Product Insights
Icône's Touch Of Wool Ribbed Boxy-Fit Cardigan at $69 CAD delivers a uniquely soft and lofty handfeel from its cashmere, viscose, and acrylic blend, offering lightweight insulation that is warmer than pure wool. Its cropped, boxy silhouette with drop shoulders, stretch rib, and weighted hem layers easily over high-waisted bottoms and can be worn buttoned or open. With 55% recycled fibers—the highest in its price class—it provides fluid drape from reprocessed viscose and structural strength from reprocessed polyester. While machine washable on a gentle wool cycle in cold water to reduce shrinkage, pilling is expected and requires gentle care, balancing sustainable affordability with conscientious maintenance.

Lounging and work-from-home comfort
Reviewers describe this cardigan as a cozy step up from a standard sweatshirt for all-day lounging and working from home. Its soft, warm wool blend feels luxurious against the skin, and the loose, non-restrictive cut offers hours of comfort without clinging. Some reviewers note the fabric can pill early, so longevity may vary.[1]
Model-off-duty layering for casual outfits
Wear this ribbed, boxy-fit cardigan open over a vintage band tee with high-waist jeans for an on-trend, cropped layering piece that elevates casual outfits. Its slightly oversized, cropped silhouette and deep ribbing tap into current fashion, though the long sleeves and roomy cut lead most shoppers to size down, and petite wearers (5 feet 1 inch and under) report the proportions can overwhelm smaller frames.[1]
A cozy layer for casual outfits
Reviewers describe this cropped, boxy-fit cardigan as a versatile layering piece, with a soft wool blend that feels warm against the skin. The ribbed texture is said to elevate casual outfits. Some reviews note it may pill prematurely with wear.[1]
A transitional layer for mild weather
This ribbed wool-blend cardigan works as a mild-weather topper, with a weight that takes the edge off a cool breeze while staying breathable on sunny afternoons. Shoppers have highlighted it as a good pick for in-between seasons when a light layer is all you need.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Touch Of Wool Ribbed Boxy-Fit Cardigan: Choose this if you want a soft, warm wool-blend layer with an on-trend boxy, cropped silhouette and wide ribbing for all-day lounging, mild-weather wear, or styling open over casual outfits. Reviews warn it runs notably large with long sleeves and a short body, so petite shoppers and those between sizes should size down at least one — and the crop may still feel extreme. Be aware the fabric is prone to early pilling, with one reviewer finding bobbles before washing, so a fabric shaver may be needed.[1] | Embossed Golden Buttons Shaker-Rib Cardigan: Choose this if you want a slightly cropped, boxy shaker-rib cardigan with embossed gold buttons down the front, offered in sizes X-Small through X-Large and six colors. Per reviewer feedback, its festive button detailing and rich green hue draw compliments for holiday parties, and it also works for everyday casual outfits; the knit is reported to keep its shape and be well-made. Note that softness opinions are split—some find the knit soft while at least one reviewer found it not soft—and the boxy, cropped cut may not flatter all frames, so try it on or consider sizing down if you prefer a fitted silhouette.[2] | Tweed-Style Knit Boxy Cardigan: Choose this if you want an Icône by Simons exclusive, designed in Canada, with a tweed-style look: a supple, stretch knit in a reprocessed acrylic and cotton blend with an irregular black-and-cream checked pattern, contrasting black trim, gold-tone buttons down the front, buttoned waist pocket flaps, long sleeves, a crew neck, and a cropped boxy silhouette. Note that the size data lists only size SMALL in the Black and White color, and the length is shown in imagery as ending near the waist, though one description places the hem at hip length.[3,4,5,6] |

Love it!
Very nice fabric and comfortable loose fit. Slightly big which I love - it’s a bit short, heads up. Regardless it fit beautifully so I am keeping it!
Liked it so much I bought two colours!
Fits well and looks great over a tshirt.
Quite long in the sleeves
I liked the thickness and style, but for a petite person ( 5 foot 1) it ran too long in the sleeves. Otherwise would have kept it .
gilet de coton
fait très très grand
Cool!
Comfort absolu
Belle coupe tissus de faible qualité
Même sans l'avoir lavé, le tissus fait déjà des petites peluches. .
Belle coupe
Belle qualité j’adore la coupe ! Jaimerais plus de couleurs!
soft and cozy
I'm happy with the cardigan, it's soft, warm and goes well with a lot of my wardrobe. It's pretty short (but I'm not too tall) and it's trendy now, so totally fine with me
