Product Insights

The Versace Golden Buttons Polo-Collar Cardigan blends luxury heritage with practicality: its 57% silk and 43% cotton knit offers a smooth, cool hand and breathable, odor-resistant layering, while gold-plated brass Medusa buttons—embossed with the unchanged 1978 logo—provide a subtler brand signifier. The non-stretch body demands accurate sizing (size up if chest borders a size), compensated by ribbed trims with 1% elastane for shape retention. At 72% off the original price, this out-of-stock piece is the cheapest available listing, effectively replacing a blazer for transitional occasions.

Verified claims

Button design
Gold-plated brass embossed Medusa buttons are lighter, subtler, and securely attached.
Medusa motif
Medusa motif on buttons is Versace's unchanged 1978 logo, inspired by founder Gianni's childhood.
Hand feel
Smooth, cool hand and soft drape in a featherlight, packable knit comparable in weight to a luxurious tee rather than a chunky sweater.
Breathability
Odor-resistant silk-cotton knit, ideal for transitional layering.
Care
This silk-cotton cardigan may be cleaned with water or dry cleaning, but the inner label should confirm the method.
Stretch
Trims retain shape with 1% elastane; body has none—size accurately.
Fit
Non-stretch body; size up if chest measurement borders a size per Versace chest chart (IT 46–52).
Ribbed trim
Ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem contain 1% elastane for stretch and shape recovery.
Durability
Ribbed trims retain shape due to elastane; buttons are securely attached.
Price comparison
72% off ($479.95) makes it the cheapest available listing for this Versace cardigan.
Material
Main material (57% silk, 43% cotton) gives a smooth, hypoallergenic feel; trim includes 1% elastane for stretch recovery.
Occasion versatility
Can stand in for a light blazer at dinner and layers for summer-to-fall.
Medusa emblem
Medusa head logo, unchanged since 1978, was inspired by Gianni Versace's childhood in Reggio Calabria.
Embossed buttons
Gold embossed Medusa buttons are a subtler alternative to Versace's enamel versions.
Button care
Cover or wrap the embossed Medusa-head buttons before hand washing or dry cleaning to prevent scuffs.
Size assortment
Simons ordered this cardigan only in SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, and X-LARGE (IT 46/S, 48/M, 50/L, 52/XL); buyers needing XS or sizes above 2XL must purchase from Versace or other multibrand retailers.
Skin comfort
The silk component gives the knit natural hypoallergenic and antibacterial qualities that reduce skin irritation and resist odor.

Uses

A relaxed buttoned knit for jeans days

Style the Versace polo-collar cardigan fully buttoned as a knit top over dark or washed-black jeans, the way it's shown on the model. The relaxed straight fit, ribbed cuffs and wide ribbed hem give it a casual, pulled-together look, while the polo collar sits folded down in a narrow band. As worn on the model, the knit falls smoothly with soft folds at the elbows and near the lower back.[2,3,4]

Golden Buttons Polo-Collar Cardigan: Choose this if you want a lightweight, fitted cardigan in a soft silk-and-cotton blend (57% silk, 43% cotton) with a fine-ribbed polo collar, ribbed hem and cuffs, and round gold-tone buttons embossed with Versace's Medusa head. It's a solid red, made in Italy with a small logo label at the lower front, and it's described by the brand as distilling simple refinement—a polished layer for dressing up everyday outfits. Note that it's offered in sizes from small to extra-large, and the fitted cut and gathered ribbed cuffs suit those comfortable with a closer-to-body silhouette.[1,2,4,5]Triangular Jacquard Short-Sleeve Sweater: Choose this if you want a lightweight, short-sleeve cotton knit for statement wear: it's a 100% cotton piece made in Italy, with an all-over two-tone triangular jacquard, solid navy ribbed crew neck, cuffs and hem, a gold-tone logo at the back, and a regular, straight-cut fit intended to be worn solo or under a jacket. It comes in sizes SMALL to X-LARGE. Note the trim (77% cotton, 20% polyamide, 3% spandex) differs from the main fabric, and the retailer's claim that it adds pop to outfits is promotional positioning rather than a reported customer experience.[6,7,8]Greca Bands Openwork Zip-Up Polo Shirt: Choose this if you want a retro-styled designer knit polo made in Italy from luxurious openwork 100% cotton, with a zip-up collar with a golden pull, an embroidered chest pocket, ribbed edging, and side Greca-pattern bands positioned like suspenders. Simons describes the look as joyfully retro with city chic, and the slim, close-to-body fit with short sleeves suits untucked wear. Note that the openwork knit appears semi-sheer, with skin faintly visible through the perforated ribs in product photos, which may matter for how and when you wear it.[9,10,11]
