W5457 Sweater - Black Oversized Stretch Viscose Jersey Women's Italian

Oversized Viscose. The Sweater That Earns Its Volume.

The W5457 is an oversized sweater in 94% viscose, 6% elastane stretch jersey — a fabric that has the fluid drape and natural warmth of viscose with enough elastane to hold its shape and move without restriction. Where standard oversized sweaters use bulk to create volume, the W5457 uses the fluid quality of viscose jersey: the volume falls away from the body rather than sitting on it, creating a silhouette that is generous without being heavy. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.

Why This Sweater Is Different

• 94% Viscose, 6% Elastane Stretch Jersey: A higher elastane content than the close-fitting W5525 — the 6% elastane gives the oversized jersey more recovery and structure, ensuring the volume holds its shape rather than collapsing. The viscose content (94%) maintains the fluid drape and natural warmth that makes viscose jersey different from cotton or synthetic alternatives.
• Oversized Silhouette: The sweater is cut generously — the viscose jersey falls away from the body, creating volume and movement that is amplified by the fluid quality of the fabric. Unlike standard oversized sweaters in cotton or wool, the viscose jersey creates a silhouette that moves rather than sits.
• Fluid Volume: The combination of oversized cut and viscose jersey creates a specific quality of volume — the fabric falls and moves with the body rather than holding a fixed shape. The silhouette changes as you move.
• Year-Round Wearability: The viscose jersey is lightweight enough for transitional seasons and warm enough for cooler months — the oversized cut adds a layer of warmth without the weight of wool.
• Made in Italy: Construction and finishing completed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's atelier standards.

The Moment You Put It On

Viscose jersey in an oversized cut is not the same as cotton or wool in an oversized cut. The fabric falls differently — fluid rather than structured, moving rather than sitting. The W5457 creates volume that changes as you move: generous when you stand still, fluid when you walk, close when you sit. A silhouette that is alive rather than fixed.

The 6% elastane means the sweater recovers after wear — the oversized volume returns to its shape rather than stretching out over time. This is an oversized sweater that holds its intention.

The Art of Viscose Jersey

Viscose is a natural-derived fibre made from wood pulp — it has the fluid drape and warmth of natural fibres without the weight of wool or the stiffness of cotton. In an oversized jersey construction, viscose creates a volume that is fundamentally different from cotton or wool: the fabric falls and moves rather than holding a fixed shape, creating a silhouette that is generous without being heavy. The 6% elastane in the W5457 (higher than the close-fitting W5525's 3%) gives the oversized jersey the recovery it needs to hold its shape — the volume returns after wear rather than stretching out. Unlike synthetic jersey, which can feel plastic and retain odour, viscose jersey breathes and feels natural against the skin even in an oversized construction.

How to Wear It

• With Slim Trousers or Leggings: Wear with slim-fit trousers or leggings — the oversized viscose jersey creates a deliberate volume contrast with the fitted bottom. The fluid fabric falls away from the body above the waistband.
• Tucked into Wide-Leg Trousers: Tuck the front hem into high-waisted wide-leg trousers — the oversized back falls long while the front is defined by the waistband.
• Belted: Add a wide belt at the waist to define the silhouette and change the proportion of the oversized body — the viscose jersey gathers naturally at the belt without bunching.
• Under a Coat: Wear under a long structured coat — the oversized viscose jersey adds warmth without bulk beneath the outerwear, the fluid fabric compressing naturally under the coat.

Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold, delicate cycle
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat to dry to preserve the viscose jersey drape and oversized shape
• Iron on low heat on the reverse if needed — the viscose content responds well to light steaming
• Do not bleach
• Store flat or hung — the 6% elastane ensures the sweater recovers its shape after storage
