Petite Malibu Kissing Front V-Neck Long Sleeve Cardigan

color
DUTCH BLUE
size

A long sleeve open-front cardigan cut to petite proportions, with a kissing front closure that aligns the panels edge to edge and a V-neckline that sits at a flattering depth above the collarbone. The kind of piece that goes over a collared shirt for a morning of back-to-back meetings without adding bulk or weight to the silhouette. Patch pockets sit at the high hip, adding a low-key practical detail to an otherwise clean front.

  • Polyester-viscose knit, lightweight with a smooth, fluid surface
  • Kissing front closure, panels meet edge to edge without overlap
  • V-neckline, sits above the collarbone at a moderate depth
  • Patch pockets with small button detail at each pocket corner, positioned at the high hip

Why It Works

Cut to petite scale with a kissing front that lies flat and a silhouette that does not overwhelm a smaller frame.

  • The kissing front closure aligns panels flush without overlapping, so the cardigan reads clean whether worn open or closed.
  • Proportioned specifically for petite builds, the hem and sleeve length hit at points that work with the scale of a shorter frame rather than fighting it.
  • The lightweight polyester-viscose knit layers over collared shirts and blouses without adding visible bulk under a jacket or at the shoulder.

Use Cases

  • Layering over a blouse for a morning of back-to-back meetings
  • Client lunch where a jacket feels too formal
  • Weekend brunch with slim trousers or jeans
  • Travel days that move between air-conditioned offices and warmer outdoor temperatures

Compatibility

  • Pairs With: Collared button-down blouse, Slim-fit trousers, Petite ponte pants, Structured shoulder bag
  • Outfit Contexts: Morning client meeting, Office lunch with colleagues, Weekend brunch

Fit Logic

  • Silhouette: Relaxed open-front cardigan with a straight, slightly boxy body through the torso, hitting at or just below the high hip. The front panels fall cleanly without draping open too wide, and the sleeves are full-length cut to petite arm proportions.
  • Best For: Petite frames who find standard cardigans run long in the sleeve and hem. Works well layered over fitted or semi-fitted tops where extra volume at the torso is not needed.
  • Styling Tip: Layer over a slim-fit collared blouse and tuck the blouse at the front only to define the waist without losing the relaxed silhouette of the cardigan.

Care Notes

  • Fabric: 62% Polyester, 38% Viscose
  • Washing: Hand wash cold
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry to retain shape
  • Ironing: Low heat if needed, or steam lightly
  • Special Notes: Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric to preserve the fluid knit surface

Does the cardigan have buttons or does it stay open?

The cardigan has a kissing front closure, meaning the front panels meet edge to edge without overlapping. There are no buttons running down the center front, so it can be worn open or held in place naturally by the knit tension. The patch pockets each have a small decorative button at the corner.

How does this fit compared to a standard size cardigan?

This cardigan is cut specifically for petite proportions, so the sleeve length, shoulder width, and overall body length are scaled to fit a shorter frame without needing alterations. If you typically find standard cardigans too long in the sleeve or hem, the petite cut should resolve that.

Is this cardigan suitable for the office or is it more casual?

The clean kissing front closure and refined V-neckline make it appropriate for professional settings. It layers well over collared blouses and sits neatly without looking bulky. The patch pockets add a casual touch, so it reads as smart-casual rather than strictly formal.
