Benni Stripe Cardigan

This cardigan leans into a 1960s mod aesthetic with its high, rounded neckline and cropped, boxy structure. The slinky, high-gauge knit provides a sleek drape, while the contrast gold-tone buttons and patch pockets add a sharp, structural finish to the horizontal stripes. It hits at the high hip, making it a natural partner for high-waisted trousers or A-line skirts.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: This garment is composed entirely of petroleum-based synthetic fibers (acrylic, polyester, and polyamide), which offer poor breathability and can trap heat against the skin. The requirement for dry cleaning suggests the use of chemical solvents that may linger on the fabric, posing a risk of dermal irritation.
