Striped Button Up Long Sleeve Cardigan

How to measure

For the most accurate fit, measure a similar-fitting cardigan that you already own or measure the garment itself laid flat. Use a soft measuring tape, keep it level, and record measurements in inches or centimeters. When measuring a garment laid flat, double width measurements to get full circumferences.

Measure the garment (recommended)

1. Bust / Chest (laid flat) — Lay the cardigan flat and button it. Measure straight across the front about 1" (2–3 cm) below the armhole from side seam to side seam. Double this number for the full chest circumference.
2. Waist (laid flat) — Measure across the narrowest part of the body of the cardigan; double for circumference.
3. Hip / Hem width (laid flat) — Measure across the bottom hem from side seam to side seam; double for full hem circumference.
4. Shoulder width — Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
5. Sleeve length — Measure from the shoulder seam down the outside of the sleeve to the end of the cuff.
6. Center back length — Measure from the base of the collar at center back straight down to the hem.
7. Armhole depth — Measure from the top of the shoulder seam straight down to the underarm seam.
8. Cuff opening — Measure flat across the cuff and double to get cuff circumference.

Measure your body

1. Bust — Measure around the fullest part of your bust with the tape level under the arms and across your back.
2. Waist — Measure around your natural waist at the smallest point.
3. Hips — Measure around the fullest part of your hips (typically 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waist).
4. Sleeve length — For a tailored fit measure from the shoulder bone to the wrist; for garments measured from the center back, measure from the center back neck point to wrist.
5. Fit guidance — Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements and allow ease: fitted 0–2" (0–5 cm), semi-fitted 2–4" (5–10 cm), relaxed 4–8" (10–20 cm).

Materials & fabric details

The exact fiber content is printed on the product label. Below are common materials used for striped knit cardigans and what to expect from each:

• Cotton — Breathable, soft, and comfortable. Tends to be cool against the skin and machine-washable on a gentle cycle; may shrink slightly if exposed to heat. Reshape while damp and dry flat.
• Wool / Merino — Warm, naturally insulating and elastic. Can require gentle handling: hand wash or dry clean recommended, cold water with wool detergent, reshape and dry flat to avoid felting or shrinking.
• Acrylic — Lightweight and easy-care alternative to wool. Retains color and resists mildew but can pill over time. Machine wash gentle; tumble low or dry flat.
• Polyester — Durable, colorfast and quick-drying. Often blended to reduce shrinkage and wrinkling; machine-washable.
• Viscose / Rayon — Soft and drapey with a smooth hand. Can be delicate when wet; prefer hand wash or dry cleaning and dry flat to maintain shape.
• Nylon / Elastane (Spandex) — Used in small amounts to add strength, recovery and stretch so the cardigan retains its shape.
• Knit construction — Stripes may be formed by dyed yarns (better colorfastness) or by printing. Ribbed trims create structure at cuffs, hem and placket.

Note: If you need the exact composition for this specific cardigan, please check the product label or technical product information included with the item.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always follow the care label first. If in doubt, use the gentlest recommended method for the dominant fiber.
• Turn the cardigan inside out and button it before washing to protect edges and buttons.
• Hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Use a mesh wash bag for machine washing.
• Avoid bleach and strong detergents. Use a wool or delicate detergent for natural fibers.
• Do not wring. Gently press out excess water and reshape while damp. Lay flat to dry on a clean towel to preserve shape—avoid hanging wet knitwear.
• To remove pills, use a fabric shaver or a sweater stone gently—work in one direction and take care around seams and stripes.
• Store folded (not hung) to prevent shoulder stretch. Use breathable storage; cedar blocks or lavender sachets help deter moths.
• For stubborn stains or structured knits, consider professional dry cleaning.

Style tips

• Casual: Layer over a white tee and high-waist jeans with sneakers for a relaxed weekend outfit.
• Office: Button the cardigan and pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt and loafers for a neat, smart-casual look.
• Belted: Add a slim belt at the waist over the cardigan to create definition and a modern silhouette.
• Layering: Wear over a lightweight turtleneck in cooler months for added warmth without bulk.
• Play with proportions: Pair a slightly oversized striped cardigan with slim pants or a fitted dress to balance the silhouette.
• Accessories: Keep jewelry simple—hoop earrings or a delicate pendant complement stripes without competing.
• Mixing patterns: If mixing patterns, keep one pattern small (dots or fine checks) while the stripes remain the dominant motif.
