Product Insights
Only's Lesly Open Cardigan offers a soft, drapey layer in a 50% viscose, 27% nylon, and 23% recycled polyester blend, with ribbed hem and cuffs providing structure and a polished finish. At 49 CAD—less than half the cost of comparable US cardigans—it includes front pockets typically found on higher-priced styles. The V-neck and open front create an elongating vertical drape, and the 75 cm back length (size M) layers smoothly over dresses and slim tops. The tradeoff: care requires hand washing or gentle cycle with flat drying to preserve softness, and back length ranges from 77.5 cm (size S) to 75 cm (size M). The single heathered olive-green color has sage undertones.
