The Bella Freud Sporting Fred Sweater was spotted all over fashion weeks, and ever since has been flying from the shop floors. Priced at £165.00 the Merino Wool garment is delicate but warm.
It was Fred Perry himself who first made tennis sweaters this way, giving them an athletic flexibility and a sharp edge. The company created this sweater in collaboration with Bella Freud choosing 100% extra fine merino wool and ribbing at the hem, cuffs, and collar so it hangs close to the body. Bella gave it some of her own style in a playful tribute to the brand’s sporting heritage and Fred himself with two intarsias – one on the chest spelling “sporting,” and another on the left sleeve spelling “Fred”. The statement sweater is finished off with an embroidering of the 30-leaf Laurel Wreath to the lower left corner. It is a smart and sophisticated monochrome and will complement any winter wardrobe.
