Polished office and smart-casual wear
The argyle pattern and elegant colors make this cardigan easy to dress up for professional or smart-casual settings, and reviewers report it draws frequent compliments. Some petite customers (around 5 feet 4 inches) find the short, boxy cut fits like a cropped cardigan rather than standard length, though some keep it for the look.[1]
Everyday casual layer with a cropped fit to know before you order
This casual, pure wool argyle cardigan works as an everyday layer, styled like the brand's image over a white crew T-shirt. Reviewers note it runs large and is shorter and boxier than typical, fitting like a cropped cardigan that hits above the hip at around 5 feet 4 inches. Shoppers between sizes may want to size down to avoid an overly oversized fit.[1,2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Casual Argyle Pure Wool Cardigan: Choose this if you want a pure wool cardigan for office or smart-casual wear: it is made of 100% responsible wool that the merchant describes as luxurious, with a V-neck, four-button front, ribbed hem and cuffs, and a large argyle pattern in burgundy, brown, and cream with thin blue stitch lines that reviewers found elegant and compliment-worthy. Its relaxed, boxy, slightly cropped silhouette suits those who like a shorter cut, but note it runs large and shorter than typical—one reviewer around 5 feet 4 inches found it hit above the hip—so buyers between sizes may want to size down.[1,2,3] | Floral Tapestry Boxy-Fit Cardigan: Choose this for an all-day comfortable layer featuring a soft, slightly fuzzy knit made from LENZING ECOVERO Viscose, which provides a structured yet relaxed boxy fit. This cardigan showcases a bold, watercolor-like floral tapestry pattern in blended tones like pale cream, dusty pink, and muted green, which may appear desaturated in person. It is suited for both dressed-down office days and casual spring wear.[4,5,6,7,8] | Contrasting Trim Striped Soft Knit Boxy Cardigan: Choose this if you want a soft, stretchy knit cardigan with a boxy, waist-length silhouette, even horizontal stripes in light beige and black, and contrasting black ribbed trim at the neckline, placket, cuffs, and hem. It buttons down the front with a crew neck and long sleeves, is made in a blend of 50% LENZING ECOVERO viscose, 28% polyester, and 22% nylon, and comes in Patterned Black, Patterned Brown, and Patterned Blue colorways in sizes X-Small through X-Large. It is an exclusive Contemporaine by Simons design made in Canada, a line positioned for chic 30- and 40-something careerists.[9,10,11,12] |

Expect compliments
Every time I wear this cardigan I receive multiple compliments. It’s beautifully made and a really nice colour combination
Beautiful sweater
I love the look of this sweater and although I’m a little sensitive to wall, I just wear something under it. It has a very classy look to it.

Magnifique mais fait large
J’aime beaucoup !
Très beau cardigan! J’adore la couleur, très élégant. Bien qu’il n’est pas annoncé comme étant un fit taille courte, il est effectivement un peu court et légèrement « boxy ». ( Je mesure 5´4 )Malgré ça, je le garde!
