Argyle Round Neck Ribbed Trim Cardigan | White / One Size 100100960313696

Overview

A fresh take on a heritage argyle knit — this short-sleeve, button-front cardigan blends patterned interest with clean, ribbed finishing. The light, flexible construction was designed to work as a layering piece or worn buttoned as a lightweight top. The small scale of the pattern and the tidy rib trim keep the silhouette modern and wearable for everyday outfits.

Materials & what they mean for you

This style is made from a synthetic knit blend chosen for softness, durability and easy care. The fibers produce a smooth, wool-like hand without the itchiness of some natural wools, and they hold color well so printed or woven patterns remain crisp wash after wash. Because the fabric is man-made, it resists heavy creasing and dries quickly — practical when you want a polished look with minimal maintenance.

Important background: synthetic knits release tiny fibers when washed, so simple steps (see Care Guide) will protect the garment and reduce microfibre loss.

Fabric advantages — Pros and cons

How to measure — product and yourself (step‑by‑step)

Accurate measurements are the best way to ensure the fit you want. Use a soft tape measure, a flat surface and one person to help if possible.

Measuring the garment (recommended method)

1. Lay the cardigan flat on a table with the front closed and smoothed—do not stretch the fabric.
2. Bust (chest): measure straight across the front at armpit level (from seam to seam) and then double that number to get the circumference.
3. Shoulder width: measure from the outer edge of one shoulder seam straight across to the other shoulder seam.
4. Sleeve length: measure from the shoulder seam down to the sleeve hem.
5. Garment length: measure from the highest shoulder point at the neckline (where the shoulder seam meets the neckband) straight down to the hem.
6. Hem width: measure flat across the bottom hem if you need to judge waist/hip clearance.

Measuring your body (how to check your fit)

1. Bust: measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight. Wear a bra similar to what you'll wear with the cardigan.
2. Shoulder width: measure from one bony shoulder point straight across the back to the other.
3. Preferred length: measure from the same highest shoulder point down to where you want the hem to sit on your body.
4. Sleeve preference: for a short-sleeve look, measure from shoulder point down to the desired sleeve end (mid-arm or above elbow).

How to use those measurements to choose the fit

Decide how you want the cardigan to feel and add "wearing ease" to your body measurements:

• Fitted look: add about 0–2 inches to your bust measurement.
• Semi-relaxed: add 2–4 inches.
• Roomy/oversized: add 4–8 inches.

Because this knit is highly stretchy, it will comfortably accommodate smaller differences; if you are between fits, choose the smaller ease for a neater silhouette or larger for more layering room.

Fit notes

• This piece has a short/regular length and short sleeves, creating a slightly cropped, feminine profile on many torsos.
• The ribbed trim at the neckline and button band keeps edges tidy and helps the garment keep its shape after wear.
• One‑size or limited-size knits like this are intended to fit a range of body types — double-check the garment's flat measurements and compare them with your own plus your preferred ease (see measuring steps above).

Model information — what to look for in photos

If model details aren’t listed on the product page, use the images to judge scale: note where the hem hits on the model (waist, high-hip, etc.) and whether the sleeves sit above or below the elbow. The visual will show whether the intended look is fitted or relaxed. For a reference point, pieces with a short length like this often appear cropped on taller models and closer-to-true-length on shorter models.

Color & how to combine the cardigan

The argyle motif works especially well as a focal piece. Here are versatile pairing ideas depending on the colorway you pick:

• Neutral tones (cream, gray, black): team with dark denim or tailored trousers and loafers for an elevated everyday outfit.
• Pastel or light tones: pair with light-wash jeans, white trainers and delicate gold or silver jewelry for soft, modern looks.
• Rich/darker tones (navy, burgundy): contrast with camel outerwear, leather boots and a structured bag for a slightly dressier aesthetic.
• For a preppy vibe: layer a crisp collared shirt underneath, add a pleated skirt or chinos and loafers or Mary-Janes.
• To wear it as a top: button all the way and tuck into high-waist trousers or a skirt; add a slim belt to define the waist.

Style & occasions

This cardigan adapts easily: wear it for casual weekends, coffee dates, smart-casual offices or layered under a coat for city errands. The argyle detail lends a preppy, vintage-inspired note, while the streamlined rib trim keeps the look contemporary.

Season suitability

Ideal for transitional weather — spring and fall — when you want a little extra warmth without bulk. It also works well on cooler summer evenings and as a layering piece through milder winter days (pair under a coat and over a long-sleeve base layer).

Care tips & quick fit reminders

• Wash gently in cool water and avoid high heat — this helps prevent fiber damage and keeps the knit looking newer longer.
• Turn the garment inside out when washing to protect the surface and patterned areas.
• Reshape while damp and dry flat to preserve the original silhouette; avoid hanging heavy knits to prevent shoulder stretching.
• If you prefer a neater drape, lightly steaming on a low setting smooths fibers without flattening texture.

Care Guide — to keep it lovely longer

1. Pre-wash care: treat small stains promptly with a mild detergent and cool water; avoid bleach or harsh stain removers.
2. Washing: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Use a mesh laundry bag to reduce abrasion and fibre loss.
3. Detergent: choose a mild, pH-balanced detergent formulated for delicates — avoid excessive fabric softener which can coat synthetic fibers.
4. Drying: lay flat on a towel to dry away from direct sunlight. If you use a dryer, tumble on the lowest heat briefly and remove while slightly damp to finish flat.
5. Pilling: remove pills with a fabric shaver or sweater comb; treat gently to avoid thinning the knit.
6. Storage: fold and store in a drawer or shelf; for long-term storage, use breathable garment storage and add cedar or lavender sachets to deter pests.
7. Reduce microfibre shedding: wash full loads on gentle cycles, use a microfibre-catching wash bag or filter, and avoid hot water and high-spin speeds.

FAQ

Q: Is this cardigan see-through?

A: It’s a medium-density knit — generally not see-through. Lighter or very pastel colorways can appear slightly more translucent in bright light; wearing a camisole or thin top underneath solves this.

Q: Can I machine wash it?

A: Yes — use cold water, a gentle cycle and a mesh bag for best results. Reshape and dry flat for longevity.

Q: Will it pill?

A: All synthetic knits can show some pilling where there’s repeated friction (underarm, against bags). Regularly de-pill with a fabric shaver to keep it looking fresh.

Q: Is the fit small or large?

A: The knit is highly stretchy and designed for flexible fit. Check the garment’s flat measurements against your body measurements and choose the wearing ease you prefer (see the measuring guide above).

Q: Can I wear it buttoned as a top?

A: Yes — it works well buttoned as a cropped top with high-waist skirts or trousers, or layered as a cardigan over shirts and dresses.

Q: What should I do about static?

A: Reduce static by adding a small amount of fabric softener during the rinse or use a dryer sheet. A light spritz of water or a quick steam will also help.

Style tips — outfit ideas

• Weekend casual: buttoned as a top with high-rise straight-leg jeans and white sneakers; tuck in slightly at the front for a relaxed finish.
• Preppy: layer over a white button-down, add a pleated midi skirt and loafers; finish with thin socks or tights for cooler days.
• Office smart-casual: wear over a silk cami, tuck into tailored trousers and add low heels or polished loafers.
• Night out: wear buttoned with high-waist wide-leg pants and heels, add statement earrings and a slim belt to emphasize your waist.
• Layered warmth: wear over a fitted long-sleeve tee or turtleneck and under a wool coat; ankle boots complete the look.
