ARMEDANGELS ALAANI: the ribbed mock neck sweater that goes with everything
The ALAANI from ARMEDANGELS is one of those sweaters you'll want to own in multiple colors right away. A fine, ribbed knit basic made of 100% organic cotton, featuring long sleeves, a slim fit, and a small mock neck. Perfect under a blouse, cardigan, blazer, or dungarees, but also stylish enough to wear on its own.
What makes this sweater so great? It is soft, supple, and not too thick. This makes it easy to wear as a layering piece without everything bunching up. And because it is made from organic cotton, it feels pleasant against the skin. No wool, no itchiness, no "I’m taking this off after ten minutes" feeling.
Why you want this sweater
A good ribbed mock neck sweater is a true hero in your wardrobe. The ALAANI has a beautiful ribbed knit texture that gently follows your silhouette and gives the sweater a bit more character than a smooth basic shirt. Simple, but not boring.
The high neck is more of a mock neck than a truly tight turtleneck. So, no suffocating feeling around your throat, but still that beautiful, polished mock neck look. Ideal if you like a high neck but don't want a thick collar pushing against your chin all day.
We have the ALAANI in several colors. The blue shade is wonderfully calm and combines beautifully with denim, dark blue, gray, black, and neutrals. The velvet red color is warm, deep, and great under cardigans, jackets, and winter layers.
Fit & styling
The ARMEDANGELS ALAANI has a slim fit and runs relatively narrow. If you like a fitted ribbed sweater, you can choose your own size. If you are between sizes or prefer a slightly less tight fit, choose the larger size.
The length is approximately 63 cm. This allows you to easily tuck it into trousers or a skirt, but it also falls nicely when worn loose. The rib structure ensures the sweater moves well with you and doesn't feel like a stiff piece of fabric.
Wear it under an oversized shirt for a nice layered look. Under a blazer, it immediately looks professional. With jeans, it is simple and pretty. And worn under a cardigan or sweater, just the mock neck and sleeves are visible, adding depth to your outfit.
Material & washing instructions
The ALAANI is made from 100% organic cotton and is GOTS-certified. Organic cotton feels soft, breathes well, and is a great choice if you find wool too warm or itchy.
Wash the sweater inside out at a low temperature and do not use too much detergent. Don't overfill the washing machine so that the ribbed structure can rinse properly without unnecessary friction. It is better not to put it in the dryer, as cotton generally doesn't benefit from this, and it can cause the fit to change more quickly.
Gently pull the sweater into shape after washing and let it dry flat or well-supported. This keeps the ribbed structure looking better and prevents the sweater from stretching unnecessarily. It is best not to iron it at high temperatures, and preferably iron inside out.

Sustainable & fair
ARMEDANGELS works with more sustainable materials and clear certifications. This sweater is made of 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton. This means there is attention for the material, the processing, and the production conditions.
And we believe that is particularly important for basics. Because this is the kind of item you wear often: under everything, with everything, on all kinds of days. If a basic fits well, stays beautiful for a long time, and is produced fairly, then you will enjoy it every time.
Don't buy if...
Are you looking for a loose-fitting, oversized sweater or a thick winter turtleneck? Then the ALAANI is likely not your model. This sweater has a slim fit and is made of finely knitted organic cotton.
But if you are looking for a soft, ribbed mock neck sweater with a beautiful collar that is perfect for layering and can also be worn solo, then this is a truly wonderful basic.
