This cardigan features a loose, relaxed fit designed to drape elegantly over your body without clinging. The bat/dolman sleeve style creates a flowy, effortless silhouette with extra room through the shoulders and arms.

Fit Tips:
- Bust Measurement is Key: The bust measurement listed represents the cardigan's width when laid flat. Since this is designed to be loose and worn open, choose based on your preference for how oversized you want the fit.
- Length Consideration: The cardigan measures 28-33.5 inches long depending on size. On most heights, this hits right at hip level, providing coverage without being too long. If you're petite (under 5'3"), expect it to hit slightly lower; if you're tall (over 5'8"), it may sit just above the hip.
- Sleeve Style: Bat/dolman sleeves are cut in one piece with the body, creating extra room and a draped effect. The three-quarter length sleeve typically hits mid-forearm, making it perfect for year-round wear.
- For a Cozy Oversized Look: If you love the oversized cardigan trend, size up two sizes for extra drape and that effortlessly chic vibe.
- Between Sizes? Always size up. The loose fit is forgiving, and it's better to have extra room for layering than a cardigan that feels snug across the shoulders.
Features & Fabric
- Key Features: Open-front cardigan with no closures (buttons or zippers) for effortless layering; distinctive waffle knit texture adds visual interest and dimension; bat/dolman sleeve design creates a relaxed, flowing silhouette; flattering V-neckline elongates the neck and works with any outfit underneath; medium hip-length provides coverage without overwhelming your frame.
- Material Composition: 71-80% Polyester, 10-29% Cotton blend with cotton lining. This blend combines the durability and easy-care properties of polyester with the soft, breathable comfort of cotton.
- Fabric Feel: The waffle knit construction creates a textured, slightly raised pattern that feels cozy and substantial without being heavy. The polyester-cotton blend is soft against the skin with a pleasant drape. The fabric has a light to medium weight—warm enough for layering in cool weather but breathable enough to wear in air-conditioned spaces. The cotton lining adds an extra layer of softness and comfort.
- Stretch: Moderate stretch in the fabric allows for comfortable movement and accommodates layering underneath. The loose cut means you don't rely heavily on stretch for fit.
- Texture Detail: Waffle knit (also called thermal knit) features a distinctive grid pattern with raised squares that create depth and visual texture. This construction also traps tiny air pockets, adding slight insulation while maintaining breathability.
- Opacity: Fully opaque; you won't see through the fabric. The waffle texture and lining ensure complete coverage.
- Care Instructions: Machine wash cold with like colors on gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry or hang dry to maintain shape—avoid tumble drying as it may cause shrinkage in the cotton content. The polyester-cotton blend is naturally wrinkle-resistant and easy to care for. Do not bleach. Low iron if needed, though typically not necessary. Imported.

This is your go-to uniform for coffee runs, grocery shopping, or casual lunch dates—easy, comfortable, and always stylish.
- Office-Ready Professional: Wear the black, dark blue, or brown cardigan over a sleeveless blouse or fitted camisole with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt. The V-neck keeps the look polished and professional. Add pointed-toe flats or low heels, a structured tote, and delicate jewelry. Keep the cardigan open for a relaxed vibe or use a thin belt at the waist for more structure.

The contrast between the flowy cardigan and fitted dress creates beautiful dimension. Add ankle boots or heeled sandals (depending on season), a small shoulder bag, and statement earrings.

Throw in a baseball cap, oversized sunglasses, and a backpack or belt bag. It's the perfect balance of sporty and put-together for running errands or post-workout coffee.
- Fall Layering Perfection: Embrace autumn vibes by layering the brown, apricot, or dark blue cardigan over a graphic tee or henley with skinny jeans and ankle boots. Add a cozy scarf in complementary colors, a felt hat, and a crossbody bag. This is your pumpkin patch, apple picking, fall festival outfit that photographs beautifully and feels amazing.
Styling Q&A
- Q: How long does shipping take?
- A: This item qualifies for standard delivery and typically arrives in 7-12 business days within the USA.
- Q: I'm confused about sizing—what size should I order?
- A: This cardigan uses Asian sizing, which runs 1-2 sizes smaller than US sizing. We recommend sizing up at least one size from your usual US size. For example, if you normally wear a US Medium, order a Large or XL. Check the bust measurement in the size chart—the cardigan is meant to be loose and flowy, so choose a size with plenty of room for the relaxed fit you want.
- Q: Does this cardigan have buttons or does it stay open?
- A: This is an open-front cardigan with no buttons, snaps, or closures. It's designed to be worn open for an effortless, relaxed look. If you prefer to close it, you can easily add a decorative brooch, belt it at the waist, or use fashion tape for a more secure closure.
- Q: How warm is this cardigan? Can I wear it in winter?
- A: The waffle knit texture provides light to moderate warmth, making it perfect for spring and fall weather, cool summer evenings, and mild winter days. It's ideal as a layering piece in air conditioning or for transitional seasons. For colder winter weather, layer it over long sleeves and under a heavier coat, or choose it for indoor wear where it provides just the right amount of cozy comfort.
- Q: What's the sleeve length exactly? Will it work for my height?
- A: The sleeves are three-quarter length (sometimes called "seven-point sleeves"), measuring approximately 20-23 inches depending on size. They typically hit between the elbow and wrist, around mid-forearm. This length is universally flattering and works for most heights—petite women will find they hit closer to the wrist, while taller women will have them slightly higher on the forearm. The bat/dolman style is cut to be loose and flowing rather than fitted, so exact placement is flexible and forgiving.
- Q: Which color is most versatile?
- A: Black, gray, and white are the most versatile neutrals that pair with virtually everything in your wardrobe. Dark blue and brown are excellent if you want a neutral with slightly more personality. For a pop of color that still works with many outfits, try apricot (a soft peachy neutral) or light blue. Pink, green, and purple are perfect if you love adding color and want to make more of a statement.
- Q: Will this cardigan pill or shed after washing?
- A: The polyester-cotton blend is designed to be durable and low-maintenance. While any fabric can pill with heavy wear and washing, you can minimize this by washing on gentle cycle, turning the cardigan inside out, and laying flat or hanging to dry (avoid the dryer). The high polyester content actually helps resist pilling better than pure cotton. With proper care, this cardigan will maintain its appearance through many wears.
