Product Insights

The Contemporaine Adjustable Ruched Waist Sweater, priced at 49 CAD and half the sale price of Target's ruched-waist knit top at $19.99 CAD, offers a custom hourglass fit via side drawstrings that toggle between an oversized blouson and cinched silhouette. Its 58% acrylic/42% nylon blend reduces pilling, resists wrinkles and color fading, and provides wool-like warmth and softness without itch, but requires hand washing and flat drying to preserve the drawstrings and fine knit. Exclusively available at Simons in Canada, it carries Contemporaine's curated Canadian cachet.

Price comparison
Half the sale price of Target's ruched-waist knit top at $19.99 CAD.
Durability
The 58% acrylic/42% nylon blend reduces pilling and resists wrinkles.
Adjustability
Side drawstrings cinch the waist for a custom hourglass fit.
Silhouette
Side drawstrings toggle between an oversized blouson and a cinched hourglass.
Wrinkle resistance
The acrylic-nylon blend resists creasing for a smooth post-pack look.
Color fastness
Burgundy colour resists fading from washing and sunlight.
Warmth and softness
Hollow acrylic fibers deliver wool-like warmth and softness without itch.
Washing method
The acrylic-nylon blend can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, but hand washing and laying flat to dry are recommended to avoid snagging the drawstrings and stretching the fine knit.
Exclusivity
Sold exclusively at Simons in Canada, this sweater carries Contemporaine's curated Canadian-designed cachet.
Pilling resistance
Blending nylon with acrylic reduces pilling to a moderate level, minimizing fuzz balls compared with pure acrylic.
Shape retention
The nylon in the blend reinforces the fine knit, helping the sweater resist tearing and hold its shape through everyday wear.
Sizing
The sweater is offered in a single one-size cut, and the adjustable waist extends the fit range from oversized to cinched.

Adjustable Ruched Waist Sweater: Choose this if you want a relaxed, loose-fit crewneck sweater in a fine ribbed knit whose adjustable ruched drawstring waist lets you cinch or release the silhouette at the sides. It is made of 58% acrylic and 42% nylon, has dropped shoulders, long sleeves, and a straight hem that sits at the top of the hips (slightly cropped on the model), and this burgundy variant comes in one size only.[1,2,3]Ruched Waist Fine-Knit Sweater: Choose this if you want a fitted, fine-knit crew-neck top with slight ruching at the waist and short, above-the-elbow sleeves in a smooth, matte fabric. It is made of 53% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, 29% polyester, and 18% nylon, comes in Black, Off White, Taupe, and Red in sizes X-Small to X-Large, and is a Contemporaine by Simons exclusive designed in Canada. Note that the fit is close to the body rather than loose, so it suits those who prefer a shaped silhouette.[4,5,6]Fitted Waist Ottoman Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft, stretchy ottoman-knit sweater with a defined waist — it has a slightly boxy upper body with dropped shoulders, a crew neck, short dolman-style sleeves with slits near the hems, and a matte, medium-weight, opaque fabric with fine horizontal ribbing. Choose it for a fitted-waist silhouette with a hem that sits at the waist or hips, in a solid dark color shown in images. Note it comes in one size only, so fit flexibility matters before buying.[7,8,9,10]
