August Button Up Cardigan

This midweight cream knit centers on a high, wide ribbed waistband that creates a sharp cinch against the otherwise relaxed, flowing bodice. The button front and subtle flare at the sleeves lend it a soft, vintage-leaning structure that sits neatly at the natural waist. It is a quiet, textural piece designed to anchor a coastal rotation.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: Composed of 70% polyester and 30% synthetic fiber, this garment relies on petroleum-based polymers which offer poor breathability and high potential for microplastic shedding. The inclusion of an "antibacterial fiber" finish suggests the addition of chemical treatments that may disrupt the skin's natural microbiome.
