A button-front knit cardigan with contrast trim running along the edges — the placket, the neckline, the cuffs. Three colors: ivory, red, and brown.
Why the trim is the whole design
A plain cardigan has no line. Adding a contrasting edge draws a border around the entire garment: down both sides of the front opening, around the neck, around each cuff. It's a small amount of yarn doing a large amount of work — it turns a soft, shapeless knit into something with a defined outline.
It's also the detail that makes a simple cardigan look considered rather than default, which is why it shows up on everything from Chanel jackets to varsity knits.
The proportions are unusual
Two numbers worth knowing. The body is short — 18.9" to 20.7" from the shoulder, which puts the hem at or above the natural waist. And the sleeves are long, running 29.1" to 30.3".
Cropped body, generous sleeve. It's a deliberate silhouette and a good one over a high waist, but it isn't a cardigan that covers your hips.
The details
- Contrast trim along the placket, neckline, and cuffs.
- Full button front, so it works closed or open.
- Ribbed knit with a slight stretch.
- Three colors: ivory, red, brown.
- Sizes S through XL.
How to wear it
- Over high-waisted trousers or jeans — the crop wants a high waist beneath it.
- Buttoned, worn as the top, with the trim outlining the front.
- Open over a longer tee, hem showing below.
- Sleeves pushed up so the contrast cuffs stay visible.

Before you order
How do I keep the ivory clean? Wash cold and separately from anything dark, particularly for the first few washes — contrast trim means two yarns in one garment, and one can bleed into the other.
Are the sleeves really 30 inches? They run long by design. If you like a cuff pushed up, you'll have plenty to work with.
Buttoned or open? Both work, but the trim is more visible open, where it outlines the full front opening.
