Cafe Cardigan

This cardigan is cut with a slim, high-set crewneck and a cropped hem that hits right at the waistline, creating a compact, structured silhouette. The midweight knit features a fine, uniform texture punctuated by a row of polished gold-tone buttons, while the scalloped edges at the cuffs and hem offer a subtle, nostalgic finish. It reads as a modern take on 1960s leisurewear, designed to be worn buttoned-up as a light top rather than a traditional layering piece.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: This garment is constructed from a blend of viscose and nylon; viscose is a chemically intensive semi-synthetic, while nylon is a petroleum-based plastic fiber. The combination of these materials results in limited breathability and a higher potential for chemical off-gassing and microplastic shedding during wear and laundering.
