Colette Intarsia Short Sleeve Sweater
The sweater with a story knit into it — the ASTR Colette Intarsia Short Sleeve Sweater is a cropped short-sleeve knit in warm oatmeal with a detailed pastoral countryside scene worked in intarsia across the front: a dark chocolate brown farmhouse with a pitched roof, flanked by full green trees on a green grass ground, with a flock of white sheep grazing in the foreground. The scene is rendered with the folk art specificity of a painting and the warmth of something handmade. The body is clean oatmeal on all sides except the front panel — a crewneck with ribbed collar, softly puffed short sleeves that billow and taper to a ribbed cuff, and a ribbed hem band. The fabric blend includes 10% wool and 6% alpaca for a soft warmth and a slight halo to the knit that photographs beautifully and feels exactly right. Cropped at 19½″. Moderate stretch. Dry clean only. Oatmeal. XS–L. By ASTR.

Styling Suggestions
- Wear with a dark chocolate brown mini pleated skirt and low kitten heel slingback sandals with oatmeal socks as shown — the oatmeal sweater against dark chocolate brown is the perfect tonal autumn pairing, and the pastoral intarsia scene sits at exactly the right scale against a short-hemmed skirt that keeps the visual focus on the front panel print
- Tuck into high-waisted straight dark wash denim with cognac or tan suede ankle boots for a classic autumn casual look where the oatmeal intarsia sweater reads as the considered, character-driven piece in an otherwise straightforward outfit — the sheep add the quiet humor that makes it memorable
- Style with slim camel or tan wide-leg trousers and simple white sneakers for a relaxed, tonal autumn daytime look where the warm oatmeal sweater and the warm neutral trouser stay in the same palette and the intarsia scene is the single detail that elevates it from casual to considered
- Layer under a dark chocolate, camel, or forest green belted coat for autumn and winter dressing — the cropped length sits cleanly under a coat hem and the oatmeal base reads as a warm neutral that works under almost any outerwear color in the autumn palette
