Angel Wings Button-Up V-Neck Dropped Shoulder Cardigan | Black / S 100100330203402

Overview

A longline knit cardi designed for an effortlessly relaxed silhouette: deep V, button front and dropped shoulders combine to form a layered-friendly piece you can wear as an everyday topper or a travel staple. The construction emphasizes a soft drape, generous sleeve length and extra body coverage so it looks equally good buttoned up as a lightweight sweater or left open over tees and dresses.

Fabric advantages — Pros & Cons

Pros

• Lightweight warmth and a soft, wool-like hand while remaining machine-washable and easy-care.
• Excellent color retention and resistance to fading — the knit keeps tones vivid wash after wash.
• Good stretch and recovery: the fabric moves with your body and returns to shape quickly.
• Durable and abrasion-resistant thanks to the synthetic reinforcement — practical for frequent wear and travel.
• Wrinkle resistant so it packs and unpacks without much fuss.

Cons

• Can develop pilling in high-friction areas (underarms, cuffs, bag straps) over time; regular maintenance helps reduce visible pills.
• Less breathable than many natural fibers, so it’s best in cool or transitional weather rather than high heat.
• Prone to static cling in dry conditions; a humidifier, anti-static spray or dryer sheet helps control this.
• Being synthetic, it can shed microfibers during washing — consider a washing bag or filter to reduce shedding into wastewater.
• Sensitive to high heat — avoid hot irons and very high dryer temperatures to prevent misshaping.

Materials — what they are and what they mean

This cardigan is made from a synthetic knit blend that combines a soft, wool-like fiber with a stronger synthetic filament. The dominant fiber provides the cosy hand and insulating qualities, while the secondary filament improves tensile strength, abrasion resistance and shape retention.

Quick notes on each fibre group:

• Acrylic-like fibers: engineered to mimic wool — warm, soft, and colorfast. They are lightweight and quick-drying but can attract static and pill under friction.
• Polyester-like filaments: add durability, reduce shrinkage, and help the garment keep its silhouette. Polyester is highly resilient and dries rapidly, making care easier.

Environmental note: synthetic fibers are not biodegradable and can release microplastics when laundered. Washing cold on gentle cycles, using a mesh washing bag, or a microfiber-catching device will reduce fiber loss to wastewater.

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

Measure your body

1. Bust / Chest: Wrap a soft tape measure around the widest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Breathe naturally; don’t hold breath in or pull tape too tight.
2. Shoulder width: Measure across your back from one shoulder bone to the other in a straight line. For dropped-shoulder styles, shoulder seam placement is lower, so this is mainly for reference.
3. Sleeve length (for fit): Measure from the center back of your neck, across the shoulder, and down to your wrist — this gives a consistent sleeve length to compare to product specs.
4. Torso length: From the base of the neck at the spine straight down to where you want the hem to sit.
5. Upper arm / biceps: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your upper arm if you plan to layer thicker garments underneath.

Measure a garment laid flat

1. Bust (garment): Lay the cardi flat, smooth it without stretching, measure straight across from armpit to armpit, then double that number to get the full chest measurement.
2. Shoulder (garment): Measure seam to seam across the back. For dropped shoulders, also check where the sleeve joins the body because seam placement shifts the visual fit.
3. Sleeve length (garment): Measure from the shoulder seam to cuff. If the product lists center-back sleeve length, measure from the center back neck to the cuff for consistency.
4. Back length: From the center back at the neckline down to the hem.

How to choose your size using measurements

1) Take your bust measurement. 2) Decide the amount of wearing ease you want: about 2–4 inches for a closer fit, 4–8 inches for a relaxed look, and 8–12 inches for an intentionally oversized silhouette. 3) Choose the size whose garment bust measurement meets or exceeds your body measurement plus your desired ease. Because this knit has generous stretch, you can often choose fewer inches of ease than you would for a woven jacket.

Fit notes & model information

The design intentionally reads relaxed: dropped shoulders and extended sleeves give a slouchy, modern volume. Expect the piece to drape rather than structure the body. If you prefer a more tailored look, choose one size smaller than you might in a traditional blazer; if you want room for chunky sweaters underneath, size up.

How it sits on different bodies:

• Petite: The longline hem may reach lower on the leg — cuff sleeves or choose a smaller size for a proportionally shorter look.
• Tall: Length is flattering and provides coverage; you’ll preserve the relaxed drape with your usual size.
• Curvier / full bust: The knit’s stretch helps with comfort when buttoned; consider one size up if you want less tension across the chest.
• Broad shoulders: The dropped seam softens shoulder width, making the top line less boxy and more forgiving.

Color & how to combine this garment

A check-style or graphic motif reads sharp against simple, clean basics. Neutral or soft two-tone versions play well with denim, tailored trousers and tonal knits. Brighter or high-contrast palettes pair best with solids to avoid visual competition.

