Woven Right Striped Button Front Cardigan | Mint / S 100100874999934

Overview

A button‑front striped knit designed to bridge casual and polished wardrobes. Lightweight but structured, it provides comfortable stretch and everyday wearability—ideal for layering over tees, blouses or dresses. The round neckline and classic button closure let you wear it closed for a refined silhouette or open as an easy topper.

Materials — what they are and what they do

This cardigan is a blended knit built from three widely used synthetic fibers: acrylic, polyamide and polyester. Each fiber contributes different performance and hand‑feel qualities:

• Acrylic — a soft, wool‑like synthetic often used to mimic the loft and warmth of natural wool without the itch. It accepts dyes well, so stripes stay bright, and it resists moth damage.
• Polyamide (nylon) — adds strength, abrasion resistance and recovery to the fabric. It helps the knit hold its shape and feel springy after wear.
• Polyester — contributes durability, colorfastness and quick‑drying performance. It helps the cardigan stay crisp and wrinkle‑resistant through travel and frequent wear.

The knit construction (rather than a woven weave) creates built‑in stretch and a close, comfortable drape without needing elastane. Because these are synthetic fibers, the garment is easy‑care but will behave differently from natural fibers—expect stable shape retention, potential for static or pilling in high‑friction areas, and sensitivity to high heat.

Fabric advantages — pros and cons

Advantages

• Soft, wool‑like hand and lightweight warmth without the scratchiness of some natural wools.
• Durable and colorfast — stripes keep their tone after repeated washes.
• Good shape retention and stretch recovery because of the polyamide content.
• Wrinkle‑resistant and travel‑friendly; easy to pack and wear on the go.
• Low maintenance compared with delicate natural fibers — forgiving of home laundry when cared for properly.

Considerations / drawbacks

• Synthetics can trap heat and are less breathable than cotton or linen—best as a layering piece rather than a base layer in hot weather.
• Some propensity to pill at friction points (under arms, where a bag rubs) over long term wear.
• May develop static; can retain some odors if not washed regularly.
• Environmental note: synthetic fibers shed microfibers during washing—simple washing habits can reduce shedding.

How to measure this cardigan (finished garment method)

For the most reliable fit, compare a similar cardigan you already own to the measurements shown on the product page. To measure the cardigan itself:

1. Lay the cardigan flat on a hard, even surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Bust (chest): measure straight across from underarm seam to underarm seam, then double that number for full circumference.
3. Sleeve length: measure from the shoulder seam (or where the shoulder meets the sleeve) down to the end of the cuff.
4. Center back length: measure from the base of the neck (center back) straight down to the hem.
5. Shoulder width: measure from seam to seam across the top back, if present.

Use those finished measurements to compare to your favorite cardigan laid flat. Finished (garment) measurements are different from body measurements; they show how much actual wearing space (ease) the item provides.

How to measure your body and choose the right fit

1. Bust: wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest while standing naturally. Keep the tape parallel to the floor.
2. Shoulders/Sleeve length: for sleeve fit, measure from the base of your neck across the shoulder to your wrist (or measure a preferred sleeve on a well‑fitting jacket).
3. Decide on ease: for a close but comfortable fit over a T‑shirt, choose a garment with 1–2 inches of extra room in the bust; for layering over sweaters, allow 3–4 inches or more.
4. Compare: match your body measurements plus desired ease to the garment’s finished measurements to select size.

If you are between sizes and prefer a relaxed, drapey look, choose the larger size. If you plan to wear the cardigan buttoned as a top layer and prefer a tailored appearance, select the smaller size that still allows comfortable arm movement.

Fit notes

• The knit has notable give; it conforms to the body but will spring back.
• Because the piece is unlined, it follows the body’s contours—use finished measurements for the best match.
• To prevent shoulder sag over time, fold flat when storing rather than hanging long term.

Model information

If specific model height and sample size are not listed on the product page, treat on‑model photos as a visual guide rather than an exact fit reference. Retail samples commonly use a standard sample size—consult the garment measurements or contact customer service for model stats if that information is critical to your decision.

