| Wool-Cashmere Loose V-Neck Cardigan: Choose this if you prefer a loose and relaxed silhouette with a dropped shoulder design. It is constructed from a plush and felted knit blend of 90% responsibly sourced wool and 10% cashmere wool. This dark cardigan features a V-neckline with three glossy buttons, complemented by wide ribbed knit finishing on the hem and cuffs.[1,2,3] | Patch Pockets Textured Cardigan: Choose this if you want a polished, structured cardigan for office or smart-casual wear: reviewers describe a substantial, form-holding cotton-acrylic knit (60% reprocessed cotton, 40% acrylic) that gives warmth without bulk and holds its shape, elevating outfits almost like a knitted jacket. Its gold jewel buttons, waist-level patch pockets, and horizontal ribbed texture add a dressed-up touch that reviewers found versatile enough to buy in multiple colors, and it comes in sizes X-Small to X-Large. Note the fit is described as relaxed with a sleek cut that falls to just below the waist, so check sizing if you prefer a closer silhouette.[4,5,6] | Patch Pocket Open Cardigan: Choose this if you want a long, loose open-front layer in a soft, supple knit with a heavy drape, made from forest-conscious LENZING ECOVERO viscose (50% viscose, 28% polyester, 22% nylon) with patch pockets and dropped shoulders. Reviewers consistently praise the fabric as buttery-soft, and its relaxed longline silhouette is reported to sit well for daily wear. Note that it fits generously, so consider ordering one size down if you are between sizes or prefer a closer fit.[7,8] |
