The Fit

This cardigan has a slightly cropped silhouette designed to hit closer to the waist than a traditional long cardigan.

That shorter proportion makes it especially easy to wear with mid- and high-rise denim because you get waist definition without needing to tuck in a bulky sweater.

Available in Small, Medium and Large.

Why We Love It

Argyle is one of those patterns that does a lot of styling work for you.

Instead of adding several layers or accessories to make an outfit interesting, the pattern creates visual interest all on its own. The vertical button front also helps break up the pattern through the center.

Wear it completely buttoned as a sweater, undo a few buttons at the neckline, or wear it open over a simple fitted top. One cardigan—several completely different looks.

Best For

• Casual everyday outfits
• Dressing up denim
• Work and business-casual outfits
• Women who prefer shorter sweater proportions
• Layering without adding bulk
• Classic wardrobes that need a little personality
• Preppy and vintage-inspired outfits

Lisa's Style Tip

Don't automatically put a longer top underneath a cropped sweater. Pairing a shorter sweater with a higher-rise bottom lets the waist of your jeans do some of the work and can create better visual balance.

If you want another layer, choose something relatively streamlined underneath so you don't lose the shape of the cardigan.

FAQs

Is this cardigan cropped?
It has a slightly cropped fit rather than a traditional long cardigan length. It's designed to pair especially well with mid- and high-rise bottoms.

Can I wear it as a sweater instead of a cardigan?
Absolutely. Button it completely and wear it as your main top, or open a few buttons and layer underneath.

Does this sweater contain wool?
Yes, but only 1% of the fabric content is wool. The majority of the sweater is a recycled polyester/polyester/nylon blend.

How can I style an argyle cardigan?
Keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the pattern do the work. Denim, trousers and simple skirts all make easy partners for an argyle sweater.

Pairs Well With

Start with your favorite high-rise jeans or trousers. Add simple jewelry and let the argyle pattern be the statement, or layer the cardigan over a fitted tank or tee for a more relaxed look.
