Multicolor Geometric Color Block Open Front Long Cardigan | Multicolor / XS 100101981363578

Product overview

A longline open-front cardigan with bold geometric color-blocking that instantly upgrades simple outfits. The open silhouette creates an easy layering piece that drapes over tees, blouses or lightweight sweaters and works as a statement top layer for casual, travel and smart-casual looks. The knit construction includes a small amount of stretch so it moves with you, and the opaque finish gives reliable coverage. Designed to be worn over different shapes, it’s ideal for adding color and pattern without additional bulk.

Ready-to-wear benefits: low-maintenance care, shape retention from the stretch component, and a long cut that provides coverage and a flattering vertical line.

Fabric advantages — pros and cons

• Pros
  • Durable and colourfast: synthetic fibers hold dyes well so the vibrant color-block pattern stays vivid wash after wash.
  • Low-maintenance: quick-drying, wrinkle-resistant and easy to launder compared with many natural knits.
  • Shape retention: the small amount of elastic fiber gives recovery so the cardigan keeps its silhouette and resists sagging.
  • Comfort and mobility: slight stretch allows comfortable arm movement without feeling restrictive.
  • Lightweight warmth: mid-weight drape gives just enough insulation for layering without heavy bulk.
• Cons
  • Less breathable than many natural fibers — can be warmer in high heat or very humid conditions.
  • Potential for pilling and static with frequent abrasion; some surface wear is possible over long-term use.
  • Sensitive to high heat and chlorinated exposure — avoid hot ironing and harsh bleaches that reduce elasticity.
  • Environmental considerations: synthetic fibers are not biodegradable and can release microfibers when washed; taking steps to reduce shedding helps.

Materials — what they are and what to expect

This cardigan is made from a synthetic knit blended with a small percentage of an elastic fiber. The primary fiber provides durability, colourfastness and easy care; the elastic fiber gives stretch and recovery so the garment holds its shape day-to-day.

Key material points:

• Primary synthetic fiber: strong, quick-drying and resistant to shrinking and wrinkling; it retains bold dyes so prints and color blocks remain bright.
• Elastic component (elastane/spandex): added in small amounts to give comfortable stretch and memory — it allows the cardigan to move with you and spring back into shape.
• Care considerations: avoid prolonged exposure to heat, bleach or strong solvents to maintain the elastic fiber’s performance.
• Sustainability note: synthetics can shed microfibers in the wash. Use short, cold cycles, mesh bags and microfiber filters where possible to reduce shedding.

How to measure the garment (step‑by‑step)

If you want to compare this cardigan to a piece you already own, measure the garment flat on a table. Do not stretch the fabric while measuring.

• Bust / chest: Lay the cardigan flat, smooth it, measure from underarm seam to underarm seam across the front, then multiply that number by two to get full circumference.
• Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam (where the sleeve is attached) down the outer sleeve to the cuff.
• Overall length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (or center back neck if that’s your reference) straight down to the hem.
• Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem and double it for total circumference.

Note: because the knit has a little give, a small amount of measurement tolerance is normal. When comparing, account for intended ease (see “How to choose your size” below).

How to measure yourself and choose the right fit

1. Take body measurements
   • Bust: measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor and relaxed breathing.
   • Shoulder width: measure from the outer bone at one shoulder to the other across the top of the back.
   • Arm length: with arm slightly bent, measure from shoulder point to wrist.
   • Height and torso length: note your height and where you usually like cardigans to fall (hip, mid-thigh, knee).
2. Decide desired ease
   • For a layered look over sweaters: allow extra room (several centimetres/inches) beyond your bust measurement.
   • For a sleeker, close-to-body look: aim for minimal extra room while remembering this is an open-front design and does not need a skin-tight fit.
3. Match to the garment measurement
   • Compare your body measurement + desired ease to the measured garment bust/length. Choose the size where the garment measurement is equal to or slightly larger than your target measurement.
4. If you’re between sizes
   • Pick the larger size if you plan to layer bulky knits underneath or prefer a relaxed drape. Pick the smaller size for a neater silhouette across the shoulders.

Model & fit reference (how to interpret photos)

Product photos usually show how the cardigan hangs on a model wearing a sample size. Model height, posture and the way the garment is styled influence perceived length and fit. Use the measurement guidance above and compare the visual fall to your own preferred length (hip vs thigh) rather than relying on model height alone.

Quick tips: if the hem falls mid-thigh on the model and you are shorter, expect the hem to sit higher on your leg; if you are taller, expect it to fall lower.

