Product Insights
The Contemporaine Metallic Buttons Jacquard Cardigan is a thick knit cardigan for fall or cool days, not a jacket alternative, with double-knit jacquard providing insulation without stiffness for transitional seasons. Its regular fit accommodates wider shoulders and bust in a straight silhouette suitable for office and fall layering; sizing up yields relaxed drape without losing shape. Sewn shoulder pads are removable, and the knit resists sagging at elbows and hems. The jacquard pattern never fades, cracks, or peels, colors stay vibrant, and the fabric stretches to fit generously while retaining shape with good pilling resistance. Made from LENZING ECOVERO viscose from certified forests, it feels soft and airy with fluid drape, and the fiber absorbs dye strongly for crisp, fade-resistant color; color accuracy matches photos for grey/black, but blue has green undertones. This Simons-exclusive, Canadian-designed piece is priced at $79 as an entry point for the line, and works for the office, weekend denim, or layered over dresses.

A polished layer for office days
For work or office settings, this cardigan's tailored silhouette and metallic buttons lend a professional polish while the jacquard knit keeps it comfortable. Reviewers report wearing it all day without feeling restricted or overheated. Note that it's a soft sweater-knit rather than a structured woven jacket, so those expecting blazer-level stiffness may find it too relaxed.[1]
Weekend layering with jeans
Per a customer review, this cardigan layers well with jeans for casual weekend wear, adding texture and shine that elevates the outfit. Reviewers describe it as a go-to for brunch or errands, and note it can also dress up over a dress when the occasion calls for it.[1]
A lighter layer over dresses and skirts
Reviewers describe reaching for this cardigan over dresses or skirts when they want added warmth and elegance without the bulk of a full jacket, especially in transitional weather. It's also noted to shift easily between casual outfits with jeans and dressier looks, bridging cardigan and jacket in one piece.[1]
Dressing up an outfit with a statement cardigan
Customers highlight this cardigan's antique gold braided buttons and rich, vibrant colors as features that make it a statement piece for dressing up an outfit. Throw it on over a simple look when you want an everyday outfit to feel more polished.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Metallic Buttons Jacquard Cardigan: Choose this if you want a statement cardigan with antique gold buttons and a windowpane jacquard that reviews say dresses up jeans for weekend wear or adds warmth and elegance over dresses in transitional weather. It's a thick, stretch knit in a forest-conscious LENZING ECOVERO viscose blend (50% viscose, 28% polyester, 22% nylon) with a regular, true-to-size fit that some customers size up in for a looser drape. Note that it's a soft sweater-knit rather than a structured woven jacket, so buyers expecting crisp blazer-style tailoring have reported being disappointed.[1] | Stretch Polka-Dotted Jacquard Cardigan: Choose this if you want a stretchy jacquard-knit cardigan with an all-over polka dot pattern, a boxy relaxed silhouette, and covered buttons down the front, finished with ribbed edging at the crew neck, hem, and cuffs. It comes in Black and Baby Blue, with size 1 fitting small and medium and size 2 fitting medium and large. The fabric is a viscose-rich blend (45% viscose, 30% polyamide, 25% polyester), so it offers supple stretch rather than a rigid knit feel.[2,3,4,5] | Floral Tapestry Boxy-Fit Cardigan: Choose this if you want a lightweight, soft stretch knit for spring layering over a tee on mild days or for easy all-day wear while lounging or running errands. Its relaxed boxy fit with dropped shoulders ends at the hips and pairs with jeans or slacks, while the muted watercolor-style floral tapestry in cream, dusty pink, green, and rust tones reportedly earns compliments. It is made with forest-conscious LENZING ECOVERO Viscose and finished with fabric-covered buttons and ribbed trims, though it is best suited to mild weather rather than deep cold.[6,7,8,9,10] |

Cozy Chic in Every Stitch
Tailored to perfection, this sweater adds a touch of class to my workday wardrobe. I opted for a large size since I prefer a relaxed fit over anything too snug.
I love how it looks and feels!
Great quality, great fit, could not ask for better!
CARDIGAN
BOUTONS TROP GROS
Perfect fit, design and color.
This is a beautiful sweater/jacket. The color is fantastic, very striking, has very nice buttons, subtle antique gold braided style, very very nice. I love it. The shoulder pads are very well placed, and anchored in to prevent them from bulking or sliding.
Stylish and dressy
Well made and goes well with jeans and a skirt
Coupe classique
Je l'adore, taille M pour porter avec une robe
Just what I wanted!
Quality is great, colour true to photos and fabric thick and warm. A combination of sweater and jacket, due to its structure. It has shoulder pads which I hadn't known; can be removed if needed. Another winner from Simons!
Just beautiful
Im just so pleased. It fits perfectly and its so lovely
