Check price at Ralph Lauren →This black sweater, a pared-back design, is given a playful touch by the sharply dressed polo bear on the front. The otherwise monochrome sweater becomes the backdrop for a classy, posing bear in an ornately patterned tuxedo, giving this item a light-hearted feel. The bear’s suit nonetheless communicates a decadent mood that emanates from the sweater.
