Angel Wings Fringe Trim Open Front Cardigan | Hot Pink / S 100100610303839

Angel Wings Fringe Trim Cardigan — Product Overview

Lightweight yet cozy, this fringed knit cardigan is designed to layer easily and add textural movement to everyday outfits. The relaxed silhouette falls with gentle drape to flatter many shapes while the decorative trim creates a soft, bohemian finish. It’s a transitional wardrobe piece you can wear over tees, dresses or thin sweaters for added warmth and style.

Material background — what the fabric is and how it behaves

The cardigan is knit from acrylic yarn, a synthetic fiber made from polyacrylonitrile. Acrylic is engineered to imitate many of the comforting traits of natural wool—soft hand, insulating loft and strong color retention—while remaining generally lighter and easier to care for. Because acrylic is hydrophobic it dries quickly and resists moth damage, but it is less breathable than cotton or linen and can develop static or surface pilling with repeated wear.

Fringe trims are usually secured to the hem or edges during construction; they create instant movement and visual interest but require a little extra attention (see care and maintenance).

Fabric advantages — pros and cons

• Pros
  • Soft, warm hand similar to wool without the same itch for most people.
  • Holds dye well—colors stay vivid through washes.
  • Lightweight and quick-drying for convenient layering and travel.
  • Affordable compared with many natural fibers and generally easy to launder.
  • Resistant to moths and mildew when kept dry and clean.
• Cons
  • Can pill over time where fabric rubs (under bags, at cuffs or where arms cross).
  • Less breathable than natural fibers; may feel warm in high temperatures.
  • Can build static and attract lint—especially in dry climates.
  • Is a synthetic, non-biodegradable fiber; washing may release microfibers into wastewater.
  • Fringe can catch or tangle and will need gentle handling to keep it tidy.

Fit notes — how the cardigan wears

Expect a relaxed, easy silhouette with dropped shoulder construction and elongated sleeves that contribute to a casual, slouchy look. The front hangs open (no closure) for effortless layering; the overall shape is intended to skim the body rather than cling. Because the knit has slight stretch, it will give a little across the bust and shoulders as you move.

If you prefer a more tailored appearance, consider one size down only if you normally wear garments with narrow shoulders—otherwise choose your usual size for comfortable layering over tops and light sweaters.

How to measure — get the right fit

Measure your body

1. Bust/Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level and parallel to the floor. Breathe normally before taking the reading.
2. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from the point of one shoulder to the other where a sleeve seam would sit.
3. Arm length: From the top of the shoulder (where a shoulder seam would sit) down to the wrist bone with your arm relaxed at your side.
4. Torso length: From the high point of the shoulder (next to the neck) down to where you want the hem to sit.

Measure a garment (to compare with sizing charts)

1. Lay the garment flat on a smooth surface, smoothing out wrinkles without stretching it.
2. Flat chest: Measure straight across from armpit seam to armpit seam; double that number to get the finished chest circumference.
3. Shoulder width: Measure from seam to seam across the back; note that dropped-shoulder styles will measure wider than your natural shoulder width.
4. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam (or for dropped shoulders from the seam where the sleeve begins) to the cuff.
5. Length: Measure from the high point of shoulder to the hem. If there’s fringe, measure hem-to-fringe end separately if you need the overall length.

Suggested ease (difference between your body measurement and the garment measurement): fitted about 0–2 inches, relaxed 2–4 inches, oversized 4+ inches. Use the ease you prefer when choosing a size.

Model info (how to use model imagery as a guide)

Retail photos usually feature a model chosen to illustrate the drape and proportion of the cardigan; heights and body types vary by shoot. Because models can be taller or leaner than the typical customer, treat model imagery as inspiration rather than a sizing guide. Rely on the measurement method above and the ease guidelines to pick the size that will work best for your body and styling preferences.

Color & how to combine this piece

The cardigan’s textural detail reads as a neutral, design-forward layer that pairs well with many color palettes:

• Neutrals: Wear with denim and a white tee for classic, everyday outfits; layer over black for a more refined contrast.
• Earth tones: Camel, olive and rust complement the warm hand of the knit for autumnal looks.
• Jewel tones: Deep teal, burgundy or plum create a lively contrast without clashing with the fringe texture.
• Boho pairings: Slip dresses, suede boots and layered necklaces emphasize the cardigan’s relaxed, folk-inspired character.

