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.
