Layering & Fit Notes

This cardigan is designed to layer easily over tanks, tees, and dresses without adding bulk. There's generous room through the bust, arms, and shoulders for an easy, unrestricted layer, and the hip-length hem keeps the silhouette streamlined rather than boxy.

Who It's Great For

• Circle Shapes: The open front creates a long vertical line that elongates the torso, while the soft knit skims rather than clings.
• Triangle Shapes: The relaxed shoulders and short sleeves balance a fuller hip, drawing the eye upward.
• Hourglass Shapes: Worn open, this cardigan layers beautifully without hiding your natural waistline.
• Rectangle Shapes: The open, draped front adds shape and dimension to a straighter frame.
• Inverted Triangle Shapes: The lightweight fabric and open styling keep the shoulder line soft rather than adding bulk up top.

Remember: These are styling suggestions, not rules. The best outfit is always the one that makes you feel confident.
