Sleeves are designed to hit at the wrist for classic long-sleeve coverage.

Fit Tips:
- The bust measurement is taken across the garment when laid flat—this cardigan has a relaxed fit with room for layering over blouses or tees
- Sleeve length is measured from shoulder seam to cuff; long sleeves designed to hit at wrist bone
- Length measurement is from shoulder to hem; this falls at hip level for most heights
- Knit fabric has natural stretch, so measurements accommodate slight variance
- Please allow 1-3cm measurement difference due to manual manufacturing and fabric stretch
- For the best layering fit, ensure bust measurement is at least 4-6cm larger than your actual bust measurement
- When in doubt between two sizes, size up for comfortable layering and the intended relaxed fit
Features & Fabric
- Key Features: Classic V-neckline flatters the décolletage and creates vertical lengthening; single-breasted button-front closure runs full length for versatile styling; sophisticated leopard print adds visual interest without overwhelming; jacquard knitting technique creates dimensional texture; ribbed cuffs and hem provide structure and help maintain shape; functional buttons allow for adjustable styling
- Material Composition: Acrylic fiber knit construction offers the softness and warmth of natural fibers with superior durability and easy-care properties
- Fabric Feel: Soft, plush acrylic knit with a smooth hand feel that's comfortable against skin. The fabric has a medium weight that provides warmth without bulk, making it perfect for layering. The jacquard construction adds subtle texture and dimension to the leopard print pattern. The knit has natural give and recovery, moving with you throughout the day while maintaining its shape.
- Jacquard Technique: The leopard print is created through jacquard knitting, a specialized technique that knits the pattern directly into the fabric rather than printing it on top. This creates superior quality, dimension, and durability—the pattern won't fade or peel with washing.
- Stretch: Moderate stretch inherent to knit construction—provides comfortable ease of movement and recovery without becoming baggy or losing shape
- Opacity: Fully opaque knit—no undershirt required, though often styled over blouses or tees as a layering piece
- Care Instructions: Hand wash cold with mild detergent to preserve the knit structure and jacquard pattern. Lay flat to dry to prevent stretching and maintain shape. Do not wring or twist. Do not bleach. Cool iron on reverse side if needed, avoiding direct contact with the pattern. Store folded rather than hung to prevent shoulder stretching. Imported.
How to Style
This leopard print cardigan is your secret weapon for adding personality to professional and casual outfits alike. The refined jacquard knit pattern reads as sophisticated rather than bold, making it office-appropriate while still showing your personal style. The versatile button-front design means you can wear it multiple ways—fully buttoned as a sweater, open as a classic cardigan, or half-buttoned for a relaxed vibe. The V-neckline elongates your silhouette and pairs beautifully with everything from collared shirts to simple tees.
Complete Outfit Ideas
- Polished Office Look: Button the cardigan fully and pair with black trousers and a tucked white button-down shirt (leave the cardigan unbuttoned at top to show the collar). Add pointed-toe flats or low block heels, simple gold jewelry, and a structured tote bag. The leopard print adds interest to your work wardrobe without crossing professional boundaries.
- Business Casual Friday: Wear the apricot cardigan open over a black turtleneck or mock-neck top with dark wash jeans. Add ankle boots, a leather belt, and a crossbody bag. Roll the sleeves slightly for a relaxed feel. Perfect for casual Fridays or client meetings in creative industries.
- Weekend Chic: Style the gray version over a simple white tee with high-waist jeans or trousers. Leave it unbuttoned, add white sneakers, minimal jewelry, and a tote or bucket bag. Throw your hair in a messy bun for effortless weekend style that's comfortable but put-together.
- Layered Sophistication: Wear the black cardigan over a midi slip dress or shift dress with tights and ankle boots. Add a long pendant necklace and a structured handbag. This creates an elegant layered look perfect for dinner, date nights, or evening events in cooler weather.
- Smart Casual Layers: Button it halfway and pair with a silk camisole or tank top underneath, tucked into a pencil skirt or A-line midi skirt. Add nude or black pumps, statement earrings, and a sleek handbag. The half-button styling shows the layered top while keeping the look polished and intentional.
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: Is leopard print appropriate for professional office settings?
- A: Absolutely! This leopard print is created through sophisticated jacquard knitting, giving it a refined, textured appearance rather than a bold graphic look. The neutral color options (gray, black, apricot) keep it professional. It's perfect for business casual environments and industries with creative dress codes. If your office is very conservative, opt for the gray or apricot for a subtler approach.
- Q: What should I order if I'm normally a US size medium?
- A: Since this follows Asian sizing which runs 1-2 sizes smaller, if you're a US medium (size 8-10), we recommend ordering the L or XL depending on how you prefer your cardigans to fit. Check the bust measurements in the size chart—you'll want at least 4-6cm of ease beyond your actual bust measurement for comfortable layering.
- Q: Can I machine wash this cardigan or is hand washing required?
- A: We recommend hand washing to preserve the jacquard knit structure and extend the life of your cardigan. However, if you must machine wash, use a gentle cycle in a mesh garment bag with cold water. Always lay flat to dry—never hang wet knits as this can cause stretching and distortion.
- Q: Does this cardigan shed or pill?
- A: Acrylic fiber is naturally resistant to pilling compared to some natural fibers. With proper care (hand washing, laying flat to dry, storing folded), this cardigan should maintain its appearance well. Any minor pilling that occurs can be gently removed with a fabric shaver.
- Q: Which color is most versatile?
- A: All three colors are intentionally neutral. Black is the most classic and pairs with everything; gray offers softness and works beautifully in both warm and cool-toned outfits; apricot (warm beige) adds warmth and pairs especially well with earth tones, denim, and autumn palettes. Choose based on your existing wardrobe—black and gray work with more color palettes, while apricot is perfect if you wear a lot of warm neutrals.
- Q: How warm is this sweater—can I wear it as outerwear or is it just a layering piece?
- A: This is a medium-weight cardigan designed primarily as a layering piece over shirts, tees, or dresses. It provides moderate warmth suitable for air-conditioned offices, early fall weather, or spring evenings. For true cold weather, you'd want to layer it under a coat or jacket rather than wear it as your only outer layer.
