Button-Front Knit Cardigan

A cropped, fitted cardigan with a short stand collar and a full row of pearl-and-gold statement buttons running from the ribbed hem to the collar. Twin flap pockets sit at the chest for a structured, blazer-like finish, and the fitted body stops right at the waist, giving it more of a tailored jacket silhouette than a soft, slouchy cardigan. The close fit through the torso and structured collar mean it holds its shape whether worn buttoned up as a top layer or open over a camisole. Style it buttoned over trousers for a polished, jacket-like look, or wear it open over a slip dress for something softer.

Fine, fitted knit with enough structure to hold the stand collar and flap pockets without curling. Hand wash cold or use a gentle wool cycle inside a mesh bag, and lay flat to dry so the ribbed waist hem doesn't stretch out under its own weight. Do the buttons up before washing to keep the placket aligned and stop the pearl-and-gold buttons from catching on the mesh bag, and avoid ironing directly over them — a cloth barrier or steaming from a distance protects the finish. With care, the fitted knit keeps its structure through repeated wears rather than softening into a looser shape.

The cropped, fitted cut uses a shorter body panel and narrower sleeve than an oversized cardigan, and the flap pockets are knit flat rather than added as a separate sewn-on piece, cutting down on extra fabric and stitching. Its tailored, jacket-like styling also means it can substitute for a blazer in a capsule wardrobe, reducing the need for a separate structured layering piece.
