Striped Snap Down Long Sleeve Cardigan | Cloudy Blue / S 100101566591466

How to measure this cardigan

Measure the garment (laid flat)

Lay the cardigan flat on a smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles. Use a soft measuring tape and record the flat measurement, then double where noted to get the full circumference.

• Chest (Bust) — measure straight across 1 cm (½") below the armholes from seam to seam, then double that number for the chest circumference.
• Shoulder width — measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
• Sleeve length — measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. If there is no defined shoulder seam, measure from the highest point of the shoulder to the cuff.
• Back length — measure from the center back base of the neck straight down to the hem.
• Hem (Bottom) width — measure straight across the bottom edge and double for full circumference.
• Armhole — measure the armhole depth from shoulder seam down to the underarm seam and double for circumference.

Measure yourself (to choose the right size)

• Bust — measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
• Waist — measure at the narrowest point of your natural waist.
• Hips — measure around the fullest part of your hips.
• Sleeve length (optional) — from the center back of the neck, across the shoulder and down the slightly bent arm to the wrist.

Tip: Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements and allow ease: about 1–3 cm (0.4–1.2") for a fitted look, 5–15 cm (2–6") for layering depending on how roomy you want it.

Materials

Striped snap-down cardigans are typically lightweight knit blends designed for comfort and shape retention. Exact composition varies by item—check the sewn-in label for precise fiber content. Typical materials and their characteristics:

• Cotton — breathable, soft, comfortable; may shrink slightly if dried on high heat.
• Viscose / Rayon — smooth drape and soft hand; can be delicate when wet and benefits from gentle handling.
• Acrylic / Polyester — durable, colorfast, and wrinkle resistant; good for shape retention but more prone to pilling over time.
• Elastane / Spandex — small percentages (1–5%) add stretch and recovery so the cardigan keeps its shape.
• Hardware — snaps are usually metal or coated metal; check for plating if you have metal sensitivities.

If you need exact fabric details for care or allergy concerns, refer to the garment label or the product specification on your order page.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always follow the sewn-in care label first.
• Turn the cardigan inside out before washing to protect the surface and reduce friction on stripes and snaps.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle/delicate cycle with like colors, or hand wash delicate fibers (e.g., viscose, wool blends).
• Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or harsh enzymes that can break down fibers and fade colors.
• Fasten the snaps before laundering to prevent snagging and reduce stress on the closure.
• Reshape and dry flat on a towel or drying rack—avoid hanging heavy, wet knitwear by the shoulders to prevent stretching.
• Avoid high-heat tumble drying. If tumble drying is unavoidable for a synthetic blend, use the lowest heat and remove promptly.
• Iron inside out on low heat or use a steamer. For delicate blends, use a pressing cloth to prevent shine.
• Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or sweater comb; do not pick at pills with your fingers.
• Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf. For long-term storage, use breathable garment bags and cedar or lavender sachets to deter moths (avoid direct contact with scented products if you have sensitivities).
• For wool or heavily embellished pieces, consider professional dry cleaning.

Style tips

• Wear open over a tank top or tee with high-rise jeans and sneakers for an easy, everyday look.
• Snap up and tuck into tailored trousers or a pencil skirt for a polished office outfit; add a slim belt to define the waist.
• Layer under a blazer for extra warmth without bulk—works well in transitional seasons.
• Balance proportions: pair a slightly cropped or tucked-in cardigan with wide-leg pants or a midi skirt for a modern silhouette.
• Coordinate one of the stripe colors with shoes or a bag for a pulled-together outfit.
• Accessorize simply—delicate necklaces or hoops complement stripes without competing with the pattern. For a casual twist, try tying a small knot at the hem.
