Elegant sweater with voluminous sleeves in black mélange merino wool from Emmy Design.
Authentic 1890s design gives this cycling sweater its charm and refined silhouette.Emmy’s Edwardian Cycling Sweater is based on the original late-19th-century design, where this look first appeared.
The sweater features a high neckline with a neat fold-over detail and buttons on both shoulders.Knitted in a beautifully thick rib, it has a simple purl-stitch pattern strategically placed at the collar, waist, and sleeves to accentuate the waist and create an elegant shape. The rib knit offers a comfortable stretch, ensuring a close fit in true Emmy style.The voluminous sleeves have a gathered puff at the shoulders and fit snugly along the forearm.
This timeless piece, crafted in marled red-brown maroon merino wool, pairs beautifully with your vintage-style jeans, skirts, or a pair of Billie trousers.
Wear it on its own on a crisp autumn day, or layer it under one of our swing coats, which leave room for the dramatic sleeves. Embrace the antique look with a long skirt, or style it with denim for a cool, more timeless expression.

Mondo Kaos guide
Why we love Edwardian Cycling Sweater in black mélange merino wool
The details
Collars, buttons, sleeves or prints can make all the difference and give the look more personality.
Styling options
Wear it with high-waisted jeans, trousers or a skirt. Button it up for a classic look or tie it at the waist for a more relaxed retro feel.
Styling tip
Shirts and blouses work especially well with high-waisted bottoms because they can be styled into the waist and create a flattering silhouette.
Era inspiration
Inspired by the simple and functional silhouettes of the 1940s, with clean lines and a feminine everyday feel.
Find the right vintage-inspired top or shirt
Our vintage-inspired tops, blouses and shirts feature feminine fits that accentuate the waist and pair perfectly with high-waisted trousers and skirts. The styles are primarily inspired by 1940s, 1950s and 1960s fashion, when puff sleeves, elegant collars, tie-neck details, flattering necklines and fitted silhouettes were among the era’s characteristic features.
We always recommend checking the bust and waist measurements for each individual style rather than simply choosing your usual size. Some vintage-inspired shirts are made from non-stretch fabrics and have a looser fit, while other tops contain stretch and fit closer to the body. Choose the vintage-inspired top or retro shirt that suits the look you want – from a relaxed everyday outfit to classic 1940s style, feminine 1950s fashion or a colourful 1960s look.
