Whether teamed with linen shorts on a lazy weekend, or with a pair of plaid trousers for the daily nine-to-five, this contemporary piece makes dressing fashionably look easy.

On-trend details, such as a maxi-sized cable-knit pattern, a cropped silhouette and a wrap-style silhouette with tie closures at the hem, come together in this ecru V-neck cardigan. It will look great on its own, styled with a pair of high-waisted mom jeans and your favourite pair of white sneakers. Or, it can also be worn over a sleeveless slip dress – the tie closure allows you to cinch it tighter for a more flattering silhouette so that your overall outfit doesn’t wind up looking too shapeless.
