Why It Works
Contrast tipping and a clean open front give this cardigan the polish of a structured layer with none of the stiffness.
- Ivory contrast tipping at the front placket and cuffs creates a defined, tailored edge that reads more intentional than a standard open cardigan
- The relaxed plus-size fit layers cleanly over blouses, tanks, or shells without pulling or bunching across the back
- Black ground with white tipping means it pairs with nearly every bottom in a professional wardrobe without requiring a color decision

Fit Logic
- Silhouette: Relaxed open-front silhouette with a straight body that falls to the high hip; no closure, drapes open at the front with a clean vertical line from shoulder to hem
- Best For: Plus size figures looking for a polished layer that doesn't add visual bulk; works well over fitted or semi-fitted tops
- Styling Tip: Layer over a white ribbed shell and tuck the shell into tailored trousers to let the tipping frame the neckline cleanly
