A striped knit cardigan with buttons down the front, cut short and wide. Four colors: blue, khaki, red, and yellow.
Read the proportions first
This one is cropped and oversized at the same time, and the numbers make that clear: the body runs 20.9" to 22.6" from the shoulder — several inches shorter than a standard cardigan — while the bust runs 46.1" to 51.6", which is wide even at the small.
The result is a boxy, cropped shape that ends at or near the natural waist. It's a good proportion over a high waist and the wrong one if you want a cardigan that covers your hips.
Buttoned or open, two different garments
Fastened all the way, this is a striped sweater with a neat button placket. Open, it's a layer with a strong vertical line down each side of the front — which is the more flattering of the two, and the reason button-down cardigans have outlasted every trend that's tried to replace them.
The details
- Full button placket from neck to hem.
- Ribbed, lightweight knit with a slight stretch.
- Cropped and boxy — see the measurements above.
- Four colorways: blue, khaki, red, yellow.
- Sizes S through XL.
How to wear it
- Over high-waisted jeans or wide-leg trousers — a crop needs a high waist beneath it.
- Buttoned and tucked at the front, worn as the top.
- Open over a longer tee, with the hem showing below.
- The red or yellow with denim; the khaki or blue with almost anything.

Good to know
Will sizing up make it longer? Barely — the length grows under two inches across the whole run. Sizing up gets you width, not coverage.
Which color is most versatile? Khaki and blue layer over the most. Red and yellow are the ones that make the outfit.
How do I wash a striped knit? Cold water, always. That's what stops the lighter stripe picking up dye from the darker one.
