Soft Knit Wrap Detail Cardigan - oatmeal

Wrap-front construction crosses at the chest and secures with a self-tie belt at the waist, so the fit adjusts to you rather than the other way around. The deep V-neckline sits open without gaping, held neatly in place by the overlapping knit panels. Soft, textured ribbed knit gives the cardigan a cosy, slightly fluffy hand-feel that drapes close to the body through the torso and relaxes through the sleeves. Long sleeves with a gently bloused shape through the upper arm taper slightly at the wrist, giving the silhouette a considered finish rather than a boxy one. The tie belt can be knotted at the front or wrapped to the back - either way, it nips the waist and keeps the wrap in place throughout the day. This cardigan slots into a wardrobe as the piece that makes an outfit feel put-together without any extra effort. The wrap silhouette does the work - it defines the waist on its own, which means it pairs just as well with wide-leg trousers as it does with straight-cut jeans. The model wears it with washed-out wide-leg cargo trousers, and that balance of relaxed bottom, defined top works really well. For a casual weekend look, keep it with trainers and a simple tote. It also layers neatly over a fitted long-sleeve top when the temperature drops, with the V-neck still visible and the tie sitting cleanly over whatever is underneath. A brunch with friends, a low-key family gathering, or a day out where you want to look considered but comfortable - this cardigan handles all of it without needing to be dressed up or down too deliberately.
