Product Insights
Le 31's flat-ribbed polo-collar cardigan in recycled cotton knit offers a lightweight, breathable layering piece that softens with each wash, transitioning from structured to lived-in. Its controlled stretch and button placket allow it to be worn open as an overshirt or buttoned for a more fitted top, though the full button placket requires careful cold washing and flat drying to prevent pilling and stretching.
