Frill Detail Button Up Cardigan

A frill hem that runs all the way around the waist gives this cardigan its defining shape - fitted through the body, then flaring out with a soft ruffle that sits just below the hip. Matching frill trim at the cuffs ties the detail together, making the design feel considered rather than decorative. A full-length button placket runs down the centre front, with each button looped through a small fabric trim that adds a dainty, tactile finish. The round neckline keeps the silhouette clean and classic, letting the frill detailing do the talking without competing elements. Sits cropped enough to work tucked or untucked, with the peplum hem creating natural definition without being structured. A cardigan that earns its place beyond the usual layering role. The frill hem gives it enough character to anchor a weekend outfit on its own - worn over straight-leg jeans and Mary Jane flats, as styled here, it reads put-together without any effort. The fitted knit body and peplum cut work particularly well with high-waisted denim, letting the ruffle sit at just the right point to add shape. For a family gathering or a casual lunch out, it pairs neatly with a midi skirt and ballet pumps, or keeps things relaxed over wide-leg trousers. Button it all the way up for a neater, more polished day look, or leave the top two open for something a little more relaxed. The frill cuffs add a finishing touch that makes this feel like more than a basic layer - it's the piece that makes a simple outfit look like it was actually planned.
