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.

| Ultra-Soft Tie-Up Boxy-Fit Cardigan: Choose this if you want an ultra-soft, plush knit cardigan with a relaxed boxy, waist-length silhouette, raglan sleeves, ribbed trims, and a crew neck. It is made of 52% polyester from recycled plastic bottles blended with acrylic, nylon, and a touch of spandex, and closes with three vertical tie cords that tie into bows rather than buttons. Note that the tie-front design leaves narrow open gaps between the ties, so an underlayer shows through the center front as worn, and it comes in Light Grey, Chocolate/Espresso, and Baby Blue in sizes X-Small through X-Large.[1,2,3] | Boxy-Fit Cable-Knit Pure Cotton Cardigan: Choose this if you want an exceptionally soft, 100% natural cotton layer for sensitive skin, with breathable warmth for cool spring days through breezy summer evenings, per aggregated reviewer sentiment. The cable-knit, crew-neck design fastens with a single row of tonal buttons and has ribbed trims, and reviewers praise its versatility from office to weekend and its packability for travel. Be aware the intentionally boxy, oversized cut runs large and slightly cropped — shoppers between sizes are advised to size down, though it stays short — so it may overwhelm smaller frames and disappoint anyone wanting a longer, more fitted cardigan; also note the blue and red shades may differ from website images.[4,5] | Belted Crossover Cardigan: Choose this if you want a versatile black wrap-style cardigan that reviewers found easy to dress up for the office or dinner and to wear casually over a t-shirt and jeans. Its soft, substantial knit, deep V-neck crossover front, self-tie belt, and slightly flared peplum hem give it a polished, tailored feel. Note that it runs cropped and small — reviewers suggest sizing up for a longer line — and with no hidden clasp the front can gap open, so it's not ideal if you want a snug wrap.[6,7,8,9] |
