Product Insights
This sweater from Contemporaine, Simons' in-house career-woman label, is a scalloped trim Henley collar openwork sweater made from 100% reprocessed cotton, saving up to 20,000 L of water per kg fiber and avoiding agricultural chemicals. Its four-button placket and scalloped trim feminize the classic Henley, drawing visual focus to the upper body, while the openwork knit provides airflow to prevent overheating under a blazer. The relaxed fit accommodates shorter recycled fibers and the slubby texture softens after washing for a smooth next-skin feel. However, the openwork is see-through, requiring a camisole for modesty, and the relaxed fit can be sized down if desired. Sold exclusively at Simons for 69 CAD.