Keep accessories simple when the fringe is the focal point—long pendants, narrow belts (to cinch and reshape) and low-profile boots or sneakers work especially well.

Style & occasions

• Casual weekend layering — over t-shirts and jeans.
• Travel essential — lightweight, packs well and provides warmth on planes.
• Bohemian or festival styling — pair with flowy skirts or maxi dresses.
• Office-casual — choose cleaner lines underneath and add a belt to create a neater silhouette.

Season suitability

Ideal for transitional weather: spring and fall are prime seasons. It also works well as a mid-layer in winter over a long-sleeve base or under a coat for extra insulation. In summer, it can be reserved for cool evenings. Because the knit traps warmth, it is not intended as a substitute for heavy winter outerwear.

Care tips & quick fit notes

• Prefer gentle cleaning: use a cold, gentle wash cycle or hand wash to reduce wear; avoid hot water which can deform synthetic fibers.
• Dry flat to preserve shape—fold to store rather than hanging to avoid shoulder stretching.
• To minimize pilling, turn the garment inside out before washing and wash with like fabrics.
• Fringe needs delicate handling—comb gently with fingers or a wide-tooth comb to detangle; avoid pulling.
• If you plan to layer bulky sweaters underneath, size up to keep comfortable mobility through the shoulders and chest.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Washing: Machine wash in a mesh bag on a delicate/cold cycle with a mild detergent, or hand wash in cool water. Avoid bleach and strong detergents.
2. Drying: Reshape and lay flat to dry on a clean towel or drying rack. If you must use a dryer, tumble on low heat and remove promptly to reduce friction that causes pilling; however, air-drying is gentler and recommended.
3. Pilling: Remove pills with a lint shaver or fabric comb—do so gently and infrequently to avoid thinning the knit.
4. Fringe care: Smooth fringe with fingers after washing, comb carefully if needed, and avoid snagging it on hardware or rough surfaces.
5. Storage: Fold into breathable storage (avoid plastic) and keep away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Add cedar or lavender for long-term storage to deter pests.
6. Repairs: Small snags can be tucked back through the knit with a blunt needle; for loose fringe threads, trim cleanly or secure with a few small stitches on the inside hem.

FAQ

Will this cardigan pill?

Some pilling is normal over time with synthetic knits, particularly where there is friction. Reduce pilling by washing gently, turning the garment inside out, and treating pills with a fabric shaver as needed.

Can I machine wash and tumble dry it?

Gentle machine washing in cool water is usually fine. Air drying flat is the safest method to preserve shape and fringe. If you choose to tumble dry, use a low-heat, short cycle and remove promptly.

Is the fringe secure?

The decorative fringe is attached during construction; avoid catching it on jewelry or bags. If a thread becomes loose, trim carefully or sew it back to the inside hem to secure it.

Does it run large or small?

The design is relaxed with a soft drape. For a fitted look choose less ease; for comfortable layering choose your regular size or size up. Always compare your measurements to garment measurements when available.

Is acrylic warm enough for winter?

Acrylic provides good insulation for cool weather and works well as a mid-layer in winter. For very cold climates, pair it with heavier outerwear or thicker base layers.

How do I reduce static?

Use a dryer sheet when tumble drying on low, mist lightly with water, or apply a small amount of anti-static spray. Storing in more humid environments also reduces static build-up.

Style tips — ways to wear it

• Belt the waist over a fitted top to turn a relaxed cardigan into a neat, waist-defined jacket.
• Layer over a thin turtleneck and add tall boots for a streamlined autumn look.
• Pair with a slip dress and ankle boots for an easy boho evening outfit.
• Mix textures—try leather or coated denim to contrast the soft knit and add edge.
• Keep jewelry long and vertical (pendants) to complement the open-front lines.
• For travel, fold it into the top of your carry-on to use as a warm, stylish blanket on the plane.
• Push up the sleeves for a casual, effortless vibe and to show layered bracelets or a watch.
• Coordinate with a neutral base (black, white, denim) and use one statement color in your shoes or bag for a polished appearance.
