Striped crew cardigan

The quick answer is to select the size and the length of the cut that gives you a warm yet simple layer. In this collection, you’ll find multiple fabric types: Defacto uses 93% viscose with 7% polyester, and LC Waikiki uses 100% acrylic, plus blends such as 73% viscose and 27% polyester or 68% viscose and 32% polyester. Colors include beige, brown, pink, black, and white. Sizes range from XS to XXL in some European listings, making it easy to coordinate with shirts and skirts—or with an outer coat—for a complete look.

Fabric determines the feel, warmth level, and ease of care. A fabric with 93% viscose/96% polyester provides high softness and a smooth drape with a light weight, giving you an elegant look that matches everyday work outfits. 100% acrylic fabrics offer stronger warmth and easier maintenance, but they’re less soft than viscose blends. Pieces that combine 73% viscose with 27% polyester—or 68% viscose with 32% polyester—offer a balance of softness and stretch, making them suitable for long wear and easy styling with basic pieces.

These cardigans are suitable for women looking for a lightweight outer layer with a distinctive striped touch. Sizes from XS to XXL are available to fit different body types. With options from Defacto and LC Waikiki, you’ll also find styles like Regular Fit and Crew Neck Striped that match your everyday style. Soft colors like beige and brown make it easy to coordinate with simple outfits, while black and pink add a more stylish touch. Pair them with jeans or a skirt for a modern, comfortable work or school look.

Wash in cold water and avoid harsh detergents or color bleach, as these can ruin the stripe colors and reduce the fabric’s softness. It’s best to air dry, then store in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to preserve the stripe color and shine. Follow each model’s care instructions, since some fabrics may require ironing at a reduced heat setting. To extend the garment’s life, avoid storing it next to harsh metal belts and avoid pulling it or stressing it while folding.

Start with the EU sizes shown in the listings, from XS to XXL. Choose a size that allows you to move comfortably and keeps shoulder freedom while matching the length of the cut to your height. For styling, try pairing the striped cardigan with a simple shirt and jeans for an everyday outfit, or with a blouse and more formal pieces for a work setting. Also rely on neutral colors for a more cohesive look, and keep the rest of the outfit simple so the stripe lines stand out.
