Product Insights
The Contemporaine Adjustable Ruched Waist Sweater, priced at 49 CAD and half the sale price of Target's ruched-waist knit top at $19.99 CAD, offers a custom hourglass fit via side drawstrings that toggle between an oversized blouson and cinched silhouette. Its 58% acrylic/42% nylon blend reduces pilling, resists wrinkles and color fading, and provides wool-like warmth and softness without itch, but requires hand washing and flat drying to preserve the drawstrings and fine knit. Exclusively available at Simons in Canada, it carries Contemporaine's curated Canadian cachet.