Color & how to combine it

The geometric color-block design makes the cardigan the focal point of an outfit. To build complementary looks:

• Keep the base neutral: a white or black tee and classic denim keep the pattern front-and-centre.
• Pick one color from the pattern for a coordinated accent — shoes, a handbag or a belt in that hue ties the outfit together.
• For a polished look, pair the cardigan with slim, dark trousers and ankle boots; for relaxed weekend wear, layer it over a tee and your favourite jeans with sneakers.
• Accessories: minimal jewellery works best with busy patterns. A long pendant or delicate studs maintain balance.

Style & occasions

This cardigan is a versatile, statement layering piece. Wear it for:

• Casual everyday—over tees, tanks and relaxed denim.
• Smart-casual—over a blouse with tailored trousers for office-appropriate looks where patterns are welcome.
• Travel—lightweight, easy to care for and comfortable on flights or long drives.
• Weekend dressing—throw it on over a dress or leggings for a colorful, effortless finish.

Season suitability

Best for transitional seasons (spring and autumn) and for layering in cooler months. It also serves well for cooler summer evenings or air-conditioned interiors. For very cold winter conditions, pair under a coat or use as an insulating mid-layer.

Fit notes & quick care tips

• Fit notes: Slight stretch means comfortable movement; if you plan heavy layering choose one size up for better sleeve and torso room. The longline cut creates a slimming vertical line but can appear different on petite vs tall frames — check length preference before selecting size.
• Quick care tips: Wash gently in cool water, avoid strong heat and harsh chemicals, and reshape while damp. Store folded or on a supportive hanger to preserve shoulder shape.

Care guide — keep it looking lovely longer

1. Pre-wash: Treat stains gently with a mild detergent before laundering; avoid bleach.
2. Wash: Turn the cardigan inside out, use cool water and a gentle cycle or hand wash. Place in a mesh laundry bag to reduce abrasion.
3. Detergent: Use a mild, fibre-friendly detergent; avoid frequent use of fabric softener — it can coat elastic fibers and reduce stretch performance.
4. Dry: Lay flat to dry to maintain shape, or tumble on low only if manufacturer guidance allows. Reshape seams while damp to keep the silhouette neat.
5. Iron / steam: If needed, use low heat or a steam setting and avoid direct, prolonged contact with a hot iron to protect the elastic content.
6. Storage: Fold for long-term storage to prevent shoulder stretching; if hanging, use a wide, padded hanger and avoid overcrowding.
7. Pilling & snags: Remove pills gently with a fabric comb or shaver. Repair snags by easing the yarn to the inside and securing; avoid pulling.
8. Microfiber shedding: Reduce shedding by washing in cooler temperatures, using a mesh bag and installing a lint filter or using specialized bags/filters designed to capture microfibers.

FAQ

Is this cardigan true to size?

The knit includes a small amount of stretch, so it typically fits as expected. If you routinely layer bulky sweaters, choose the next size up for extra room. For a sleeker look, select your usual size.

Will the colors fade after washing?

The synthetic fiber base holds dye well; to preserve the brightness, wash gently in cool water, turn inside out and avoid long sun exposure while drying.

Does it pill easily?

All knitwear can develop pills in high-friction zones. Pilling can be minimized by washing inside out, using a laundry bag and avoiding abrasive surfaces when wearing.

Can I iron it?

Use low heat or a steam setting. High heat can damage the elastic fibers — steaming is safer for removing wrinkles and restoring drape.

Are there pockets or closures?

Some open-front designs include pockets; others do not. Check the product images and details on the product page to confirm for this specific style.

Is it suitable for travel?

Yes. The lightweight, low-maintenance knit is well suited to travel because it packs without heavy wrinkling and washes quickly.

Style tips — outfit ideas

• Everyday casual: White tee, mid-blue jeans, white sneakers. Let the cardigan be the colorful focal point.
• Office smart-casual: Slim black trousers, neutral blouse, ankle boots — add a simple leather bag for polish.
• Elevated weekend: Fitted turtleneck, leather-look leggings, heeled booties. Optionally cinch with a slim belt for a structured silhouette.
• Layered travel look: Soft tee, jogger or stretchy denim, slip-on shoes. Fold the cardigan into your carry-on for chilly cabins.
• Dress it up: Slip dress or midi skirt in a single color picked from the cardigan’s palette; add delicate gold or silver jewellery.
