Animal Pattern Ribbed Button Up Long Sleeve Cardigan

How to measure

To pick the best size and check the fit, measure either the garment flat or your body and compare. Use a soft tape measure and record measurements in inches or centimetres. When measuring a garment laid flat, always double width measurements to get the full circumference.

Measuring the garment (laid flat)

1. Bust / Chest — Lay the cardigan flat and button it up. Measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other, then multiply by two.
2. Shoulder width — Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.
3. Sleeve length — Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. (If your size chart uses centre-back sleeve length, measure from the centre back of the neck to the wrist.)
4. Total length — Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the collar) down to the hem.
5. Waist / Hem width — Measure across the narrowest point or across the bottom hem and double the number for circumference.

Measuring your body

1. Bust — Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level and relaxed.
2. Waist — Measure around the natural waistline (narrowest point).
3. Hips — Measure around the fullest part of your hips.
4. Sleeve / Arm length — Measure from the shoulder bone to the wrist for sleeve length fit.

Fit guidance: For a close, fitted look allow roughly 2–4 cm (¾–1½") of wearing ease at the bust; for a standard relaxed fit allow 6–10 cm (2½–4") of ease; for an oversized look allow 10–15 cm (4–6") or more. Ribbed knits have stretch—if you prefer layered looks, choose the size that gives you the desired ease.

Materials

This cardigan is a ribbed knit designed for soft texture and vertical definition. Typical characteristics and common fabric choices for this style:

• Knit type: Ribbed knit — gives stretch, recovery and a flattering close-to-body texture.
• Typical composition: many ribbed cardigans are made from blends such as viscose/rayon + polyamide/nylon + a small % elastane (for example: ~60–75% viscose, ~20–35% polyamide or polyester, ~2–5% elastane). Exact composition varies by batch—see the garment label for the precise breakdown.
• Lining: usually unlined (single-layer knit).
• Trims: resin or horn-effect buttons; secure stitched seams.
• Performance notes: soft drape, moderate-to-good stretch, retains print/pattern well. May be prone to light pilling over time depending on fiber mix—follow care guidance below.

Tip: If you need the exact fiber percentages for allergy or care reasons, check the sewn-in care label or the product details section on the product page.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn the cardigan inside out before washing to protect the print and fabric surface.
• Hand wash in cold water or machine wash on a gentle / delicates cycle with similar colours. Use a mild detergent.
• Use a mesh laundry bag for machine washes to reduce abrasion and prevent button damage.
• Do not bleach. Avoid strong stain removers that can affect colours and fibres.
• Reshape gently while damp and dry flat on a towel or drying rack away from direct heat and sunlight to prevent stretching and fading.
• Do not tumble dry—heat can shrink or damage elastic fibres. If needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side or steam to remove wrinkles; avoid high heat on elastane-containing blends.
• To combat pilling, wash inside out, turn garments after drying, and remove pills with a fabric comb or depiller carefully.
• Store folded rather than hung to preserve shoulder shape; if hanging is preferred, use wide, shaped hangers and avoid wire hangers.
• For delicate blends or stubborn stains, consider professional dry cleaning following the care label guidance.

Style tips

• Casual weekend: Button the cardigan up with a tucked white tee, high-rise straight jeans and white sneakers for an easy, modern look.
• Office ready: Wear it buttoned or worn as a lightweight jacket over a slim blouse and tailored trousers. Add a thin leather belt over the cardigan to define the waist.
• Evening / date night: Layer over a slip dress or a satin cami, add delicate gold jewelry and heeled ankle boots for contrast with the animal print.
• Layering: Use as a mid-layer under a blazer or coat for texture; the ribbed pattern adds visual interest under structured outerwear.
• Mixing prints: If you like bolder looks, pair the animal print with small-scale stripes or dots in matching tones—keep one print dominant to avoid visual clutter.
• Colours and accessories: Pull one colour from the animal pattern for shoes or a bag to tie the outfit together; neutrals (black, white, tan) always balance patterned pieces.
• Silhouette tips: Balance an oversized or boxy cardigan with a fitted bottom (skinny jeans, pencil skirt) and pair a cropped cardigan with high-waisted trousers to accentuate the waist.
