Angel Wings Buttoned V-Neck Long Sleeve Cardigan | White / S 100100591880508

Product overview

A softly draping button-front cardigan created for everyday layering. The open V-shaped front and long sleeves create a flattering, easy-to-wear silhouette that works equally well over a tee, a lightweight blouse or a slim turtleneck. The shoulder seam is set lower for a relaxed, slouchy look that reads modern while remaining comfortable for all-day wear. Lightweight yet insulating, this knit is travel-friendly and easy to style from casual weekends to smart-casual office looks.

Material — what you should know

The yarn used here is a synthetic acrylic knit designed to mimic the soft hand and insulating qualities of natural wool while offering easier home care and strong color retention. Acrylic fibers are made from polymerized acrylonitrile and are engineered for consistent fiber diameter, bright color uptake, and a smooth finish. As a manufactured fiber, it is resilient to many household stains and dries quickly, making the piece low-maintenance for frequent wear.

Fabric advantages — pros

• Warmth with a lightweight feel — gives wool-like insulation without heaviness.
• Colorfast and resistant to fading — holds dye well over repeated washes.
• Easy care — machine-washable on gentle cycles and quick to dry.
• Soft and non-irritating for most wearers — a good alternative if you find wool itchy.
• Affordable and durable — resists stretching and retains shape when cared for properly.

Fabric considerations — cons

• Prone to pilling over time where there is friction (under arms, across straps, handbag contact).
• Less breathable than many natural fibers — may feel warm in hot, humid conditions.
• Sensitive to high heat — can melt or distort if ironed at too-high temperatures or tumble-dried on high.
• Environmental impact — petroleum-based and not readily biodegradable; recycling options are limited.

How to measure — body and garment

For the best fit, measure both your body and a similar garment you already own. Use a soft, flexible tape measure and keep it parallel to the floor where indicated.

Measuring your body (wearing a thin layer or bra)

1. Bust/Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest point of your chest, keeping the tape snug but not compressed.
2. Shoulder to wrist (sleeve length): From the point at the base of your neck (center back) across the shoulder and down to the wrist bone, or from the shoulder tip to the wrist depending on how sleeves are described.
3. Shoulder width: Measure from the outside edge of one shoulder bone to the other, across the back.
4. Torso length: From the top of the shoulder (near the base of the neck) straight down to where you want the hem to finish.

Measuring a garment laid flat

1. Chest width: Lay the cardigan flat and measure across from underarm seam to underarm seam. Double that number to get the full chest circumference.
2. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. If shoulder seam is dropped, measure from the actual seam point.
3. Back length: From highest point of shoulder (near neckline) to bottom hem.
4. Hem width: Measure flat across the bottom and double to get circumference.

Choosing ease: for a fitted look choose a garment chest measurement 0–1" (2–3 cm) larger than your body measurement; for a relaxed everyday fit allow 2–4" (5–10 cm) of ease; for layering over bulky tops allow 3–6" (8–15 cm).

Model & fit reference

Product imagery is typically shown on a photographic model wearing the brand’s sample size to convey proportions. Expect this cardigan to produce a relaxed, slightly slouchy silhouette: the lower shoulder seam creates softness across the upper arm and the hem generally lands around the top of the hip on average-height figures. If you prefer a more tailored look, consider the guidance above on ease and measuring and select a size closer to your body measurements.

Color and how to combine this garment

Because the knit is a solid, tonal piece it acts as a neutral foundation for many outfits. Here are easy combinations:

• Casual weekend: lightweight tee, high-rise jeans, white sneakers — leave the cardigan unbuttoned for a relaxed feel.
• Office-appropriate: slim trousers, silk blouse, ankle boots — button the cardigan and add a delicate necklace for polish.
• Layered warmth: thin turtleneck, midi skirt, tall boots — belt the cardigan at the waist to create shape.
• Evening-out: slip dress, low-heeled sandals, fold the cuffs and add statement earrings for contrast.

