CELIA | Striped cardigan cut to hang open

One size usually means it fits nobody. This one is cut to be worn open, so it actually works.

One size is a phrase that has disappointed most women at least once. It normally means a shape drafted for someone in the middle and left too tight at one end and shapeless at the other. The exception is a garment designed from the start to hang open rather than to close around you, because then the fit is at the shoulders and nowhere else. Celia is that exception.

It is a cardigan in a soft cashmere blend that drapes rather than holds a shape, worn open over whatever is underneath. Buttons run the front if you want it closed, and the neckline is a crew that sits snug at the throat. The stripes are worked in a retro pattern across the body. Because the fabric falls rather than fits, a range of sizes wear it the same way, which is what makes the single size honest here rather than a shortcut.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• It is designed to hang open. The fit is at the shoulder and the rest drapes, which is the only way a single size genuinely works.
• A cashmere blend, so it falls softly. The yarn has the weight to drape rather than stand away from the body.
• Buttons if you want them. Open for the drape, closed for the warmth, in the same garment.
• Retro stripes on a crew neck. The pattern gives a plain cardigan something to say without a print.

How it fits

This comes in one size only, so there is no size chart for it and nothing to choose between. It is drafted to be worn open and drapes from the shoulder, which suits a broad range of builds. If you are at either end of the range, or you want to wear it buttoned rather than open, measure the shoulders and chest against a cardigan you already own before ordering. Returns are covered below.

30 days to change your mind

Try it open and buttoned, because it fits differently each way. If it is not right, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. No restocking fee and no conditions attached.

I am usually a 2XL and normally skip one size items. This one hangs right on me. Hulda K., Tempe

Softer than I expected for the price. It has the fall of a proper cashmere mix. Ina R., Henderson
