Button Up V-Neck Long Sleeve Cardigan | White / S 100100271848798

Button Up V-Neck Long Sleeve Cardigan

A clean, easy-to-wear V-neck cardigan with a button front and long sleeves — designed as a versatile layering piece for daily life. The knit has enough give to move with you while keeping a polished silhouette that works buttoned as a lightweight sweater or open as a layering staple. Lightweight warmth and low-maintenance care make it an everyday go-to for commuting, meetings, weekend errands and casual evenings.

Why this piece works for your wardrobe

• Effortless layering — pairs equally well over tees, blouses and thin knits.
• Clean V-neckline and button front give styling flexibility (worn closed as a top or open as outer layer).
• Moderate stretch keeps comfort without losing shape.
• Easy-care construction suits busy lifestyles — a practical alternative to delicate wool pieces.

Fabric advantages — pros & cons

• Soft, lightweight warmth similar to wool without the itch for many people.
• Colorfast — holds dyes well so colors stay vibrant through multiple washes.
• Quick-drying and resistant to shrinking when washed carefully.
• Durable for everyday wear and resistant to typical pests (moths).
• Affordable and low-maintenance compared with many natural fibers.

• Less breathable than natural fibers — not ideal for very warm climates or heavy activity.
• Can develop static and attract lint, especially in dry air.
• Prone to pilling over time in high-friction areas (under arms, along sleeves, where bags rub).
• Synthetic fiber — not biodegradable and can shed microfibers when laundered.
• Sensitive to high heat (avoid hot irons and high dryer temperatures).

About the material — what to know about acrylic

This cardigan is made from acrylic fiber, a synthetic polymer developed as a wool-like alternative. Acrylic fibers are formed from polyacrylonitrile and then spun into yarns used for knits and sweaters. The result is a fabric that mimics many desirable properties of wool — warmth, softness and color retention — while being lighter and easier to care for.

Practical notes: acrylic resists moth damage and dries quickly, but it does not absorb moisture like cotton or wool, so it can feel less breathable. It can pill with friction and shed tiny fibers in the wash; using gentle cycles and laundry bags reduces this. Because acrylic is thermoplastic, exposure to high heat can deform fibers, so avoid hot ironing and high dryer heat.

Fit & model information

The cardigan is designed with a relaxed, wearable silhouette that allows comfortable layering without appearing bulky. It has moderate stretch — it gives when you move but springs back. If you prefer a sleeker, close-fitting look, select the size that provides approximately 1–3 inches (2–8 cm) of extra allowance at the bust; if you like to layer heavier shirts or want an oversized look, allow 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) or more.

On a model, this style typically appears as a hip-length cardigan worn both buttoned and open. To recreate a polished look: button it and tuck the front into high-waist bottoms, or wear open over a fitted tee or lightweight blouse.

How to measure — body and garment

Measure your body

1. Chest/Bust: Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest/bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Breathe normally when measuring.
2. Shoulder width: Measure across your back from the point where the shoulder seam of a well-fitting shirt sits on one side to the same point on the other side.
3. Sleeve length: With your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the outer point of your shoulder (where a sleeve seam would sit) down to the wrist bone, or measure from center back of the neck to wrist for center-back sleeve length.
4. Desired length: Measure from the high point of your shoulder (where the shoulder meets the neck) down to the point where you want the cardigan to end.

Measure a cardigan (flat garment method)

1. Lay the cardigan flat on a table and smooth out wrinkles without stretching.
2. Chest/Bust (flat): Measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other, then double that number to get the full circumference.
3. Shoulder: Measure straight across from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
4. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff along the outside of the sleeve.
5. Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the neckline) down to the hem.

Comparison tip: compare your body measurements to the garment measurements and add your preferred amount of ease (2–3" for fitted, 4–6" for regular layering, 6"+ for oversized). If you are between sizes, choose the one that matches your preferred ease or layering needs.

Season suitability

Ideal for cooler weather: autumn, mild winter and early spring. Works well as a mid-layer under a coat in colder climates and as a top layer on cool days. Because it is not overly heavy, it’s less suited for hot, humid summer days.

Care tips & fit notes

• Avoid long exposure to direct sunlight when storing to prevent fading.
• Close buttons before laundering to reduce abrasion against other garments.
• Store folded rather than hung to prevent shoulder stretching and distortion.
• If you feel static, an anti-static spray or a dryer sheet in the dryer (short, low-heat tumble) helps reduce cling.
• Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or sweater comb — do not yank at them.

Care guide — keep it looking lovely longer

1. Turn the cardigan inside out and fasten buttons before washing to protect the outside surface.
2. Use a gentle detergent formulated for delicates; avoid bleach and high-alkaline cleaners.
3. Wash on a cold, gentle cycle or handwash. Use a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction and shedding.
4. Prefer air-drying flat on a towel to maintain shape. If you must use a dryer, tumble on the lowest heat briefly and remove promptly.
5. Reshape while damp, smooth seams, and lay flat to finish drying.
6. To refresh between wears, use a low-temperature steamer or hang in a steamy bathroom rather than frequent washing.

Color & how to combine

This cardigan is a neutral building block in any wardrobe. Here are pairing ideas by color family:

• Neutrals (black/gray/cream/navy): Pair with denim, tailored trousers, or a simple slip dress. Add a patterned scarf or metallic jewelry for a subtle lift.
• Warm tones (mustard/brick/olive): Complement with dark-wash jeans, camel coats, or tan leather boots for an autumnal look.
• Bright shades (red/teal/coral): Keep the rest of the outfit muted — white tee and light denim make the color pop without overwhelming.
• Monochrome: Create a sleek column by matching the cardigan with pants or a skirt in a similar tone; vary textures for interest.

Style tips

• Casual weekend: wear open over a fitted tee, high-rise jeans and white sneakers.
• Office-ready: button up, layer a slim blouse underneath, and pair with tailored trousers and loafers.
• Date night: button the top two buttons, add a delicate necklace and a midi skirt or straight-leg pants with heels.
• Belted: add a slim belt over the cardigan at the waist for a quick, flattering silhouette.
• Layering: for cold days, wear over a thin thermal or turtleneck and under a structured coat.
• Proportions: petite wearers can tuck the front into high-waisted bottoms to avoid being overwhelmed; taller silhouettes can leave it untucked for a relaxed look.

FAQ

Will this cardigan run big or small?

It has a relaxed, wearable cut with moderate stretch. Choose the size that gives the amount of ease you prefer: closer to your body for a fitted look or larger for layering.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It provides light-to-medium warmth. Layer under a coat for winter or wear as a top layer in cool autumn and spring temperatures.

Does it pill?

Like many synthetic knit fabrics, some pilling is possible over time in areas of friction. Minimize pilling by washing inside out on gentle cycles, using a laundry bag, and removing pills with a fabric shaver.

How should I wash it?

Use cold or cool water on a gentle cycle or handwash. Turn it inside out, use mild detergent, reshape while damp and dry flat when possible. Avoid high heat.

Is acrylic safe for sensitive skin?

Many people find acrylic softer than coarse wool and comfortable against skin, but sensitivity varies. If you have very sensitive skin, wear a thin cotton or silk layer underneath as a barrier.

How do I prevent static and lint?

Use a low-heat tumble with a dryer sheet for a short time or apply an anti-static spray. Store folded away from lint-prone fabrics and avoid heavy rubbing against velvet or suede.
