Perfee Floral Button Down Longline Cardigan | Black / S 100100092388205

Overview

A longline, button-front ribbed cardigan in a lively floral knit—designed to bring a refined casual-chic look to everyday outfits. The extended silhouette and V-neckline allow easy layering over tees, dresses or lightweight sweaters while the button closure offers styling flexibility: wear it open for a relaxed feel or buttoned for a more tailored appearance.

Fabric Advantages — Pros

• Durable and colorfast: synthetic fibers hold dyes well so prints stay vibrant wash after wash.
• Low-wrinkle and quick-drying—easy-care for travel and daily wear.
• Ribbed knit construction adds visual texture, structure and gentle recovery for a comfortable fit.
• Light-to-medium thermal value: provides warmth without bulk, ideal for layering.
• Affordability and consistent performance; resistant to shrinking when laundered correctly.

Fabric Considerations — Cons

• Less breathable than many natural fibers—best for transitional weather or layered looks.
• May develop surface pilling with abrasion over time; avoid rough surfaces and follow care tips to minimize.
• Can build static in dry conditions—use anti-static measures or a dampening spray if needed.
• Higher heat can damage synthetic fibers; avoid high-temperature washing, drying and ironing.
• Environmental impact: conventional polyester is petroleum-derived; consider recycling or low-impact alternatives if sustainability is a priority.

About the Materials

The cardigan is constructed from a polyester-based knit. Polyester is a synthetic polymer (commonly polyethylene terephthalate, PET) prized for strength, abrasion resistance and color retention. In knit form it delivers stretch and recovery without the weight of heavier fabrics. Because it repels moisture, polyester dries quickly and resists wrinkling; however, it won’t breathe as freely as cotton or linen and can trap heat when worn next to the skin for long periods.

The ribbed texture is achieved through a knitting pattern that gives raised vertical lines—this produces a slightly firmer hand and a flattering drape that holds shape well. If sustainability matters, look for items made from recycled polyester (rPET) or blended options; care and longevity help reduce environmental impact too.

How to Measure — Garment and Body

Measuring the Cardigan (lay flat)

1. Lay the cardigan on a flat surface, smoothing out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Chest/Bust: measure straight across from armpit seam to armpit seam, then double that number for full circumference.
3. Length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the neckline seam) straight down to the bottom hem.
4. Sleeve Length: measure from the shoulder seam (where the sleeve is attached) down to the cuff. For dropped-shoulder styles, measure from the highest shoulder point to cuff for a better fit picture.
5. Shoulder Width: measure seam-to-seam across the upper back. On drop-shoulder styles this will be wider than a set-shoulder fit.

Measuring Your Body (to choose the right size)

1. Bust: wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor and not too tight—relaxed breathing position.
2. Shoulder Width: measure from one shoulder bone to the other across the back for a reference on sleeve fit.
3. Arm Length: with the arm slightly bent, measure from the shoulder point down to the wrist for sleeve comfort.
4. Torso Length: measure from the base of the neck (nape) down to where you want the hem to fall (hip or mid-thigh for longline styles).
5. Compare measurements: pick a cardigan measurement that gives you 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) of wearing ease for a relaxed look; add more ease if you plan to layer bulky sweaters underneath.

Fit Notes & Sizing Advice

• The ribbed knit with moderate stretch offers comfortable movement while keeping a defined silhouette.
• Because of the longline cut and dropped shoulders, the piece skews relaxed—choose your usual size for a true-to-size, slightly oversized look, or size up if you want roomy layering space for thicker knits.
• If you prefer a cleaner, more tailored appearance when buttoned, consider selecting the size closest to your body measurements with minimal extra ease.

Color, Print & How to Combine

The floral motif reads as a versatile focal point—pair it with solid neutrals to let the print shine or pick one tone from the print for tonal coordination. Outfit ideas:

• Casual weekend: fitted tee, straight-leg jeans and clean white sneakers; cardigan worn open.
• Office-smart: buttoned over a lightweight blouse with tapered trousers and loafers.
• Date or brunch: cinch the waist with a slim belt over the cardigan, wear with a midi skirt and ankle boots.
• Layering: thin turtleneck underneath for cooler days; camisole or tank on warmer days.

Style & Occasion

This piece bridges casual and polished. The longline length and button-front make it appropriate for relaxed office settings, everyday errands, travel or weekend plans—styled up or down depending on accessories and underlayers.

Seasonal Suitability

Ideal for transitional seasons—spring and fall—when you want coverage without bulk. It also works well for cool summer evenings and as a midlayer during milder winter days when paired with a coat outdoors.

Care Tips & Fit Maintenance

• Wash gently: turn garment inside out and use a cold, gentle machine cycle or hand wash to preserve color and knit texture.
• Dry carefully: tumble on low or, to minimize wear, reshape and lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat which can harm synthetic fibers.
• Pilling prevention: wash inside a mesh bag and avoid abrasive surfaces; use a fabric shaver as needed to refresh the surface.
• Storage: fold knitwear rather than hanging long-term to prevent shoulder stretching; if hanging briefly, use padded hangers.
• Ironing & steaming: if needed, use a low-temperature steam or iron setting and protect with a cloth between the iron and fabric.

Care Guide — Keep It Lovely Longer

1. Before washing, fasten buttons and turn the cardigan inside out to protect the print and reduce friction on the ribbed surface.
2. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or harsh additives. For scent protection, avoid heavy perfumes directly on fabric.
3. Dry promptly after washing. If you choose machine drying, remove promptly and smooth the garment to reduce wrinkles.
4. For stubborn pills, a low-power fabric shaver or pill comb will restore a clean finish—test on an inconspicuous area first.
5. Store folded in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; occasional airing keeps the fibers fresh.

Style Tips

• Create balance: pair the longline shape with slimmer bottoms—skinny jeans, leggings or a pencil skirt—to avoid overwhelming proportions.
• Highlight the print: keep the rest of the outfit in muted tones and let a single color from the floral motif dictate shoes or accessories.
• Dress it up: button through, add a slim belt and heeled booties for a polished silhouette.
• Casual ease: wear open over a graphic tee and high-waisted jeans for an off-duty, layered look.
• Jewelry: delicate chains or small hoop earrings complement the V-neck without competing with the print.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this cardigan lined?

The construction is single-layer knit—unlined—so it layers smoothly without added bulk.

Does it run true to size?

Generally true to size for a relaxed longline fit. If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, consider sizing up for extra ease.

Will it shrink after washing?

With proper care—cold wash, gentle cycle and low-heat drying or flat drying—shrinkage is minimal. Avoid high-heat settings to preserve fiber integrity.

Can I iron it?

Use a low iron or gentle steam and protect the garment with a pressing cloth. High heat can distort synthetic fibers.

How to remove pills?

Pilling can occur over time with friction. A fabric shaver or pill comb used gently will renew the surface.

Is it suitable for travel?

Yes. Its wrinkle-resistant nature, lightweight warmth and easy care make it a practical travel layering piece.
