August Button Up Top

This midweight cardigan features a distinct, wide-ribbed hem that pulls the silhouette inward, creating a subtle blouson effect at the waist. The fine-gauge knit sits close to the torso, while the sleeves offer a slight flare that breaks from the strict structure of the button-front placket. It reads as a modern take on the classic twinset, functioning best when paired with high-waisted denim or linen trousers for a balanced, coastal-leaning proportion.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is composed of a 70% polyester and 30% viscose blend, which relies heavily on petroleum-derived synthetics. The inclusion of polyester significantly reduces breathability and increases the risk of microplastic shedding, while the viscose component involves chemically intensive processing methods.
