Maglia Cardigan a Maniche Lunghe con Motivo Geometrico Azteco e Bottoni Dorati | Cloudy Blue / S 100100274554215

Product overview

A long-sleeve cardigan with a bold geometric Aztec motif and polished gold buttons — designed as a go-to layering piece for relaxed weekend looks or smart-casual outfits. Soft to the touch and knit with just enough give, it features practical front pockets and a classic button-front silhouette that works equally well over tees, blouses or light dresses. The construction emphasizes comfortable drape and easy movement while the metallic buttons add a refined finishing detail.

Fabric advantages — Pros and cons

Pros

• Soft hand-feel and good drape for flattering layering.
• Lightweight warmth: holds shape and provides insulation without bulk.
• Color retention and resistance to heavy wrinkling compared with many natural fibers.
• Machine-care friendly in normal use — designed for everyday wear.
• Functional features (pockets, button closures) increase versatility.

Cons

• May develop surface pilling over time in areas of friction (under arms, at cuffs, against bags).
• Some synthetic content can create static or feel less breathable in very warm conditions.
• Improper washing or high-heat drying can change the hand or fit of the knit.
• Synthetic fibers can shed microfibers during laundering — consider a microfiber-capture solution.

About the materials

This cardigan combines a regenerated-cellulose fiber (commonly known as rayon/viscose family) with a synthetic acrylic-type fiber. Rayon variants are made from wood pulp that is chemically transformed into filament or staple fibers; they are prized for their softness, cool-to-the-touch hand and excellent drape. Acrylic is a petroleum-derived polymer often used to mimic wool-like warmth while keeping garments lightweight and colorfast. Blended together in a knit, the fibers balance comfort, drape and resilience — the result is a sweater that looks rich, holds dyes well and wears comfortably for layered styling.

Notes on sustainability and care: production processes for regenerated cellulose vary — modern closed-loop methods reduce chemical discharge. Acrylic is a synthetic that is durable but non-biodegradable; laundering can release microfibers, so using a dedicated laundry bag or a microfiber filter is a simple step to reduce environmental impact.

How to measure the garment (quick guide)

1. Lay the cardigan flat on a smooth surface, fasten the buttons if you want a closed measurement and smooth out wrinkles.
2. Chest (bust): measure straight across the garment from one armpit seam to the other; double that number for the full circumference.
3. Front length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the neck seam) straight down to the hem.
4. Sleeve length: measure from the top of the shoulder seam down to the cuff.
5. Shoulder width: measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
6. Hem width: measure straight across the bottom; double for circumference if desired.

How to measure yourself to pick the right fit

1. Bust: wrap a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and relaxed (not pulled tight).
2. Shoulder to hem (torso length): measure from the base of your neck (where a collar would sit) down to where you want the hem to fall.
3. Arm length: with your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the top of the shoulder (or center back of the neck for a center-back sleeve measurement) to the wrist bone.
4. Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements. Add ease depending on the desired fit:
   • Close/fitted: add 0–1" (0–2.5 cm)
   • Relaxed or layered: add 2–4" (5–10 cm)
   • Oversized styling: add 4"+ (10+ cm)
5. If you sit between two sizes, choose the larger size for easier layering (sweater or button-up beneath).
6. Remember to account for sleeve length preferences — if you prefer full-length coverage over a bulky sweater, check arm length carefully.

Model & fit information

If product photos include a model, retailers often list the model's height and the size shown — use those figures to compare. In absence of that data, treat this cardigan as a mid-hip, relaxed-fit layer. It is intended to skim the body rather than be tightly fitted, so buyers who want a streamlined silhouette might size down and those planning to layer thicker undergarments should size up.

Color and how to combine this piece

The geometric Aztec motif creates an eye-catching focal point; the warm metallic buttons provide a subtle luxe accent. Pairing ideas:

• Casual: white or graphic tee, straight-leg denim and ankle boots for an effortless weekend outfit.
• Smart-casual: crisp blouse, tailored trousers and loafers or low heels — button the cardigan and let the gold hardware elevate the look.
• Boho / festival: suede skirt or distressed jeans, layered necklaces and suede ankle boots. Add turquoise or brass jewelry to enhance the southwestern vibe.
• Layering: use as a mid-layer under a wool coat in colder months; over a fitted turtleneck for sleek warmth.

