Textured Knit Button-Front Cardigan — Fit, Materials & Care

How to measure

Measure a similar-fitting cardigan laid flat for the most accurate comparison, or take your body measurements and add ease (see guidance below). Smooth the garment but do not stretch it.

• Chest / Bust (garment): Lay the cardigan flat and measure straight across 1" (2.5 cm) below the armholes from seam to seam. Multiply that number by 2 to get the full chest circumference.
• Full length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (HPS) — where the shoulder meets the neck — straight down to the bottom hem.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For an overall sleeve length that includes the neck, measure from the center back neck to the cuff.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
• Hem and cuff width: Measure flat across the hem or cuff seam-to-seam and double to get the circumference.
• Body measurements: For your body, measure the fullest part of your bust, the narrowest part of your waist, and the fullest part of your hips. Stand relaxed and keep the tape parallel to the floor.

Ease guide: fitted = 0–2" (0–5 cm) extra, regular = 2–4" (5–10 cm) extra, relaxed/oversized = 4"+ (10+ cm) extra. To pick a size: take your bust measurement + desired ease = target garment chest circumference.

Materials & fabric information

This is a textured knit construction — a midweight knit with surface texture (e.g., rib, waffle, or subtle bobble) that gives visual interest and slight structure. Exact fiber content can vary; check the product label for the precise composition. Common fiber blends for textured knits include:

• Cotton or cotton blends — breathable, soft, comfortable; may soften with washing and can shrink slightly if washed hot.
• Wool or wool blends — warm and insulating; may require gentle care (hand wash or dry clean) and can be prone to pilling.
• Synthetic blends (acrylic, polyester, nylon) — durable, shape-retaining, easy-care; added synthetics improve stretch recovery and reduce wrinkling.
• Viscose / modal blends — soft, drapey and smooth; may shrink or lose shape if washed too hot or agitated.

Properties you can expect from a textured knit cardigan: medium warmth, moderate stretch and recovery, soft hand, likely unlined. If you have fiber sensitivities or need precise care instructions, refer to the garment’s fabric content label on the product page or inside the cardigan.

Model & fit details

Example model info (for reference): the model is 5'9" (175 cm) and is wearing a size S for a slightly relaxed fit. On the model the cardigan falls at mid‑hip. Use the measurements in the product size chart (or measure a similar item) to choose the best size for your preferred amount of ease.

If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down; if you prefer more room or layering over thicker knitwear, size up.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

• Wash: Hand wash or machine-wash on a gentle/delicate cycle in cold water. Turn the cardigan inside out and fasten buttons before washing.
• Detergent: Use a mild, wool-safe detergent for wool blends; avoid bleach and strong stain-removers that can damage fibers and texture.
• Dry: Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring). Reshape and lay flat to dry on a clean towel away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinkage and distortion.
• Iron/Steam: If needed, steam gently or use a low-temperature iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth. Avoid direct high heat on textured surfaces.
• Pilling & maintenance: Pilling can occur with friction — remove pills with a fabric comb or pill shaver. Wash inside out and avoid heavy friction (bags, seat belts) to reduce pilling.
• Storage: Fold and store in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging heavy knits for long periods (they can stretch at the shoulders). Use cedar or lavender sachets to deter moths for long-term wool storage.
• Professional care: For wool-heavy blends or if the label states “dry clean only,” follow that instruction to preserve structure and finish.

Style tips

• Casual weekend: wear open over a white tee and high-rise jeans with ankle boots for an effortless, layered look.
• Work-ready: button up and layer over a collared shirt or lightweight blouse; pair with tailored trousers and loafers.
• Belt it: add a slim belt at the waist to transform the cardigan into a cropped jacket and define your silhouette.
• Dress it up: layer over a slip dress or midi skirt with heels or polished flats for a refined evening outfit.
• Transition seasons: use as a midlayer under a coat in colder months or as an outer layer on cool summer evenings.
• Texture play: pair with smooth fabrics (silk, satin, leather) to highlight the cardigan’s textured knit.
• Accessories: add a long pendant or lightweight scarf to draw the eye and add interest without bulk.
