Ribbed Long Sleeve Cardigan | Light Yellow / S 100100596171721

Ribbed Long Sleeve Cardigan — Product Overview

A longline, ribbed knit cardigan cut for easy layering: lightweight yet warm, with an open front and long sleeves that create a relaxed, pulled-together silhouette. The vertical ribs and stripe motif give structure and subtle elongation, while the slightly stretchy knit keeps movement comfortable. This piece works as a casual topper for jeans and tees, a smart-casual layer for the office, or an extra cozy layer for travel.

Fabric & Construction — What it’s made from

Composition: 100% acrylic. The fabric is a ribbed knit — columns of knit-and-purl stitches that add stretch, texture and vertical definition. Acrylic is a synthetic polymer (polyacrylonitrile) engineered to mimic many qualities of wool: it holds color well, feels soft, and provides warmth without bulk. Because it is thermoplastic, it responds to heat (avoid high temperatures when washing or ironing).

Fabric Advantages — Pros & Cons

Product Measurements (garment dimensions)

Measure these garment values against a well-fitting layer you own to choose the best size.

How to Measure — step-by-step (garment & body)

Choosing Your Size — Fit guidance

Decide how much ease (extra room) you want:

• Close-fitting layer: 0–2 inches of positive ease
• Everyday/comfortable layer: 2–4 inches of positive ease
• Roomy / slightly oversized: 4–8 inches of positive ease

Example: If your chest measures 38 inches and you prefer a relaxed layer (about 4 inches ease), look for a garment with roughly 42 inches bust. Based on the measurements above, the Medium (42.9 in) would be the best match.

If you alternate between fitted tees and thicker sweaters beneath, consider sizing up one size to ensure comfortable layering.

Model & Fit Notes

Product photography and the way the cardigan drapes can vary with model height and styling. Generally this style is longline — expect the hem to land between hip and mid-thigh depending on your height. The ribbed knit creates vertical lines that visually lengthen the torso, and the open-front design creates a relaxed silhouette. If you prefer a defined waist, adding a belt over the cardigan instantly changes proportions.

Fit tips by body type:

• Pear-shaped: keep the lower half streamlined (slim jeans or pencil skirt) — the cardigan’s length balances proportions.
• Apple-shaped: add a belt to create a waistline or choose a size with more structure at the shoulders.
• Petite: consider a shorter cardigan or one-size styling with a belt so the longline cut doesn’t overwhelm.
• Tall: the longline length typically sits very flattering on taller frames and complements long legs.

Color & How to Combine This Cardigan

Stripe details give you built-in color cues — pull one or two colors from the stripe to base the rest of the outfit on. General pairing ideas:

• Neutral stripes: pair with white tee + dark denim + ankle boots for a classic look.
• Muted tones (beige, camel, cream): combine with tailored trousers and loafers for a smart-casual outfit.
• Bold or multicolor stripes: keep the base pieces monochrome (solid tee, solid trousers) so the cardigan reads as the statement piece.
• Pattern-mixing: small-scale prints (micro florals, tiny polka dots) can work if one color matches a stripe tone; avoid mixing two large bold patterns.

Season & Use

Best suited to transitional and cooler months — fall, winter and cool spring days. Use it as a layering piece on chilly summer evenings or indoors in air-conditioned spaces. It’s great for commuting, travel (lightweight and packable), and everyday casual to smart-casual settings.

Care Tips & Quick Fit Notes

• General wear: avoid prolonged friction from heavy bags or rough surfaces to reduce pilling.
• Between washes: air the cardigan out and spot-clean small marks to reduce full washes and extend fabric life.
• Fit reminder: the ribbed knit adds recovery, but repeated stretching under heavy weight can change fit over time — store folded, not hung.

Care Guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent; avoid bleach. If you must machine wash, use a gentle cold cycle inside a mesh laundry bag.
2. Do not tumble dry. After washing, gently press out excess water (do not wring), reshape and lay flat to dry on a towel away from direct sunlight or heat.
3. Remove pills regularly with a fabric comb or sweater shaver — do this gently to preserve the knit surface.
4. When needed, steam or iron very gently on low setting using a pressing cloth; avoid direct high heat.
5. Store folded in a drawer or shelf. If hanging, use wide padded hangers to prevent shoulder distortion.
6. Avoid contact with Velcro, rough denim seams or abrasive surfaces that cause pulls and snags.

FAQ

Style Tips — 7 easy looks

1. Weekend casual: white crew tee, straight-leg jeans, sneakers, and a crossbody bag — cardigan open for easy layering.
2. Office smart-casual: thin turtleneck, tailored ankle trousers, loafers, minimal jewelry; wear cardigan open or belted for shape.
3. Travel outfit: long tee, leggings, slip-on sneakers, scarf; cardigan acts as a cozy airplane layer.
4. Date night elevated: silk cami, high-waist skirt, ankle boots, add a slim belt over the cardigan to define the waist.
5. Layered cold-weather: lightweight sweater under the cardigan, pea coat on top, tall boots — ribbed texture adds interest beneath a structured coat.
6. Monochrome polish: pick a neutral stripe color and build a tonal outfit (e.g., camel cardigan stripe + camel trousers + cream top) for a modern look.
7. Pattern play: pair with small-scale prints in the same tonal family; keep proportions balanced (cardigan: medium stripes, print: micro-scale).
