Layered Effect Argyle Cardigan

CA$860.00CAD
In Stock

The Acne Studios Layered Effect Argyle Cardigan is a cropped, regular-fit women's knit cardigan made from a fine-gauge silk, wool, and cashmere blend, featuring a crew neckline, ribbed edging at the cuffs and hem, and a center-front placket with small round buttons. It displays two vertical panels of brown argyle diamonds with thin light-colored overlaid lines on a charcoal gray body, plus trompe-l'oeil detailing that creates a double-layered effect via a darker navy inner layer visible at the cuffs and hem and loose-thread deconstruction. A small embroidered logo sits at the back of the neck, and the garment is intended as a lightweight layering piece worn over tops or under outerwear.

Layered Effect Argyle Cardigan: Choose this if you want a cropped, fitted button-front cardigan with a deconstructed take on classic argyle — brown diamond panels on a charcoal (Slate Grey) knit, loose thread details, and trompe-l'oeil contrast layers peeking out at the sleeves and waist. It is crafted in a fine knit that the retailer characterizes as luxurious, made of 70% silk, 20% wool, and 10% cashmere, with a regular fit, crew neck, and ribbed edging. Note that the variant data lists only the Slate Grey colorway (sizes X-Small through Large), so this works only if that single dark color suits you.[1,3,4,5]Wool Faded-Effect Sweater: Choose this if you want a fine stretch wool-blend knit (78 percent wool, 22 percent polyester) with a subtle grunge look from fading and lighter faded seams, a shallow V-neck with ribbed trim, and a cropped fitted silhouette with side slits. It suits those drawn to Acne Studios' creatively worn elegance; be aware one wearer found the medium size ran a little baggy, and sizing is offered only from XX-Small to Medium.[6,7,8,9,10]Face Patch Wool Cardigan: Choose this if you want a slim-fit, crew-neck cardigan with Acne Studios' minimalist look: a luxurious yak-wool blend (85% wool, 15% yak wool) with neat finishes, a tone-on-tone Face patch at the chest, ribbed edging, and contrast buttons. Care takes some attention—Acne Studios generally recommends a gentle cold wash by hand or machine using enzyme-free detergent, washing inside out, drying flat to prevent loss of shape, and storing folded in a cool, dry place. The listed variant is Ecru/Linen in X-Small or Medium.[2,11]
