ANNA | Plaid knit for cool mornings

"I wore it over a plain top for a morning out and two people asked me where it was from. I had stopped expecting that from a cardigan."

Most of us have a shelf of cardigans we do not really like. The thin black one that pills after three washes, the heavy one that adds a size, the one that hangs off the shoulders like a bathrobe by ten in the morning. So we reach for them out of habit, over the same plain top, and we stop thinking of a cardigan as something anyone will notice. This one is the reason to look at that shelf again.

The knit is soft and breathable rather than thick, so it gives you real warmth without the bulk across the shoulders and upper arms that makes a sweater read heavy. The relaxed cut skims instead of clinging, which means it lies flat over a blouse, a tee or a dress without pulling anywhere, and the open front keeps a long line down the middle. The plaid does the rest: it carries enough pattern that the outfit underneath can stay simple. It machine washes cold on a gentle cycle and lays flat to dry.

Why women keep coming back to it

• Warmth without the bulk. The knit is soft and breathable rather than dense, so it takes the chill off a cool morning or an over air conditioned restaurant without adding width through the shoulders.
• It does not hang like a robe. The relaxed cut is shaped to skim rather than drape shapelessly, so it still looks deliberate at the end of the day instead of like something you threw on.
• The pattern does the work. A classic plaid means a plain top and jeans underneath is already a finished outfit, which is the whole point on a morning when you do not want to think about it.
• Four colorways, none of them black. Orange, green, red and blue, each woven into the plaid rather than printed flat, so you can have something with color in it that still goes with what you already own.

How it fits

This is a relaxed, open front cardigan, cut to be worn over something rather than close to the body. It comes in S through 3XL and runs true to size for that relaxed look. If you are between two sizes, or if you plan to wear it over a heavier sweater or a blouse with fuller sleeves, take the larger one. The size chart gives the bust and the length in inches, measured flat, so you can hold it against a cardigan you already like before you decide.

A few recent reviews

"I bought the green one for a trip and ended up wearing it four days out of six. It never looked crumpled, even out of a suitcase."
Marjorie T., Prescott

"I am 68 and I was worried the plaid would look too young for me. It does not. It reads classic, not costume."
Estelle R., Sun City

"Ordered the 2XL because I am between sizes and it was the right call. Room through the arms without looking oversized."
Bernice K., Mesa
