Layering cardigan for everyday wear
A relaxed-fit wool-yak knit you can button up over a tee or shirt with the V-neck showing what's underneath, or wear on its own. The finely brushed yarn is soft with voluminous texture and a bit of stretch, and Theory positions this plush charcoal cardigan as a versatile layering piece for the wardrobe.[1,2,3]
Cold-weather layering piece
A relaxed V-neck cardigan intended for cold-weather wear, worn on its own or layered. The yarn blend includes yak fibers, which the brand describes as giving the garment a natural ability to resist extreme cold, along with wool and recycled polyamide for a soft, finely brushed knit with a hint of stretch.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Brushed Wool V-Neck Cardigan: Choose this if you want a relaxed, boxy V-neck cardigan in charcoal with a soft, finely brushed wool-yak blend (49% wool, 21% yak hair, 28% recycled polyamide, 2% elastane) that Theory says offers a hint of stretch and yak fibers' natural ability to resist extreme cold. It suits layering or wear on its own, with ribbed cuffs, hem, and tone-on-tone button closure. Note it cannot be machine washed—dry cleaning is required.[1,2] | Myhlo Textured Knit Sweater: Choose this if you want a Theory spring-collection crewneck in 100 percent cotton, with a solid dark navy bird's-eye texture that the merchant describes as giving casual elegance and a matte, densely knitted surface. It has a regular, slightly relaxed fit with a straight, slightly boxy torso, a crew neck with an over-seamed V detail, and ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem, and it is offered in sizes Small through X-Large in Black. The fabric has no visible sheen, so it suits those who prefer a matte textured knit rather than a shiny finish.[4,5,6,7,8] |
