Why It Works
Contrast tipping gives a plain black cardigan a finished, intentional look that reads polished without effort.
- Cream contrast tipping along the front placket, cuffs, and hem adds visual structure without pattern, making the cardigan look deliberately styled rather than basic.
- The open-front silhouette and medium-weight knit layer cleanly over a turtleneck or blouse for a full day of meetings without adding bulk.
- Sized for petite frames, the proportions hit correctly at the hip and sleeve length rather than requiring alterations.

Fit Logic
- Silhouette: Open-front, relaxed-through-body cardigan that skims rather than fits close; falls at the high hip on a petite frame with a clean shoulder line and straight hem
- Best For: Petite frames, 5'4" and under; the proportions are calibrated so the hem and sleeve length land correctly without hemming
- Styling Tip: Layer over a fitted cream or ivory turtleneck to echo the contrast tipping and create a tonal, pulled-together look from a single color palette
Care Notes
- Fabric: 60% Polyester, 38% Viscose, 2% Other Fiber
- Washing: Dry clean only
- Drying: Do not machine dry — dry clean process only
- Ironing: Not recommended without professional finishing; the smooth knit surface can be distorted by direct heat
- Special Notes: Professional dry cleaning preserves the contrast tipping and maintains the shape of the knit at the shoulder and hem