• Casual: white tee, straight-leg jeans and white sneakers for an everyday look.
• Smart-casual: thin turtleneck, ankle boots and a mid-rise tailored pant; add a slim belt to define the waist if desired.
• Layered feminine: lightweight slip dress or midi skirt with ankle boots — let the cardi hang open to frame the silhouette.
• Accessories: long pendant necklaces or slim chains complement the V-neck; add a textured scarf on chillier days.

Style & occasions

This cardigan sits squarely in casual, everyday wardrobes with a modern relaxed edge. It works for weekend coffees, remote-work comfort, office-casual with polished separates, and as a versatile travel layering piece. Use it as a mid-layer under coats in winter or as a top layer for cool spring evenings.

Season suitability

• Best for fall, winter and early spring as a warm mid-layer.
• Also suitable for cool summer nights if you expect only light insulation needs.
• For very cold climates, pair with an insulated outer layer; for milder seasons wear over tees and light shirts.

Care tips & quick fit reminders

Fit reminders

• If you plan to button the cardi over a bulky sweater, size up to maintain comfortable movement through the shoulders and chest.
• For a sleeker silhouette, choose the size that gives 2–4 inches of ease at the bust.
• Because the fabric stretches, avoid leaving it heavily weighted on hangers for long periods — fold to keep the hem and shoulders neat.

Quick care tips

• Turn the cardigan inside-out before washing to protect the surface and reduce pilling.
• Wash on a gentle cycle with like colors and mild detergent; avoid high temperatures.
• Reshape while damp and dry flat to maintain silhouette and prevent stretching.
• Use a lint brush or fabric shaver to handle pilling — treat gently to avoid thinning the knit.

Care Guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Before washing: Fasten buttons, turn the garment inside out and check pockets. Treat any visible stains promptly with a gentle, fiber-safe stain remover or a spot clean with cold water and mild soap.
2. Machine washing: Use cold water on a delicate or gentle cycle. A mesh laundry bag reduces friction and fiber loss. Use a mild liquid detergent and skip bleach.
3. Drying: Reshape the cardi and dry flat on a clean towel or drying rack away from direct heat or sunlight. If using a dryer, choose the lowest-heat or air-dry setting and remove promptly to avoid over-drying.
4. Ironing and steaming: If needed, steam from a short distance or use a cool iron with a pressing cloth; avoid direct, high heat which can alter synthetic fibers.
5. Pilling and surface wear: Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or pill comb. Address small snags by tucking the loose loop back through to the inside with a crochet hook or blunt needle rather than cutting it.
6. Storage: Fold and store in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, add a moth deterrent that does not touch the fabric directly. Avoid prolonged hanging to prevent shoulder stretch.
7. Reduce microfiber loss: Wash cold, gentle cycles, and consider a microfiber-capturing device or bag to limit shedding into waterways.

Style tips — how to wear it

• Belting: Button partway and add a slim leather belt to instantly create a defined waist and a chic, structured silhouette.
• Layering: Wear over a thin turtleneck for warmth and a smart-casual office outfit, or over a tee for a relaxed daytime look.
• Proportions: Because the cardi is long, balance the line with slimmer bottoms — skinny jeans, tailored trousers or fitted skirts work well.
• Casual contrast: Combine with distressed denim and low-top sneakers for an easy weekend outfit.
• Dress it up: Fasten the buttons, add statement earrings and heeled ankle boots for a date-night-ready take.
• Accessories: Keep necklaces long to complement the V-neck; layer thin bracelets to draw attention to the sleeve length.

FAQ

Is the fit true to size?

Generally yes for a relaxed look. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down; size up if you plan to layer bulky knits underneath.

Will it pill?

Some pilling is possible over time in high-friction zones. Regular gentle de-pilling and turning the item inside out during washing will reduce visible pills.

Can I iron it?

Use a low setting and a pressing cloth, or better yet, steam gently. High heat can damage synthetic fibers.

How warm is it?

It provides moderate insulation—great as a mid-layer for cool weather. For very cold conditions pair it with an insulated outer layer.

Will it shrink?

Shrinkage is minimal when you follow gentle washing and low-heat drying instructions. High heat may distort shape, so avoid it.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Most people are comfortable wearing this blend. If you have very sensitive skin, wear a lightweight cotton or silk layer underneath to prevent irritation.

How do I stop static?

Use a humidifier, an anti-static spray or a dryer sheet in the dryer (low-heat cycle) to reduce static cling.

What if I need a replacement button?

Buttons are standard and easily replaced with a few stitches. Keep an eye on loose threads and reinforce buttons early to avoid loss.

Where can I find exact size specs and model details?

Refer to the product’s size chart on the product page and the model information shown in the images for precise visual reference.
