Product Insights

The Ultra-Soft Tie-Up Boxy-Fit Cardigan by Contemporaine offers a two-in-one silhouette through a tie-cord that cinches for an hourglass fit or stays loose for a boxy drape, styled as a knot or bow, and worn open over a fitted top for a 90s-inspired look. Made from a recycled polyester blend that is ultra-soft, moisture-wicking, and pill-resistant through 40+ washes, it retains its shape and resists shrinkage. Available in XS-XL (unlike competitors' one-size), this Simons-exclusive, Canadian-designed piece is priced at CAD 69, positioned between more expensive alpaca-wool cardigans and cheaper linen/acrylic options.

Verified claims

Fit adjustment
Tie-cord cinches for an hourglass fit or stays loose for a boxy drape.
Tie finish
Tie the cord as a simple knot for a sporty look or a soft bow for a romantic look.
Open layering
Worn open over a fitted top, the cardigan creates a 90s-inspired silhouette.
Sizing range
Available in XS-XL, while competitors like Suzie Blue are one-size.
Fit retention
Recycled polyester construction retains shape and resists shrinkage after washing.
Fit profile
Boxy, structured, full-length cardigan ideal for layering over fitted tops.
Pilling removal
Use a fabric shaver to trim pills without damaging the knit.
Care
The recycled-polyester blend knit shows minimal pilling through 40 washes, retains its plush softness, and resists wrinkles and shrinkage, so the boxy silhouette holds up through frequent laundering.
Softness
Recycled polyester typically feels softer than virgin polyester, and this cardigan's plush knit builds on that natural softness rather than relying on chemical finishes.
Moisture management
Moisture wicking and drying speed are within 2-3% of virgin polyester
Shape retention
Resists wrinkles and shrinkage, preserving the boxy silhouette
Design exclusivity
Simons-exclusive cardigan designed in Canada
Fabric quality and sustainability
52% recycled polyester, 37% acrylic, 8% nylon, 3% spandex: ultra-soft, medium-weight, machine-washable, quick-drying, pill-resistant
Price value
At CAD 69, more affordable than alpaca-wool cardigans but pricier than linen and acrylic options
Machine washability
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry to maintain the soft plush knit.
Weight and warmth
The ultra-soft plush knit is medium weight and provides warmth suitable for mild fall weather or indoor layering; it is cozy without being overly heavy.
