Angel Wings Printed V-Neck Button-Down Long Sleeve Cardigan | Orange / S 100100846402125

Overview

A graphic knit that functions as both a lightweight jacket and a cozy top: this V‑neck, button‑front cardigan features a distinctive angel‑wing motif and a relaxed drop‑shoulder shape. The blend of soft acrylic and stabilizing polyester gives it a wool‑like hand without heavy weight, plenty of stretch for movement, and quick recovery so it layers easily over tees, blouses or dresses. Wear it buttoned as a top or open as a topper — a wardrobe piece meant to add personality and polish to everyday looks.

Garment measurements (laid flat)

These are the finished cardigan measurements to help you compare with the pieces you already own. All measures are in inches.

Note: the "bust" values above represent the finished garment circumference at the bust; if you measure across front (seam to seam), double that number to compare with your body measurement. For metric conversions multiply inches by 2.54.

How to measure — body and garment (quick guide)

• Bust: wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level beneath your arms and across your back.
• Waist: measure at your natural waistline (the narrowest point) without pulling tight.
• Hips: stand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of the hips.
• Shoulder width: measure across the back from shoulder bone to shoulder bone — helpful if you want to know where the sleeve will sit.
• Sleeve length: from the shoulder seam (or shoulder bone for dropped shoulders) to the wrist; bend your elbow slightly for accuracy.
• Garment chest: lay the cardigan flat, fasten buttons, measure across the chest from underarm seam to underarm seam and double that number.
• Back length: center back at the base of the neckline down to the hem while the garment is flat.

Choosing the right size — fit guidance

Decide how you want the piece to sit and plan the positive ease (extra room beyond your body measurement):

• Close / neat: ~0–2" positive ease
• Classic relaxed: ~2–4" positive ease
• Layering over thicker knits: allow 4–6"+ positive ease

Example: if your bust measures 36", a garment bust of around 38–40" will give a polished, slightly relaxed fit, while 42"+ will produce a roomy, casual silhouette. If you are between sizes and expect to layer bulky sweaters underneath, size up.

Model & fit reference

The model in the product imagery is 5'9" (175 cm) with approximate measurements 34" bust / 25" waist / 36" hips and is shown wearing a medium for a casually relaxed look. Because the cardigan has dropped shoulders and stretch, it reads slouchy rather than tailored — petite wearers may find the length sits lower than a cropped cardi; tall wearers will appreciate the longer sleeve and body proportions.

Fabric advantages — pros & cons

Pros

• Soft, wool‑like hand with lightweight warmth — comfortable for prolonged wear.
• Excellent color and print retention; printed motifs stay vivid with proper care.
• Stretchy knit that offers freedom of movement and an accommodating fit.
• Quick‑drying and low‑maintenance — travel friendly and easy to launder.
• Polyester content adds abrasion resistance and helps the cardigan keep its shape.

Cons

• May pill over time where there's repeated friction (bag straps, underarm, sides).
• Synthetics trap more heat than many natural fibers — not ideal for very hot climates.
• Can develop static in low‑humidity conditions; hair cling or crackling can occur.
• Petrochemical‑based fibers are less biodegradable; washing releases microfibers unless you take protective steps.

Materials explained — what 85% acrylic / 15% polyester means

Acrylic: a synthetic fiber that mimics many desirable qualities of wool — soft hand, loft and warmth — while being lighter in weight and taking dyes vividly, which helps printed patterns look crisp. Acrylic’s downsides include a tendency to pill and reduced breathability compared with natural fibers. It is produced from polyacrylonitrile and is petroleum‑derived.

Polyester: a strong, dimensionally stable synthetic fiber (commonly polyethylene terephthalate). In this blend polyester improves durability, resists stretching and shrinking, quickens drying, and helps the printed design retain its placement and clarity. However, polyester also contributes to heat retention and can hold onto odors unless washed.

Environmental and care notes: both fibers are long‑lasting and machine‑friendly, but they can release microplastic fibers during washing. To reduce shedding and environmental impact, wash on gentle cycles, use a microfiber catching bag or filter, wash full but not overcrowded loads, and air‑dry when possible. Recycled polyester and certified low‑impact processes exist in the industry, but unless noted, this garment is not necessarily produced from recycled feedstock.

Seasonal suitability

Best in transitional weather — spring and fall — when you want light warmth without bulk. It also performs well as an evening cover‑up in summer or as an interior mid‑layer beneath a heavier coat in mild winter climates. For colder winters, use it as a layering piece under a structured coat or puffer.

