Angel Wings Star Pattern Open Front Longline Cardigan | Mocha / M 100100995215258

Overview

A relaxed longline cardigan featuring a bold star motif and an open-front silhouette that works as an outer layer or a mid-weight top layer. The knit has a soft hand and a touch of stretch so it moves with you; its extended length creates coverage and a laid-back, chic drape ideal for everyday wear. Designed to be an easy, wearable statement piece that transitions smoothly from casual errands to layered, polished outfits.

Material details

This piece is made from a synthetic knit blend so its behavior and care differ from natural fibers. Short primer on the fibers used:

• Acrylic: a synthetic fiber engineered to mimic the warmth and softness of wool without the itch. Acrylic holds dye well (colors stay vibrant), is lightweight, dries quickly, and feels soft to the touch. It can be prone to pilling over time if exposed to abrasion.
• Polyester: a durable, low-maintenance synthetic added for strength, shape retention and abrasion resistance. It helps the garment keep its silhouette and recover from wear, and it dries very quickly.
• Blended benefit: combining acrylic with a small percentage of polyester gives a soft, warm hand with improved durability and easier care than many natural knits. Expect good colorfastness, comfortable warmth for cool weather, and relatively low-maintenance laundering compared with delicate natural fibers.
• Environmental note: both fibers are plastic-based and not biodegradable; gentle washing methods (mesh bags, filters) reduce microfiber release and extend garment life.

Fabric advantages — pros & cons

Pros

• Soft, wool-like feel without animal fibers — comfortable next to skin for many people.
• Light to midweight warmth that layers well over tees, shirts and light sweaters.
• Color holds well; star pattern stays vibrant wash after wash if cared for correctly.
• Easy-care compared with delicate natural knits: quick drying and wrinkle-resistant.
• Stretch and recovery give comfortable movement and maintain silhouette.
• Affordable and durable for regular wear.

Cons

• Can pill in high-friction areas (under arms, where a bag rubs). Pilling is cosmetic and removable but likely over time.
• Less breathable than many natural fibers — not ideal for very warm climates or active wear.
• Prone to static in dry air; may cling slightly without anti-static measures.
• Sensitive to high heat — ironing or drying at high temperatures can distort fibers.
• Environmental impact: synthetic microfiber shedding and non-biodegradable composition.

Garment measurements (approximate)

Use these garment measurements to compare with your body measurements and preferred ease. The bust listed is the garment circumference measured around the fullest part.

Measurements are approximate and intended to help you choose the level of ease (room) you prefer. Longline cardigans are typically designed with relaxed ease for layering.

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

Measuring your body

1. Wear a thin top or the bra you plan to wear most often with the cardigan.
2. Chest/Bust: wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, across the nipples and under the armpits. Keep tape level and relaxed — don't hold your breath.
3. Waist: measure at the narrowest point (natural waist).
4. Hips: measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
5. Torso length (optional): measure from the base of the neck at center back down to where you want the cardigan to hit.
6. Sleeve: with arm relaxed at your side, measure from the shoulder seam point (or from the center back of the neck across shoulder to wrist) depending on the style you want to match.

Measuring a garment flat (to check fit)

1. Lay the cardigan flat on a smooth surface, smoothing out wrinkles without stretching.
2. Bust (flat): measure across the front at the fullest point, from seam to seam. Double that number to get the circumference.
3. Sleeve length: measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff's edge.
4. Back length: measure from the center back at the base of the neck down to the hem.
5. Shoulder (if present): measure seam to seam across the back.

How to choose your size

Decide how much ease you want:

• For a fitted look: choose a garment bust about 1–3 inches larger than your chest measurement.
• For a relaxed, layered look (typical for longline cardigans): choose a garment bust 4–8 inches larger than your chest measurement.
• Example: if your bust is 34 in and you want a relaxed layer, select a size whose garment bust is roughly 38–42 in. The model pictured is 5'6" with a 34" bust and wears size S; the S garment bust is 41" which gives a relaxed, layered fit for reference.

Model information

Reference fit: the photos use a model who is 5'6" with measurements 34" bust / 25" waist / 35" hips and is shown wearing a size S. This gives a relaxed, slightly oversized drape through the body and a mid-thigh length on that height — use as a guide for how the length will sit on you.

Color & how to combine the garment

The star motif creates instant visual interest — treat the cardigan as the focal point of your outfit. Pairing suggestions:

• Keep the base neutral: white tee or black turtleneck and classic denim for an everyday look that lets the pattern pop.
• Layer textures: leather or faux-suede bottoms with booties lend a modern contrast to the soft knit.
• Dress it up: wear over a slip dress or midi skirt with a low-contrast or tonal shoe for a polished yet playful outfit.
• Casual weekend: leggings or skinny jeans, a long tee and sneakers or low boots for comfortable layering.
• Accessory tips: fine necklaces or stacked rings keep the focus on the pattern; a wide belt can reclaim the waist if you want a more defined silhouette.

