Woven Right Color Block V-Neck Button Down Cardigan | Black / S 100100551712850

Overview

A modern color-block knit that blends relaxed comfort with a polished look—perfect for everyday layering and effortless outfit building. The silhouette is relaxed without feeling oversized, with soft ribbed finishes and a front closure that lets you wear it open as a light jacket or closed as a tidy top layer. Lightweight yet warm, it’s designed to move with you and add instant polish to jeans, skirts or tailored trousers.

Why it’s worth adding to your closet: versatile styling, low-maintenance care, and a fabric mix engineered to keep shape and color through frequent wear.

Fabric advantages — Pros & Cons

About the materials

This knit is made from a combination of synthetic fibers chosen to balance softness, stretch and durability.

• Acrylic: a lightweight, wool‑like fiber that dyes deeply and resists mildew and insects. It provides warmth with a soft hand but can be prone to pilling after repeated abrasion.
• Nylon (polyamide): added for strength and abrasion resistance—helps seams and edges hold up to wear and reduces stretching out of shape over time.
• Spandex (elastane): a small amount gives the fabric recovery so it fits comfortably and returns to shape after movement or light stretching.

Environmental note: these are synthetic, petroleum‑based fibers. To reduce microfibre release, wash gently, use a laundry bag designed for synthetics or a microfiber filter, and avoid excessive high‑heat drying.

How to measure — body and garment

To select the best size, measure both your body and a similar garment that fits the way you like. Below are step‑by‑step instructions.

Measure your body

1. Chest/Bust: wrap the tape at the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Keep tape parallel to the floor and relaxed—not tight.
2. Shoulder width: measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other across the back (use a mirror or ask someone to help).
3. Upper arm: measure around the fullest part of the upper arm if you plan to layer bulky sleeves underneath.
4. Arm length: with arm relaxed at your side, measure from the center back at the base of the neck (hollow of the neck) across the shoulder to the wrist for sleeve reference.
5. Torso length: measure from the high point of shoulder (where a neckline sits) down the front to where you want the hem to fall.

Measure a garment (recommended)

1. Lay the garment flat on a smooth surface and fasten closures so it lies naturally.
2. Chest/Width: measure across the front from underarm seam to underarm seam and double that number for the full circumference.
3. Shoulder: measure across the back from seam to seam (if shoulder seam is absent because of a dropped shoulder, measure from armhole edge to armhole edge and expect a more relaxed fit).
4. Sleeve: measure from the shoulder seam (or armhole edge on dropped shoulder) to the cuff in a straight line.
5. Length: measure from the highest shoulder point (near neck) down to the hem.

Compare the garment measurements to your body measurements and add the desired ease (below) to choose a size that suits how you like to wear knits.

How to choose your fit

• Close/trim fit: allow 0–2 inches (1–5 cm) of ease across the bust for a fitted look.
• Classic/regular fit: 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) of ease gives comfortable movement and works well over lightweight layers.
• Relaxed/oversized: 4+ inches (10+ cm) of ease for a slouchy look or to fit over thicker layers.
• If you are between sizes and prefer a layered look, size up; for a neater silhouette choose the smaller size.

Tip: match a favorite cardigan’s flat measurements to this garment’s flat dimensions to predict fit precisely.

Model & visual fit guidance

Photographic styling often shows the cardigan either worn open for an effortless, jacket‑like look or buttoned for a neater top. Because of the relaxed shoulder construction, the upper body reads gently slouched, offering an approachable casual silhouette that still pairs well with smarter pieces.

On shorter trunks or petite frames it will read slightly boxier; on taller frames it will appear cropped to the hip. If you like your sweaters to sit closer to the body, pick the size that provides the “close/trim” ease above.

Color & pairing suggestions

Color block designs make a statement by combining contrasting or complementary panels. Use the colors in the block to guide the rest of your outfit: pick one neutral from the knit and repeat it in shoes or a bag, or pick a bright block and echo it with a subtle accessory.

