Shawl Collar Sweater — The Reiss Lexi in Berry Purple
Heritage, reknit: this Shawl Collar Sweater from Reiss takes the ceremonial language of the shawl collar and tilts it on its axis. Knitted throughout in a fine ribbed blend (59% viscose, 24% polyester, 16% nylon, 1% elastane) in rich berry purple, the Lexi folds its collar asymmetrically across the chest, fastening the diagonal with a procession of crest-embossed gold buttons that descend from the neckline along the shoulder. Drop shoulders and long sleeves keep the body relaxed and true to size, while the all-over ribbing lends texture, recovery and a flattering vertical line.
Why This Shawl Collar Sweater Stands Out
- Tilted shawl collar: Asymmetric diagonal fold for instant distinction
- Heraldic gold buttons: Crest-embossed accents from neck to shoulder
- Vertical ribbing: All-over texture with flattering elongation
- Relaxed drop-shoulder ease: Comfortable, true-to-size drape
- Berry purple depth: A sophisticated, season-spanning hue
- Soft engineered blend: Viscose-led with elastane for gentle give
Who Should Wear This Shawl Collar Sweater?
This shawl collar sweater is for the quiet power dresser — the architect in monochrome, the editor at a launch, the woman who packs one piece that survives transit, dinner and the morning after. Berry purple against chocolate trousers reads deliberate; against raw denim, it reads effortlessly expensive.

Styling Your Shawl Collar Sweater
Monochrome authority: Berry trousers + pointed boots + a compact bag; let the buttons be the only metal.
Weekend polish: Raw denim + the Lexi + clean sneakers; gold crest against indigo.
Travel hero: Layer over a tee for the flight, wear solo at arrival.
Care tip: Hand wash, lay flat to dry; store folded to protect the collar shape and buttons.
The Good & The Considerations
The Good: Distinctive asymmetric collar; luxe heraldic buttons; flattering all-over ribbing; relaxed true-to-size comfort; rich berry hue; soft stretch blend; occasion-spanning versatility; strong gifting appeal.
The Considerations: Hand wash only; viscose may pill at friction points; gold buttons need gentle care; relaxed cut can overwhelm very petite frames; berry purple pairs best with neutrals and tonal shades.
