….Another new Whisper Knit offing for spring/summer is my OPEN V-NECK 3/4 SLEEVE SWEATER WITH THE RIB BAND BOTTOM, A251583…….avail now….. This neckline is definitely inspired by the leotards dancers wear. It’s the blending of a BALLET NECKLINE and a V. The depth of the V, for me, is perfect…… not TOO HIGH….not TOO LOW. This sweater, as the previous MOCK NECK, is made in a jersey stitch which is lighter than an ENR, and is more appropriate for this type of spring/summer sweater. These sweater in these particular PRIMARY COLORS are classic and will never be dated. They will work with many things you already own, including your BOYFRIEND CARDIGAN SWEATERS……..plus they are going to be wonderful accents to the DENIMS coming in MARCH……these will be perfect under the DENIM VEST as well as the reorder DENIM JACKET…..and fabulous with the new SLIM LEG ANKLE LENGTH JEAN! Again, the ribs at the bottom are knit on the loose side so they are not TIGHT! They glide over the body and give a nice shape. It has been reported by some that it gives them a waist shape they didn’t think they had…..I make no such claims…..LOL…….. What I love about the sweater is the neckline, which looks cool and perfect for the season as well as the perfect neckline for accessories. Won’t the SILVER or GOLD FISH PENDANT look great with this….not to mention the two new PALM FROND NECKLACES! I think you are in for a sweet season!……..scroll down…….enjoy……………………much Love …………….Louis

THREE MUST HAVE BASICS in the new OPEN V-NECK SWEATER, A251583, are……………………[LINEA] NAVY………………IVORY…………………….BLACK…………….These are season-less, timeless CLASSIC sweaters. How could you go wrong?…….A heads up…..also coming this Spring [April] will be the WK pencil skirt in your basic colors, Black, Navy, COFFEE BEAN and LATTE. It will be a new length for the season….23″-24″. I give two measurements depending where you place the elastic band. If you place it waist down….24″….waist up….23″. I suppose if you wanted you could even wear it lower or a little higher without a problem…………I have always loved designing knit wear, sweaters in particular….especially when I was able to go to ITALY five times a year to work with the factories directly! These fully fashioned sweaters are exactly how I would have made them in Italy…..the only difference is they would have been four times the price………………………………..enjoy………………………..much Love………………………………..LUIGINO….as they call me in Italy.

The MOCK NECK SWEATER, A251584 is avail right now in LINEA NAVY and SUNSHINE YELLOW……………….What makes this mock neck better than all others?….First it’s in the WHISPER KNIT, but it’s  the RIB DETAILS that really sets it apart……From the top….the RIB COLLAR is soft and not at all tight. It GENTLY hugs the neck without ever feeling restricting in any way……the perfect mock neck……The RIBBED SLEEVES are elbow length, and again, hug the arm gently so there is no baggy look what so ever. It is a much younger look and works for ALL arm sizes. If you have large upper arms the length of the sleeve and the rib will give you a much more youthful appearance. There is no reason why a short sleeve should ever look matronly….not if it’s fit correctly, and the ribs take care of that……..The ribbed bottom band or “THE WAIST WHITTLING BAND” as it has been dubbed does the trick.. Again, the ribs gently glide over the body creating a smooth line……The LITTLE bit of extra thickness, due to the ribbing, is a great camouflage. If you like turtleneck sweaters, but the necks are too high, you may want to try a MOCK. If you love turtlenecks and mocks….then this is a MUST HAVE…..it’s the PERFECT MOCK NECK SWEATER……a true COLLECTABLE…………………..I know the questions are spinning in your heads….what is THAT VEST! It’s coming in Feb/Mar and it’s part of my small OLO DENIM GROUP to go with the reorder of the DENIM JACKET. It is modeled after the D. Jacket, and will be avail in the SUNSHINE YELLOW….WHITE….INDIGO…&…the new AQUA,,,,same as last seasons FIESTA AQUA. Be patient….all the details will come at the appropriate time….I know….it’s a HONEY……..and it looks so good with the SUNSHINE YELLOW SWEATERS……………..scroll down……………………………………………………….enjoy……………………………..much Love…………………………………………………..Louis

……………………Above,there are more pictures of the NAVY MOCK NECK WK SWEATER & the additional IVORY MNS, A251584……This is really the perfect layering piece……FALL….WINTER….SPRING….SUMMER [when appropriate]. BOTH colors will match all of the WK items you already own…so….if you just picked up the BOYFRIEND CARDIGAN….now you have a new set………….I hear you…….WHAT IS THAT SKIRT ……It’s coming in my second delivery of WK OLO pieces……………..the color is……………LATTE…….and that’s exactly what the color looks like……and yes, there will be a range of LATTE WK SWEATERS to coordinate……and yes, it looks great with the TWIG TANK & SHRUG……………….and YES……the MOCHA MIST PEARLS are PERFECTION with the new LATTE!…………………….scroll down………………..much Love………………………………..Louis

…………………………RED…………is the final color out of the four colors being offered in the ELBOW SLEEVE MOCK NECK WK SWEATER, A251584, and what a GORGEOUS RED IT IS! If you picked up the collarless PONTE JACKET and or the RED PONTE PANT….you must have this RED MOCK NECK…..you will never get such a perfect match again…..even if we bring this red back next year….I can’t guarantee it will be exactly exactly the same. If you own the BOYFRIEND CARDIGAN in the RED or IVORY, these MOCKS are a must……………..I truly do not think I can improve on the design or fit of this sweater and in the WHISPER KNIT……everything is just right………………………………………………….enjoy…………………………………….much Love………………………….Louis
