Vintage ETRO multicolor striped V-neck knit,
estimated from the late 1990s to early 2000s.

ETRO is widely known for its bold paisley prints and decorative textiles,
but this piece represents a much more restrained and rare side of the brand.
Rather than relying on patterns, the design is built purely on color balance, texture, and silhouette.

The knit features a vibrant yet wearable mix of blue, yellow, green, and brown tones.
The palette has a fresh, vitamin-like energy, while remaining refined and adult — never loud or excessive.

Material is 100% cotton, offering a soft hand feel with no itchiness,
making it suitable for long-season wear.

The V-neck is shallow and well-balanced, not overly deep or flashy.
It works perfectly layered over a white T-shirt,
or worn on its own for a clean, relaxed look.

Cut in a dropped-shoulder silhouette with wide shoulders and shorter sleeves,
the shape feels modern even by today’s standards and pairs well with wide trousers, denim, or tailored pants.

Inside, the garment features the phrase
“LA NUOVA TRADIZIONE” (Italian for “The New Tradition”),
a detail commonly found on ETRO pieces from this era,
and one that aligns well with the brand’s approach of reinterpreting classic craftsmanship through contemporary expression.

A great option for those looking for an unusual, more minimal ETRO piece,
focused on color, mood, and wearability rather than heavy ornamentation.
