A lightweight layer for outfits from jeans to skirts
This fine-knit cardigan works as a light layering piece, with a soft, thin fabric that reviewers describe as adding shape without bulk. Its streamlined, fitted cut layers over dresses, blouses, or tops, and reviewers say it styles casually with jeans or more dressy with skirts. Some also reach for it on summer evenings or in air-conditioned offices when they want just a little extra warmth.[2]
A light layer for summer evenings and air-conditioned offices
Per customer reviews summarized in an analysis, this fine-knit cardigan works as a light cover-up when there's just a chill—like summer evenings or overly air-conditioned offices. Reviewers describe the thin, breathable knit as providing just enough warmth without overheating, and call the fabric soft, non-itchy, and lightweight for layering.[2]
Wearing it buttoned as a standalone top
Some shoppers wear this fine-knit cardigan buttoned up as a top on its own. In customer reviews summarized by an analysis (original reviews not included), the front buttons are reported to gape or pull across the chest even in the correct size, and they can be tricky to fasten, leading some customers to replace them. Consider whether you're comfortable adjusting the buttons if you plan to wear it this way.[2]
Not the pick for a slouchy, boyfriend-fit look
If you're after an oversized, relaxed cardigan, customer reviews summarized by an analysis suggest this style may disappoint: it's designed to fit closely and runs small in the body. Even sizing up reportedly may still feel too snug for a slouchy, boyfriend-cardigan vibe, though the analysis notes sizing up can suit those wanting a less fitted look.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Small-Button Fine-Knit Cardigan: Choose this if you want a lightweight, soft fine-knit layer for summer evenings or air-conditioned offices, with a fitted, slightly cropped, waist-length cut that layers sleekly over dresses, skirts, or under jackets — a style some petite wearers say fits the XS perfectly. Note the body reportedly runs small with long, narrow sleeves, so many size up unless they want a very fitted look, and it is not ideal for an oversized, slouchy fit. The front buttons can gape or pull across the chest even in the right size (some wear them open or swap the buttons), and the actual color may differ from online photos, with one buyer disappointed in the tone of a pale yellow.[1,2,3,4] | Fitted-Waist Cardigan: Choose this if you want a button-front cardigan that defines your waist: its wide ribbed waistband nips in at the natural waist over a looser, hip-length body, creating an hourglass silhouette that reviewers find flattering and true to size. Its thick, cozy fine-stretch knit (a forest-conscious LENZING ECOVERO viscose blend) makes it a solid layer for cool days and chilly offices, though one reviewer notes it may feel too warm for spring or indoor wear and that it looks best buttoned — so open-front wearers may be less satisfied.[5,6] | Boxy Crew-Neck Cardigan: Choose this for lightweight layering over camisoles or thin tees — reviewers describe a soft, non-itchy knit that adds warmth without bulk, packs lightly, and suits a classic cut that dresses up or down in a range of colors. The boxy, cropped silhouette hits at the hip with a relaxed fit through the chest and shoulders. Be aware that reviewers report colors often differ from website photos (the white shade reads cream) and the fabric may pill under the arms, and if you have a long torso it can run short and ride up unless paired with high-waisted bottoms.[7] |

Acheté pour ma fille : elle l'aime beaucoup. La couleur est aussi très belle.
Lovely weight and Colour
Thos was a nice piece but the arms were extremely ling and narrow.
J'adore ce cardigan. . . c'est mon 2e
Couleur, longueur et douceur, tout est au rendez-vous. Je pèse 95 lbs, je mesure 5'1" et j'ai acheté XS, le fit est parfait.
So small
Beautiful color but the large was more like a small, had reviews reflected size differential I would not have purchased. Returned but had to pay to do that as I don’t live anywhere near a Simon’s location. Return was seamless so I did appreciate that.
Très déçue pas la bonne couleur
Manches très très longues (allaient jusqu'au bout de mes doigts et même +)
Un classique en cadeau pour ma fille

I ordered a size large than usual because I want to wear this with blouses. Glad that I did because it fits slightly on the small side. Colour was not as described online.

Beautiful cardigan
I love the color. I love the way it fits If you want to size up, then definitely go for a size or two bigger than what you are, but this kind of cardigan is supposed to be fitted mostly as it will make your upper figure more feminine looking!
Cardigan ideal
J’adore le fit. La grandeur est « true to size » et le jaune est parfait. Pas trop foncé. Idéal pour le printemps et l’été!
Mignon
À tenu au premier lavage à froid, à voir dans le temps. La couleur n’a pas bougé. Un peu court.
