How to Style the Lavina Off Shoulder Knit Sweater in Chocolate by Body Type
- Rectangle: Define your waist with a belt, a wrap silhouette, and bias cuts to introduce shape. The Lavina Off Shoulder Knit Sweater in Chocolate works well layered over a fitted base for added structure.
- Hourglass: Fitted bodices, wrap closures, and waist-defining details flatter natural curves, let the 62% superfine wool, 20% tencel and 18% polyester skim rather than cling.
- Tall: Maxi lengths, column silhouettes, and tiered hems elongate beautifully. Vertical seaming here enhances height without overpowering proportion.
- Petite: Look for high-waisted cuts, midi lengths, and refined shoulder lines. The structured proportions of the Lavina Off Shoulder Knit Sweater in Chocolate help balance shorter frames.

About SIMKHAI
SIMKHAI is an American Contemporary Luxury label based in Los Angeles, United States, founded in 2010 by Jonathan Simkhai. The house is known for sculptural construction and hand-worked detail. The studio takes its cues from architecture, so the construction carries the design and the hand finishing sits on top of a clean line. SIMKHAI sits in the Coveti edit for occasion dressing and red carpet evenings, and for the tailoring and knitwear that carry the rest of the week.
The label won the CFDA and Vogue Fashion Fund in 2015 and was an early inductee to the CFDA Incubator, the industry programme that backs emerging American designers. Jonathan Simkhai showed his first womenswear collection in New York and moved the studio to Los Angeles in 2018, where the atelier and showroom remain. On the red carpet the house has dressed Kaley Cuoco at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, Juliette Lewis for the 2025 holiday campaign, and Elizabeth Banks and Naomi Watts at premiere events.
“The SIMKHAI Lavina Off Shoulder Knit Sweater in Chocolate is exactly the kind of piece we recommend for women building a considered wardrobe, quietly confident, beautifully cut, and effortless to restyle. The 62% superfine wool, 20% tencel and 18% polyester elevates it well beyond contemporary.”
