Staccato Sweaters, Sleeveless Knits and Ruffle Tops

A green Staccato sweater with full balloon sleeves and a textured knit, in S through XL.

A sleeve that is full through the arm and gathered at the cuff, so it puffs out like a balloon. It gives a simple sweater a statement shape.

Two Staccato sweaters with star designs: the Patriotic Star Striped Sweater in red, white and blue, and the Off White Patriotic Star Sweater. Both come in S through XL.

Yes. The Off White star sweater in particular works with jeans all year, and both are an easy pick for Memorial Day, Labor Day, game days and Veterans Day.

A sweater knit with a raised or patterned surface, rather than a flat knit, so it has visual interest on its own.

A knit with small, decorative eyelet holes worked into the pattern. It looks delicate and feels lighter than a solid knit. Staccato has made pointelle stripe sweaters.

Yes. Staccato's range includes cardigans, and Accents Boutique has carried the Papaya Shell Button Front Cardigan. Call (830) 693-7573 to check current stock.

A knit top with no sleeves, sometimes called a sweater vest or sweater tank. Wear it on its own in warm weather or layered over a long-sleeve tee or blouse.

A pink Staccato sleeveless sweater in a textured knit, in S through XL.

A Staccato sleeveless sweater in orange stripes with ruffle details, in S through XL.

A black Staccato top with a ruffle at the neckline, in S through XL. Call (830) 693-7573 if you would like our team to describe the fabric and feel.

Yes. Ruffle necklines and ruffle trims are a Staccato signature at Accents, on the Black Ruffle Neck Top and the Orange Stripe Sleeveless Ruffle Sweater.

A top with a small ruffle, or frill, at the neckline and puffed bubble sleeves. Staccato has made one in black; call (830) 693-7573 to check stock.

Over a fitted long-sleeve tee or a collared blouse in fall, on its own with jeans or shorts in warm weather.

Yes. A ruffle neck top or a textured sweater with trousers or a skirt looks polished for the office or church.

Keep the bottom slim, like straight jeans or a pencil skirt, so the sleeves are the focus.

With a ruffle or frilled neckline, skip the necklace and wear earrings. With a plain crew neck sweater, a pendant or a stack of bracelets works well.

Staccato's sleeveless sweaters and short sleeve knits are made for layering, which suits Hill Country days that start cool and warm up by afternoon.
