Ted Baker’s Karpol sweater sits in the brand’s smart casual knitwear range, the sort of piece that competes with other premium high street staples when you want something sharper than a basic crew neck. In black, it works as a low fuss layer for the office, dinners, or travel, keeping the look clean with minimal effort.

Who is this sweater for?

If you like a softer handle than traditional wool knits, the modal blend is the main draw. Modal tends to feel smooth against the skin and drapes neatly, so it sits well under a coat or blazer without looking bulky. Black is also forgiving, it pairs easily with dark denim, tailored trousers, or chinos, and it keeps its place in rotation across seasons.

  • Modal rich feel: chosen for a softer, more fluid finish than many standard cotton knits.
  • Black colourway: versatile for workwear and evening outfits without looking loud.
