Collared Cardigan – The layer that finishes an ordinary outfit

A cardigan with a real collar instead of a round neck, knitted from a breathable cotton blend. The waist draws in slightly, so it sits neatly over a dress or a blouse. Wear it open at the office or closed in place of a jacket.

Why choose this cardigan?

Most cardigans hang straight down and add a size to whatever is underneath. The collar sets the shoulder line and the light shaping at the waist gives the knit some form. That is exactly enough to wear it with something more formal.

• Collar detail: gives the neckline structure even when the front hangs open
• Cotton blend: breathes and stays comfortable through a full day
• Lightly shaped: narrows at the waist, so it does not fall like a sack
• Layers easily: goes over a blouse, tee or dress without pulling
• Calm colors: works with jeans, a skirt or tailored pants without thinking about it

A layer you put on without deciding, that still looks considered.

It hangs best with the collar folded flat to the outside; press it on a low setting after washing. Use a cold cycle and dry the cardigan flat so the knit keeps its shape. Skip the narrow hanger, which pulls the shoulders out over time.
