Mohair has a halo - the fibers stand away from the surface and catch light rather than absorbing it, which is why a mohair sweater in a strong tone looks lit from inside instead of flat. It is the whole reason to choose one.
The knit here is loose enough to show that texture properly, with a fine ribbed crew neckline holding the shape at the top and the shoulders dropping just slightly past the joint. Cuffs and hem are ribbed in the same fine gauge, and the body is cut relaxed without tipping into oversized.
It photographs better than it has any right to and feels like almost nothing on - a strange combination, and the reason it stays in rotation.
