Product Insights
This boxy cardigan from Contemporaine, Simons' family-run label since 1840, offers a relaxed yet structured silhouette with a straight cut that drapes fluidly and layers without bulk, framed by ribbed trim. Its LENZING ECOVERO viscose provides a soft, airy hand feel, supported by EU Ecolabel certification for eco-friendly production. The main tradeoff: gentle cold wash and flat dry are required to preserve softness and minimize pilling. Styling versatility allows belting or tucking to create a defined waist for a less relaxed look.
Verified claims
- Drape
- Straight cut drapes fluidly and layers without bulk

- Fiber feel
- Soft, airy drape that makes the boxy cut feel relaxed.
- Brand heritage
- Contemporaine is Simons' in-house label, family-run since 1840.
- Design & sizing consistency
- Contemporaine's in-house design control supports consistent execution of details like contrasting trim and boxy proportions, and consistent sizing cuts.
- Brand heritage
- Contemporaine is one of Simons' primary in-house labels, launched in the 1960s, and Simons has been family-operated since opening its doors in Quebec City in 1840.

| Contrasting Trim Striped Soft Knit Boxy Cardigan: Choose this if you want a soft, stretchy button-front knit with a boxy, waist-length silhouette, narrow horizontal stripes, and contrasting black ribbed trim at the crew neckline, placket, cuffs, and hem. It is made from a 50 percent LENZING ECOVERO viscose blend with polyester and nylon, and comes in three striped colorways (Patterned Black, Brown, and Blue) in sizes X-Small through X-Large. It is a Contemporaine by Simons exclusive designed in Canada, a brand the retailer positions for women in their 30s.[1,2,3] | Striped Funnel Neck Cardigan: Choose this if you want a relaxed, slightly cropped cardigan in a soft, cozy stretch knit, with a short funnel neck that buttons at the top, drop-shoulder sleeves, and even horizontal stripes running across the body and sleeves. It comes in a range of striped colorways (Grey, Patterned Ecru, Copper/Rust, Khaki/Sage/Olive, Patterned Blue, Burgundy) in XS-SMALL through XL-XXL. Note that the fabric is mostly reprocessed polyester with just 6% wool, so it suits shoppers comfortable with a synthetic-blend knit rather than a wool-dominant one.[4,5,6,7] | Moss-Stitch Striped Knit Cardigan: Choose this if you want a soft, ultra-comfortable 100% reprocessed cotton knit for lounging and relaxed, casual settings — reviewers consistently praise the fabric, even when otherwise dissatisfied. It has a boxy, relaxed fit, a short folded polo collar with three mirror buttons, short sleeves, a textured moss-stitch knit, thin striped detailing, and a straight hem with small side vents, in sizes X-Small through X-Large. Be aware that multiple reviewers found it runs short (it falls just above the hip on the model), calling it too short to wear as a polo or for golf, so consider sizing up if you need more coverage.[8,9] |
