Angel Wings Open Front Duster Cardigan with Pockets | Light Gray / S 100100732674915

Overview

A longline, open-front duster designed to layer without effort — pockets for everyday convenience and a soft knit that drapes. This piece acts like a lightweight coat, instantly finishing outfits from jeans-and-tee to dresses and office separates. Packable, low-maintenance and generous in movement, it's built to be worn often.

Fabric & material details

The knit is a three-component synthetic blend that combines the tactile softness and wool-like hand of acrylic with the strength, color stability and quick-dry properties of polyester, plus nylon’s tensile strength and improved recovery. Together the fibers create a resilient, stretchy fabric with good drape that holds shape and resists shrinkage compared with many natural fibers.

What each fiber brings

• Acrylic: soft, warm and lightweight with a wool-like feel; good for a cozy hand.
• Polyester: durable, colorfast and quick to dry; helps the garment keep its shape and resist wrinkles.
• Nylon: adds strength, abrasion resistance and improved stretch/recovery for a smooth silhouette.

Fabric advantages — pros

• Soft, cozy hand that feels comfortable next to skin.
• Lightweight warmth — ideal for layering without bulk.
• Durable and shape-retaining; stands up to frequent wear.
• Machine-washable-friendly fibers that dry quickly.
• Colors remain vibrant longer and the knit resists excessive wrinkling.
• Good stretch and recovery for an easy, forgiving fit.

Fabric disadvantages — cons

• Like most synthetic knits, it can develop small pills over time with friction.
• Less breathable than natural fibers — can feel warm in very hot weather.
• Prone to static cling in dry conditions.
• Not biodegradable; environmental impact is higher than natural fiber alternatives unless recycled yarns are used.
• High heat can damage fibers — avoid hot irons and dryers on high settings.

How to measure — step-by-step

Measure your body (for best fit)

• Bust/Chest: measure around the fullest part of your chest with the tape parallel to the floor and arms relaxed.
• Waist: measure around the natural waist (the narrowest part) while standing relaxed.
• Hips: measure around the fullest part of your hips/seat.
• Shoulder width: measure from shoulder point to shoulder point across the back (use a mirror or helper).
• Sleeve length: measure from the shoulder point down along the outside of the arm to the wrist.
• Torso/length preference: measure from the high point of shoulder (near the base of the neck) down to where you want the hem to sit (mid-thigh, knee, etc.).

Measure a garment you already own (best comparison)

• Lay the garment flat on a hard surface and smooth out wrinkles.
• Chest across: measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other, then double that number for circumference.
• Shoulder: measure across from seam to seam at the top of the back.
• Sleeve: measure from shoulder seam to cuff or from center back neck to cuff, depending on the style you want to match.
• Length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder down to the hem.
• Compare those flat measurements to the product measurements listed on the size guide; allow for desired ease (see below).

How to choose the right fit — fit notes

• The duster is designed with a relaxed silhouette and built-in stretch. For a classic draped look, choose your usual size.
• If you plan to layer bulky sweaters underneath, consider the next size up to preserve comfort and range of motion.
• For a more tailored appearance (less volume), select the smaller of two sizes when you fall between sizes and layer only lightweight tops.
• Length will visually vary with height — if you’re petite, the piece will appear longer; if you’re tall, it will read closer to a traditional duster length.
• Allow roughly 2–5 inches of additional chest ease for comfortable wear; add more ease if you intend to wear thick knits underneath.

About the model and imagery

The styling photos show the garment on a model wearing a small-size sample so you can judge drape, sleeve length and how the hem falls. Use the visual proportion — how it sits on the model’s torso and hips — as a guide when comparing to your own measurements. If in doubt, compare a similar long cardigan you already wear to the product measurements provided by the retailer.

Color & how to combine the garment

This longline cardigan is a versatile layering piece that blends easily into many palettes. Neutral tones create an elegant, pared-down capsule look; richer hues add a seasonal pop; lighter tones feel fresh in spring.

Pairing ideas

• Casual: white tee, slim jeans, low-top sneakers, and a crossbody bag.
• Office: tailored trousers, a fitted blouse, ankle boots, and a long pendant necklace.
• Weekend/Travel: leggings, slip-on sneakers, scarf, and the cardigan as a lightweight travel layer.
• Dressy: slip dress or knit dress with a slim belt over the cardigan to define the waist; add heeled boots or mules.
• Layering: turtlenecks, button-ups or thin knits work well underneath without adding bulk.

Style & occasions

The open-front duster is a multi-occasion staple — casual errands, office layering, travel comfort, and evening layered looks. It reads modern and effortless, complementing both minimalist and bohemian wardrobes.

Season suitability

• Best for transitional seasons: spring and fall.
• Useful in cool summer evenings and for indoor winter layering under a coat.
• Not intended as a standalone heavy-winter coat in very cold climates; layer accordingly.

Care tips & quick maintenance

• Wash gently in cool water and use a mild detergent to maintain softness and color.
• Turn the cardigan inside out before washing to reduce surface abrasion and pilling.
• Use a mesh laundry bag on machine wash or hand wash for best long-term results.
• Lay flat to dry and reshape the garment to retain its silhouette; if using a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting sparingly.
• Remove pills as they appear with a sweater comb or electric fabric shaver — do so gently and regularly to keep the knit looking new.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Spot-treat stains immediately with a gentle detergent and cold water — blot, don’t rub.
2. Wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash; flip inside out and secure any fasteners on adjacent items to prevent snags.
3. Dry flat on a towel away from direct heat and sunlight. Smooth seams and edges to their original shape while damp.
4. When pilling occurs, hold the fabric taut and shave or comb pills carefully. Avoid cutting pills with scissors.
5. Store folded in a cool, dry place. If hanging, use a wide, padded hanger to avoid shoulder distortion and consider a breathable garment bag for long-term storage.
6. Avoid direct contact with high-heat irons — use a low steam setting and a press cloth if necessary.

Style tips — quick outfit recipes

• Streamlined casual: monochrome tee + skinny jeans + ankle boots + long pendant; cardigan left open.
• Belted shape: add a thin leather belt over the cardigan to create a waist and wear with wide-leg trousers.

• Comfort travel: fitted tee + leggings + slip-on shoes; cardigan keeps you cozy on flights and compresses easily into luggage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the cardigan true to size?

Yes — the design is meant to be relaxed. Choose your normal size for the look shown; size up for room to layer thick knits.

Will this pill?

All synthetic knits can pill with friction. This blend is engineered for durability, but occasional pilling is normal. Use a fabric shaver or sweater comb to refresh the surface.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes — gentle washing in cool water is suitable. For best longevity, place it in a mesh laundry bag or hand wash. Lay flat to dry to preserve shape.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It provides lightweight warmth and is excellent for layering. In very cold temperatures, use it as a mid-layer under a heavier coat rather than the only outer layer.

Are the pockets functional?

Yes — pockets are practical for essentials like keys, lip balm or small phone models; they add functional style to the silhouette.

How do I remove snags?

Gently coax pulled loops to the inside with a needle or small crochet hook; avoid cutting threads to prevent holes. If in doubt, seek a professional repair.

Does the fabric hold color well?

Polyester’s colorfastness helps the blend keep its hue. To maintain color vibrancy, wash with similar tones and avoid prolonged sun exposure when drying.
