Pepper is the ultimate cozy pullover. With its oversized collar and wide cuffs, it’s got just enough style while staying super relaxed.
The roomy fit, dropped shoulder, and high-hip hem make it easy to layer over anything. Perfect for cozy days or when you want to add a little something extra to your look.
The member bonus pattern lengthens Pepper into a tunic-length sweater with dramatic side slits.
