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.