• Casual: layer over a white tee, straight jeans and low‑top sneakers for an easy weekend outfit.
• Smart casual: button up over a silk camisole or lightweight blouse, pair with ankle trousers and loafers.
• Layered: wear over a thin turtleneck and under a tailored coat—color block will peek out at the neckline and cuffs for visual interest.
• Accessories: gold or silver minimalist jewelry complements the clean lines; a narrow belt worn over the cardigan can create a defined waist.

Style & occasions

This is a versatile casual‑chic piece. It works well for:

• Everyday errands and coffee dates
• Business casual environments when layered over a blouse
• Travel—lightweight, packs well and layers easily for changing temperatures
• Weekend brunches or casual evenings

The dropped shoulder and soft ribbing give it a contemporary, slightly relaxed edge—perfect when you want an outfit that’s intentional without being fussy.

Seasonal guide

Best for transitional weather: spring and autumn. Use as a mid‑layer in cool winter months under a heavier coat or on cool summer evenings when AC makes indoor spaces chilly. Not recommended as sole outerwear in very cold conditions.

Care tips & fit notes

• Fit notes: the fabric offers light stretch—it holds its shape but will give slightly with wear. Dropped shoulders create room through the upper arm and torso.
• Stretch management: avoid hanging for long periods to prevent the hem and shoulders from stretching—fold for storage.
• Pilling: expect some pilling over time in high‑friction areas; regular gentle de‑pilling keeps the knit looking newer.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Before washing: fasten buttons and turn garment inside out to reduce abrasion on the outer face.
2. Wash: use cold water on a gentle cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent. Use a mesh garment bag to limit friction if using a machine.
3. Spin & dry: use a low spin speed and remove promptly. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry on a towel to preserve shape—tumble on low briefly is acceptable if you must, but air‑drying is gentler.
4. Iron/steam: if needed, use low heat and steam rather than a hot iron; place a cloth between the iron and the knit to avoid sheen or damage.
5. Pilling treatment: remove pills with a sweater comb or fabric shaver designed for knits—treat gently.
6. Storage: fold and store in a drawer or on a shelf rather than hanging. Use breathable storage containers and cedar or lavender sachets to deter moths.

Practical style tips

• Wear it unbuttoned over a monochrome base to let the color blocks stand out.
• Button the middle buttons only for a modern, slightly cropped look—leave the top and bottom open.
• Belt over the cardigan to create a waistline and turn the piece into a lightweight jacket.
• Pair with textured bottoms (corduroy skirt, wool trousers) to contrast the smooth knit and add visual depth.
• Mix metals and minimalist jewelry to keep the focus on the knit’s graphic colorblocking.

FAQ

Will this knit keep me warm?

Yes—it provides lightweight warmth suitable for layering. For freezing temperatures pair it with a heavier coat.

Does it stretch out after wearing?

The small stretch content gives flexibility but the fabric has good recovery. Avoid hanging; fold to minimize long‑term stretching.

Is it transparent?

The knit has enough opacity for normal wear—thin layering pieces will work well underneath if you want extra coverage.

Will it pill?

All synthetic knits can pill with friction. Pilling is normal over time but can be minimized by washing gently and removing pills with a shaver.

Can I iron it?

Use low heat or steam. Direct high heat can damage elastic fibers and leave shine marks—use a cloth barrier if ironing is necessary.

How should I handle stains?

Treat spots quickly with a mild detergent and cold water. For tougher stains, hand wash the affected area gently before a full wash.

Is it eco‑friendly?

The fibers are synthetic and not biodegradable; look for gentle washing and microfiber filtering to reduce environmental impact. Consider reuse, recycling programs, or responsible disposal at end of life.

Final notes

This cardigan is a practical, style‑forward piece that works across many outfits and seasons. If you want an easy-care, colorful layer that balances comfort and polish, it’s a reliable choice.
