Ashtyn Cardigan
Astr The Label - $64
This heavyweight argyle cardigan leans into an academic, mid-century silhouette with a boxy, dropped-shoulder fit and substantial ribbed trim. The knit features a tactile, fuzzy hand-feel that softens the geometric pattern, while the V-neck remains deep enough to layer over a button-down or wear buttoned as a standalone top. It’s a grounded, heritage-inspired piece that functions best when paired with contrasting textures like leather or crisp cotton.
Safety Rating: Lowest
Analysis: The garment is composed primarily of polyester and nylon, both petroleum-based plastics with poor breathability and high potential for microplastic shedding. The inclusion of elastane and the "dry clean only" requirement further suggest a synthetic-heavy construction that lacks natural moisture-wicking properties.
