewneck Sweater

Vintage awesomeness! Super good shape 80’s ski sweater. Nice thick chunky knit crew neck heavy piece, perfect for looking awesome alone on of off the slopes, or as a warm layer under a coat. Overall great preowned condition, but does have some pilling in some areas and I don’t own a lint roller because I’ve heard they leave a residue that attracts more lint, but I did take a knit brush to her to get some of what was on her off, but apologies - she’ll need a little more love in that department! Otherwise a really fabulous universal-gendered piece that can work for anyone! No stock images available, but included some styling inspo. Love whoever this can work for. 🪩 All of my goodies are sent out in recycled / upcycled packaging from other orders or donations from friends! I am way plastic-phobic, but believe in reusing what already exists. ⟁ - - In the ’50s, the French term après ski, which translates to “after ski,” was coined in Europe. The fashion, likewise, followed this vernacular as skiers looked for stylish, technical pieces that could be worn on on the slopes and look put-together at the lodge later. In 1952, German fashion designer and professional skier Maria Bogner created the first stretch ski pants that showcased the curves in a female body, thereby ushering in the “sexy ski wear” era. Fashionable ladies of the time such as Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, and Brigitte Bardot all wore Bogner’s bottoms on the slopes, which further popularized the look.
