Compared within this brand.
| Responsible Merino Wool Ribbed Cardigan: Choose this if you want a lightweight, breathable layer in 100% responsibly sourced merino wool: Le 31 (a Simons exclusive designed in Canada) makes it ultra-soft, temperature-regulating, and part of the retailer's eco-friendly wool collection, with a fine vertical rib knit, crew neck, front button placket, and ribbed cuffs and hem. It's a fitted, long-sleeve black cardigan that sits at hip level with a close-to-body cut, though the fit shown is relative to the pictured model and may vary on different wearers.[1,2,3] | Silky Knit Cardigan: Choose this if you want a silky, featherlight V-neck cardigan in a slim-to-regular cut for layering under a blazer or polished office looks, with reviewers praising its buttery-soft feel for all-day wear. The fine knit of 50% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, 28% polyester and 22% nylon provides warmth without bulk but is too thin for colder days without extra layers, and several buyers doubt the fine knit's longevity with frequent wear. Shoulders and armholes may run slightly large for some, so narrow-shouldered shoppers may want to size down.[4] | Muted Ribbed Sweater: Choose this if you want a long-sleeve crewneck with a pronounced vertical rib knit and a muted charcoal two-tone marled look, finished with ribbed collar, cuffs, and a straight hem. It is made of 100% reprocessed cotton (described as recycled cotton in the product description) and, as shown on the model, fits close through the chest with a straight torso and sleeves reaching the wrists. Note that the listed options are limited to the Black color in small and medium sizes.[5,6,7,8] |