Color & styling combinations

Stripes are inherently coordinate‑friendly. Use one dominant stripe color as your anchor and add one or two complementary tones for contrast. Outfit ideas:

• Neutral stripes (black, navy, gray, cream): pair with crisp white tees, dark denim, camel trousers or leather boots for a timeless look.
• Subtle, warm stripes (camel, rust, olive): match with earth‑tone skirts or chinos and gold jewelry for a polished autumnal palette.
• Contrast stripes (black & white or bold combos): add a pop of color—red or mustard accessories or a bright bag—to keep the outfit modern and urban.
• For office casual: button the cardigan over a slim blouse, add tapered pants and loafers; or layer it under a blazer for an extra warmth layer that keeps the lines neat.

Style & occasions

This cardigan works across multiple contexts: casual everyday wear, smart‑casual office looks, and travel. Wear it buttoned up as a light sweater, open as a layering piece, or half‑button with a front tuck for a contemporary shape. Its striped motif adds visual interest without overwhelming an outfit.

Season suitability

Best for transitional seasons—spring and autumn—when you need a midweight layer. It’s also well suited for cool summer evenings and can be layered under a coat for extra insulation in mild winter climates.

Care tips & quick maintenance

• Wash on a gentle or delicate cycle in cold water or hand wash to reduce friction and microfibre shedding.
• Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or harsh chemicals; skip heavy fabric softeners which can coat synthetics and reduce breathability.
• Turn the cardigan inside out before washing to protect the outer surface and stripes.
• Prefer flat drying—reshape while damp and dry flat to keep the silhouette even. Tumble dry on low only when necessary.
• To reduce static, dry with a damp towel in the dryer for a short cycle or use an anti‑static spray. A small amount of white vinegar in the final rinse can reduce static and residue.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Spot treat spills immediately with a gentle detergent diluted in cool water and blot—do not rub.
2. For full washes, place the cardigan in a mesh laundry bag to reduce abrasion and fiber loss.
3. Remove pills carefully with a fabric comb or battery‑powered shaver. Work gently to avoid thinning the knit.
4. Store folded in a drawer or shelf. If hanging, use wide, padded hangers and rotate storage to avoid shoulder marks.
5. When ironing is necessary, use a low‑heat setting with a pressing cloth, or steam from a distance to relax creases without direct heat contact.
6. If you want to minimize microplastic release, wash less often, use cold short cycles and consider a microfiber‑capturing bag or washing machine filter.

Style tips

• Layer a thin turtleneck underneath and button the cardigan for a streamlined office look.
• Wear it open over a midi dress and add ankle boots for effortless weekend polish.
• For a modern silhouette, button the middle buttons only and leave top and bottom open, then add a slim belt at the waist.
• Roll the sleeves slightly for a relaxed, intentional vibe—pair with stacked bracelets or a watch.
• Mix patterns sparingly: pair the cardigan with small, subtle prints (micro‑florals or dots) rather than larger, competing patterns.

Frequently asked questions

Will this cardigan pill?

All knits see some pilling over time, especially at points of friction. The polyamide content improves durability, but small pills can still form. Use a fabric comb and follow gentle wash practices to reduce pilling.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It’s a midweight layer—great for transitional weather and as an inner layer in winter. For cold climates, use it under a heavier coat or pair with insulated layers.

Can I iron it?

Avoid high heat. Use a low iron with a pressing cloth or steam lightly from a distance. High temperatures can damage synthetic fibers.

Does it run true to size?

The knit has stretch and is designed for everyday ease. For a fitted look, select the size closest to your body measurements; for layering, go one size up. Compare your measurements to the garment’s finished measurements to be certain.

Is it see‑through?

The knit is not lined but not typically sheer. If you’re concerned about coverage with light‑colored stripes, wear a neutral camisole underneath for peace of mind.

Any sustainability notes?

The fibers are synthetic; consider washing less frequently, using a laundry bag, and avoiding heat to reduce environmental impact and extend the garment’s life.
