Does this cardigan run small?

It is cut with a slim fit, so it sits close to the body. If you want room to layer over a thicker top, consider going up a size.

Can it be worn on its own as a top?

Yes. The button front and ribbed knit let it work as a standalone short-sleeve top, or open over a tee or camisole.

What is the stripe pattern like?

It is a brown multi-stripe pattern on a ribbed knit, so the stripes are bold rather than subtle.

Is it warm enough for cold weather?

No. The short sleeves and light ribbed knit suit mild weather and layering, not winter wear on their own.

What does Fair Trade Certified mean here?

Madewell states the cardigan is made at a Fair Trade Certified factory, which means the site meets fair labor standards set by the certification.

Our take on the Madewell Women's Short-Sleeve Cardigan in Brown Multi Stripe

A ribbed crewneck cardigan in a brown multi-stripe pattern, cut short-sleeved with a slim fit and a button front. It works as a standalone top in warm weather or as a layer over a tee or camisole. The slim ribbed knit hugs the body, so it reads more like a fitted top than a loose cardigan. It is made at a Fair Trade Certified factory, a detail Madewell leans on for its knitwear. Owners rate it highly, and the main caveat is the close fit: size up if you want room to layer.
