Bound Open Collar Acid Wash Knit Sweater

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Bound Open Collar Acid Wash Knit Sweater radiates that off-duty downtown edge, spun in 100% cotton with a washed-out green tone that feels refreshingly new. The midweight knit is equal parts soft and substantial, falling with just enough drape to hint at structure without coming off as stiff. The acid wash gives it a lived-in, washed-twice feel—something you’d discover in a vintage archive, but make it current. The open collar and deep V-neck break up the silhouette, dialing the polish down to a low-effort, high-impact mood.

Thanks to its pull-on style and breathable knit, this sweater slips on with zero fuss, settling in right at that sweet spot between relaxed and put together. The V-neck opens up the neckline for layering chains or glimpses of what’s underneath, while the body-skimming fit slips easily over tanks, tees, or even a crisp button-up. With its midweight construction, it transitions seamlessly—comfortable on its own during those spring days, but it layers smoothly under heavier coats or over a slip dress once the sun goes down. The knit’s heft gives it shape, so it skims rather than clings, and the roomy collar feels quietly subversive, hinting at skate and street codes.

Bound’s take on the acid wash leans into that retro-leaning, elevated streetwear moment—think a nod to early aughts nostalgia without going full throwback. Pair it loose over wide-leg denim or tucked into a tailored mini for a spin on the collegiate-artist uniform. It’s the kind of knit that makes basics look anything but basic—the wear-everywhere sweater you’ll reach for on repeat.