Style & use

This cardigan bridges bohemian and modern sensibilities — the geometric pattern nods to classic Southwestern and Aztec-inspired motifs while the gold buttons lend an elevated touch. Wear it as a statement layering piece for everyday casual looks or slightly dressed-up ensembles for work-from-coffee-shop days.

Season suitability

• Ideal for transitional seasons (spring and fall) when you need breathable warmth.
• Works on cool summer evenings or layered into winter as a mid-layer beneath a coat.
• Not designed as a heavy outerwear substitute in severe cold — pair with an insulated coat for winter expeditions.

Fit notes

• Designed with a relaxed silhouette and a touch of knit stretch — allows movement and light layering.
• Pockets are functional and add to the casual utility of the piece; they may add slight fullness at the hip when filled.
• Button placement can affect how the pattern appears when closed — try different buttoning options to vary the look.

Care tips (summarized)

• Turn garment inside out before laundering to protect surface fibers and buttons.
• Use a gentle detergent and a gentle machine cycle or hand-wash to reduce agitation.
• Avoid high heat; reshape while damp and dry flat or tumble on a low/air setting if necessary.
• Remove pills with a fabric comb or battery-operated fabric shaver when needed.
• Store folded rather than hung to prevent shoulder stretching; keep away from rough surfaces or sharp jewelry that could snag the knit.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Spot-clean small stains promptly with a mild soap solution; blot rather than rub.
2. For full wash: close buttons, turn inside out and place the cardigan in a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction.
3. Wash on a gentle, cold-water cycle or hand-wash. Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent and avoid bleach or harsh stain removers.
4. After washing, gently press excess water out (do not wring). Lay flat on a towel and reshape to original dimensions; allow to dry flat away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
5. If machine-drying is necessary, opt for the lowest heat and shortest time, then remove promptly and reshape.
6. To freshen without washing, use a handheld steamer on low or hang in a humid bathroom briefly — avoid direct steaming on metal buttons frequently to reduce tarnish risk.
7. To remove pills, use a lint comb or fabric shaver carefully over the affected areas; move in one direction and avoid aggressive abrasion near seams or decorative trims.
8. To trap microfibers during washing, consider using a specialty wash bag (e.g., microfibre-capture bag) or a sink/laundry filter — this reduces environmental shedding.

Style tips

• Buttoned and belted at the waist over a slip dress creates an hourglass silhouette and a polished date-night look.
• Layer a slim turtleneck underneath for elegant warmth; cuff the cardigan sleeves slightly to show contrast and bracelets.
• Pair with mid-rise jeans and a neutral boot for a timeless, wearable outfit that lets the pattern remain the focal point.
• Add gold or warm-toned jewelry to pick up the button detail; avoid large reflective hardware that competes with the buttons.
• For office-friendly styling, wear over a tailored blouse and tuck the front into a pencil skirt or trousers for a tidy finish.

FAQ

Is the cardigan true to size?

It runs as a relaxed, mid-hip cardigan. If you prefer a fitted look or plan to layer a thick sweater underneath, choose your size accordingly (size up for layering).

Will it pill?

Some pilling can occur over time in areas of friction. Regular gentle care and occasional de-pilling will keep the surface looking fresh.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes, with precautions: turn it inside out, use a gentle cycle and cool water, and consider a mesh bag to minimize abrasion. Dry flat for best results.

How should I care for the gold buttons?

Wipe with a soft cloth after wear. Avoid strong chemical cleaners or prolonged moisture exposure to keep the plating bright.

Does it shrink?

High heat can change knit tension and cause slight shrinkage. Follow gentle wash and low-heat/dry-flat care to minimize this risk.

Is the pattern printed or woven?

The Aztec motif is integrated into the knit for a textured, consistent appearance rather than a surface print, lending durability to the design.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It provides moderate warmth and is ideal as a mid-layer. For cold climates, layer under an insulated coat for outdoor wear.

Will fibers shed in the washer?

All knits shed tiny fibers occasionally. To reduce release of microfibers, use a laundry bag, wash cold on gentle and/or use a filter that captures microplastics.
