Hooded Animal Print Sweater in Oatmeal Melange Gold by Joseph Ribkoff – 264925

Animal print, but with a much softer point of view This is not the usual high-contrast animal print. Joseph Ribkoff has worked the pattern into Oatmeal Melange Gold, then introduced Lurex through the knit for a subtle metallic shimmer that catches the light rather than dominating the piece. The Hooded Animal Print Sweater is cut in a relaxed boxy shape, giving the knit room to sit away from the body. Three-quarter dolman sleeves continue that easy proportion through the shoulders and arms. The zip-through front makes it particularly useful as a light jacket, finished with Joseph Ribkoff's signature metal puller. Wear it closed as a sweater or open over a simple camisole or tee when you want an extra layer. The hood has a self-fabric drawstring finished with JR metal bells, while a signature JR metal coin at the front hem adds another small point of detail. The fabric combines sweater knit with Lurex, incorporating wool and metallic fibre alongside nylon, polyester and spandex. The result is a textured knit with shimmer built into the fabrication rather than applied as surface embellishment. What makes this useful is the balance: animal print, metallic thread and signature hardware give it personality, while the oatmeal base and relaxed zip-through shape keep it surprisingly easy to wear.