Care tips & quick fit notes

• Wash cold on a delicate cycle and treat the knit gently — turning it inside out and using a mesh bag protects the print and surface.
• Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry to preserve silhouette; if you must tumble, use the lowest heat and remove early.
• Because of the relaxed fit and stretch, pick your usual size for the intended relaxed look; choose a size up for more layering room or a size down for a closer fit.
• Store folded rather than hung long‑term to prevent shoulder stretching from the dropped shoulder design.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

1. Turn the cardigan inside out and close buttons to protect the printed surface and prevent snagging.
2. Place in a mesh laundry bag; select a gentle/delicate cycle with cold water and mild liquid detergent (no bleach).
3. Skip heavy spin cycles that stress the knit; remove promptly to reduce wrinkles.
4. Reshape flat on a clean towel to dry; if you use the dryer, choose a very low heat setting and remove while slightly damp, then finish flat.
5. Steaming is the preferred wrinkle remover; if ironing is necessary, use low heat with a pressing cloth to avoid shine or melting.
6. Address pills with a fabric shaver or sweater comb; treat snags by gently guiding loops back into the knit rather than cutting.
7. To reduce static, try a short tumble with a dryer sheet on low heat, or increase humidity in your space. For long‑term freshness, store in a breathable drawer with cedar balls or sachets (avoid plastic bags).
8. Minimize frequent machine washes — air out between wears and spot clean when possible to preserve color and reduce microfiber release.

Styling — color pairing & outfit ideas

The angel‑wing graphic acts as a focal point that pairs well with both neutrals and soft color accents. Suggested pairings:

• Casual: light or mid‑wash denim, white tee, low‑profile sneakers — a go‑anywhere outfit.
• Smart‑casual: high‑waisted tailored trousers, tucked blouse, loafers or low boots for office‑ready polish.
• Feminine evening: a bias slip dress with the cardigan worn open or belted at the waist to define your silhouette.
• Texture play: pair with corduroy, suede or satin for contrast; a leather mini or tailored jacket over the cardigan adds structure.
• Color accents: pull one muted tone from the print (burgundy, blush, olive or camel) for scarves, bags or shoes to keep the look intentional.

Style & occasions

A versatile piece that fits weekend errands, creative‑office environments and relaxed evenings out. The convertible nature — buttoned as a top or open as a jacket — makes it useful on travel days and transitional weather. Add a slim belt to create a defined waist for date‑night styling, or roll the sleeves and pair with straight‑leg jeans for a polished everyday look.

Style tips (specific outfit suggestions)

1. Weekend coffee: open over a fitted tee, cuff the sleeves, straight jeans and white leather sneakers.
2. Monday meeting: buttoned, front tucked into tailored trousers and loafers; add a delicate pendant.
3. Date night: layered over a silk slip dress, cinched with a thin belt and paired with heeled ankle boots.
4. Travel: wear over a breathable tank, leggings and slip‑on shoes — folds compactly and serves as an airplane layer.
5. Cold day layering: thin merino base layer, cardigan, then a structured wool coat on top.
6. Weekend market: combine with a midi skirt, ankle boots and a canvas tote for texture contrast.

FAQ

Is the cardigan true to size?

It runs generous in the chest and has a relaxed, slouchy cut. Choose your normal size for the intended relaxed look; size down for a closer fit or size up if you plan to layer over thick sweaters.

How warm is it?

Provides light to moderate insulation — ideal as a layering piece in fall and spring. For cold winter climates, use it as an inner layer beneath a warmer coat.

Will the print fade after washing?

If treated gently (cold, delicate wash, inside out, mesh bag) the print retains color well. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach and high‑heat drying to preserve vibrancy.

Does it pill?

Some pilling is normal over time with synthetic knits, especially where surfaces rub. Use a fabric shaver and avoid excessive friction to keep the surface smooth.

Can I iron it?

Yes, at low temperature with a pressing cloth or use a garment steamer. High direct heat can damage synthetic fibers and leave shiny spots.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Many people find acrylic blends softer than scratchy wool, but sensitivity varies. If you have reactive skin, layer a thin natural‑fiber top underneath as a protective barrier.

How can I minimize microplastic shedding?

Wash less frequently, use colder, gentler cycles, put the cardigan in a dedicated microfiber bag, consider a washing machine filter or a microfiber catcher, and prefer air drying when possible.

Can I dry clean it?

Most home care is sufficient (gentle machine wash or hand wash). If you prefer professional cleaning or the garment has heavy soiling, check the care label — dry cleaning is typically safe but not necessary for routine maintenance.
