Layering cardigan worn partly buttoned over a top
This merlot pointelle cardigan can be styled partly closed down its center, leaving a narrow opening that shows the top underneath at the midriff — the way it's worn in the product photos. Its openwork pointelle knit is sheer enough that an underlying layer, like the white top shown in the images, remains visible through the lace eyelets and the center gap. How it's buttoned is up to the wearer; the photos just show one styling option.[1,2]
