A structured button-front layer that defines the waist
Use this oversized cardigan when you want a knit layer with a waist-defining hourglass shape, per Filippa K's stylistic description. It buttons down the front over a plunging V-neck, with drop shoulders, long sleeves, and stretch ribbed edging on a soft, stretchy viscose and recycled polyester blend. As shown on a model, it falls from mid-chest to the upper thighs.[2,3]
An easy open-front layer for dressed-up everyday looks
In the brand's product imagery, this cardigan is styled worn open at the neckline, layered over an outfit of dark trousers and black slip-on shoes. It's a natural pick when you want a simple, put-together look built around a knit layer rather than a jacket.[4]
Finding Your Fit with the Brand's Body-Measurement Size Chart
When choosing a size for this Milano Knit Hourglass Cardigan, Filippa K's size chart refers to body measurements, so the brand recommends using a measurement tape on your own body — chest at the widest point of the bust and waist at the smallest point of the waist. The cardigan is listed in X-Small through Large, and the brand's product page shows the model, who is 5 feet 9 inches, wearing a size 36 / Small as a fit reference.[1,2]
Caring for your Milano Knit Hourglass Cardigan
Filippa K specifies handwashing this cardigan cold, reshaping it while damp, and laying it flat to dry, with no bleach or tumble drying. The care instructions also call for low-heat ironing or gentle dry cleaning using PCE, so it suits shoppers willing to follow delicate-knit upkeep to keep the piece in good shape.[1]
