Product Insights

The Textured Knit Cardigan by Le 31 offers a modern, cropped silhouette (15–19 inches) in a breathable yet dense knit made from 100% reprocessed recycled cotton, which reduces carbon emissions by 80% versus conventional cotton. Originally $125, it is now $39.95 (68% off) through Simons' private-label model, making sustainable fashion accessible. The main tradeoff: the nubby knit requires gentle machine wash and flat drying, and it is less durable than blends, demanding careful maintenance.

Verified claims

Environmental impact
Mechanically recycled cotton fibre production emits roughly 80% less CO2-equivalent than a conventional cotton benchmark, at about 381 kg versus 1,958 kg per tonne.
Material
100% reprocessed cotton yields a nubby knit requiring gentle wash and flat dry.
Price value
Clearance pricing makes 100% recycled cotton accessible at $39.95.
Fit
The cropped length falls 15 to 19 inches from the shoulder seam and sits one to two inches below the natural waistband, visually elongating the legs.
Durability
Because the 100% recycled cotton has no virgin cotton to stabilize its short recycled fibers, gentle machine washing and flat drying are the practical way to preserve the cardigan's structure through repeated wear.
Exclusive pricing
The clearance price of $39.95 is 68% off the $125 original, made possible by Simons' private-label model.
Softness / texture
The recycled cotton has a raw-textured, slightly irregular hand that is comfortable against skin but less smooth than mercerized cotton.
Sizing
The cardigan comes in S–XL and follows standard body width, but the cropped length is shorter than a typical cardigan, so buyers wanting a regular non-cropped fit may find it too short.
Styling / trouser pairing
For a clean silhouette, the cropped cardigan pairs best with mid- or high-rise trousers; the hem overlaps the waistband by about an inch, and wide-leg or pleated trousers balance the boxy crop.
Color versatility
The off-white or ivory colorway acts as a near-universal neutral over dark denim, olive trousers, or black tailoring, making it a low-risk entry into the cropped cardigan silhouette.

Note the ribbed hem and cuffs are visibly tighter than the body knit, which gives a slightly fitted feel at those points.[5,6,7,8]Slub Knit Polo-Collar Cardigan: Choose this if you want a cropped, boxy cardigan with a point collar that falls to the waist with a relaxed, dropped-shoulder fit.
