Openwork Button Up Dropped Shoulder Cardigan | Dark Gray / S 100100502793414

How we measure this cardigan

All measurements are taken with the garment laid flat on a surface. Use a soft tape measure and compare these to a similar item you already own for the best fit.

• Chest (Bust) — Measure straight across the garment from underarm seam to underarm seam. Double that number to get the full circumference.
• Shoulder width — Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other. For dropped-shoulder styles, measure seam-to-seam (the seam sits lower than a standard shoulder).
• Sleeve length — Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. (For an alternative sleeve measurement, measure from the center back of the neck across the shoulder to the cuff.)
• Center back length — Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (back neck seam) straight down to the hem.
• Hem width — Measure straight across the bottom hem and double that number for circumference.

How to measure your body: Bust — measure around the fullest part of your chest with arms relaxed. Waist — measure at the narrowest point. Hips — measure at the fullest point. Sleeve length — from center back of neck, over the shoulder, to wrist. Allow 2–10 cm (≈1–4") extra for ease depending on how relaxed you want the fit (this cardigan is designed with a relaxed, dropped-shoulder silhouette).

Materials & what they mean

This openwork, button-up dropped-shoulder cardigan is made in a lightweight open-knit construction. Exact fiber content is shown on the product label, but common compositions for this style include cotton, cotton blends, viscose blends and easy-care synthetic blends. Below are typical fiber characteristics:

• Cotton — breathable, soft and cool; natural fiber may shrink slightly if washed hot.
• Viscose / Modal — drapey and soft with a smooth hand; can be delicate when wet so handle gently.
• Acrylic — lightweight, warm and easy-care; resistant to moths but may pill with friction.
• Wool / Mohair blends — warm and fuzzy with good insulation; usually require gentler washing or professional care.
• Nylon / Polyamide — often blended in for strength and better shape retention.

The openwork knit creates a semi-sheer, airy texture — ideal for layering. Check the product label for the precise composition and follow those specific care instructions.

Model & fit information

Model is 178 cm / 5'10" and wears a size S. This cardigan is intentionally relaxed with a dropped shoulder and mid-hip length.

Fit guidance: true to size for a relaxed look. If you prefer a more fitted silhouette, consider sizing down; size up for extra room or more pronounced oversized styling.

Care Guide — To keep it lovely longer

• Always check the care label first and follow any fiber-specific instructions.
• Hand wash cold or use a gentle machine cycle in a mesh laundry bag with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners that can damage delicate knits.
• Do not wring or twist — gently press excess water out. Reshape while damp.
• Dry flat on a clean towel or mesh drying rack away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent stretching and fading.
• Avoid tumble drying. If the blend allows low-heat tumble drying, use with caution and a short cycle.
• Steam on low or iron through a cloth if needed; avoid high heat directly on the knit.
• Store folded rather than hung to prevent shoulder distortion; place lavender or cedar sachets to deter moths.
• Remove pills carefully with a fabric shaver or fine sweater comb. For stubborn snags, use a crochet hook to pull the stitch to the inside and even out the fabric.
• For wool- and mohair-rich blends, consider professional cleaning for best long-term results.

Style tips

• Buttoned up and tucked into high-waisted trousers or a midi skirt makes a refined, office-ready top layer.
• Wear open over a fitted tee, cami or slip dress for a lightweight, layered casual look. Button halfway and do a front tuck for more shape.
• Use a slim belt over the cardigan to define your waist and create a polished silhouette.
• Pair with denim and white sneakers for relaxed weekend styling, or with ankle boots and tailored pants for a smart-casual outfit.
• Accent the openwork texture with delicate necklaces or layered chains; avoid chunky jewelry that competes with the knit pattern.
• Try it as a transitional-season cover-up over dresses or swimwear for an easy, breezy alternative to a wrap.
• Color pairing ideas: neutrals with light denim and creams; pastels with ivory or soft grey; brighter hues as a focal point against a monochrome base.

Note: measurements and appearance can vary slightly by batch and due to the openwork knit. For the most accurate product fibers and care, always refer to the sewn-in label.
