Relaxed, boxy silhouette cut with extra room through the body - sits comfortably over a bump without pulling or stretching out of shape. Deep V-neckline with a neat button placket running the full length of the front, making it easy to layer open or wear fully fastened. Two patch pockets sit low on the front - practical enough to actually use, and they add a casual, unfussy look to the overall shape. Ribbed cuffs and hem give the cardigan its structure, keeping the sleeves neatly in place and the hemline from riding up as the bump grows. The acrylic and nylon knit has a soft, slightly brushed hand feel that holds its shape wash after wash without going bobbly or stiff. The boxy cut does the heavy lifting here - it skims rather than clings, sitting away from the body in a way that works at every stage of pregnancy and carries on long after. The soft knit drapes gently over the bump with no awkward bunching, and the length hits at just the right point to layer over longer tops without adding bulk. The model pairs it with wide-leg tailored trousers, which is exactly the right move - the relaxed proportions of both pieces balance each other out for a put-together, effortless look. It works just as well thrown over a longline vest and leggings for a low-key day out, or buttoned up over a midi dress for a family gathering or baby shower. A cardigan that earns its keep across the whole of the maternity wardrobe.
