Product Insights
Twik's Heart Buttons Cardigan, an affordable $69 entry into Simons' in-house heritage line since 1952, is exclusively designed in Canada and defined by its heavy polished metallic heart buttons—solid, jewelry-like, and securely stitched, unlike competitors' versions. Its regular fit with ribbed edging contrasts with oversized trends, while the 60% reprocessed cotton/40% acrylic blend reduces water usage by up to 90%, softens after washing, resists pilling, and retains shape for lasting wear. This lightweight to medium-weight knit layers neatly under jackets without bulk, but the cardigan is currently out of stock, reflecting a confirmed micro-trend across retailers.

A polished layer for office-to-weekend outfits
Per reviewer summaries, this fitted cardigan works under blazers or worn alone for a polished casual look, with wearers describing it as easy to dress up or down. The cut is intentionally slim rather than oversized, so it suits a tailored layered silhouette. One caveat: several reviewers found the small heart-shaped buttons tricky to fasten, requiring more effort than standard buttons.[2]
A romantic touch for date night or brunch
For a date night or brunch outfit, reviewers describe this Twik cardigan's heart buttons as a cute detail that adds a romantic, put-together touch. They also call its shades, including slate blue, beautiful.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Heart Buttons Cardigan: Choose this if you want a polished, true-to-size layering piece for the office or a casual weekend look — reviewers describe a slim, tailored cut that skims the body (not an oversized fit) and a soft, substantial knit in acrylic and reprocessed cotton. Its shiny gold heart-shaped buttons are the signature detail, praised by some as cute and romantic, though several report they are tricky and slow to fasten. If you are eyeing the red colorway, note that reviewers say it can read orange-red in person rather than a true blue-red.[1,2,3] | Three Bows Ribbed Cardigan: Choose this if you want a cropped, boxy layering piece for transitional weather — reviewers say its soft, lightweight ribbed knit in a recycled cotton blend wears comfortably without bulk or overheating, and that the straight hem above the waist flatters high-waisted jeans and skirts while fitting true to size. Three self-fabric bows tie down the open front, and buyers praise the vibrant shades, though one reviewer found the large bows irritating over extended wear and another reported immediate pilling, and the sleeves may run long.[4,5,6,7] | Horn Buttons Sailor Collar Cardigan: Choose this if you want a soft knit cardigan with a wide sailor collar and four large triangular tortoiseshell horn buttons down the front. Its boxy, slightly cropped silhouette has dropped shoulders, long sleeves, and ribbed hem and cuffs, in a fine-gauge blend of 60% reprocessed cotton and 40% acrylic. Note that the extended ribbed cuffs partially covered the model's hands in the photos, which may not suit everyone, and it comes in Ivory/Cream Beige, Indigo/Dark Blue, and Red in sizes X-Small through X-Large.[8,9,10] |

This light-slate blue cardigan is very well-made. The attention to details, like the buttons, is Simon’s at its best. The style is classic. This cardigan fits well, feels wonderful & is a staple of any wardrobe. Highly recommend!

Cardigan w/heart buttons
Very nice sweater. Fitted rather than loose, but fits true to size. I am returning only bc the red is not the “blue-red” shade I was looking for.
