Plaid V-Neck Button Up Cardigan — Product Details

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. For best accuracy wear light clothing when measuring your body, or measure the cardigan laid flat for garment dimensions.

Measuring your body (to choose a size)

1. Bust / Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest with the tape parallel to the floor.
2. Waist: Measure around the natural waist (narrowest point).
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips with feet together.
4. Arm / Sleeve length: From the top of the shoulder (where a seam would sit) down to the wrist.
5. Torso / Back length: From the base of the neck (center back) down to where you want the cardigan to end.

Measuring the cardigan (garment measurements — how we measure)

Lay the cardigan flat on a smooth surface, buttoned/up or as noted, and measure straight across. Multiply flat measurements by two where noted to get the full circumference.

Bust / Chest (laid flat)

Measure from armpit seam to armpit seam. Double this number for the full chest circumference.

Shoulder width

Measure shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.

Center back length

Measure from the center of the back neckline to the bottom hem.

Sleeve length

Measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff. (Alternatively: center back neck to cuff for overall sleeve length.)

Hem width

Measure straight across the bottom hem and double for the circumference.

Armhole / Sleeve opening

Measure the armhole seam opening laid flat (double if you need circumference) or the sleeve cuff opening laid flat.

Tip: If you’re comparing to an item you already own, measure that item flat and compare to the garment measurements listed on the product page.

Materials & fabric information

Exact composition appears on the product tag or the product detail panel. For plaid V-neck cardigans, common materials include:

• Acrylic: Soft, lightweight, colorfast and affordable. Resists moths; may pill over time.
• Wool / Merino: Warm and breathable. Natural insulation; may require gentler care (hand wash or dry clean) depending on blend.
• Cashmere: Luxuriously soft and warm but delicate—often dry clean or hand wash only.
• Cotton: Breathable and easy-care; tends to be heavier and less stretchy than synthetics.
• Viscose / Rayon: Drapey and soft with a silky hand; can be prone to shrinkage—follow care label.
• Polyester / Nylon: Durable, holds shape and color; often blended to improve strength and reduce shrinkage.
• Elastane / Spandex: Small percentage (1–5%) adds stretch and recovery.

How the fiber affects the cardigan: wool blends are warmer and may require gentler cleaning; synthetic blends are easier-care and more durable. Always check the product composition for exact fiber percentages.

Model information & fit notes

Example reference (for fit guidance): Model is 5'9" (175 cm) and wearing a size S. Model measurements (example): Bust 34" / 86 cm, Waist 25" / 64 cm. Fit: this style typically fits true to size with a slightly relaxed silhouette. If you prefer a more oversized look, size up; to wear more fitted, select your usual size or size down depending on the garment measurements.

Always compare your body measurements to the garment measurements on the product page for the most accurate fit.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Read the care label first: follow the manufacturer’s instructions—they override general advice.
• Machine wash: If allowed, wash cold on a gentle cycle inside out or in a mesh laundry bag. Use a mild detergent.
• Hand wash: For delicate fibers (wool, cashmere, viscose) hand wash gently in cool water with a wool-safe detergent.
• Do not wring: Gently press out excess water; avoid twisting which can distort shape.
• Drying: Reshape and lay flat to dry on a clean towel away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid tumble drying unless label explicitly permits it.
• Ironing & steaming: Steam to remove wrinkles or press on low heat with a cloth between iron and fabric. Use care on blends and synthetics.
• Pilling: Use a pill comb or fabric shaver gently to remove pills. Prevent pilling by turning garment inside out before washing and washing on a gentle cycle.
• Storage: Fold knit cardigans rather than hanging to prevent shoulder stretching. Store in a cool, dry place; use cedar blocks or lavender sachets to deter moths.
• Spot cleaning: Tackle stains promptly with a gentle detergent solution and blot—don’t rub.
• Refresh between wears: Air out or steam to refresh fibers instead of frequent washing, which extends life.

Style tips

• Casual: Wear open over a tee or fitted knit and high-rise jeans with sneakers for everyday comfort.
• Office: Button up over a lightweight blouse or collared shirt, pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt and loafers.
• Layered look: Layer a thin turtleneck under the cardigan in cooler months or wear it under a blazer for added warmth.
• Dress it up: Button the cardigan and add a slim belt at the waist; pair with a midi skirt or tailored pants and ankle boots or heels.
• Accessorize: The V-neck is ideal for pendants and statement necklaces; small hoop or stud earrings keep the look balanced.
• Colors & pattern: Pull hues from the plaid for the rest of your outfit to create a cohesive look—neutral bottoms keep the plaid focal.
• Sleeve styling: Roll or push sleeves slightly and add a bracelet or watch for an effortless, modern touch.
