Langarm-Strickjacke in Anthrazitgrau mit Taschen und entspannter Passform | Dark Gray / S 100100907948062

Overview

A longline charcoal cardigan designed to feel effortless and easy to wear. It’s a roomy, button-front layer with practical pockets and a softly dropped shoulder for a relaxed, modern silhouette. The knit drapes smoothly against the body and moves with you — ideal for everyday layering from errands to the office.

What the materials mean for you

This piece is made from a blended knit that combines a plant-based regenerated fibre for softness and drape, a durable synthetic for strength and abrasion resistance, and a small amount of stretch fibre to help the cardigan keep its shape. The result is a soft-to-the-touch sweater that hangs well, recovers after wear and allows a little give for comfort.

Fabric advantages — pros

• Soft hand and good drape: The regenerated-cellulose component gives the knit a smooth, breathable surface that flatters many shapes.
• Shape retention and durability: The synthetic element reinforces the knit so it resists excessive stretching and abrasion in daily wear.
• Comfortable, slight stretch: A modest amount of elastic fiber makes the cardigan easy to move in and helps the buttons sit neatly.
• Versatile neutral color: Charcoal is a highly wearable shade that works with warm and cool palettes and hides everyday marks better than lighter neutrals.
• Low-maintenance wrinkle behavior: Compared with many natural-only knits, this blend wrinkles less and smooths nicely with a gentle steam.

Fabric considerations — cons

• Care sensitivity: Regenerated-cellulose blends benefit from gentle washing — hot water and high heat in the dryer can cause shrinkage or stress the fibers.
• Pilling potential: Softer knits with cellulose content can develop small pills over time in areas of friction (under bags, at cuffs). Regular gentle care reduces this.
• Microfiber concerns: The synthetic portion can release tiny fibers with washing. Using a wash bag and cold, gentle cycles helps minimize shedding.
• Not a heavy winter coat: This is a layering cardigan — for very cold weather you’ll want additional insulation on top.

How to measure — body and garment (step-by-step)

Two sets of measurements are useful: your body measurements and a comparable garment measured flat. Use a soft, flexible measuring tape for best accuracy.

Body measurements (how to take them)

• Bust/Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest while wearing a well-fitting bra. Keep the tape level and snug but not tight.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from where the shoulder bone meets the arm on one side to the same point on the other side.
• Arm length: With your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the top of the shoulder (where a seam would sit) down to the wrist.
• Torso length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (at the base of the neck) straight down to where you want the hem to fall.

Garment measurements (how to measure a cardigan you like)

• Lay the cardigan flat: Smooth it without stretching.
• Chest: Measure across the front from one underarm seam to the other, then double that number to get the circumference.
• Shoulder seam to seam: Measure straight across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff edge.
• Full length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder or neck seam down to the hem.
• Compare these garment measurements to those of clothing you already own and like to determine fit and desired ease.

Choosing the right size — fit guidance

This cardigan is designed with a relaxed silhouette. If you plan to layer bulky sweaters underneath, consider sizing up for extra room. If you prefer a neater look or will mostly layer over thin tees, choose your usual size. When between sizes, pick based on how you like the sleeve length and shoulder fit — relaxed shoulders mean the armhole may feel roomier than a tailored sweater.

Model info (example)

Example styling reference: the model shown is approximately 5'9" and typically wears a small. On this frame the cardigan falls to the low hip/upper thigh area and reads as an easy, casual layer. Use this as a guide but always compare your own measurements to the garment measurements for accuracy.

Color & how to combine this cardigan

Charcoal gray is a cool, deep neutral that anchors outfits without the starkness of black. It pairs especially well with:

• Denim in blue or black for relaxed weekend looks.
• Warm neutrals like camel, tan or cream to add contrast and warmth.
• Jewel tones — burgundy, mustard, forest green or deep teal — for a pop of color against a soft dark base.
• All-over monochrome outfits (varying shades of gray) for a modern, elevated feel.

For texture contrast, try pairing with denim, leather or a crisp cotton button-down; for a softer palette, layer over linen or silk-blend tops.

Style & occasions

This cardigan works as a versatile everyday piece: thrown over a tee and jeans for coffee runs, layered over a work blouse for a casual office, or draped over a slip dress for cooler evenings. The pockets make it practical for quick outings, while the clean front lets you add a belt or brooch for a tailored look.

Seasonal suitability

• Best for spring and fall as a primary layer.
• Useful in winter as a middle layer under a coat.
• Nice for cool summer nights when evenings dip in temperature.

Care tips — quick

• Wash gently in cool water; avoid hot temperatures.
• Dry flat and reshape while damp; avoid high-heat drying.
• Use a low-heat iron or a steamer to remove wrinkles; protect the surface by ironing inside-out if needed.
• Turn the cardigan inside out before washing to reduce surface abrasion and pilling.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

1. Spot-clean small marks quickly with a mild detergent and cool water.
2. For full washing, hand-wash in cool water with a gentle detergent or place inside a mesh laundry bag and use the machine’s delicate cycle with a short, slow spin.
3. Avoid bleach and harsh stain removers that can weaken fibers or dull color.
4. Press out excess water gently — do not wring. Lay flat on a clean towel, roll to absorb moisture, then lay flat to finish drying in shape.
5. If machine washed, minimize agitation and wash with similar colors to prevent dye transfer.
6. Store folded rather than hung for long periods to prevent shoulder distortion on open, relaxed-shoulder styles.
7. Remove small pills with a fabric shaver or depiller held flat to the surface to maintain a smooth look.

Fit notes

• The dropped shoulder gives a more forgiving upper-arm fit — don’t be alarmed if the shoulder seam sits lower than a tailored sweater.
• Expect a relaxed drape through the body; the cardigan is designed to skim rather than cling.
• If you prefer a more structured silhouette, try cinching at the waist with a belt or choosing a closer-fitting size.

Style tips — outfit ideas

• Weekend casual: lightweight tee, distressed jeans, and white sneakers; roll sleeves slightly for a lived-in vibe.
• Office casual: silk-blend blouse, slim trousers, loafers, and a delicate necklace to balance the relaxed cardigan.
• Layered warmth: thin turtleneck, cardigan, and a tailored coat on top — add ankle boots for polish.
• Dress it up: wear over a midi dress with a slim belt at the waist and heeled boots for a pulled-together evening look.
• Travel-friendly: the soft drape and pockets make it a useful in-flight layer; pair with joggers and slip-on shoes.

FAQ

Is the fit true to size?

Generally yes — the design is relaxed. If you prefer a closer fit, choose your usual size; if you plan to layer bulky sweaters underneath, opt for one size up.

How much stretch does it have?

The knit has slight stretch for comfort and recovery. It’s forgiving but won’t behave like activewear with high elasticity.

Will it pill?

All soft knits can pill over time. Pilling is normal in high-friction areas; careful washing, turning the garment inside out, and occasional use of a fabric shaver will keep it looking fresh.

Can I machine wash it?

You can if you choose a gentle, cold cycle and a mesh bag — however, hand-washing is the safest option to maintain shape and finish.

Is the color likely to fade?

Charcoal is forgiving, but like all dyed garments it can fade with harsh detergents and repeated high-heat laundering. Use mild detergents and cool water to preserve depth of color.

Are the pockets functional or decorative?

The front pockets are functional and sized for essentials like a phone, keys, or small wallet for quick outings.
