Product Insights
The Contemporaine Soft Knit Zippered Hooded Cardigan offers a deliberately oversized fit that can be sized down for a fitted look, all for $69—$11 less than comparable polyester options. Its 50% ECOVERO viscose fiber is EU Ecolabel certified and traceable, using 50% less water and carbon than generic viscose, making it the only under-$100 cardigan with such certification. The cellulosic knit delivers a softer hand, better drape, and superior breathability and moisture wicking versus synthetic alternatives, suitable for year-round wear. To preserve its shape and longevity, wash at 30°C, reshape damp, and steam; flat drying and careful storage are recommended. The stretch knit facilitates easy layering, balancing sustainability, comfort, and affordability.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- Size down for a fitted look; the loose fit is intentionally oversized.
- Care
- Hand wash cold inside out with mild soap, do not wring or soak, reshape and lay flat to dry, and steam or cool-iron to relax the fibers and preserve the relaxed fit.
- Sustainable fiber
- This cardigan is knit from 50% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose (with 28% polyester and 22% nylon); the viscose fiber is EU Ecolabel certified, traceable, and produced with at least 50% less water use and carbon emissions than generic viscose.
- Longevity
- Gentle hand washing in cold water and flat drying preserve the knit's shape and extend its life.
- Versatility
- Cellulosic fibers make the cardigan breathable for year-round use.
- Competitive sustainability
- Uses EU Ecolabel certified fiber, giving it a sustainability edge over typical under-$100 hooded zip knits that rely on polyester-rayon-spandex blends.
- Softness and drape
- ECOVERO fibers give the knit a soft hand and fluid drape; the long sleeves, dropped shoulder seams, ribbed cuffs and hem, and hip-length fine-gauge matte texture hang as a relaxed, non-bulky silhouette rather than a boxy one.
- Breathability
- Breathes and wicks moisture better than synthetic knits.
- Environmental impact
- EU Ecolabel-certified fiber produced with at least 50% less water use and carbon emissions than generic viscose.
- Washing
- Hand wash cold inside out with mild soap or detergent; do not wring, bleach, or use fabric softener.
- Drying
- Dry flat and reshape while damp; steam or iron inside out on low heat after drying.
- Storage
- Fold or use a padded hanger to prevent stretching.
- Price advantage
- Priced $69, $11 less than polyester cardigan, with in-house pricing.
- Eco certification
- 50% ECOVERO viscose is EU Ecolabel-certified and traceable from source to garment.
- Fit
- Intentionally oversized loose fit; size down for a fitted look, or take your usual size for the intended easy, layered fit.
- Design origin
- Designed in Canada by Contemporaine as a Simons-exclusive in-house brand.
- Occasion
- The loose fit and soft stretch knit read as cozy and relaxed, suiting casual, at-home, lounge-forward wear rather than structured tailoring; the relaxed-fit design is meant as a classic layer.
- Ribbed trim
- Ribbed cuffs and hem provide the shape-holding edges while the loose knit body drapes freely, so the relaxed silhouette reads deliberate rather than stretched out.
- Blend construction
- The 28% polyester and 22% nylon blended with the ECOVERO viscose improve wrinkle resistance and wash durability, so the knit's soft hand and fluid drape survive laundering instead of sagging or creasing like pure viscose.
- Washing frequency
- Air the cardigan between wears instead of washing after every outing; cutting wash frequency slows the shrinkage, pilling, and color loss that wet-fiber weakness and agitation cause.
- Warmth level
- The viscose knit breathes and does not trap body heat, so this full-zip hooded cardigan works as a warm-weather or indoor layer rather than a deep-winter insulator.

| Soft Knit Zippered Hooded Cardigan: Choose this if you want a soft, stretch knit cardigan with a full-length zip and built-in hood for an easy, relaxed layer. It has a loose, hip-length fit with dropped shoulders and ribbed cuffs and hem, made from a blend of 50% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, 28% polyester, and 22% nylon. It comes in sizes X-Small to X-Large and four colors (Black, Oxford, Chocolate/Espresso, and Lavender/Light Crimson), and is a Contemporaine by Simons exclusive designed in Canada.[1,2,3] | Polo-Collar Mini-Rib Zip-Up Cardigan: Choose this if you want a relaxed, hip-length zip-up cardigan with a pointed polo collar, a two-way silver metal zipper, and a fine mini-rib knit in soft, stretchy fabric. It is made of 53% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose (characterized by the merchant as forest-conscious) with polyester and nylon, and comes in Black (X-Small listed) and Grape/Dark Crimson (Small through X-Large listed). Note that the sleeves are fitted rather than loose, and the hem is slightly curved with a small center opening at the zipper.[4,5,6,7] | Plush Funnel-Neck Cardigan: Choose this if you want an intentionally oversized, boxy cardigan with a short funnel collar, white buttons, and a plush, warm knit that reviewers found buttery-soft and well suited to crisp spring and fall days, with an easy drape that layers comfortably over a tee. Most reviewers who sized down found a perfect slouchy silhouette, while those expecting a true-to-size fit felt lost in the fabric, so order one size down unless you want an oversized look. Expect some maintenance: multiple reviewers reported pilling on the sleeves after one or two wears, and a few with sensitive skin found the synthetic blend rough or itchy, making a base layer advisable.[8,9] |
