Lightweight Cardigans

Fine-gauge button-downs for transitional weather and everyday layering.

Collection Insights & Styling Notes

Navigate changing temperatures with our lightweight cardigans. These fine-gauge sweaters are knit tightly to provide warmth without the heavy, restrictive bulk of winter wools. A thin, button-down cardigan is a necessity for overly air-conditioned offices or breezy spring evenings. Because the knit is fine and smooth, these cardigans can easily be layered underneath a trench coat or heavier outerwear without causing the sleeves to feel tight.

How do you wear a cardigan without looking frumpy?

Avoid oversized, slouchy cardigans if you want a polished look. Opt for a fitted, cropped cardigan that hits right at the waistline of your pants, and wear it fully buttoned as a standalone shirt.

What is a fine-gauge knit?

Gauge refers to the number of stitches per inch in a knitted garment. A fine-gauge knit has many small, tightly packed stitches, resulting in a thin, smooth, and lightweight sweater fabric.

How do you fix a stretched-out cardigan sweater?

Soak the stretched areas (usually the cuffs or hem) in warm water. Gently push the fibers back into their original shape and lay the sweater flat to dry on a towel.
