Open Front Striped Long Sleeve Cardigan

How to measure

To choose the best size, measure either your body or a similar-fitting garment. Use a soft tape measure and keep it level around your body. Record measurements in both cm and inches if possible.

Measure your body

• Bust / Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Breathe normally while measuring.
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist (where you naturally bend).
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
• Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam point to shoulder seam point across the back.
• Sleeve length: With your arm relaxed, measure from the shoulder seam to the wrist bone (or from the center back of the neck to wrist for full arm length).
• Body length (HPS to hem): Measure from the high point of the shoulder (where shoulder meets the neck) straight down to the hem.

Measure a garment (recommended for best fit)

• Lay a similar-fitting cardigan flat on a surface and smooth out any wrinkles.
• Chest (flat): Measure 2.5 cm (1") below the armhole from side seam to side seam, then multiply by 2 for full circumference.
• Shoulder: Measure seam to seam across the back.
• Sleeve: Measure from shoulder seam to cuff.
• Length: Measure from HPS (high point of shoulder) to the hem.
• Hem width: Measure side-to-side at the hem and multiply by 2.
• Compare garment measurements with your body measurements and allow 2–6 cm (1–2½") extra ease for a relaxed fit or less ease for a more fitted look.

Materials & fabric details

This open-front striped cardigan is made from a soft knit designed for everyday layering. Exact composition can vary by color or season—always check the product label or product page for the precise breakdown. Typical knit blends for this style include cotton, viscose, acrylic, polyester and often a small percentage of elastane for stretch.

• Common features: Soft and breathable (cotton/viscose), lightweight warmth and easy care (acrylic/polyester), slight stretch and good recovery when elastane is present (1–5%).
• Construction: Generally unlined with ribbed cuffs and hem; open-front design for easy layering.
• Tip: If you have fiber sensitivities or need exact care instructions, consult the product label for the definitive fiber content.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always follow the garment care label first.
• Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Turn the cardigan inside out and use a mild detergent. Use a mesh laundry bag for delicate knits when machine washing.
• Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently reshape and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources to avoid shrinkage or distortion.
• Ironing & steaming: Use low heat if ironing is required, or steam to remove wrinkles. Avoid high heat on synthetic fibers.
• Pilling: Remove pills with a fabric shaver or sweater comb; do this gently to avoid damaging the knit.
• Storage: Fold knits rather than hanging them long-term to prevent shoulder stretching. If hanging, use wide or padded hangers and avoid heavy items pressing down on the shoulders.
• Spot care: Treat stains promptly with a gentle stain remover—test on a hidden area first.
• Professional care: Dry clean only if specified on the label or for delicate yarns and trims.

Style tips

• Everyday casual: Layer over a white tee and high-rise jeans with sneakers for an easy weekend outfit.
• Work-ready: Wear over a lightweight blouse with tailored trousers and loafers for a smart-casual office look.
• Dressed-up: Throw over a slip or midi dress and add a slim belt at the waist to create shape, finishing with ankle boots or heels.
• Balance proportions: If the cardigan is oversized, pair it with slim or tapered bottoms; if it’s fitted, use it as a sleek layering piece under coats.
• Mixing patterns: Keep the rest of your outfit simple—pair stripes with solids or very small-scale prints in complementary colors.
• Accessories: Add a long pendant necklace, lightweight scarf, or a structured bag to elevate the look.
• Travel tip: Fold the cardigan inside out and place near the top of your suitcase to minimize wrinkles; a quick steam on arrival refreshes the knit.
