Back Bow Knit Sweater Women UK
Back Bow Knit Sweater Women UK
A knit sweater with a bow detail at the back — one of those pieces where a single design decision transforms an otherwise standard item into something considerably more memorable. The bow at the back adds a feminine, unexpected touch that's visible from behind and photographs well, while the front of the sweater maintains a clean, classic silhouette. In apricot — a warm, flattering tone. Browse our sweaters and knitwear collection.
Why You'll Love It
- Back bow detail — the signature design element; an unexpected, feminine bow at the back that differentiates this from every plain knit sweater available.
- Apricot colourway — a warm, peachy-coral tone that's flattering across most UK skin tones and works with cream, white, camel and light neutral bottoms.
- Viscose blend — soft and lightweight with a gentle drape; comfortable for everyday wear.
- Clean front silhouette — the front is a neat, classic sweater shape — the bow surprise is reserved for the back view.
- Feminine casual — the bow detail adds a playful, feminine quality that makes this sweater more occasion-flexible than a plain alternative.
- Versatile styling — works tucked in, worn out or half-tucked depending on the silhouette you want.
Fabric & Care
Viscose blend. Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Lay flat to air dry to maintain the shape and bow detail. Do not tumble dry or bleach.
How to Style It
Style inspiration from Harper's Bazaar UK. See our sweaters collection.
- Classic casual: apricot bow sweater + straight jeans + white trainers. Simple, warm and pretty.
- Smart casual: tucked into high-waist wide-leg trousers + loafers or simple flats.
- Feminine: with a midi skirt + sandals + simple earrings. The bow detail reads as intentionally dressed-up.
- Layered: under an open blazer or cardigan — the bow peeks out at the back for a distinctive layered detail.
FAQs
Is the bow functional or purely decorative?
The bow at the back is a decorative design feature — it's sewn into the garment as a fixed design element rather than a tie or knot that can be removed or adjusted. It adds a distinctive feminine quality to the back view of the sweater.
Is this sweater true to UK sizing?
This runs close to standard UK sizing. Check your bust measurement against the size guide below.
Does the bow show when wearing a coat or jacket over the sweater?
When fully covered by an outer layer, the bow won't be visible — it's reserved for when the sweater is worn as the outermost layer. The bow detail appears from the back view of the sweater itself.
What is apricot as a colour?
Apricot is a warm, peachy-orange tone — lighter and softer than orange, with the warmth of peach and a slight coral quality. It's flattering across most skin tones and works particularly well in spring and summer against tanned skin.
Can I wear a bow-back sweater to work?
Yes — in casual and smart-casual work environments. The front view looks like a standard knitwear piece; the bow adds personality from behind. Pair with tailored trousers and neat footwear for an office-appropriate look.
