Fall and winter layering piece
Based on customer reviews, this thick, cozy knit cardigan is used as a cold-weather layer over a t-shirt or blouse to keep warm. Reviewers also note that layering it over a shirt keeps the wool from feeling irritating against the skin.[1]
Brightening neutral outfits with a rainbow pop
Customers reach for this cardigan to elevate a neutral or all-black outfit, saying the vivid rainbow hues add a cheerful pop without clashing and pair easily with pieces already in the wardrobe. One buyer did return theirs because the front color pattern wasn't balanced, so the pattern alignment may be worth a look on arrival.[1]
Effortless relaxed everyday layering
Reviewers describe this Italian-made cardigan as a comfortable, easy layer for relaxed everyday looks that can be dressed up or down across seasons. The boxy cut reportedly runs large and can feel shapeless, so petite or tailored-fit wearers may want to size down or check the hem length, and the knit can feel long and limp if you prefer more structure.[1]

| Rainbow Textured Cardigan Exclusive Collection From Italy: Choose this if you want a chunky, cropped wool-blend cardigan for cozy fall and winter layering — customers report the thick knit keeps them warm and the wool doesn't irritate when layered over a shirt. Its variegated rainbow hues are reported to pair easily with neutral or all-black outfits, and it can be dressed up or down. Note that the boxy, oversized cut runs large and can feel shapeless, so petite or tailored-fit wearers may need to size down or check measurements, since the hem length isn't listed.[1,2,3] | Contrast Stitch Fuzzy Open Cardigan Exclusive Collection From Italy: Choose this if you want a loose, boxy, open-front cardigan with a soft fuzzy knit and a touch of wool, made in Italy exclusively for Contemporaine, with contrast stitched trim, ribbed cuffs and hem, and slightly puff sleeves at the wrists. It comes in one size and two colorways (Ivory/Cream Beige or Chocolate/Espresso), with a straight hem falling to the upper thigh on the model shown. Note the fabric is mostly acrylic (66%) with 8% wool, so it suits those comfortable with a wool-blend knit rather than a pure wool piece.[4,5,6,7] | Xl Buttons Wide Sleeves Felted Cardigan Exclusive Collection From Italy: Choose this if you want a made-in-Italy, loose boxy cardigan in soft stretch felted knit, with a crew neck, large fabric-covered buttons down the front, and wide elbow-length sleeves with rolled cuffs and a rounded hem that falls to the upper hip. It comes in one size, in Black or Taupe, and is made of 31% viscose, 28% polyester and 41% nylon; note it is a short style, so it suits those looking for an upper-hip-length layer.[8,9,10] |

Happiness in a sweater
I LOVE this sweater. It had been in my cart for more than a year and I finally pulled the trigger. I purchased the M/L size as I wanted it a little oversized which it is without being to crazy in the sleeves or anything. I haven’t washed it yet so hoping it maintains its size and appearance after that.
cute et confortable
de bonne qualité, epais et coloré comme sur l’image
Vraiment joli
Magnifique et très facile à agencer grâce aux nombreuses couleurs que l'on retrouve dedans.

I’m glad I picked this up when I did. Fall and winter are so dreary with browns oranges and black. It’s nice to add a pop of colour to my wardrobe.

Colourful Cardigan
Although due to present climate I haven’t had a chance to wear it, I think it’s going to be perfect for winter.
Cardigan texturé arc-en-ciel
Très beau cardigan. Magnifique mais beaucoup trop grand et vécu un défaut de confection assez gênant. Désolée que ce cardigan m’est été envoyé malgré le défaut apparent. Qualité service !!
Cardigan coloré
J’adore ce chandail ! Les couleurs sont magnifiques ! Je le porte avec un t-shirt en dessous ! Facile d’entretien ! Je porte du médium et la grandeur small-medium est parfaite!!
Lovely 🥰 Rainbow Sweater
I love 💕 my Rainbow Cardigan, it puts a smile on my face when I put it on!! The colours are absolute sunshine 🌞 and happiness. It’s amazing what beautiful colours can do!!! 🙏
So pretty and well made
A little boxy but that’s intentional. Love the colours; I am a Spring so this sweater and colour combo is perfection.
Fun sweater
Pretty pink colourway but I found the pattern did not balance on each side of the front so I returned. Maybe just that one sweater was off balance? I would have preferred a slightly lighter weight yarn.
Superbe
Les couleurs sont magnifiques!
Love the rainbow sweater
Beautiful rainbow sweater. Love the pinks and mauves etc. . . Can't wait to wear it when summer is over.
Veste multicolore
Wow, très belle, j’adore ses couleurs vibrantes
Coup de cœur
J’adore cette veste, elle est confortable, indémodable et va avec presque tout!

SPLENDIDE
VRAIMENT superbe, un véritable arc-en-ciel en tricot qui apporte un sourire immanquable et beaucoup de compliments
Cardigan avec un look attirant les regards
Son apparence et sa chaleur
Fidèle à la photo !
Confort douillet , couleurs magnifiquement pimpantes ! Se portera autant par une journée fraîche de printemps ou d'automne que par temps froid hivernal. J'aurais préféré qu'il soit un peu plus long cependant. Je prends habituellement la taille grand/très grand pour être à l'aise et porter chemisier ou chandail en dessous, mais cette taille n'étant pas disponible, j'ai acheté M/G . Je devrai peut-être le laisser ouvert, mais je le garde !
Beautiful and very warm cardigan
This cardigan is beautiful and very warm!
Vibrant Pinks
Love love this sweater Cozy and warm
Gorgeous colours, cozy & warm
I love this sweater although I wish the length was a bit longer. I really wavered about the size as I usually wear MEDIUM. The plastic buttons don't do the quality of the knit justice so I did change the buttons to the embossed vintage silver I had that gives the cardigan a " Scandi" look. SIMONS please add the length from shoulder to hem in your size descriptions.
Gift idea
So unique. Great as a Christmas gift for someone special
Beautiful!
Love this bulky, colourful sweater.
Beautifully-made, unique Cardigan
I initially bought the medium size (my usual) but it was too large. The online return with Simon’s was seamless! Excellent customer service. I ordered the small & it’s a perfect fit. The stitching is very well-done, vibrant colours & great style for fall and winter. I highly recommend-recommend this gorgeous, soft cardigan!
Il est parfait
La couleur et la coupe est magnifique
love it!
This sweater is absolutely gorgeous. I am so glad I took a chance and ordered it. I know that it will become a firm favourite in my wardrobe and I am guessing that I will hear some glowing reviews whenever I wear it. Thank you so much!
Magnifique cardigan chaud et confortable!
Un tricot de qualité, aux couleurs lumineuses. Une vraie doudou pour les froides soirées d’hiver! J’appréhendais qu’il me pique car il est composé, en partie, de laine mais je le porte avec t-shirt ou un chemisier en coton sans problème.
