Nasty Gal's 'Wild for the Night Crop Sweater' is a unique piece of autumn attire. Though this garment is designed to keep wearers warm and stylish, this sweater also features summer-style qualities.
In a silhouette that is shorter than most sweaters, the Wild for the Night Crop Sweater is made of gold and black ribbed lurex and features a crew neckline complemented by long sleeves. Though there is ribbed paneling throughout the garment, the highlight of this sweater is the embedded triangle bikini. This unusual style makes the sweater look as if it has encased a geometric bikini top within its blend of viscose, cotton, nylon and spandex.
Still a fall/winter garment nonetheless, the Wild for the Night Crop Sweater allows wearers to bring their love for summer into the colder seasons.
