Fit Tips:

• Slim Fit Means: This cardigan is designed to follow your body's contours without excess fabric. It's not skin-tight, but creates a tailored, streamlined appearance rather than an oversized or relaxed fit.
• Layering Consideration: If you plan to layer this over thicker tops like sweaters or hoodies, consider sizing up to ensure comfortable room.
• Short Length: The cropped design hits around the hip area, making it ideal for high-waisted pants, skirts, and creating balanced proportions when worn over dresses.
• Asian Sizing Reminder: Due to the smaller Asian sizing scale, your usual US size letter will likely need to be adjusted. Many customers find ordering 1-2 sizes larger provides the best fit.
• When in Doubt: Choose the larger size, especially given the slim-fit design. The lightweight fabric drapes well even with a slightly roomier fit.

• Shawl Collar Design: The signature shawl collar creates a soft, draped neckline that adds elegant detail without fussiness. This classic collar style frames the face beautifully and can be worn open or wrapped for different looks.
• Material Composition: Crafted from 100% polyester, a synthetic fiber known for durability, wrinkle resistance, and easy care. This practical fabric choice ensures the cardigan maintains its shape and appearance wash after wash.
• Fabric Feel: Lightweight and thin with a smooth, soft hand feel. The polyester construction creates a fabric that drapes nicely without clinging, has a subtle sheen for a polished appearance, and feels comfortable against the skin. Despite being thin, the fabric provides adequate coverage without sheerness. Expect no stretch or minimal stretch—the slim fit comes from tailored construction rather than elasticity.
• Short Cropped Length: The abbreviated hem length hits at or just below the natural waistline, creating modern proportions that work especially well with high-waisted bottoms and won't overwhelm petite frames.
• Slim Fit Construction: Tailored to follow the body's natural lines with minimal excess fabric, creating a streamlined silhouette that layers beautifully under jackets or over fitted tops without adding bulk.
• Japanese-Korean Aesthetic: Inspired by minimalist Asian fashion sensibilities with clean lines, understated elegance, and versatile solid colors that emphasize quality over embellishment.
• Six Color Options: Choose from timeless White and Black, soft feminine Pink, bold statement Red, refreshing Lake Blue, or rich Sapphire Blue to match your personal style and existing wardrobe.
• Stretch: Minimal to no stretch. The slim fit is achieved through tailored cutting and construction rather than elastic fibers, so the garment maintains its structured shape throughout wear.
• Opacity: The lightweight polyester fabric is opaque and provides appropriate coverage. You won't need to worry about undergarments showing through.
• Care Instructions: Machine wash cold with like colors on gentle cycle. Polyester is naturally wrinkle-resistant, making care simple. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry—the fabric dries quickly. Remove promptly to prevent creasing. If needed, iron on low heat or use a steamer. Do not bleach. The easy-care nature of polyester means this cardigan is ready to wear with minimal effort. Imported.

Styling Q&A

Q: How long does shipping take?

A: This item qualifies for standard delivery and typically arrives in 7-12 business days within the USA.

Q: What's the difference between the blue color options?

Both are beautiful—choose based on your color preferences and existing wardrobe palette.

Q: Will this cardigan work for petite heights?

A: Yes! The short, cropped length is actually ideal for petite frames because it won't overwhelm your proportions.
