- Is this cardigan warm enough for winter?
- No. It is a lightweight cotton-blend knit with short sleeves, so it suits spring, summer and indoor layering. For cold weather you would want a long-sleeve wool or cashmere cardigan.
- Can I machine wash it?
- The care label says handwash at 30 degrees. A gentle machine cycle risks shrinking and pilling, so handwashing and drying flat is the safer routine.
- How does it fit?
- It is a regular women's fit in sizes S to L with some stretch in the knit. If you want a loose, oversized look, consider sizing up.
- What can I wear it with?
- Wear it buttoned as a top with trousers or a skirt, or open over a dress, camisole or tee. The V-neck also layers well over a collared shirt.
- Will the knit pill?
- The polyester content makes some pilling likely with friction under the arms and where bags rub. Washing inside out and by hand slows it down.
