Olijfgroene en witte gestreepte cardigan trui met houten knopen | Black / S 100100889102241

Overview

A timeless striped knit in an earthy olive tone paired with crisp white bands and warm wooden buttons. This cardigan is designed to be a versatile layering piece: it works as an oversized top layer over tees and dresses or as a neater buttoned sweater for cooler days. The knit has a soft hand and a modest amount of recovery, so it moves with you while keeping its shape. thoughtful details — like the natural-feel buttons and banded edges — make it easy to dress up or down.

Ideal for everyday wear, the silhouette sits comfortably around the hips and creates a flattering line whether you leave it open, button partially, or close it fully. Its balanced weight and texture make it a reliable transitional wardrobe staple.

Fabric advantages — pros and cons

Pros

• Soft drape and comfortable next-to-skin feel that flatters layered looks.
• Good color saturation — the olive hue and white contrast stay vivid through multiple wears.
• Light-to-midweight warmth suitable for layering without bulk.
• Easy-care characteristics compared with delicate natural fibers (less ironing and faster drying).
• Resilient construction: the knit recovers enough to reduce bagging at elbows and seams.

Cons

• Can develop small surface pills over time with friction — common for many knit blends.
• Synthetic content can hold static and attract lint in dry climates.
• Not as breathable as pure natural fibers in very warm weather, so best worn in transitional seasons or layered.
• Like many blended knits, it can shed microfibers in wash water; gentle laundering helps reduce this.

About the materials

The knit combines a regenerated-cellulose fiber and a synthetic polymer. Regenerated cellulose fibers (often sold under names such as viscose, modal or lyocell) are produced from plant-based pulp and are prized for a silk-like softness, good breathability, and excellent drape. They take dye well, giving garments rich, even color.

The synthetic component is a polymer designed to mimic some wool-like properties: it adds resilience, helps the garment keep its shape, and improves machine-wash performance compared with many pure cellulosic knits. That polymer also dries quickly and tends to retain color. Tradeoffs include a higher likelihood of pilling and the fact that synthetic fibers are less biodegradable than natural ones.

Environmental note: manufacturing methods vary. Some regenerated-cellulose processes are more environmentally friendly (closed-loop systems that recycle solvents), while some synthetic processes produce microfibers that can enter wastewater. If environmental impact is a priority, consider washing in a filter bag and using low-agitation cycles.

How to measure the garment (recommended method)

1. Lay the cardigan flat on a smooth, even surface. Smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Chest / Bust (finished): Measure straight across from side seam to side seam at the fullest part of the body, then multiply by two to get the full circumference.
3. Shoulder width: Measure from one shoulder seam to the other straight across the back.
4. Front length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (where a shoulder seam meets the neckline) down to the hem.
5. Sleeve length: With the arm relaxed, measure from the shoulder seam down the outer sleeve to the cuff.
6. Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and multiply by two for the full circumference.
7. Note stretch: If the knit has any give, test gently by stretching a small area to estimate how many inches of additional room the fabric provides.

Use these finished measurements to compare with your body measurements plus your preferred ease (see the next section).

How to measure yourself (to find the best fit)

1. Bust: Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and comfortably snug.
2. Under-bust / High bust: For close-fitting looks, record the measurement directly under the breast and above it as needed.
3. Waist: Measure at your natural waist (the narrowest point), keeping the tape relaxed.
4. Hips: Measure the fullest part of your hips while standing with feet together.
5. Shoulder width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other, across the back where a seam would sit.
6. Arm circumference (optional): Measure the widest part of your upper arm if you plan to layer thicker sleeves underneath.

Choosing a size: for a fitted look, aim for 0–2 inches of positive ease at the bust; for a relaxed or layered fit, allow 3–5 inches of ease. If your measurements fall between sizes, select the larger size if you prefer layering or want a looser silhouette.

Model information

The product photography shows a model 5'9" (approximately 175 cm) wearing a mid-range size for a balanced fit. On her, the cardigan sits at a flattering mid-hip length with sleeves that reach the wrist; the front buttons close smoothly without pulling. Use the model photos to judge drape and sleeve length relative to your height, and compare with the finished measurements for the size you’re considering.

Color and pairing ideas

The olive tone leans earthy and slightly muted — a neutral-rich green that pairs well with warm and cool palettes. The paired white bands provide crisp contrast and a fresh modern feel. The wooden buttons bring in natural texture and warmth.

Outfit pairings:

• Casual: light or dark denim, white tee, white sneakers — roll sleeves for a relaxed look.
• Work-ready: cream blouse, tailored navy trousers, loafers or low block heels.
• Fall layering: rust or mustard skirt, ankle boots, a slim leather belt to cinch the waist when buttoned.
• Weekend: cargo-style chinos or a midi slip dress, layered with the cardigan worn open for a boho touch.

Style and silhouette

Classic button-front cardigan silhouette with a straight-ish hem and a comfortable, slightly relaxed fit. The patterned bands add visual interest without overwhelming, so it can act as either the focal point of an outfit or a calm layering piece. Wooden fastenings add a handcrafted, natural accent that pairs well with leather and woven accessories.

Season suitability

Best for transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when you want light to moderate insulation without bulk. It’s also suitable for cool summer evenings and can be layered under coats during winter for extra warmth. Because of its balanced weight, it is a reliable travel companion for mixed climates.

Fit notes

• Designed with a relaxed drape — if you prefer a fitted look, consider sizing down only if your shoulder and bust measurements allow; otherwise use your usual size.
• The knit has gentle recovery and will soften slightly after the first few wears.
• When fully buttoned, allow for comfortable movement at the shoulders—if you anticipate heavy layering underneath, choose the next size up.

Care tips

• Turn the cardigan inside out before laundering to protect the surface and preserve color contrast.
• Use a mild detergent and wash on a gentle cycle or by hand to minimize agitation.
• Remove promptly from the machine; reshape while damp and dry flat to maintain silhouette and avoid stretching at the shoulders.
• Use a fabric shaver or pill comb on low settings to tidy any pills that appear over time.
• Store folded rather than hung for long-term storage to prevent shoulder distortion.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Spot treat spills immediately with a mild soap and cold water; blot, don’t rub.
2. For full wash: place the garment in a mesh wash bag (buttons closed) and select a gentle cycle or hand-wash. Use cold water and a pH-neutral detergent.
3. Avoid bleach and high-alkaline detergents that can weaken regenerated fibers.
4. After washing, press lightly between towels to remove excess water instead of wringing.
5. Reshape the cardigan on a flat surface and allow to dry flat away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
6. If needed, steam gently or use a low-heat iron through a cloth; avoid applying heat directly to buttons.
7. To reduce microfiber release, wash less frequently, use a cold gentle cycle, and consider a microfiber collecting bag or filter in the laundry system.