Style & intended use

The open-front longline cut is inherently versatile — use it as a lightweight outer layer over tees and shirts, or as a cosy indoor layer over thin knits. It works well for everyday styling, travel (packs reasonably, recovers shape quickly), casual office environments when paired with structured pieces, and layered weekend dressing. The star pattern gives the cardigan a playful, modern edge that easily elevates simple basics.

Season suitability

• Best for cooler weather: ideal for fall and spring transitions and useful as an indoor layer during winter.
• Not recommended for hot summer days — the knit holds warmth.
• Portable for travel: midweight knit that layers well in mixed-weather trips.

Care tips & fit notes

Fit notes

• Designed with relaxed ease: you can size down for a closer fit or size up for more layering room and a slouchier silhouette.
• Open-front silhouette creates a vertical line — visually lengthening. Consider belting if you want more waist definition.
• Because of stretch, the knit will accommodate movement; repeated heavy strain (e.g., overstuffed bags) can accelerate wear in high-friction zones.

Quick care tips

• Wash with like colors and avoid high heat.
• Turn garment inside out before washing to reduce abrasion on the pattern surface.
• Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or pumice-style sweater comb when needed.
• Store folded rather than hanging to prevent shoulder stretching and distortion of length.
• If static is an issue, use a dryer sheet briefly on low heat or an anti-static spray.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

1. Pre-treat spots with a mild detergent or a gentle stain remover; dab rather than rub to avoid distressing the knit.
2. Turn inside out and place the cardigan in a mesh laundry bag to protect the surface during a machine wash.
3. Machine wash on a delicate or gentle cycle in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh additives.
4. Either lay flat to dry on a clean towel (reshape while damp) or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting for a short time; prolonged high heat will damage fibers.
5. De-pill with a fabric shaver or sweater comb when small balls form; remove pills gently to maintain the fabric appearance.
6. Fold for storage and keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent color fade. For long-term storage, add a cedar sachet or lavender to deter moths (if natural fibers are present nearby).
7. To freshen between washes, air out on a hanger in a shaded area or use a steamer on a low setting; avoid direct contact with a hot iron.
8. Consider using a microfiber-catching laundry filter or a wash bag designed to trap microfibers to reduce environmental shedding.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Will the cardigan shrink?

Synthetic blends are more stable than natural fibers, so shrinkage is unlikely if you follow gentle care — cold wash and low heat drying or flat drying are safest.

Is the star pattern printed or knitted?

The pattern is integrated into the knit (not a removable surface print) which helps it withstand regular wear better than many surface prints. Integrated patterns are usually more durable to washing and abrasion.

Will it pill?

All synthetic knits can pill over time in high-friction areas. Light pilling is normal; pills can be removed with a fabric shaver to restore a smooth appearance.

Can it be ironed?

Avoid direct high-heat ironing. If needed, steam lightly or press with a cool iron through a pressing cloth to remove wrinkles. Test an inconspicuous area first.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

Many people find acrylic blends comfortable, but if you have very sensitive skin or allergies to synthetic fibers, wear a thin cotton layer beneath the cardigan to prevent direct contact.

How do I pick the right size?

Measure your bust and compare it to the garment bust in the measurements table. Add the amount of ease you prefer (4–8 in for a relaxed layer) and choose the size with that garment circumference.

Does it have pockets?

Pockets are not guaranteed — check the product images and details on the product page. If not shown, assume it is pocketless and plan outfit storage accordingly.

How should I remove lint or hair from this knit?

Use a lint roller or a slightly dampened microfiber cloth. For stubborn fibers, a fabric brush will lift debris without damaging the knit.

Style tips — outfit ideas

• Everyday casual: white tee, high-rise denim, ankle boots, and the cardigan worn open for a relaxed feel.
• Office casual: slim black turtleneck, tailored trousers, loafers or low heels; add delicate jewelry and keep the cardigan draped open.
• Cozy at home: long tee or sweatshirt, leggings, and slippers — the cardigan adds warmth without bulk.
• Layered chic: midi slip dress, ankle boots, and cardigan belted at the waist for evening or cooler days.
• Play with proportion: pair the longline cardigan with fitted bottoms and a tucked top to balance volume and keep the look polished.
• Accessorize: narrow belts, simple chains, or a felt hat complement the playful star motif without competing with it.
