N.Peal’s SS22 collection includes a selection of “racket club inspired styles.” One of the smartest is an ivory cricket sweater trimmed in navy blue and pale pink. The classic cable-knit is meticulously crafted from 100% organic cashmere. So what is the difference between a cricket sweater and a tennis sweater? Not much. Before ‘tennis whites’ were a thing, there was the all-white cricket uniform. The only way to distinguish between opposing clubs on a cricket green was the color of their hats and the colored bands on their sweaters. By the 1920s stylish tennis players like Bill Tilden and René Lacoste adopted the look, and soon enough the sweater was a key element of the preppy style. You don’t need actual tennis skills to ace this look.
