Printed Open Front Lapel Collar Cardigan with Pockets | Gray / S 100100775591758

How to measure this cardigan

For the most accurate fit, measure a cardigan that already fits you well or measure the garment laid flat on a smooth surface. Use a soft measuring tape and record measurements in inches or centimeters.

1. Chest / Bust (laid flat): Measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other. Double the number to get the full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
3. Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam down the outer sleeve to the end of the cuff. If there is no defined shoulder seam (raglan), measure from center back neck to the cuff and subtract the neck-to-shoulder distance if needed.
4. Garment length: From the highest point of the shoulder (next to the collar) straight down to the hem.
5. Hem width: Measure across the bottom edge and double for the full hem circumference.
6. Armhole / Sleeve opening: Measure across the armhole seam and double for circumference, or measure around the armhole if possible.
7. Pocket placement & size: Measure from the shoulder seam or neckline down to the top of the pocket; measure pocket width and depth so you know what it will hold.

Body measuring tips: Measure your chest/bust at the fullest point, waist at the narrowest point and hips at the fullest point. For layering, add 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) of ease for a regular relaxed fit; add 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) for an oversized look. If you’re between sizes, choose the larger size for easier layering.

Materials & fabric information

Check the garment label for the exact fiber content. Printed open-front cardigans are often made from knit blends chosen for drape, comfort and print clarity. Common fibers and what to expect from each:

• Polyester: Durable, colorfast and wrinkle-resistant; holds prints well. Care: machine wash cold on gentle, tumble low or lay flat to dry.
• Viscose / Rayon: Soft, fluid drape with a smooth hand; may be more delicate. Care: hand wash or machine wash cold gentle, reshape and dry flat to avoid distortion.
• Cotton blends: Breathable and comfortable; may shrink slightly. Care: wash cold and tumble low or dry flat.
• Acrylic: Lightweight, warm and usually affordable; may pill over time. Care: wash inside out on gentle cycle and remove pills as needed.
• Elastane / Spandex (small %): Adds stretch and recovery; avoid high heat to maintain elasticity.

Printed fabric tips: Turn the cardigan inside out before washing to protect the print. Avoid chlorine bleach and prolonged direct sunlight to keep colors vibrant.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

• Washing: Machine wash cold on gentle cycle or hand wash. Always turn printed garments inside out before laundering.
• Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid chlorine bleach; if needed use non-chlorine bleach sparingly.
• Drying: Reshape and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and stretching. Avoid high-heat tumble drying; if you must tumble dry, use the lowest setting.
• Ironing / Steaming: Iron on low heat from the reverse side or use a steamer. Use a pressing cloth over prints to prevent shine or damage.
• Pilling & snags: Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver. For pulls, carefully pull the loose thread to the inside with a small crochet hook or needle—do not cut close to the fabric.
• Spot care: Treat stains promptly with a mild stain remover or gentle soap. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Storage: Fold knits and store flat to avoid shoulder stretching. If hanging, use wide, padded hangers. Store in breathable bags and use cedar or lavender to deter moths.
• General: Air garments between wears to reduce washing frequency and preserve print and fabric life; always follow any care icons on the garment label.

Style tips

• Everyday casual: Layer over a plain tee or tank, pair with slim jeans and white sneakers. Roll the sleeves for an effortless vibe.
• Office-ready: Wear over a fitted blouse or lightweight turtleneck with tapered trousers or a pencil skirt. Add loafers or low heels and a slim belt to define the waist.
• Date night & dressing up: Belt the cardigan over a slip dress or midi dress for a polished silhouette; finish with ankle boots or strappy heels and bold earrings.
• Travel-friendly: Use as a cozy layer on flights—pockets keep small essentials within reach. Choose neutral base layers and let the printed cardigan be the focal point.
• Color coordination: Pick one color from the print to echo in a top, shoe or accessory. Pair bold prints with solids and subtle textures to avoid visual competition.
• Silhouette tips: Wear open for a relaxed, draped look; add a belt to create waist definition. Pair with slim bottoms to balance volume.
