Nanette Lepore La Pampa Pullover Sweater
In a sea of same old sweaters, this new find from Nanette Lepore stands out in the best possible way.

The Nanette Lepore La Pampa Sweater is a v-neck linen/ cotton sweater with an open weave that varies throughout the sweater. The sleeves have a loop detail, while the back features an almost net-like weave effect. The winter white color could prove problematic, but it's worth the extra caution (and dry cleaning bills) for such a unique weave.

Clearly this sweater is an ideal pick for a mid-winter vacation to a sunny location, or as an early purchase for spring and summer. But, some creative layering could make this Nanette Lepore sweater suitable for winter in a more mild climate. Try pairing it with a thicker v-neck tee underneath, skinny jeans and hidden-wedge boots.
