Does the Bec cardigan run true to size?

It is cut fitted, and most owners say it runs snug. If you want a relaxed fit or plan to layer it over a shirt, go up one size.

It is 95% cotton with 5% elastane, so the knit is soft and breathable with enough stretch to hold its shape.

Can I wear it buttoned as a top?

Yes. The button front and boat-to-round neckline make it work as a standalone top with high-waisted jeans or skirts.

Wash at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry. Avoid a hot dryer, which can shrink the cotton and stretch the knit.

It is a lightweight knit, so it works best as a layer under a jacket or coat rather than as outerwear on its own.

The line includes solid black and polka-dot versions. Availability varies by size and colorway.