Color pairing tips: pair neutrals with saturated colors for contrast, mix pastels with light denim for a soft palette, or use this solid layer to anchor prints and textured fabrics.

Style notes

This cardigan reads modern-casual with flexible styling options. The V-front and button closure allow it to be worn open as a layering piece or closed as a lightweight top. The dropped-shoulder cut translates to a relaxed, slightly oversized aesthetic that suits casual, boho, and smart-casual wardrobes alike.

Season suitability

• Best for transitional seasons: spring and autumn (fall).
• Works well for cooler summer evenings when paired with breathable layers.
• Suitable as a mid-layer in winter — pair under a coat for added warmth rather than as the sole cold-weather layer.

Care tips & fit notes

Fit notes

• The relaxed shoulder and moderate stretch means the garment will sit slightly roomy; if you plan to layer, size up for extra ease.
• If you prefer a closer fit (buttoned), choose a size with only 0–2" of additional chest room.
• Because the fabric has recovery, it will return to shape after wear if not stretched long-term — avoid hanging on narrow hangers to prevent shoulder distortion.

Quick care tips

• Turn inside out before washing to reduce friction and pilling.
• Use a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water, or hand wash for the longest life.
• Prefer drying flat to preserve shape; if you use a dryer, choose a low-heat, short cycle and remove promptly.
• To refresh between wears, a hand-held steamer will smooth fibers without excess heat.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Stain treatment: Blot fresh stains with cold water and a mild detergent — avoid rubbing which can damage fibers.
2. Washing: Place the cardigan inside a mesh laundry bag and wash on a delicate/cold cycle with mild detergent. Alternatively, hand wash in cool water and gently press out excess water; do not wring.
3. Drying: Lay flat on a clean towel, reshape to original proportions and allow to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Flip occasionally to speed drying while maintaining shape.
4. De-pilling: Use a fabric comb or electric fabric shaver gently across problem areas; work slowly and remove pills frequently to avoid fabric thinning.
5. Storage: Fold and store in breathable storage (cotton bag or drawer). Avoid prolonged hanging to prevent shoulder stretching. For long-term storage, use cedar blocks or lavender sachets — avoid mothballs.
6. Iron & steam: If ironing is necessary, use the lowest safe heat and press through a cotton cloth. A steamer is preferable for smoothing without direct hot contact.

FAQ

Will this cardigan pill?

Some pilling is normal over time with synthetic knits where fabric rubs against itself or accessories. Minimizing friction, washing gently, and removing pills with a shaver will keep it looking newer longer.

How warm is it?

It provides moderate insulation — warm enough for cool days and excellent as a layering piece in colder weather. It’s not intended as an outer layer in freezing temperatures without additional protection.

Is it itchy for sensitive skin?

Most people find acrylic softer and less itchy than coarse wool. If you have extreme sensitivity, wear a thin layer underneath to be comfortable.

Can I tumble dry it?

Low-heat tumble drying is acceptable in a pinch, but air drying flat is recommended to maintain shape and reduce potential heat damage.

Does it shrink?

Acrylic is less prone to traditional shrinkage than natural fibers, but high heat from washing or drying can cause distortion. Stick to cool washes and low or no heat drying.

How do I remove static?

Lightly spritz with water, use a fabric softener in the wash, or rub a dryer sheet over the inside surface to reduce static cling.

Is dry cleaning required?

No — this knit is intended for simple home care. Dry cleaning is an option but generally unnecessary.

Style tips — quick outfit ideas

• Over a white tee with high-rise jeans and loafers for classic weekend wear.
• Buttoned and belted at the waist with a midi skirt and pumps for a polished, feminine look.
• Layered over a fitted turtleneck and tailored trousers for the office.
• Worn open over a slip dress with ankle boots for an evening out.
• Roll the sleeves, add stacked bracelets and sneakers for an effortless, youthful vibe.
• Pair with textured fabrics—corduroy or suede—to create contrast and depth in autumn outfits.
• For travel, wear it over a tee with leggings; it packs small, provides warmth on planes, and is easy to restyle on the go.
