Is this cardigan warm enough for winter?

No. Short sleeves and a lightweight knit make it a layering piece for spring, fall or air-conditioned rooms. For cold weather, a long-sleeve cashmere sweater is the better pick.

Is it really 100% cashmere?

Yes. Aqua states the cardigan is made from 100% cashmere yarns sourced from Inner Mongolian goats, with no wool or synthetic blend listed.

How should I care for it?

Cashmere of this weight should be hand washed in cool water with a gentle detergent or dry cleaned. Lay it flat to dry and fold rather than hang it to keep its shape.

Lightweight cashmere commonly pills at the underarms and where a bag strap rubs. A fabric comb removes pills, and pilling usually eases after the first few wears.

How does it fit compared with a regular cardigan?

The short sleeve cut sits closer to the arm than a long-sleeve knit, so it layers best over sleeveless or thin tops. Check the listed measurements for body length and chest before ordering.

Does the colorblock make it hard to style?

Black and ivory is a neutral pairing, so it works over solid black, white or denim. It is less flexible than a solid cardigan if you want one knit to match everything.
