Nikkie Upington Ski Pully in Beige Jacquard

Sitting between a ski base layer and your favourite jumper the NIKKIE Upington Zip Pully is a soft viscose-blend turtleneck woven through with Lurex metallic yarn, in a tonal check jacquard.

The pattern catches light effortlessy. In travertine, a warm stone beige, the effect is champagne-soft not showy, finished with a tonal N-logo patch at the chest.

A fitted shape with plenty of stretch, it layers under a ski jacket as sleekly as any base laye. The turtleneck and half-zip give it the warmth and polish of knitwear, zipped up against a cold chairlift, opened at lunch. And because it contains no wool, the softness comes without a single itch at the neck, which turtleneck devotees will love.

NIKKIE designed it to complete the check story: worn with the Ulsan Check Pants and under the Newport Check Jacket it builds the full travertine monogram look, the knit adding texture between the technical layers. On its own it is simply a beautiful metallic knit, as right with cream trousers at dinner as it is on the mountain, and quite possibly the piece from the ski order that ends up living downstairs with the rest of the knitwear.

FAQ

Is the NIKKIE Upington a jumper or a base layer?
Genuinely both. It is a true knit with the turtleneck warmth of a jumper, cut close with high stretch so it layers under a ski jacket like a base layer. Wear it as your first layer on the mountain or as knitwear in its own right.

What makes the check pattern metallic?
The check is a jacquard, knitted into the fabric with genuine Lurex metallic yarn running through it, so the shimmer is part of the knit itself rather than a print, and it catches the light as you move.

Is the Upington itchy at the neck?
No. The knit is a soft viscose blend containing no wool, so the turtleneck sits smooth against the skin, the choice for anyone who loves the look of a roll neck but not the scratch.

How does the Upington fit?
It is cut close and tailored, with high stretch that moves with you. If you are between sizes, or prefer an easier fit for wearing as knitwear alone, we suggest sizing up.

What do you wear with the Upington knit?
It is designed around NIKKIE's travertine check pieces: under the Newport Check Jacket and with the Ulsan Check Pants for the complete look. It also lifts plain black, cream and chocolate, and off the mountain it works with everything a champagne-toned knit should.

Why does it need to be dried flat?
Viscose-blend knits hold water heavily, and hanging them wet stretches the shape. Lay it flat straight after washing and it keeps its tailored line for years.
