Openwork Knit Tie-Up Cropped Cardigan
This openwork knit cardigan is a cropped, fitted style with long sleeves that flare slightly at the bell-shaped cuffs, featuring a tie-cord front closure and scalloped edging along the neckline, hem, and cuffs. It is made from a soft, stretchy openwork mesh knit with a semi-sheer effect, finished in an off-white color, and can be worn tied at the front or left open. Designed as a lightweight layering piece, it provides a close fit with a waist-length hem and a V-neckline at the front.

Product Insights
The Icône Openwork Knit Tie-Up Cropped Cardigan, born from Simons' 1840 heritage and Italian knitwear manufacturing, features scalloped edges that resist curling and echo 19th-century crochet craftsmanship, a single tie cord cinching the sheer unlined openwork knit into a soft V-neck that frames the collarbone, and a machine-washable 55% cotton, 45% acrylic blend; the tradeoff is its sheerness requires layering with a top underneath, but it delivers heirloom quality and coquette trend alignment at $29.95.

Wearing it tied at the front
This cropped openwork cardigan can be worn open with its two tie cords fastened in a loose bow at center front, letting the cords hang over the chest as shown in the product photo. The fitted, above-the-waist cut and semi-sheer knit make it a layering piece for styling over a top.[1,2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Openwork Knit Tie-Up Cropped Cardigan: Choose this if you want a soft, stretch openwork knit layering piece with a cropped, fitted shape, tie-cord closure, scalloped edging, and slightly flared long sleeves with lace-like cuffs. It is made of 55% cotton and 45% acrylic in an Off White color, offered in sizes SMALL, MEDIUM, and X-LARGE. Note that the openwork mesh knit has a semi-sheer look and the hem ends above the waist as worn, so it shows skin and underlayers.[1,2] | Waves And Openwork Cropped Cardigan: Choose this if you want a lightweight, cropped boxy cardigan with a relaxed fit, made of 100% reprocessed cotton in a textured openwork stretch knit with a vertical wave pattern, scalloped hem and cuffs, crew neck, long relaxed sleeves, and small pearly buttons down the front. It suits those drawn to a semi-sheer lace-effect look, though note the fabric has semi-sheer areas where the eyelets occur. It comes in sizes X-Small through X-Large and in Ivory/Cream Beige or Grape/Dark Crimson.[3,4,5,6] | Waves And Openwork Polo Collar Cropped Cardigan: Choose this if you want a cropped, boxy short-sleeve cardigan in 100% reprocessed cotton, with a ribbed polo collar, scalloped hem and sleeve edges, and a multicolor wavy openwork knit in Navy/Midnight Blue, Pink, or Assorted from X-Small to X-Large. The full-length pearly buttons and lightweight, breathable cotton fabrication (described by reviewers as soft and eco-friendly) suit warmer-weather layering. Note that the eyelet openwork creates a semi-sheer texture with visible perforations, so the knit shows some translucency in those areas.[7,8,9,10] |
