Is the Calix cardigan warm enough for winter?

It is a lightweight polyester layer, not an insulator. It works as an indoor or mild-weather layer and needs a coat over it in cold weather.

Can I machine wash it?

No. The care instructions call for hand washing, so machine cycles and tumble drying can damage the print and ribbing.

Keep the rest plain: a solid tee, a white blouse or a simple dress in one of the print's colors. Avoid other patterns.

It is dressier and holds its print and shape well, but cotton breathes better and is usually easier to wash.

There is no detailed fit information, so check the brand's size chart and consider sizing up if you want a looser layer.
