Lived-In Cardigan EN
The Lived-In Cardigan is a textured, top-down saddle shoulder design that feels as cozy as your favorite sweater but polished enough to wear anywhere. Worked seamlessly from the shoulders down, it features soft structure through the yoke, graceful bishop sleeves, and a relaxed, hip-length fit. Options are included for a button band, shawl collar, pockets, and an eye-catching back detail so you can customize your cardigan to match your style.
Designed with a gender-neutral fit and styling, the Lived-In Cardigan works beautifully for all bodies and is offered in inclusive sizes from 28–66” (actual chest measurement, finished measurements include 4” positive ease).
