Is this cardigan warm enough for cool weather?

No. The open pointelle stitch is light and airy, so it works as a summer or transitional layer rather than a warm one.

Yes, the open-stitch knit is sheer. Plan to wear it over a camisole, tank or dress.

How should I wash it?

The cotton-polyester blend tolerates machine washing, but hand washing or a mesh bag and flat drying help the open knit keep its shape.

It is waist-length, so it ends near the waist rather than the hip and pairs well with high-rise bottoms.

Does it run true to size?

It is cut as a fitted layering piece; shoppers who want a looser look over thicker tops often size up.

Our take on the DKNY Women's Short-Sleeve Crewneck Cardigan

A waist-length, short-sleeve cardigan in an open-stitch floral pointelle knit, 60% cotton and 40% polyester, with a crewneck and button front. The open stitch gives it a light, textured look that works as a summer layer or over a dress, and the cropped cut sits at the waist rather than the hip. It is a fashion piece more than a warm layer: the open knit is airy and shows what is underneath, so it suits shoppers who want a textured topper for warm weather. Rivals in this niche are often plain fine-gauge knits or crochet styles; this one leans decorative, and the cotton blend is easy to wash but can stretch at the shoulders and button placket.
