Pocketed Open Front Long Sleeve Cardigan | Dusty Blue / S 100100929841981

How to measure

To choose the best size, measure a similar garment that fits the way you like and compare those numbers to the product measurements. Lay the cardigan flat on a smooth surface and measure as follows:

1. Chest (Bust) — Measure 1" (2.5 cm) below the armhole from one side seam to the other. Multiply that number by 2 to get the full circumference.
2. Shoulder Width — Measure straight across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
3. Sleeve Length — Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff along the outside of the sleeve.
4. Center Back Length — Measure from the base of the collar (center back neck) down to the hem.
5. Hem Width — Measure across the bottom hem from side to side and multiply by 2 for the circumference.
6. Pocket Opening (optional) — Measure the width of the pocket opening across and the depth from opening to bottom of pocket if pocket capacity matters.

Tips: use a soft tape measure, round measurements to the nearest 0.5 cm (1/4 in), and if you’re between sizes choose the larger size for layering. 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials & fabric details

Cardigans of this style are commonly knit from soft, easy-care blends that balance drape, warmth and durability. Typical fabric characteristics include:

• Common blend — e.g., 55% Acrylic / 30% Polyester / 15% Viscose: soft hand, good drape, low allergen risk and easy-care (machine washable).
• Cotton blends — breathable and cool, slightly firmer structure, great for warmer climates.
• Wool or wool blends — warmer and insulating; may require gentler care (hand wash or dry clean recommended).
• Cashmere blends — very soft and luxurious; delicate and usually hand wash or dry clean only.

Check the product label or product details on the page for the exact fabric composition for this specific cardigan. Below is what each fiber contributes:

• Acrylic: soft, lightweight, colorfast and affordable; resists moths and wrinkles.
• Polyester: durable, shape-retaining and quick-drying.
• Viscose (Rayon): adds drape and a silky hand; improves breathability.
• Cotton: breathable and natural-feeling; more prone to shrinkage if not cared for properly.
• Wool/Cashmere: warm, insulating and naturally water-repellent; needs gentler care.

Model & fit

Model details (for styling reference): Height 5'9" (175 cm), bust 32" (81 cm), waist 24" (61 cm), hips 34" (86 cm). The model is wearing a size S.

Fit notes: This open-front cardigan is designed for a relaxed, layering-friendly silhouette. It typically falls at hip to mid-thigh length depending on your height. If you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down; for roomy layering, choose your usual size or size up.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

Follow these care steps to preserve shape, color and softness. Always refer to the garment care label for the exact instructions for your specific fabric composition.

Everyday care (for acrylic/polyester/viscose blends)

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle; turn inside out to protect the surface.
• Use a mild detergent and wash with like colors.
• Avoid bleach and fabric softeners (they can affect fiber performance).
• Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry—avoid hanging wet knits to prevent stretching.
• If needed, steam or iron lightly on a low setting with a cloth between iron and fabric.

Delicates (wool, cashmere or fine knit blends)

• Hand wash in cold water with a wool detergent or use a machine’s wool/delicate cycle.
• Do not wring—gently press out excess water and lay flat to dry on a towel.
• Store folded (not on hangers) to preserve shape; use cedar or lavender sachets to deter moths.
• For pilling, use a fabric shaver or sweater comb gently.

Storage & maintenance tips

• Rotate wear—don’t wear the same knit every day to let fibers recover.
• Avoid rough surfaces and Velcro to reduce snagging and piling.
• Fold and store in a breathable space; avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Layer over a crewneck tee or slouchy sweater with skinny jeans and ankle boots.
• Work ready: Wear over a blouse or fitted knit with tailored trousers and loafers or pumps; add a slim belt to define the waist.
• Weekend relaxed: Pair with a t-shirt, leggings and slip-on sneakers for a cozy, put-together look.
• Dress it up: Belt the open front over a midi dress and add heeled boots or block heels for an elevated silhouette.
• Layering tricks: Roll the sleeves to show a cuffed shirt underneath, or wear a turtleneck for extra warmth and contrast at the neckline.
• Accessorize: Long necklaces, a structured tote or a silk scarf add polish; keep pockets flat—avoid overfilling to maintain shape.
• Color pairing: Neutrals play well with jeans and monochrome looks; bold cardigans work as the focal point against a neutral base.
